sale and distribution to minors of comic books devoted to crime, sex,
horror, terror, brutality and violence; and of "pocket books," photographs,
pamphlets, magazines and pornographic films devoted to the presentation
and exploration of illicit sexual conduct, lust, depravity, brutality,
nudity and immorality are a contributing factor to juvenile crime,
a basic factor in impairing the moral development of youth in the
community and a clear and present danger to the people of the City.
Therefore, the provisions hereinafter prescribed are enacted, and
their necessity in the public interest is hereby declared as a matter
of legislative determination.

or ground for belief which warrants further inspection or inquiry
of both:

persons' genitals, pubic area, buttocks or female breasts and which
would appeal to the lust of minors or to their curiosity as to sex
or to the anatomical differences between the sexes and which are to
be distinguished from the flat and actual presentation of the facts,

such as to be found in a bona fide medical or biological textbook.
