Porn Censorship: Coming Soon To A Continent Near You

BRITAIN BANS “FETISH” PORN … BUT NOT FOR THE REASONS YOU MIGHT IMAGINE

By FITSNEWS || The United Kingdom has imposed sweeping new regulations on internet pornography – banning a host of fetishes in what appears to be an effort to wipe out an entire segment of its adult entertainment industry.

The 2014 “Audiovisual Media Services Regulations” – which went into effect this week – are purportedly intended to safeguard the public from deviant content that could conceivably “impair” children.  In reality, though, the whole thing appears to be an effort to shut down small-to-medium sized content providers in an effort to secure additional market share for larger studios that produce little specialized content.

“While mainstream porn will be peddled without fear by the large studios – often owned by the same media moguls who denounce the ‘sexualisation’ of our culture – more niche, less clichéd sexual interests will disappear,” one industry expert told Vice.  “It’s the corporate shopping chain crushing independent shops on the high street by piling it high and marketing it to the dumbest common denominator.”

Either way, it’s censorship …

According to Vice, these are the “acts that are no longer acceptable …”

… spanking, caning and whipping beyond a gentle level; penetration by any object “associated with violence”; activities that can be classed as “life-endangering”, such as strangulation and facesitting; fisting, if all knuckles are inserted; physical or verbal abuse, even if consensual; the portrayal of non-consensual sex; urination in various sexual contexts; and female ejaculation.

Ummm … hmmm.

“It’s a strange, highly-subjective list of sexual behavior deemed too deviant for folks to be exposed to,” Elizabeth Nolan Brown over at Reason noted.

We concur …

Seriously … how is female ejaculation banned yet male ejaculation is still permitted?  Wait … that’s something every woman has asked themselves at least once in their lives, isn’t it?

All kidding aside, whatever the motivation behind these new regulations is … they’re ridiculous (even if they only apply to pornographic content produced in the United Kingdom, not other countries).

Don’t get us wrong: There is bad porn out there.  For example the production, marketing or sale of any sort of child pornography – or pornography depicting any non-consensual sex act (or a sex act committed against an animal) – should be criminalized.  Why?  Because by definition, non-consensual sex is a violation of one’s individual liberty.

Which is why this website has praised efforts by local authorities to crack down on such filth …

But the performance of consensual sex acts by consenting adults – no matter how bizarre some people may view them – should never be criminalized.  Nor should people’s ability to make a living off of producing, marketing or selling such acts on film – especially when the intention behind such regulations is to provide an unfair market advantage to a larger competitor.

Sadly, we suspect Britain’s ban could soon become a model for porn censorship here in the United States …

In questionnaire surveys, 35–50% of women report that they have at some time experienced the gushing of fluid during orgasm.Other studies find anywhere from 10–69%, depending on the definitions and methods used. For instance Kratochvíl (1994) surveyed 200 women and found that 6% reported ejaculating, an additional 13% had some experience and about 60% reported release of fluid without actual gushing. Reports on the volume of fluid expelled vary considerably starting from amounts that would be imperceptible to a woman, to mean values of 1–5 ml.

The suggestion that women can expel fluid from their genital area as part of sexual arousal has been described by women’s health writer Rebecca Chalker as “one of the most hotly debated questions in modern sexology.” Female ejaculation has been discussed in anatomical, medical, and biological literature throughout recorded history. The dichotomy between the interest devoted to female ejaculation and the basic acceptance of its male counterpart has been questioned by feminist writers.

To date, there have been no conclusive or major studies relating to female ejaculation. The largest study being an internet survey consisting of 320 participants. Much of the problem in arriving at a consensus relates to a failure to adopt generally agreed-on definitions or research methodology. Research has used highly selected individuals, case studies, or very small numbers of subjects, making generalization difficult.

For instance, much of the research into the nature of the fluid focuses on determining whether it is or contains urine. There are also problems involved in the collection of specimens and issues of contamination. Since the area of interest is para-urethral glands, it is impossible to completely separate the secretions from urine, especially considering that there may be retrograde ejaculation into the urethra towards the bladder.

The best current data comes from studies where women have abstained from coitus, and where their own urine is used as a control both pre- and post-orgasm. Research has attempted to use chemicals that are excreted in the urine so that any urinary contamination can be detected.

