Generally all these terms are referred to discreditable and ugly materials in media, however there are some differences between them which I'm going to explain in a very simple English.
Well, Obscenity means lewdness, or offensiveness in behavior, expression, or appearance that
violate accepted standards of sexual morality which means any media that show sexual materials in a very direct and abnormal way such as ultimate sexual acts, normal or perverted, actual or simulated, Masturbation, excretory functions and lewd exhibition of the genitals; and
Sadism and masochism which can be appeared in any kinds of media like motion pictures, film,
printed media, digital media, stories and so on are obscene.
Indecency seems is not as heavily as obscenity because it usually refers to materials that may
contain some nudity or sexual behaviors, but it is not prurient, and according to many countries'
law specially United States, these shows can be distributed on TV at safe harbor time (when there is not a reasonable risk that children may be in the audience which differs in countries but in US is 10pm-6am).
Pornography is sexually explicit media, and mostly refers to photos, videos and magazines which are contain sexual scenes. The objective of pornography, these days, is mostly sexual pleasure, although it might also have an educational purpose. On the other hand pornography might be known as obscenity in religious societies or many countries around the world. Pornography overally is not good because of its bad influences on mind and soul and besides because of its addictive nature.
In short, any of these terms may changed in different societies depending on people's cultural
backgrounds, religions and believes, so for example these definitions are true in western countries like Europe and US but they might all be known as obscenity and sin in many other countries.
