Apologies for not sure how to find the answer. I am assuming if a female body part is exposed it's ok, but, my question is, to what extent constitutes a breach or breakage of said rules.

Thanks so much !

OK thanks so much. What about hands touching models? Probably not - Could be sexual contact?

Hands touching is not a problem, well, as long as they are not your hands.
