Where would fucking a pig's head fall?

 

[Pankratous]

Not that I agree with the banning of it, but there are studies showing that the proliferation of (more extreme) porn, and the ease of it's access has lead to problems with young people and their perception of what is a healthy sexual relationship.

That is a problem which, in my opinion, would also be fixed if we stopped molly coddling children and introduced them to sex education earlier and spoke to them about it and didn't hide it away in the cupboard. Instead most kids learn 90% of sexual knowledge from Porn and another 9% from stories from their mates.

Banning stuff ain't the resolution to this problem.

 

[danowat]

And thats probably due to lack of education and discussion of such things being seen as taboo.

I think it's more down to more extreme acts and the expectation that brings for young males, I am the father of a 19 year old daughter, so I can sorta understand the point.

 

[DontBeThatGuy]

Conservatives should really get out of everyone's lives.

 

[Psychotext]

Is it really sexist if they are banning male piss videos too? I mean they are really the same thing.

I still remember that thread. Good times.

It's cool if you're into urine play, but the reactions were hilarious.

VHS to DVD - powered by the porn industry
HD-DVD fail - Blu ray prevail - powered by the porn industry

Conservatives block porn - Labour win next election - powered by the porn industry

 

[ghostjoke]

They really need to start their own JOI series, they're clearly obsessed with it.

First you did brexit and now this. I got the message uk, you don't want me to stay.

Yea it's kinda true.

Although I think just having the good ol' talk with parents might help to alleviate those misconceptions, of course it would require an update to the "birds and the bees" talk.,

"You see son, when a man and and 5 of his friends finds a girl attractive and the girl herself is consenting, they perform a bukake....."

[ReplacementPelican]

You remember that stereotype where England have a massive stick up their ass?

That's funny, I've always heard people joke that its Americans who are incredibly sexually repressed. Don't a lot of American schools even freak out about sex education? Only religious schools in the UK are obtuse to this but they still have to do a minimum and I've never heard of anyone being taught abstinence.

Anyway, this bill is a bunch of bullshit but its what you get when people just vote for the Conservatives because it's 'what we do' or because of stupid ideas of nationalism or 'usually I'm not a Tory but we need to do something about this here economy!'

I mean, between the UK and the USA its hard to be positive about much news these days.

So the government has fucked me so much I now can't even fuck myself.

I left a few of those behind for future generations.

 

[Pezking]

When I read stuff like this as a German, I suddenly wonder if the Brexit isn't so bad after all. I don't need such tendencies in my EU.

And I'm glad that the CDU under Merkel isn't such a batshit insane cesspool of conservative hardliners.

 

[Jezbollah]

I guess it's time to start looking for rag mags in the bushes behind the church.

That was my exact thought.

 

[Disagree Guy]

Just had another read of the article.

I think standard stuff will still be available. I also think privately made stuff would be allowed like amateur stuff.

Also - it would NOT be a criminal offence to view things blocked by the BBFC - only for the websites streaming them etc...

So once a work-around is discovered it's fair game

 

[Rimon-hanit]

Care to elaborate

I think I can put forward a good argument against pornography, but given the apparent different view I have on the issue compared to the majority of GAF, doing so would be time consuming.

So no, I will say however I see little value and no justification for porn.

 

[Dalibor68]

Looking at the rise of numbers of people that have porn-induced illnesses, it's probably for the best.

 

[Kareha]

As long as I can ask my ISP to turn off the filter for me like I had to do for my 4G phone connection thats fine, but it's still really fucking shitty.

 

[JoeNut]

I just don't see this happening to be honest

I already had to do this with my ISP months ago.

Please elaborate.

Earth is really fucking disappointing right now. Everybody fucking up...

Why should the majority have to suffer due to the problems of a few though?

 

[FortuneFaded]

You're not single, are you?

 

[Audioboxer]

I think such a claim would be best backed up with a "show the receipts". Also examine said receipts to make sure terrible sex education isn't playing a part in that.

Anecdotal "parents are saying the teenagers are out of control" are not receipts.

Also while I posted this on the first page, I'll post it again. Those with a bee in their bonnet about porn and teenagers would be best to watch this

Jail time. Someone got jailed for fucking a dog in the uk few days ago. Most surprise it is a woman.

Last time they were trying to ban face sitting

 

[Mr. Giggles]

Thinking ahead. You have the right idea.

Although I will say young people have it way too easy these days, go to any search engine, type in keywords and you're on your way to fappsville.. Back in my day we had to hunt for it, and when you were lucky enough to find it you didn't have the luxury of choosing - you fapped to what you were given, animals, hentai, bush/no bush it didn't matter

 

[Lkr]

Interested to here this argument lol. Should I just not jerk off at all or just do it without porn?

Protip - pick up the daily sport - put it inside a reputable tabloid (

Buy it with no embarrassment

 

[Romez]

This is not going to happen.

 

[Kareha]

Wonder if we'll see the return of tatty old porn mags in hedgerows, those were the days.

 

[Ravensmash]

No one cares so this will go through without issue.

The general population are so apathetic that they wouldn't dare protest about censorship in the guise of porn.

 

[DavidDesu]

You know what you must do.

As a Scot yes. For too long we're all sat up here looking at what the toffs in London are up to and seeing it affect us. Would be nice to be a small independent outward looking nation that can look on and comment and know this batshit crazy shit isn't actually the law in our land... One day.

 

[PJV3]

This is not going to happen.

Seeing all the greyed out categories is just going to spark curiosity and people will get around it anyway.


So it might happen but it will only stop the light Wanker.

More like too embrassment to protest.
Daily Mail would love it, photo of protesters with headline "perverts"

Scotland pushing through another referendum on the back of wanting to watch porn would be the most hilarious thing a country has ever done IMO

I fully support that notion

I hope at the very least the party states where they stand on this. It can really best be summed up from this quote from the OP article

Even some who back age verification questioned such strict censorship. “It’s mad that we regulate such material that aren’t even criminal acts,” said Prof Clare McGlynn, an expert on pornography laws at Durham University and co-founder of the Centre for Gender Equal Media.

“If we are regulating things like menstrual blood or urination, that’s detracting from a focus on what I think is really the harmful material, and that would be material around child sexual abuse, but also around sexual violence,” she added.

It plays into the Internet spying bill the Government recently voted in favour of. They basically want control over your life and what you do in your own home. At least the SNP voted against that.

 

[HazySaiyan]

So I'm gonna have to use a VPN just to get my freak on? FFS.

Joking aside this is a blatant and appalling attack on freedom of speech, and a very worrying trend. Not really surprising coming from Dear Leader Theresa May.

Man, what is going on in the UK?
