Just curious. Apparently pornography movies are illegal in some countries. Which countries have banned pornography?

I'm aware that in the UK you CAN'T own movies or import them if they contain bondage, animals, urination ON people, fisting, rape (even simulated) or anything underage.

I also heard that in Germany you can't mail order porn unless you are a business.

I realize porn is probably illegal in some middle eastern countries. Is porn really illegal in Indonesia? I'm pretty sure it is in Hong Kong. The hardcore variety. Is it the same in maybe South Korea?

I've traded with a friend in Italy and the stuff I sent him was seized. We stopped trading because of this and I'm guessing bukkake is not allowed there. Is that true? Nothing I sent was all that bad.

I've traded with people everywhere in the world and Italy seem to be the most strict. Maybe it was just a weird coincidence.

Any ideas?

Well, if you are going to call it pornography, then you would have to say that it is illegal everywhere, since that word indicates that it is against a particular community standards. The real question is, what level of adult entertainment is allowed in a certain jurisdiction.

Sure, put down the intelligent post.

In Indonesia, a regular Playboy will get you in trouble.

Are you perhaps confusing obscenity with pornography? Pornography, as I understand it, is not illegal in America; however, obscenity is indeed illegal, even though there is no court-recognized definiton of obscenity--instead, it determined by "community standards".

Now that the Internet and cell phones are so popular, I imagine that a defense attorney could argue that the "comminity" isn't just necessarily a geographical locale like counties in Utah, but rather is a much larger area.

When reading my above post, please keep in mind that I am not a lawyer, rather I'm just expressing my opinions and experience.

in the middle east I have had guys secretly show me cell phone pictures of women's bare faces.

Not that the other stuff isn't there, but to own it is punishable.

I'm not an attorney, but I do have a degree in Theatre Arts, which means nothing (except I learned some big words,) though I think I met you in San Diego (you spoke at the content seminar one year; the next year, I was the speaker.)

I've gotten in the habit of using pornography and obscenity interchangeably, and possibly erroneously (though never erogenously.) The problem arises when you use the court definition of artistic merit, which is often used as a 1st amendment defense; by calling it pornography, it is defined as entertainment for sexual stimulation, which may or may not be artistic (simply going on semantics.) Thank God the courts have not made us stick to our artistic guns, or all porn would be Eon McKai.

Porn is illegal in Thailand...not that that stops people selling bootleg porn dvds on the street stalls.

Prostitution is also illegal...rather ironic given the scale of the profession in the country.

You don't have to go that far away, just look at Alabama where it's illegal to own a dildo!

Regarding the UK, it is "can't", not "can"... and reading the posts on Scotland, people might be jailed in the future for possession of bondage movies. Time to sell mates...

Italy allows "bondage, animals, urination ON people, fisting".

From what was said on this forum, Ireland bans porn movies and Australia can crack down on it especially for people in the South.

Some softcore have appeared in China, but I have no idea if porn can be purchased legally.

I know it is illegal in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iran, Iraq, Saudi-Arabia, North Korea, and some other Islamist states
