UK porn restrictions

Post by favouriteworstnightmare »

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/a- ... 97174.html

So it seems that the British government are trying to stop non vanilla acts being performed in the porn industry without any real explanation, other than that three of the acts banned may be life threatening. The three acts judged to be life threatening were, strangulation, face sitting and fisting. Now while these three acts have the potential to be dangerous I can't imagine there is much threat on camera as if there was any sign of genuine distress in the case of strangulation, the actor doing the strangling will be able tell if the other actor is in genuine distress. In the case of facesitting I'd expect the director to be able to notice if someone was being suffocated and put a stop to the scene at once. Finally, in the case of fisting you'd expect the actor who was performing the fisting to have the knowledge and experience to know not force the fish into the anus or vagina and to make sure the hole is fully warmed up. Of course there is still some risk of an accident happening but we consider that risk acceptable in other, more dangerous areas of the entertainment industry such as boxing or stunt men in films so why should porn be different.

The rest of the list that contains things such as spanking, female ejaculation and caning are clearly just tacked onto the bill because of prudishness. To make matters worse the Houses of Parliament porn is accessed 30 000 times a year, so the chances are some peers and MPs who voted for this Amendment are viewers of porn which most likely contain at least spanking. I mean the Chancellor of the Exchequer is rumoured to have visited at least one dominatrix, if that's true I find it highly unlikely he doesn't consume kinky porn. One half of the coalition are called Liberal Democrats, what could possibly be liberal about restricting the type of porn film that can be made and it isn't even the first act regulating porn this government has passed,

The bill doesn't even prevent people watching the movies, they just can no longer be made in Britain which will have to effects, driving British kink porn underground and people watching films from abroad, both which will see the tax intake from porn decline. I'm sick of the ideological ideas of a small Westminster elite being thrust upon the general public in the guise of concern for people.

As you pointed out. plenty of people who voted on the issue will be affected by the restrictions. I feel that a lot of people who would vote against it would only do so anonymously so it doesn't hurt their reputation. Thing is there's relatively little benefit to a MP's career in voting against something like this because they'll get negative press as a pervert who enjoys being tied up even if it has no bearing on how well they do their job. There's also plenty of people in their constituency who will be disgusted at their MP and MP's sure don't want to lose voters. It may be silly for most of us but for them their career is far more important than being able to watch some British made porn.

I think the prudes are outnumbered by modern liberal people and if the MPs don't start reflecting those views they will find themselves out of a job. People are already seeking alternatives in the form of UKIP and The Green Party, I could never vote for any of the main three parties as they have all proved to be against a liberal democracy. I also highly doubt people know what their local MP votes for in the commons, as most people vote for a party rather than a person so don't feel the need to know what their MP votes for,

What I particularly find puzzling is that they're banning spanking and caning, which are almost stereotypically british fetishes.

I'm British and it is universally accepted that MP's are miles out of touch with human beings its crazy. Also, the conservative party are split between prudes who are scared of anything even vanilla, and a minority of people who are the complete opposite, but scared to confirm what people suspect/know. As for the liberal democrats, they are not liberal on anything at all, they're the conservatives lapdogs who are out of power in a few months time.

                     This is much the same as old legislation in that you can posses porn but cannot profit from it in the UK.

                     Paedophilia is different in that it is also illegal to make it and possessing a file that can put an image on a screen or paper counts as that action.

I wouldn't be too sure, we may have to put up with Deputy PM Clegg again.

Nothing new is actually being banned, it's just a bunch of measures to control how this material is distributed. Ie not on on demand tv services online. In reality you can still create and distribute all of these things in the uk. As the article has actually demonstrated with the female supremacy site that got an exemption. Other sites can get these exemptions too. I found the article more than a little sensationalist and it. Old be argued that it's scare mongering too.

I don't support these reforms, but they do not ban anything that isn't already banned. There's nothing really new here.

I didnt read the article yet,

but still got a question: Is it only for the adult-movies which are distributed and sold through retailers, or also for short video clips which are sold on UK websites? I am thinking about all the memberships of thousands of people on several sites with special access to those member areas.

And there is no effect on dommes/mistress/ladies in the UK, so they are still free to offer every service they want except filming their actions? :unsure: :huh:

2: I dont know, its hard to tell.
1: I know lets ban touching at all in sex.
2: WOW great idea - we can watch lots of people dry hump the air :D
