Deemed obscene by the DOJ and other prosecutors but NOT found obscene by juries -- the obscenity cases that have gone to juries [as opposed to taking a plea bargain] are getting NOT GUILTY verdicts. Having the DOJ accuse your material of being obscene does NOT make it so.

Again, there is a constitutional right to _possess_ obscene material in the United States.

Assuming all consenting adults, Vomiting on someone is not illegal. Nor is taking a shit on someone, pissing on them, eating shit or drinking piss. All perfectly legal in the privacy of your own home. The constitutional right to possession of obscene material would allow me to make a video of that and keep it. This is perfectly legal.

The government wants to send people to prison when they _sell_ those videos to other consenting adults that want to see it. From the constitutional scholar point of view, it should not matter if content turns someone's stomach as long as the performers are consenting and the buyer wants to buy it.

If you start making judgments as to what is acceptable and what "crosses the line" then someone else may believe YOUR content "crosses the line". If you look at content that only depicts consenting adults and go "Ewww, the people that sell this should go to PRISON for selling that" what is to say that someone else looks at YOUR content and says the same thing??
"I think images of a man giving another man a blowjob is obscene and anyone that sells this filth should go to jail" is subjective. Different juries could come to different conclusions -- some would agree with that statement and some would not, and thus a law that can be interpreted _subjectively_ is inherently unfair.

Any law that would criminalize a specific act between adults would be struck down, so the act of one consenting adult shitting in the mouth of another consenting adult is definitely a protected act -- so everything that does not include animals or children is legal to do at home. If the act is legal, then the filming and distribution of that film should also be protected.

I may not choose to watch such material, but I understand that the laws that protect MY expression also protect the free expression of the people that act in, produce, distribute, and purchase that material.
