(b) \"Female genitals\" includes the labia minora, labia majora, clitoris, vulva, hymen, and vagina. (c) \"Lewdness\" means any indecent or obscene act. (d) \"Prostitution\" means the giving or receiving of the body for sexual activity for hire but excludes sexual activity between spouses. (e) \"Sexual activity\" means oral, anal, or female genital penetration by, or union with, the sexual organ of another; anal or female genital penetration of another by any other object; or the handling or fondling of the sexual organ of another for the purpose of masturbation; however, the term does not include acts done for bona fide medical purposes.”\n\nNote: These definitions control the rest of the chapter. A paid sexual act with a partner at which a camera is present is not excluded by the statutory text; the text contains no exception for filming, streaming, or adult-content production. Whether an on-camera paid act is 'prostitution' under Florida law is not addressed by the statute itself (see could_not_verify).",
