As used in this article, the following terms shall have the
meanings indicated:
HARMFUL TO MINORS
That quality of any description or representation, in whatever

abuse, which taken as a whole appeals to the prurient interest in
sex, which taken as a whole portrays sexual contact in a patently
offensive way, and which taken as a whole does not have serious literary,
artistic, political or scientific value. Whether a work appeals to
the prurient interest and whether it depicts or describes sexual conduct
in a patently offensive way, and whether it has serious literary,
artistic, political or scientific value are to be determined by applying
contemporary community standards in the adult community as a whole
with respect to what is suitable material for minors.
