Many interpretations of obscenity laws state that the "cultural tide" is what
will determine what is obscene. "community standards" is explicitly stressed as
a factor in those laws. The "community standard" will be set by the cultural tide
that has swept the community at the time of trial.

In simple words : When it comes to adult entertainment, if "the people" aren't ready
to see it then don't show it.

I'm not arguing what is "right"; I'm just stating what it is.
