"average person" and "contemporary community standards" are in tons of court decisions. It's not a simple definition, but any lawyer or judge in the US will be familiar with it.

The legalese phrases don't bother me, it's the declaration that anything that might arouse a teenager is harmful to them. That's a fight against basic puberty biology they are going to lose, but hurt a lot of people in the battle.
