OBSCENE: Whether to the average adult person, applying contemporary community standards, the dominant theme of the material or the conduct taken as a whole appeals to the prurient interest. The judge or the jury shall be the sole trier of that which is obscene.
PERSON: Shall not be limited to individuals only but includes public and private corporations, firms, joint associations, partnerships and the like. The word "person" as used in this article to apply to a natural person shall apply equally to the male and female genders.
PRURIENT INTEREST: A shameful or morbid interest in nudity, sex or excretion, which goes substantially beyond customary limits of candor in description or representation of such matters and is a matter which is utterly without redeeming social importance.
WILFULLY: Simply a purpose or willingness to commit the act or to omit an act required in this article. (Prior code §§ 12-10-4, 12-10-8, 12-10-9)
