Repeal new UK anti-porn legislation
Responsible department: Department for Culture, Media and Sport
The Audiovisual Media Services Regulations 2014 came into force on
December 1st, restricting UK production of online
pornography which depicts spanking, caning, facesitting, female
ejaculation, fisting, bondage, and other acts legal to
perform between consenting adults. We want this legislation repealed.
The list of banned activities is transparently sexist: depictions of
irrumatio (forceful fellatio) are explicitly
permitted, but facesitting (even fully clothed) is banned. Similarly,
male ejaculation on a partner is explicitly
permitted, but female ejaculation on a partner is banned.
In addition, these restrictions will cripple small independent UK
businesses producing niche pornographic content, while
favouring large companies producing mainstream content. They will also
benefit foreign companies producing content which
is now illegal to produce in the UK, but still legal for UK customers
to purchase and view online.
