UK bans production of certain types of porn

[Monoriu]

How are they going to distinguish between aggressive and non-aggressive whipping?

What are objects associated with violence?

Why is "consensual verbal abuse" banned?  Is it "abuse" if it is "consensual"?

What is so bad about facesitting if it is consensual?  Seems to me it is just another position used in sex.

What's wrong with female ejaculation anyway?

[Martinus]

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.

Yeah. And what about "verbal abuse"? This one is ridiculous. It's even permitted in prime time tv after all.

Imagination always thrives on prohibitions; I'm sure this will unleash a new golden age of British porn as filmmakers come up with new, yet not banned, sexual practices to shoot.

The one that sticks out to me as ridiculous is female ejaculation.  Welp, a bunch of British porn actresses just found themselves out of work.  Squirters need not apply.

I get the feeling that they've made a legislative finding that it doesn't exist.

From the Comments in the article Richard posted.  No idea on the validity of any of it.

Here's a copy of a letter from the BBFC addressing the subject directly:

The BBFC responded to research on female ejaculation submitted to the BBFC by Feminists Against Censorship:

"If I may clarify our position, the Board does not in fact take any view on whether or not female ejaculation exists. As you admit in your letter this is a controversial and much-debated area with a range of views being taken amongst medical professionals. At the most basic level, however, the Board is content that the pornographic tapes so far presented to us as examples of 'female ejaculation' are in fact nothing other than straightforward scenes of urination masquerading as 'female ejaculation'. This has been confirmed by a female sexual health expert who the Board has consulted on a range of issues relating to videos intended for the 'R18' category.

Quite the opposite of attempting to confront the issue of female ejaculation in a reassuring, sympathetic or informative light, the tapes in question appear to be nothing more than a cynical attempt on the part of porn distributors to get around the constraints imposed on urolagnia in sex tapes by the current interpretation of the Obscene Publications Act. It is worth noting that the kind of material that the Board has been cutting is regularly sold as 'urolagnia' in other European countries (France, Germany, Netherlands, etc) where there is no equivalent legal restriction on the use of urine in sex videos. Indeed, although videos featuring urolagnia are very much in evidence on the continent, videos purporting to show 'female ejaculation' seem to be invisible. Perhaps female ejaculation is less exciting (or profitable) to pornographers and their viewers than urination? Generally speaking sex videos of the type encountered at 'R18' neither seek to inform nor educate about female (or male) sexuality but merely offer graphic (and grossly distorted) views of sex for the arousal of viewers. Indeed, as you acknowledge in your letter "much of the material [the Board] passes with an 'R18' certificate does not necessarily represent the sexual experiences of all women".

To conclude, the Board remains open minded about the issue of female ejaculation but we have yet to be presented with any pornographic video that has convinced us - or our medical advisor - that it consists of anything other than an excuse to display scenes of urolagnia. Such scenes are regularly found obscene by juries in the UK and therefore cannot be classified."

But it will not be the golden shower age.

A good friend of mine recently started dating a girl who turned out to be a big time squirter. He is utterly fascinated by it now.

[Ideologue]

I'd have been more into it if the squirter I dated was otherwise hot.

Anyway, thanks sbr. I was pretty close.

Kill Cromwell's ghost. (Actually, I'm uncertain to what extent showers porn and fisting are legal in tje US today. )

Because sex just isn't messy enough.  Barf.

[Martinus]

This gives me an idea about moving to Slupsk and turning it into the capital-in-exile of British porn...

[Valmy]

You should go to a small town nobody in Britain has heard of.  Maybe Danzig.

[Martinus]

But seriously, what's the first stop in France on Eurostar? Calais? If the French have any clout, they would announce tax breaks there for the British porn industry. 

[The Brain]

Is this for real? Somehow I doubt this is the way to regain Empire. FIAL

I've said before that I think the end of legal BDSM in private is coming. One step closer.

I am reminded of this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IcTP7YWPayU

They'll never totally outlaw BDSM services.  Too many trial lawyers are clients.

[Syt]

They'll never totally outlaw BDSM services.  Too many trial lawyers tory politicians are clients.

FYP.

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?

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).

Poor Triga. They are doomed.
