Legal Question in Legal Ethics in California

Is pencil sketching a nude model in one's home legal (this is, of course, assuming the model is over 18)? Likewise, is providing a non-sensual massage in one's home legal (again, adults only)?

1. Yes unless there are unusual details you are leaving out. 2. Yes, if it is not for compensation. For compensation, probably not. In most jurisdictions there are home business regulations and especially massage business regulations that would be violated in probably 99% of home locations.

Yes to pencil sketching. If you are massaging others for money, you would need to comply with local ordinances, and you would need a license from the State.
