Link to full article 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. "There appear to be no rational explanations for most of the R18 rules," Jerry Barnett of the anti-censorship group Sex and Censorship told Vice UK. "They're simply a set of moral judgements designed by people who have struggled endlessly to stop the British people from watching pornography." More worryingly, the amendment seems to take issue with acts from which women more traditionally derive pleasure than men. "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." n 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."
Going by that GGG i would say British porn is dead,i wonder if a few British stars will head over to the USA. Edited by - stinkfist on 12/2/2014 1:09:13 PM
Actually squirting is logical it is related with urolagnia as most "squirting" scenes are actually pissing scenes. But "verbal abuse"? Are you kidding? This is as normal as missionary "take this dick dirty slut", or "I'm going to shag you like the whore you are! "Does your daddy (husband, man) knows how slutty you are? What a whore , you're sucking me dry. Or treat me like a whore I'm such a slag.(they're British after all) remember in a porn movie even a woman referring to herself is still a scripted line or assumed as such , so it's considered still masked verbal abuse Edited by - LCF on 12/2/2014 2:32:48 PM
uk porn is fucked !! theres no porn of good quality over there , the pay is extremely poor . They have weak studs . Most of the girls are escorting , webcamming , solo shoots or stripping . soon everyone will close down the business . porn in spain actually brings millions to the economy and uk doesnt want that money .
^ As far as I know, pay sites are definitely affected. A fb post by Petra Joy today indicated that she couldn't put a recent scene with Jiz Lee up on her site. For those interested, if you have access, you can read a recent (July 2014) academic article about VOD porn regulation in the UK: The Regulation of Pornography on Video-on-Demand in the United Kingdom.
^^ From the article: "Fans of British porn will be the most affected by the change. However, anyone wishing to access online videos featuring the sex acts banned today is still free to watch porn films from abroad featuring them. This legislation only affects UK paid-for VoD films."
It may be "logical" but also fucks over a lot of cam girls; my friend cams and literally cannot cum with squirting (or pissing, if that's what you call it). She has about 100 videos of her shows for sale; maybe 95 of them feature squirting. You could make a case (an entirely bullshit case) that stuff like whipping, caning, etc is "bad" because it encourages violence, etc. But what in the world does squirting encourage? It's clearly just in there because someone finds it "icky". Same goes for water sports and fisting ("life endangering" my ass. I hereby pledge 100 bucks to anyone who can show me someone died solely from the act of being fisted. Jesus). I know this is supposed to be just about porn produced in the UK, but I can virtually guarantee you that, just like how texas school book standards get adopted by the rest of the country, this will force camgirl sites to further water down their products. My friend is on chaturbate and they've gone from basically anything goes to banning fisting, banning non-sex toy object insertion (like a barbie doll, or a toy baseball bat, to any large sex toy that appears "too big", etc. If they banned squirting my friend would almost certainly stop camming; it seriously is nothing she can control. And I know several UK cammers who also squirt; jesus christ we are going backwards in time; this is so awful.
^ And just to add to the absurdity: "Myles Jackman, a UK-based obscenity lawyer, said urinating (known as watersports) will only be acceptable if not performed onto another person or consumed." So, pissing is fine, actually. Female ejaculation is presumably still banned, whether consumed or ejaculated onto someone. By this logic, female ejaculation will only be legal if it is faked as pissing. My head hurts...
^ Yep. The focus of much of the outrage is the biased and sexist nature of these rules. Likewise, a woman cannot ejaculate, but 300 men can ejaculate onto her.
I only meant that if they forbid urination there would be no logic in allowing it with another name, I'm not in any way supporting such censorship , whose only purpose is to shut down UK porn and when it's done it'll be easier to block any access to foreign sites who depict acts that aren't legally available in UK , basically they are shutting down pornography entirely , it's only a matter of time.
My guess , business as usual . lol . They will just tell their performers not to do things that are prohibited . like spanking , no squirt . female ejaculation extremely rare on killer . no dirty talks . killer its just about b/g . killergram is a very extremely expensive site . let me tell you i pay 40$ to watch cum team , doggy mission guys fuck the pretty british babes but im a bit dumb . If killergram was a site like legal porno , they would have to change the whole concept .
Any Brits here who can explain how this could happen? I mean, how does a Parliamentary government work, and who exactly passed these dumbshit restrictions?
"how does a parliamentary govt work" .Where are you from a9nostic?North Korea?[:p)] Its a ruse.The real reason this was done was to protect the impeccant and pristine mind of His Royal Higness Prince George Of Cambridge in his formative years.

