B. The provisions of this chapter are not intended to and do not prohibit the simulation of sex acts which are part of nonobscene expression.
C. Whether or not activity is obscene shall be judged by consideration of the following factors:
1. Whether the average person, applying contemporary community standards, would find that the activity taken as a whole appeals to the prurient interest in sex; and
2. Whether the activity depicts or describes sexual conduct in a patently offensive way, as measured against community standards, and as described in RCW 7.48A.010(2)(b); and
3. Whether the activity taken as a whole lacks serious literary, artistic, political or scientific value. (Ord. 2546 § 2 (part), 2010: Ord. 1966 § 2, 1998: Ord. 1920 § 3, 1996).
