1. Reading a story to a person is not a transfer.

2. Pornography is not the same thing as obsenity.

Nothing you posted would apply to my hypothetical example.

1. I beg to differ.

2. I beg to differ.

To readers: Do NOT attempt to test swalsh's hypothetical to see if you will get arrested or not.

Given your history, sw, I am surprised you are going here.

Obsenity is illegal. Pornography is not. Therefore pornography is not obsenity. If it were, it would be illegal. There is nothing complicated about this distinction other than that some people don't use the legally correct definition of obsenity.

A verbal exchange is not a "furnishing" as defined by the statute. And even if it was, mere words by themselves cannot be pornography.

First, the word is "obscenity" not obsenity. Second, it is defined by each state, based on contemporary community standards. There is no one definition or one statute. Three, read the laws on obscenity and pornography as they apply to minors.

Edit to add a link with an excellent overview of the laws on obscenity/pornography:
