What will be an ideal response?
There is no uniform definition for obscenity, but there are several reasons that support policies against obscenity: (1) protection of the community, (2) obscenity causes antisocial conduct, (3) obscenity degrades women, and (4) obscenity produces a sexual, rather than mental, response and is a form of sexual communication rather than the expression of ideas.
