Fetish porn producers in Britain are yelling “bloody hell!” this week after a new set of censorship laws aimed at BDSM internet porn. And the Brits who want to get their rocks off to some good old fashioned kinky BDSM aren’t happy about it either. That’s right, the UK prudes have just banned a variety of sex acts from porn videos made in the UK, most of which are BDSM related. As Frankie Mullin at Vice explains, “That means that British pornography producers will no longer be able to offer content online that couldn’t be bought in a sex shop.”
Basically, the censorship laws say that all streaming content must not contain anything that might corrupt the morals of impressionable, under 18 people—and to the people who passed these laws, that mostly means fetish, BDSM porn. Some of the specially restricted BDSM porn includes: caning, spanking, aggressive whipping, penetration by any object “associated with violence,” physical or verbal abuse, urolangia (i.e., “water sports”), strangulation, and, bizarrely, facesitting. The last one just seems excessively prudish, and sexist—they also banned female ejaculation and fisting. These new rules just seem like another way to censor perfectly consensual BDSM acts and further stigmatize a kinky niche sex market.
We say to British BDSM censorship: Bollocks to that! Want to exercise your freedom to be kinky with us? We love all things BDSM!
