UK Prudes Ban Spanking, Squirting, and Lots of Other Sexy Stuff in Porn

[LittleBlue]

From the land of tea and crumpets comes a head-scratchingly conservative ruling on porn: as of this week, spanking, fisting, watersports, female ejaculation, and facesitting are officially banned in the UK.

British BDSM fans, fear not: you'll still be able to watch your favorite stuff, as long as it's produced elsewhere—the new legislation, called Audiovisual Media Services Regulations 2014, applies only to smut that's produced in-country. The list of banned acts, via the Independent:

Spanking

Caning

Aggressive whipping

Penetration by any object "associated with violence"

Physical or verbal abuse (regardless of if consensual)

Urolagnia (known as "water sports&quot

Female ejaculation

Strangulation

Facesitting

Fisting...

She ejaculated, lock her up!

[True Blue Door]

1. That is so, so wrong.

Banning British dominatrix porn is like banning French wine or Italian food.

[hifiguy]

6. My first thought.

I thought getting spanked with a cane was the national sport among English upper-class males.

This should be an interesting thread.

[True Blue Door]

9. So if a real female police officer is arresting someone

and the arrest is caught on tape, but during the arrest she gets irritated by his lack of cooperation and spanks him, that's not allowed anymore?

[hifiguy]

11. The complications are going to be endless.

[AngryAmish]

36. The consequences will never be the same.

[True Blue Door]

12. I prefer getting my butt beat by brushes and paddles.

Preferably by a zaftig redhead with big vioce and hard hand.

[hifiguy]

15. To each their own.

[Turbineguy]

22. Tanya, the Lotus Eater!

[Blue_Tires]

23. All that stuff is for deviants, freaks and weirdos anyway...

[cloudbase]

38. It's only deviant or weird

if I don't do it.

[True Blue Door]

40. The deviants, freaks, and weirdos who have banned it.

[olddots]

2. I am not going to touch this

[True Blue Door]

7. That's what she said.

[neverforget]

3. Should be entertaining

[True Blue Door]

14. For this to get more interesting, you have to take an interest.

For instance, how many comments here are from peopel who are into at aleast some aspect of this?

What's the breakdown?

[VScott]

4. The women of the Castle Anthrax will be very disappointed

[Takket]

31. i remember watching that movie as a kid...

and having NO clue what oral sex was. That joke flew over my head like and F-16 lol

[True Blue Door]

42. Bad, evil, naughty Zoot!

[deutsey]

44. I also thought of

Sit on my face, and tell me that you love me.
I'll sit on your face and tell you I love you, too.
I love to hear you moralize,
When I'm between your thighs;
You blow me away!

Sit on my face and let my lips embrace you.
I'll sit on your face and let my love be truly.
Life can be fine if we both sixty-nine,
And we'll sit on our faces in all sorts of places and play,
'Till we're blown away!

[dissentient]

5. Not surprised, they have a Big Brother mindset there

Lots of restrictions that we don't have, on free speech, for instance, and they also have fully embraced the surveillance society. The land of a bazillion cameras everywhere, monitoring your every move...

[La Lioness Priyanka]

8. what could possibly be the objection to female ejaculation

[Erich Bloodaxe BSN]

30. That certainly seems to be the odd one out.

The rest of the list looks like they're simply trying to get porn they feel is meant to 'degrade' or 'humilate' women out of the country, but that one is a puzzler.

[Eleanors38]

34. Well, if she is in the Colossus of Rhodes position...

The dude or dudette might get a facial. For some reason, there are those who object.

[NaturalHigh]

10. We fought a war so we wouldn't have to pay any attention to the British.

Actually I didn't know they even made this sort of stuff in the UK. I figured their idea of getting wild was the Royal Shakespeare Company.

13. this is Misleading

Porn studios in the UK have to submit their DVDs to a certification body to receive an R18 rating. That comes from the same censorship body that oversees Hollywood movie releases in the UK: The British Board of Film Classification. The main change that has taken place is that the BBFC is now going to require paid-for online porn to adhere to the same guidelines as DVDs.

