For purposes of this chapter, the following definitions are applicable:
OBSCENE
Any material or performance is obscene: If the average person, applying
contemporary community standards, would find that considered as a whole its
predominant appeal is to the prurient interest; if it depicts in a patently
offensive manner, actual or simulated, sexual intercourse, sodomy, sexual
bestiality, masturbation, sadism, masochism, excretion or lewd exhibition
of the genitals; and if, considered as a whole, it lacks serious literary,
artistic, political, and scientific value. Predominant appeal shall be judged
with reference to ordinary adults unless it appears from the character of
the material or the circumstances of its dissemination to be designated for
children or other especially susceptible audience.
MATERIAL
Anything tangible which is capable of being used or adapted to arouse
interest, whether through the medium of reading, observation, sound or in
any other manner.
PROMOTE
To manufacture, issue, sell, give, provide, lend, mail, deliver,
transfer, transmute, publish, distribute, circulate, disseminate, present,
exhibit or advertise, or to offer or agree to do the same.
