The reason is that there is no answer to the question. What is "illegal" in porn is what is "obscene," and that is generally determined once you end up in court.
So, try to stay out of court.
There are some "patently obscene" things, like child pornography, but most of the rest of it is gray area which depends upon a judge or a jury to finally settle it.

and what's makes that area more gray is that there are almost no national standards on what is/isn't obscene (save for child porn). The Supreme Court gave localities the right to define obscenity for *their* communities. Obscenity is a local issue, which is a lot of porn is illegal in a few american states and/or counties. Likewise, that's why prostitution is legal in parts of Nevada but not elsewhere.
Very gray indeed.
