UK bans production of certain types of porn

[Martinus]

Into fisting or watersports porn? Hard luck, UK producers have just been banned from making it

The types of porn producers in the UK are allowed to make changed today, with a ban on specific acts such as fisting, face-sitting and water-sports having taken effect.

Brought in by the Audiovisual Media Services regulation 2014, the ban states that any online paid-for porn such as Video on Demand (VoD) must adhere to the same rules set out for those producing DVDs.

Those rules are set out by the British Board of Film Censors (BBFC).

The change has been criticised for seemingly arbitrarily banning the depiction of certain types of sex on screen. In particular, the new rules have been criticised for blocking acts which are used in porn which depicts women in a position of power.

The full list of now banned acts is available below:

Spanking

Caning

Aggressive whipping

Penetration by any object "associated with violence"

Physical or verbal abuse (regardless of if consensual)

Urolagnia (known as "water sports")

Female ejaculation

Strangulation

Facesitting

Fisting

Porn depicting all of those is still legal to watch in the UK if it has been made abroad.

Some of the stuff being banned is bizarre. "Verbal abuse"? WTF?

Lie back and think of England.

Well, it only took him 64 years longer than he thought, but Hitler finally won the war.

Spanking and caning banned? There's a joke about English public schools in there dying to get out.

I see the reasoning of the others. It's stupid, but I see it. But why is female ejaculation  banned?  Also, who is watching English porn?

Reason #2145 why British politicians are held in utter contempt.

English gay porn at least is a recognised brand. It's less brutal than German (not to mention, Russian) porn but more kinky than vanilla American porn (Americans make even BDSM look vanilla).

This is why you don't rage quit.

Too similar to pissing, maybe (think Cytherea in her prime, or the "Lesbian Bukkake" series)?

Also, why ban fisting? 

[Richard Hakluyt]

Why is pissing so dreadful? I can understand people not being interested but getting enraged about it seems very strange 

The legal climate here is getting increasingly bad for BDSM enthusiasts, this is not the first restrictive legislation they have faced.
