Deen, Presiding Judge,
concurring specially on rehearing.
I agree fully with the majority opinion. Appellant strongly contends in his brief and motion for rehearing that "explicit depictions or descriptions of sexual activities, including detailed and vernacular descriptions reaching the ultimate in explicitness” as to bestiality, oral-genital intercourse, homosexual, heterosexual, masturbation and sadomasochism are not obscene, citing such illustrations as "Orgy Club,” "Sex Life of a Cop,” "Sin Whisper” and "The Way of a Man with a Maid.” The latter all involve pre-Miller v. California, 413 U. S. 15 (93 SC 2607, 37 LE2d 419) (1973) tests and materials.
The jury was authorized to find that the materials taken as a whole lack serious scientific, artistic, political and literary value.
