What is illegal to watch in the UK? The Simpsons?

[–] orenj@leminal.space 22 points 5 days ago (1 children)

The UK has banned asphyxiation porn.

Are they acting like an angry forum moderator trying to tidy up their porn sites so they can find their favourite porn more easily?

[–] yermaw@sh.itjust.works 5 points 5 days ago (1 children)

My guess is that somebody important did it when they were younger and needed some cash

[–] AnyOldName3@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago (2 children)

There's a genuine problem that needs dealing with that this is attempting to address in that lots of women and girls report that sexually inexperienced young men and teenage boys assume they want to be strangled during sex because they've learned it from porn, and choke them during sex without asking. Age gating porn hasn't stopped it, so this ban is the next step.

Because teaching about consent is too difficult?

[–] AnyOldName3@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

They already do and it clearly isn't working. Even if it does, the consent might be misunderstood - teenagers know they don't need to get consent separately for every single thrust once they've already got consent for sex, so if they're misinformed enough to believe strangulation is a default part of sex, too, they'll think that's been agreed to, too.

Maybe they should teach their kids to communicate in a relationship?

[–] AnyOldName3@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago

Some people are shit parents and often it's not even their fault that they're shit parents (e.g. their parents were shit, too, or socioeconomic factors) and they've got no way of knowing they're shit parents as they go along (e.g. their children don't have obvious signs of having shit parents when they're with them and they're better parents than most other people they know). People do need protecting from other people who had shit parents, and it makes sense for the state to do things to protect people from the shitness of their parents.

Banning things for everyone (including consenting adults) is certainly not the most technically feasible, effective or targeted solution, though. E.g. if I were the minister tasked with solving the problem, I'd make sure sex ed classes in school covered everything relevant (they already do, but not effectively enough that it sinks in, so maybe I'd commission a report into why), and legislate that porn sites couldn't promote potentially harmful fetish content without clearly labelling it as such. I'd also not necessarily focus so much on the effects on teenagers, as it's not like people magically become able to maturely deal with things they were totally unable to the day before when they turn eighteen, and there are risks if people don't learn moderation and are exposed to the full brunt of everything all at once. Porn blurs the line between fiction and reality because it contains real nudity etc. so it's understandable that people without any other frame of reference wouldn't intuit which bits were exaggerated.
