Pornography produced in the UK was quietly censored through an amendment to the 2003 Communications Act, and the measures appear to take aim at female pleasure.
The Audiovisual Media Services Regulations 2014 requires that video-on-demand (VoD) online porn now adhere to the same guidelines laid out for DVD sex shop-type porn by the British Board of Film Censors (BBFC).
The board's ruling on 'content that is not acceptable' effectively bans the following acts from being depicted by British pornography producers:
Spanking
Caning
Aggressive whipping
Penetration by any object "associated with violence"
Physical or verbal abuse (regardless of if consensual)
Urolagnia (known as "water sports")
Role-playing as non-adults
Physical restraint
Humiliation
Female ejaculation
Strangulation
Facesitting
Fisting
The final three listed fall under acts the BBFC views as potentially "life-endangering".
While we are all for safety what adults do sexually is really no ones business but there own and as long as the performers are willing it shouldn't be regulated except for safety. The change can also be very vague giving a lot of leeway as to what is or isn't dangerous. It also leaves one wondering how long before they regulate what goes on in the bedroom, hopefully it doesn't come to that.
