I'm almost two decades past the issue now, but I'm still somewhat curious. I noticed on the usual opening screens of some movie recently that it said it was intended for a "select viewing audience, namely adults over 21." Is anyone actually trying to keep porn away from 20-year-olds, government or otherwise?

It definitely seems like bullshit to tell a 19- or 20-year-old that he or she shouldn't watch porn that features 18-year-olds. Is a minimum of 21 really anyone's standard these days? Just wondering.

I could see the point of requiring the performers to be 21. But the viewers? Silly.

Where I live you can get a pilot's licence at 15, a driving licence at 16, you can fuck at 17, but you must wait until you are 18 before you look at a porn video.

The law is an ass.

Where i live the age of consent is 16. I understand you have to be 18 to star in adult films.

If you made a home video of you having sex with a girl this age would you be breaking the law??

When does it become a porn film? When it's commercially available?

Yes, if two seventeen-year-olds made a tape of themselves having sex, yes, they would be breaking the law. The news sites often feature these sort of stories. I run across them quite frequently just reading Fark.

Making a sex video has nothing to do with commercial availability. It has to do with the act of film/recording the sex (depiction of sex). Whether you sell it or distribute it for free is irrelevant.

The age for being in porn was 16 but the BBFC wouldn't give have given it a cerificate. So you could be in a porn film but you couldn't watch it.
Now since May, the age is 18, so having sex with a 16/17 yr old and filming it would be illegal and you would be in posession of child porn, even though you could marry her and raise a family. However i think there is some allowances if she is your wife.

So you can have sex with a 16/17 year old and be ok....but if you possess a porn video with a 16/17 year old you are a paedophile?

Yep. Thats what happens when you put a blind man in charge of making the laws.

dumb. i think they should lower the legal age of watching porn to age 14 or 15. thats when all the kids get porn illegally anyway, why not make it legal and get a lot of customers?? Lower ages = more money, quicker

People kill and no law will ever change that. Why not make it legal, contract killings regulated, and tax it?
Kids smoke, take drugs, and drink. Sell it all at the lunch counter.

I found my first porn magazine when I was 11 and loved it. When I was 13 I finally found a girl who let me fuck her. She was the same age. I think this is a normal age. This is when the body develops (pubic hair, tits) and when a person is ready for sex.

We live in a sick society where it is totally O.K. to show killing in features and news all day long, but you cannot show how people have fun.

I can agree, but its medicaly proved that showing raw sexual acts (like porn) in very minor age can affect their growing.

I am no minor, but I dare say that porn still affects my growing almost on a daily basis.

yeah, it effects the growing of my cock, hahahahaha

but drugs and booze hurt kids. porno doesnt hurt kids. so give 'em pornos so they can have fun.

i remember when i was 12 looking at porn all the time. i used to sneak on the internet and have fun typing "naughty" words and seeing what i could find. i poped many a boner looking at these paysites and determined that someday i was gonna fill my house with porn. hey, i have a bookshelf dedicated to it now!!!

I find it really stupid that in Britain i could be 16/17 and live with a wife and kids, go to work, pay tax, but still would not be allowed sex toys or porn to enjoy with my wife in our home.
