A long list of sex acts just got banned in UK porn

December 04 2014

I came across an article recently advising of UK censorship for British made porn (doesn't effect what is accessible - just what's made there, kinda useless censorship really) "Pornography produced in the UK was quietly censored today through an amendment to the 2003 Communications Act, and the measures appear to take aim at female pleasure.Seemingly arbitrarily deciding what is nice sex and what is not nice sex, the board's ruling on 'content that is not acceptable' effectively bans the following acts from being depicted by British pornography producers:SpankingCaningAggressive whippingPenetration by any object "associated with violence"Physical or verbal abuse (regardless of if consensual)Urolagnia (known as "water sports")Role-playing as non-adultsPhysical restraintHumiliationFemale ejaculationStrangulationFacesittingFistingThe final three listed fall under acts the BBFC views as potentially "life-endangering". Personally, if it is with CONSENTING adults, I don't mind what goes on. Their bodies, their pleasure - go for it.But there are arguments for censorship. What are your opinions of porn & censorship?

    While most censorship really has little effect in the information world we live in, I do believe there are levels required. Mostly because some acts should not be reflected in society as acceptable norms and given the easy access to porn sites, children should not be exposed to these things, and even less so as social norms. The difficulty then becomes how you measure what is and is not acceptable? For me I feel there needs to be less emphasis on blanket censorship and more on permission control to ensure the vulnerable cannot access such material. However I do believe the adult world needs to grow up a little and a good dose of RHP would do everyone some good by helping people realise that their vanilla lives and communities are not really the norm they believe it to be.

    It's fucked. Consensual sexual acts between adults (and watched by consenting adults) have no business being governed in my view. What the hell. And when did squirting become a sex act rather than a physiological response?

    I can't see a problem with these except this Role-playing as non-adults. I do think that could lead to other issues depending on what it was in the act. Like if a man dresses up in a diaper and wants to be spanked and called Sally, go for it!😏 But if it's about a underage girl then I've got concerns.😳

    I dont understand why it would be banned, though some porn is pretty gross! i guess with the net these days if you want to see it you can find it! but im with you as long as its between consenting adults go for it :)

    Just my 2 cents worth I can see a possible reason for humiliation etc to be banned but why do the do-gooders have a problem with face sitting, spanking and female ejaculation. They don't represent the few British friends I know who are most enlightened. - Posted from rhpmobile

    Although, I was watch Law and Order SVU last night. The story was based around a 'comedian' that used rape as the central theme to his act. Even I thought the material went too far. Whether that means he shouldn't be allowed to say it is another question and says a lot about the person laughing.

    its up to me and my freedom how to be and in a way behave, my choice and my responsibility, everything has consequences.... ....I think the question will be....is it ok to show violent behavior in Porn? However we ban it in porn we have to ban it on all Movies too. Violence and humiliation is shown not only in porn....so where are our rights as adults to choose what we want to see? This will be another right which is taken away from us, and goes underground, as it was before in history. People who are attracted by this kind of stuff will always find it.

    Unfortunately , many of the females in the porn industry are sex slaves , so I don't think some of the rough , abusive porn is really consensual . I think a review of the industry is warranted . The Internet explosion has allowed for thousands more movies , some very dubious , to be released without censorship . I've come across many disturbing movies , whilst cruising around porn sites and I think there needs to be some sort of Regulation . & I like Porn ! GG♒️ - Posted from rhpmobile

    I don't think politicians should be telling consenting adults what they can or can't do in the privacy of their own, well, wherever.

    Okay I can understand some of those bans coming from strict vanilla folk..... although I though English politicians where know for their naughty carry on? I can see them spanking each other and half of them wearing suspenders and stockings under their Saville Row suits. But what is so wrong with female ejaculation? Do they mean squirting?

