Legal definition of "prurient" clarifies excessive sexual interest standard for obscenity determinations

The legal term "prurient" refers to having or encouraging excessive interest in sexual matters. Dictionary definitions characterize it as inordinate interest in sex, with psychological applications describing persons unusually or morbidly interested in sexual thoughts or practices. Literature or acts that arouse sexual desire, are lascivious, salacious, or voyeuristic are classified as prurient and categorized as obscene under legal interpretation. The term originates from Latin meaning "to itch" or "be wanton" and serves as a key criterion in determining obscenity in legal contexts.