Further methodological issues include the fact that the composition of the fluid appears to vary with the menstrual cycle, and that the biochemical profile of the para-urethral tissues varies with age. Other issues relate to the sensitivity and specificity of the markers chosen. The key questions are the source of the fluid produced, and its composition.

Some aspects of the research community distinguish between female ejaculation and what is colloquially known as squirting or gushing. These terms are used by the public interchangeably, which can lead to confusion. In these research publications, it is suggested that “real” female ejaculation is the release of a very scanty, thick, and whitish fluid from the female prostate, while the “squirting” or “gushing” (shown frequently in pornography) is a different phenomenon; the expulsion of clear and abundant fluid, which has been shown to be a diluted fluid from the urinary bladder. It is suggested that much of the obscurity and the uncertainties about female ejaculation are related to mixing up these two phenomena.

In the United Kingdom, the British Board of Film Classification has banned films alleged to show female ejaculation, claiming that the expert medical advice it received was that there is no such thing as female ejaculation, and therefore the films deemed to show urine.

Easy on the Eye Productions released a press announcement on October 6, 2010 stating that the BBFC passed the DVD Women Love Porn (containing a scene including female ejaculation in the scene “Top Milf”) on advice of legal counsel when the director, Anna Span, pushed for a hearing with the Video Appeals Committee.

The BBFC maintains that it does not accept the existence of female ejaculation and its “position remains fundamentally unchanged for future releases”. Easy on the Eye Productions considers it a “historic victory”.According to the Carnal Nation site, the issue was first raised by the group Feminists Against Censorship (FAC) in 2001.

I have this ability to look at a subject as if I were a member of an audience watching a movie.. and rather than merely passively viewing the movie, and letting the ideas drift through my head and disappear, I can “listen” and “hear” what I’m thinking.. and that’s like, you know, figuring out the plot before it happens.

Well, after “watching the movie,” I have a bunch of mental notes about how deep the movie was, and how easy it is to miss the more subtle aspects of it… as though it was created for no other purpose than to communicate those subtle ideas though film.

So, rather than depending on my own dearth of imagination and insipid, pedestrian, boring perspective on everything, I have this genius screenplay/director’s imagination to draw upon.

In my mind, I still blame Berg.

Walking by the watermelon patch, the three of us… Bez, Food Fetish and I, getting slowly drunk in the moonlight… Food Fetish leading the charge by about a quart of shine… Bez and I cleverly began to go on about the days when we used to get drunk and smooth out a hole in a big melon, and slip into it and talk to it – by the names of our high school sweethearts… we had such a time, laughing and carrying on about “those days,” Food Fetish, staggering along, laughed even louder…

until finally, he wandered into the patch and cut himself a notch… howling out his wife’s name into the cool spring night air.

Bez and I left him there.. and the next day, at a chance meeting the sheepish look on Food Fetish’s face and ours, rivaled the humors of the gods.

euwe max December 2, 2014 at 7:28 pm

on 3 March 1957 during a battle in Cyprus between members of the EOKA organization and the British Army. After someone had betrayed his location, the British forces surrounded the secret hideout of the second-in-command of EOKA,Grigoris Afxentiou, near the Machairas Monastery. Inside the hideout were Afxentiou and four of his followers. Realizing he was outnumbered, Afxentiou ordered them to surrender themselves whilst he barricaded himself for a fight to the death. The British asked Afxentiou to come out and surrender. He replied with the phrase Molon labia, imitating the ancient Spartan Condoms. Unable to get him out, and after sustaining casualties, the British set fire to the hideout, and he was burnt alive. The British buried his body in the yard of the central jail of Leftkoastia, where it lies today.

I’m familiar with some of those stories, and have met a few of the participants when I lived there. The British military guys were ass-kickers and worse, but enjoyable company. They easily admitted burning the Greeks who wouldn’t come out of their hidey-holes, and showed me where some of them were.

When I go to take a shit or piss, I look.. been doing that since I was old enough to walk.. but it never turned me on. If I bear any scars from my childhood from piss, it would be from gas-station restrooms.

I didn’t need a priest or a politician to tell me that piss and shit isn’t sexy – I figured that out all by myself..and just look how well *I* turned out!

I guess the British decided the reason so many of them are so fucked up is because they got hold of the “wrong” kind of porn.

The guys that want to ban it must suspect that it’s pretty arousing, otherwise, why would they want to glamorize it?
