Answer to Question 1

- Many studies have demonstrated a link between violent pornography and callousness or violent tendencies toward women, but some studies have found the same link for violent materials without the sexually explicit content.
- The distinction between violent materials and violent pornography is becoming increasingly important as both violence and sex become more prevalent and more easily accessible on TV, DVDs, the Internet, and in video and computer games.
- Clearly, violence, whether or not in a sexual context, has the ability to influence men's attitudes toward women and may translate into greater violence toward, victimization of, and discrimination against women.

Answer to Question 2

1. Whether the work depicts or describes, in a patently offensive way, sexual conduct specifically defined by the applicable state law.
2. Whether the work, taken as whole, lacks serious literary, artistic, political, or scientific value.
3. Whether an average person, applying contemporary community standards, would find that the work, taken as a whole, appeals to a prurient interest in sex.
