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

[BertRoot]

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.

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).

Seemingly arbitrarily deciding what is nice sex and what is not nice sex, the board has banned 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")
Female ejaculation
Strangulation
Facesitting
Fisting

The final three listed fall under acts the BBFC views as potentially "life-endangering".

While the measures won't stop people from watching whatever genre of porn they desire, as video shot abroad can still be viewed, they do impose severe restrictions on content created in the UK, and appear to make no distinction between consensual and non-consensual practices between adults.

"The new legislation is absurd and surreal," Itziar Bilbao Urrutia, a dominatrix who produces porn with a feminist theme added to Vice UK. "I mean, why ban facesitting? What's so dangerous about it? It's a harmless activity that most femdom performers, myself included, do fully dressed anyway. Its power is symbolic: woman on top, unattainable."
In a piece for The Independent, award-winning erotic film director Erika Lust said that she believes "we need to rethink what is offensive or dangerous and what is, in fact, normal human nature, and remember that it’s more important to educate than regulate."

The BBFC must be full of old gits who think women shouldn't enjoy sex!

I think they just realised 'Female Ejaculation' was just women pissing on Chaturbate to get more tokens.

So next time I see my GF squirt, I'll have to report it to the police?

How will this law affect porn tube sites like fuskator, http://theporndude.com/, motherless,…since they would be considered 'illegal' now or are we only talking about adult content studios who produce such videos?

I don’t see any of the big adult tubes blocked yet, but I would hate it to see a warning message like on thepiratebay.

And how are they actually still making money? Which crazy guy is still buying porn these days?

As you don't live in the uk it won't affect you

What a government job to be the inspector to verify if all new vids are in compliance
