Years ago in a discussion at lunch, I allowed that I was against obscenity
until I found out that the guy I was talking to thought any photo showing a
female breast was obscene. When pressed, he agreed that he would make an
allowance for art museums in that regard.

Since then I have never stated that I am against obscenity and pornography
because there is no concrete definition for either. As Ron Beck cites above,
pornography, like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder. And, as one U.S.
Supreme Court Justice was quoted as saying, "I can't define obscenity, but I
know it when I see it". I may occasionally use the term tasteless to
describe what some others would call obscene.
