Obscenity, pornography and indecency [2]

The terms Obscenity, pornography and indecency are closely related, but they are different in ways such as:

Obscenity doesn't limit to matured content. Any act, verbally or non-verbally, that is offensive in nature in terms of religion, belief, and morals. Lewd comments or sexually suggestive acts are obscene as they are lustful. Not only that, torturing of innocent beings or acts of monstrosity that are disgustingly inhuman are offensive acts.

Obscene Interiors

South African artists Brandt Botes, aka Von Brandis

Indecency is viewed through the society, religion, or family's generally accepted standards of proper manners. The society's standard of moral acts and proper manners in old times are stricter than now. Any act that crosses the line of societal moral values will be deemed indecent. As an example, even now, Islam prohibits their female Muslim followers from joining beauty pageants as it'll mean exposing "aurat" [wrist, hair, ankles, chest area, waist navel, shape of body], especially in the swimming suit stage.

Pornography means creative works, such as painting, carving, filming, animation, drawing, etc; that contains sexual

[warning: matured content]
For example, the creative works below are pornographic material as they have sexual content or made to arouse lust.

The Cully Flaug'd

What Drudgery’s here, what Bridewell-like Correction!
To bring an Old Man, to an Insurrection.
Firk[1] on Fair Lady [,] Flaug the Fumblers Thighs [,]
Without such Conjuring th’ Devil will not rise

The work is obscene, as the work depicts matured content with views of bared private parts. The caption of the work states flogging as a sexual act that arouses men.