The Independent has published a list of sex acts which it claims are now banned in porn. This list includes spanking, caning, whipping, strangulation, fisting and physical abuse.

But the thing is, there isn't a blanket ban on these sex acts. Here's a quote from Murray Perkins, who works at the BBFC, that explains what they actually do when it comes to porn:

"Sex work shouldn’t be in breach of the criminal law; participants must be adults; it shouldn’t encourage an interest in sexually abusive activity — rape or child abuse; it should be consensual; there’s limited scope for role play; but it should be non-harmful and there shouldn’t be any infliction of pain beyond mild consensual activity. Strong sexual threats or abuse are unlikely to be acceptable."

What Perkins is explaining here is that the BBFC is actually pretty relaxed when it comes to porn. There's still a thriving porn industry in the UK, after all. What the board does frown upon, though, is anything that's physically harmful or injurious.

Take, for example, spanking. That hasn't been banned. It's still allowed, as long as it's not seen to be causing harm. The same goes for caning, whipping, strangulation and all of the other sex acts outlined above.

16. Working for the certification board must be an, err,

interesting job. Some unlucky yob of a lawyer had to sit down and write all this. Poor sod.

[TexasMommaWithAHat]

17. Ahhhh - The human version of "No animals have been harmed in the making of this movie"

Is that it?

[JI7]

20. yes, it's something they already have with dvds but now it covers paid for online porn also

[LittleBlue]

18. Female ejaculation is harmful?

If they are only concerned with "harm", why ban female ejaculation? What happened was that the prudes tried to do this quietly, got caught, realized they are taking heat for this, and are now scrambling for cover. "This isn't as bad as it appears, really!"

[JI7]

19. they didn't ban it, as i said, the article in the OP is misleading

[LittleBlue]

24. Strange, then, that every other news source contradicts that one

25. click bait

[Nye Bevan]

21. Can cause a slippery floor hazard?

[tritsofme]

32. Some might call it a slippery slope?

[madinmaryland]

26. Damn! What is this world cumming to!!

[CBGLuthier]

27. Jeez, What's Left?

and exactly what the fuck is wrong with female ejaculation? It is a beautiful thing.

[Prophet 451]

28. Thank goodness it doesn't affect written works

I'd have to remove my kinky lesbians series and that's one of my best sellers.

[LongTomH]

29. "Feminist-centric dominatrix porn?"

Itziar Bilbao Urrutia, who performs feminist-centric dominatrix porn as Ms Tytania—one clip involves "men being forced to recite radical feminist writing from the 1960s," Vice writes—called the new rules "absurd and surreal":

[True Blue Door]

41. Sounds like an intcredibly boring dominatrix.

[Brigid]

33. Odd. I no desire to consume porn . . .

But I have no trouble avoiding it without help. In other words, don't like it? Just stay away from it.

[joeglow3]

35. Face sitting is bad?

[AndreaCG]

37. Brits iz weird

When I spent a semester there in1980 I nearly fell out of my chair when I heard the word "cunt" on TV. But "face sitting" isn't allowed in adult films? Okaaayyyy...

[LeftyMom]

39. If I can be forgiven for misquoting the denizens of Sesame Street:

Two of these things are not like the others,
Two of these things just doesn't belong,
Can you tell which things are not like the others
By the time I finish my song?

[Derek V]

43. SPANKING?????

That is the quintessence of Britporn!

[Warren DeMontague]

45. Wholesome activities like face sitting?

Geezus, might as well ban Mom's apple pie, while you're at it.

[PaulBrown]

46. ridiculous

Did the majority of the UK ministers turn to islam or something? I could see a law like this happen in those arab countries, but in the UK? This just sounds like total sexism.

And are they going to take action on sites like youporn, http://theporndude.com/, fetishtube,…? Or are only men/women making money with it being victimized and not the sites that use their content unlicensed?

I don't see anything blocked yet, but it will be interesting to see, if they'll get a 'piratebay' treatment too. No more free porn for men in the UK? Let's see how long that's going to last

Is it actually still worth it to shoot porn these days? I would think that nobody buys it anymore.
