Bbc report on porn this morning
Notifications OFF
Just read on the BBC news that online porn material showing choking is now illegal and will be a criminal offence and in the same category as Child sexual abuse. Why not just stop allowing companies to produce porn and it all be illegal to watch or view ? Its obviously to reduce attacks on woman etc but this material had been out there for years legally how on earth are they going to claw back all such material thats already been allowed for years and years . If its already on forums legally and people view it can only imagine how many arrests and charges this will bring. I think companies have to now ban said material from their sites. I'm glad they are making it more difficult for such material to be put out there I do believe it gives people a false sense of realisation of what a normal healthy sex life is and I welcome the ban but its not going to solve problems when its already been out there for years , what happens if people have legally downloaded such materials. Online is such a scary place
So far as I know it is already covered by the extreme porn laws anyway. Prosecutions for extreme porn only are very rare though.
Enforcement is already being done by Ofcom, but they only have power in the UK. To block companies from producing this material worldwide, would need an international agreement.

I think the problem with trying to prosecute this under the extreme pornography laws is that with the exception of images showing bestiality or necrophilia the wording of the legislation is too vague, it simply references an act likely to endanger life.
It could be argued that any pornography showing unprotected sex is illegal under the extreme pornography laws owing to the fact that unprotected sex has the potential to endanger life by transmitting fatal blood borne viruses.

Totally agree with you both
