big brother is watching you masturbate

To understand why the quote that I'm going to post is funny, one must know about the extreme pornography law that was just brought into effect today in England. The law essentially criminalises the possession of "extreme" pornographic images which might include: any kind of S&M that the courts can construe as "extreme", probably needle play and ( Read more... )

Oh My.
I love this law!
We should enact such a law in the states.
*yikes* (just think about the number of people who will go through the courts...haha)

I know, right???I'm sure the shit's going to start hitting the fan perty soon with this one. Can you even imagine being arrested for having porn on your computer? Produced with the involvement of consenting adults? Being persecuted for a victimless crime ( ... )

Well...
the problem always rises due to a few "exceptional" cases. Many of us are disciplined, but some are not. Because of a lack of self-control, a few group of people actually commit crimes because they were stimulated by watching some explicit content.

The prosecutors will likely to argue that "watching violent porn" makes one "violent." The same argument goes with video games. I don't think one can become "violent" by playing "violent games."

Nonetheless, it is just somewhat sad that the rights of some British are being penalized with such a ludicrous law.

Anyway... I love "studying" porn as well, and I don't think I ever objectified anyone in any form of.... "anything." Haha :)

"a person performing an act of intercourse or oral sex with an animal...the people and the animals portrayed must appear to a reasonable person to be real"

i feel like maybe PETA may have been involved in this one. on the other hand, i always wonder about the people that make up these laws. they surely seem to know a lot about this stuff..

ok there are so many things wrong with this wording that i may as well quote the whole article...

besides, my main question is, has it ever been a problem that people who do not want to look at this type of imagery are ever forced to? i don't see how this is a problem for anyone, and when will people stop thinking that legislative action has any correlation with actual behavior? it's not like porn is necessarily legal in a very welcoming way, so why should this specific subset be singled out?
