You did? Welcome to the adult biz!
A definition of obscenity is as elusive as Utopia in most other countries as well as the US - it always was.
The reason for, eg a visit by the FBI is to permit them collect evidence for evaluation (same in most countries) and based on that "evidence" a decision will be made to prosecutor under whatever laws (they may be called "Obscenity" laws or some other stuff).
Until a jury revues the evidence in court and delivers a verdict - who knows what is obscene or not? That's why the jury is there.
Before ever reaching that stage, any webmaster can use his/her own judgement as to what is displayed on websites. If you feel you could not stand in front of a jury and explain, (using any known precedents and exclusions within whatever law), why the talent has a dick suck in her face and a dripping cumshot, - perhaps it's better to avoid using that image.
There are also some, often very weird guidelines provided by first ammendment lawyers. One being... blowjobs are fine, but not have the hand of they guy getting the blowjob on the head of the girl - reason being the suggestion of "forced sex".
Hell I give up.. It's easier not falling under US laws and just using common sense :-)
