Is the Song of Solomon prurient?

It is neither prurient nor erotic, since the reproductive organs are not mentioned. "Surreal" would be a more accurate label.In addition:According to our tradition (and Rashi commentary), the Song of Songs, unlike all other Hebrew Bible books, has no simple meaning and is to be explained, read and understood ONLY as an allegory (it hints to the love between God and His people, in the poetic form of a loving young couple). All other Tanakh books have their plain translation, which is valuable in itself, plus deeper meanings and allegory. The Song of Songs is the only exception.See also the Related Link.More about the Hebrew Bible

How has the US Supreme Court's interpretation of obscenity changed over time?

That has greatly varied. The most serious attempt to define it was when it was ruled that in order for something to be regarded as "obscene" it would have to utterly lack any " scientific, literary, artistic, political or social value", often called the SLAPS test. (The current standard is called the Miller Test; see Related Questions)It has also depended on "community values", a rather nebulous term that in all practicality means "whatever the loudest citizen's group in your town can bully the DA into prosecuting".It has even been circularly defined. As in: What is" Obscenity"? See prurient. What is "Prurient"? See obscenity.Justice Potter Stewart, in 1964, quite honestly admitted that he could not define obscenity, but famously said, "I know it when I see it".
