Porn Protest at Old Palace yard 12th at 12 noon
Come and join the protest at old palace yard - see my f a c e b o o Charlotte Rose for more details and to keep updated of any changes and the world record we are going to achieve
Why is this important?
To meet at OLD PALACE YARD and protest against the new sexist laws - This is not supporting sexual equality and something needs to be done!
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's ruling on 'content that is not acceptable' (p.23) 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".

COMMENT: NEW LEGISLATION WILL TURN EROTIC FILM INTO BORING, UNREALISTIC MALE FANTASY
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.