Your british taxes at work!
That's the weirdest part, if I was a politician with an anti-porn agenda and wanted to censor pornographic media and shut down any criticism I'd use the "porn is misogynist/"won't someone think of the women" angle as has effectively been done in the videogame media(gamergate controversy). ________________________________________________ Please ID these girls from PlayboyTV's Foursome show Edited by - hoochimama on 12/3/2014 8:16:55 AM
How did this bullshit pass Brittish parliament? Did you UK folks sleep? Never thought that this could happen in a so called FREE country. I read alot of stuff about these new porn rules on all kind of websites from various papers. Why do they come up with this so late and didn't talk about these measures before? Now it's too late to do anything about it. Question: What I understand is that this rules apply for VOD services and dvd. Downloading this stuff is still allowed is it? For example. The Brittish Piss-site http://www.glimpse-it.com/ just re-opened on the 1st of december. This is download only. I can't imagine that the owner of the site didn't know of these new rules.

'Murica, Fuck yeah!!! I asked because I have no idea how it compares to a federal republic. For example, did the people vote for such an initiative, or did the members of parliament just decree it? I was actually thinking of taking the family to London next year. Think I'm going to have to reconsider, on general principle. Some of those distinctions are fucking stupid.
Some commenters here are acting like this is wholly unprecedented. The UK has a rich history of idiotic censorship, and this is the second absurd porn law that has passed in recent years. I grew up in the video nasty era, so to me this is just one more ridiculous UK censorship move. No less egregious, of course, but I'm not shocked. Edited by - Gore Gore Girl on 12/4/2014 6:56:56 AM
My fellow Americans; let's not pretend that the UK is the only "free" country with a "Puritan Problem". This was absolutely ridiculous. Also, LOCAL law enforcement of "obscenity" is still the Wild Wild West for police. There was a case in my area where a woman was filmed by her husband with multiple men and selling the videos. Many of the men she was with were black. The husband was acquitted. However, the woman who was being pleasured and empowered in her videos was put through hell and served jail time. This is a summary of the first part of the case. The re-conviction (?) sought was eventually granted, but she didn't have to go back to jail. In other words the tax payers paid thousands upon thousands of dollars to get an "I told you so" from the county. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Seeing the following acts receive a ban, I guess it's safe to say there won't be any good cuckold porn coming out of the UK... Physical or verbal abuse (regardless of if consensual) Female ejaculation Facesitting
America has it's problems also. I live in the South and there are certain DVDs I cannot get mailed to me simply because of my zip code. I'm not talking about illegal stuff, but some stuff like Milk Nymphos and the like, I simply cannot order the physical DVD. I get a message regarding local obscenity laws and am declined. Yet I can pay and download them. How fucked up is that? As usual, the South is about a hundred years behind the rest of the country.

Yeah well remember it was the South, namely Florida, that was the first state to actually convict and jail someone i.e. Max Hardcore for mailing obscene matter. They tried him in California twice before that and failed to convince the people there to find him guilty. http://gawker.com/5058836/sleazy-pornographer-is-unfortunately-a-first-amendment-martyr
Let's hope that some day, the various governments of the world will allow their assorted peoples to grow up and be confident enough to do away with the need to monitor and control their thoughts and ideas...

Romania seems to have switched from hyper-conservatism to near libertinism almost over night. I wonder how that happened and what we can do to replicate it here and elsewhere. Edited by - misspornUSA on 12/8/2014 10:07:36 PM

Like many girls, Tiffany wanted to be a teacher when she grew up. Tiffany used her income, from working in the adult industry, to obtain a college degree and a teaching certificate. She accomplished her goal and got a job teaching middle school kids. Someone recognized her face and used that recognition to destroy her dream. I hope whoever made the complaint against Tiffany and those censors in the British Parliament are judged one day, using the same measure. I hope Tiffany has found a new job. A teaching job. One where she won't be judged by her past.
WOW! I'd never get off over there. The one I really don't get is abusive language? Abusive Language. What constitutes abusive language? Has any of them had sex before?!
^ I really don't know, maybe they must call their wifes My Lady Wife instead of slut (during sex I mean) and something like " yes, my husband , intercourse me!.
Stick to the tradesmens entrance and Britain will be fine... Actually does anyone think that silent fucking is actually quite creepy,just looking into each others eyes you have got to say something even let out a Grrrrr anything really lol.

Stinkfist, you have to start a new UK Political Party called the Tea Baggers and you need to run for Parliament and act as head of the Party (get Irn Bru to sponsor you). Just think, if they outlaw this stuff, GGG videos will be around the corner. If you don't, you will have to leave the sexual oppression of your Motherland for Netherlands or Germany, for more sexual freedom.
It just strikes me as another "holier than thou" act by Cameron's Tory government. My wife almost spat out a sip of her Earl Grey when I read the banned sex acts out to her, and that is saying something! What concerns me most is that the anglophile Western democracies seem to be curbing our individual freedoms more and more, all in the name of the protection of its citizens. This is simply another piece in that jigsaw. The next revolution better come soon!
