Is American Apparel Selling Sex?

I was on their site looking for kids t-shirts the other day, and one of the feature images on the site was the one shown here.

Now, I'm all about "Summer Style" but my typical warm weather garb doesn't usually include me open legged in a leotard about to get f-ed on a glass table in the Valley.

Is this supposed to be edgy?

The girl actually looks scared.

I can picture 1 of 4 scenarios taking place here:
1. Photographer says, "Yeah, just open your legs...just like that...that's it. Now a bit more. A little more..."
2. She was posing normally, when an intruder with a knife came in, and told her to open her legs wide before he stabbed everyone on set. She then had to comply to save everyone's lives.
3. She decided to lose her virginity on that very table, and for a wad of extra cash (and perhaps a wad of something else) she agreed to let the photographer shoot it. The fear of her first time, coupled with her crossed morals for doing such a thing were all at play when this very shot was shot.
4. She got this job mixed up with her Nair commercial, and thought she had to show how well the hair removal worked even in something smaller than short shorts.
