Is it true that you can't have Hardcore Porn in Oklahoma?

[digitaldivas]

WTF? Is this even possible with the internet? What, do the ISP's tell on you or something? That's about the dumbest thing I have ever heard...

[mikesinner]

Who needs porn when you have cows.

[trevesty]

It wouldn't surprise me given the other fairly weird laws they have that are almost impossible to enforce.

[digitaldivas]

I honestly had no idea that it was illegal... anywhere. We are talking like bangbros stuff. Which, in my mind isn't even hardcore, really.

[Rochard]

Odd enough most of these laws have to do with "community standards" which is a very vague term. Usually this means if your neighbors - or jurors - find the content to offensive, it may in fact be illegal.

"Community standards" is the federal law as well as state law as ruled by the Federal Supreme Court.

About a year ago I was looking for photog in OK and was really surprised how hard it was to find someone in fact I never did find anyone to shoot in OK and I wasn't even looking for hardcore. I've heard it is like a different country in OK and that you have to wear cowboy boots at all times...even while sleeping.

Real laws in Oklahoma:

It is illegal to have sex before you are married.

It’s statutory rape for a man over 18 to have sex with a female under the age of 18, provided she’s a virgin.

Making hash in Oklahoma will get you a life sentence.

That's the price you have to pay for freedom.

[beerptrol]

You'd be surprised how many places still have laws on the books against oral and anal sex!

[freecartoonporn]

damn anal sex is crime in some countries.

[Throckmorton]

Obscenity is illegal everywhere in the US. As a couple of posts above mention, it is ?community standards? that determine what is obscene, but, as a practical matter, prosecutions for obscenity are unusual in all but the most extreme cases. Getting a conviction for distribution of routine porn is hard work for a prosecutor, even in a place as conservative as Oklahoma, and prosecutors in general shy away from anything that isn?t easy. The arrival of the internet has of course muddied the waters in saying just what is and is not a ?community.?

That's not too bad.

just saw this article http://www.okgazette.com/oklahoma/ar...-oklahoma.html

I expect JB will chime in but as I understand it

It is not illegal in any state to possess pornography of any kind EXCEPT CP

archaic laws may still be on the books but when the Supreme Court ruled in Lawrence v. texas they defacto struck down all sodomy laws in all 50 states whether they are still on the books or not.

I believe that only selling pornography in OK could be illegal based on how they define obscenity. But it is not illegal to posses

Yes, that is the way that I understand it, as well.
