As used in this chapter, the following terms shall have the meanings
indicated:
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.
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 in sex; that it depicts
or describes in a patently offensive manner, actual or simulated, sexual intercourse,
sodomy, sexual bestiality, masturbation, sadism, masochism, excretion or lewd
exhibition of the genitals; and, considered as a whole, that 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 dimension to be designed for children
or other specially susceptible audience.
PERFORMANCE
Any play, motion picture, dance or other exhibition performed before
an audience.
PROMOTE
To manufacture, issue, sell, give, provide, lend, mail, deliver,
transfer, transmute, publish, distribute, circulate, disseminate, present,

SIMULATED
The explicit depiction or description of any of the types of conduct
set forth in the definition of "obscene" in this section, which creates the
appearance of such conduct.
WHOLESALE PROMOTE
To manufacture, issue, sell, provide, mail, deliver, transfer, transmute,
publish, distribute, circulate, disseminate or to offer or agree to do the
