(A) It is unlawful to sell or offer for sale or expose in any public place or anywhere in view in a store or place frequented by the public any obscene publications, written or printed matter, or pictures, or other representation. It is unlawful to keep such publication, printed or written matter, pictures or other representation in any place frequented by or where it might come into the possession of any minor person, or to disclose or expose such material to a minor.
(B) Basic guidelines for determining the obscene nature of any publication or material are:
(1) Whether the average person applying contemporary community standards would find the work taken as a whole, appeals to the prurient interest;
(2) Whether the work depicts or describes in a patently offensive way, sexual conduct specifically defined by state law; and
(3) Whether the work taken as a whole, lacks serious literary, artistic, political, or scientific value.
