It is forbidden to employ or permit any hostess or other person to mingle with the patrons while such hostess or other person is unclothed or in such attire as described in Subsection A above.

(1) 
Sexual intercourse, masturbation, sodomy, flagellation or any sexual act prohibited by law.

It is forbidden to employ or permit any person in or on the licensed premises to show motion picture film, television-type cassettes, still pictures or other photographic reproductions depicting any of the acts, or any simulation of any of the acts, prohibited in § 248-2 of this chapter.
If any of the provisions of these rules and regulations or the application thereof to any person or circumstance is held invalid, such invalidity shall not affect other provisions of these rules and regulations or the application of each provision, which can be given effect without the invalid provisions or application thereof, and for this purpose the provisions of these rules and regulations are acceptable.