    Also, consensual can be coloured in different lights. There is concerns with women amongst children being taken and forced into containers, shipped into some studios and introduced to the market of wierdos who are prepared to pay money for the thrill of the shock factor and realness of these sexual acts. If it is in desperation to remedy that side of the porn industry, guessing it becomes quite a complex argument. Mado Mado Tara xx

    Quoting 'madotara69' Also, consensual can be coloured in different lights. There is concerns with women amongst children being taken and forced into containers, shipped into some studios and introduced to the market of wierdos who are prepared to pay money for the thrill of the shock factor and realness of these sexual acts. If it is in desperation to remedy that side of the porn industry, guessing it becomes quite a complex argument. Mado Mado Tara xxI fully appreciate what you are saying Mado. Any people (men, women or children) that have been stolen from their homes & families to be traded into the sex industry, suffering horrible existences: drugged to be used, abused and filmed for the gratification of others is utterly unimaginable. The people perpetrating these crimes are pure evil and should suffer beyond the limits of my imagination.But my post was directed at the porn industry that is regulated and now further restricted to depict some of the following acts: Spanking, Urolagnia (known as "water sports"), Physical restraint, Female ejaculation, Facesitting, Fisting. They all seem pretty reasonable to me and again, if performed by consenting adults, what's the problem?If the UK government was so concerned about preventing the horrible situation you mention above, would they not then limit the content that they are targeting from being available at all, not just from it being produced in the UK? As Litonya said "People who are attracted by this kind of stuff will always find it" So why restrict a more controlled environment that is producing it, to still ultimately allow the content from other countries that may well be utilising the above mentioned barbaric tactics?There is no easy answer. But censorship of only one component doesn't seem to be the solution in my opinion.

    Supply is not restricted from sources outside the UK, it's just banned it from being produced.... Where does it stop people from enjoying it exactly?? - Posted from rhpmobile

    Quoting 'Meeka100' But what is so wrong with female ejaculation? Do they mean squirting? they mean squirting, and the only reason I've so far seen suggested for that is because quite a lot of people still believe that female ejaculate is piss (and the people who have put these regs in place obviously wouldn't have a clue themselves, it could be fucking Mountain Dew for all they would know). So they ban female pleasure-oriented things like face sitting and female ejaculation, but of course it's still fine to show a woman gagging on a cock and taking a load in the face. Every article I've read about it agrees that these regulations are ridiculous and they'll hardly do anything to address the issues they are supposedly addressing anyway.

    Yes, as I said a complicated argument and without knowledge to the whole purpose, all that comes to mind is why? I did listen to a legal program on the ABC about porn of similar nature to this topic, It was to do with international problems of due restriction with controlling, enforcing what is available to view on the WWW. Only what goes on in the home turf can be ruled as law and prosecuted as such. I find it difficult to comprehend in this day and times, that the (vanilla) population have such contest to others kinks. More inclined to believe of the ever growing market for the darker sides of the porn industry spreading its feelers for an audience. Female ejaculation is a wonderful thing if the female is enjoying it with freedoms, unfortunately some are forced into the appearance they enjoy it and that is where my beliefs tend in hope the governments are attempting anything they can.

    There is a big difference between banning, censorship, and outlawing. Many countries use the Film classification system as a way to regulate what can and can not be sold to the general public. The amendments to the act state that these (sex) acts do no long fall under the R18+ rating (formally X rating) approval guidelines. This does not mean it is against the law to produce films that have content that may fail classification, and should not effect the export of films as it is up to the importing county to rate the films. The poms are a funny lot, with their rating system yoyoing between conservative and liberal form decade to decade. "The life of Brian" for a while had an X rating in the UK while at the same time the BBC gave it a 14+ rating and aired it. In the end the Porn industry is driven by demand, and in many counties it is a significant generator of wealth, and thus TAXs. If the new rating restriction adversely effect the industry the porn industries will have a easy time lobbying the next government for change. If the industry is not effected and people are happy to consume what is available then it will likely stay in place. It is way to easy to purchase this material from overseas, I would put strong odd's that the next government will over turn these changes. Its easy to stand on a moralistic shoe box, but when the £1 billion UK porn industry begins to decline there will be heads rolling. Voters easily sacrifice morality of lower taxes. Personally I deplore all types of censorship. This in no way mean that I approve of any exploitative material being produced, but that is not an issues of rating control, it is an issue of criminal law. Though it is a type of censorship most counties do not allow the distribution of any material produced while committing a crime. Thus there should be no need for censorship, if it is legal to do, then it should be legal to sell.

    The UK unfortunately not just in the original topic raised by Bazingal but generally in all areas are censoring everything. One of the people I studied with recently had completed his tertiary education in the UK and even the term 'brainstorming' cannot be used in classrooms to collate ideas because it may be considered offensive to people diagnosed with schizophrenia. Censorship does have it's place, but politicians need to use some common sense in determining this. Unfortunately, a politician with common sense is going to be a long hard search.
