Due to the ravages of age and declining hormone levels, I'm affected very differently now by "art" than I was at the age of 18. I concur with Justice Stewart's observation that I can't define pornography, but "I know it when I see it." And I see things differently than I did 35 years ago, and that's quite a dilemma for legislators and administrators.
Pornography is very definable. But as an umbrella, it is not as big as some want to make it.
