Which term refers to a device designed or marketed as useful primarily for stimulation of human genital organs?

• A. Obscene device
• B. Obscene
• C. Patently Offensive
• D. Wholesale promote

Answer: (A)

The term here is the specific legal label used to classify a physical item: an obscene device. In Texas obscenity law, an obscene device is defined as any object, device, or accessory primarily designed or marketed as useful for stimulating human genital organs, or for sadomasochistic abuse. That precise wording is what makes this term the correct designation for a device intended mainly for sexual stimulation.

Why the other terms don’t fit: “Obscene” describes material or acts that offend standards of decency but isn’t the defined category for a physical device in the statute. “Patently Offensive” is part of the broader obscenity assessment framework (it signals one prong of determining obscenity) rather than naming the device itself. “Wholesale promote” isn’t a recognized legal term related to obscenity classifications.
