Obscenity is illegal. What exactly constitutes obscenity is left up to local standards, which is why the pornography available for sale varies from state to state and city to city.
From Wikepedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obscene..._obscenity_law
"In Miller v. California, the Supreme Court ruled that materials were obscene if they appealed, “to a prurient interest in sex,” showed “patently offensive sexual conduct” that was specifically defined by an obscenity law, and “lacked serious artistic, literary, political, or scientific value.” Decisions regarding whether material was obscene should be based on local, not national, standards."
Title 18, Chapter 71 Obscenity:
