So on Monday, the new Audiovisual Media Regulations laws came into force, seemingly to protect children (despite the fact, that there is NO EVIDENCE that such content actually harms children).
And along with this, is a list of BDSM activities which are now BANNED in the UK porn industry:
Spanking
Caning
Whipping
Aggressive Whipping (and exactly what do they class as "aggressive whipping"?
Penetration by any object (associated with violence - apparently)
Water Sports
Female ejaculation
Fisting
Face sitting
Strangulation.
I should also point out that the consumption of male ejaculate is permitted, while the consumption of female ejaculate, isn't. And what happened to EQUALITY? Did some MP get pissed on instead of squirted on and confused the two perhaps?
Naturally; this means that those in the Femdom/Fetish industry are going to find life rather difficult. Instead of producing material which has now banned BDSM activities; we're now faced with having to produce material which is "nice and gentle". Sorry, but BDSM is NOT "nice and gentle". Flowers are "nice and gentle". Fairies are "nice and gentle" - Domination isn't!
So why have these laws been introduced? Well the official line is that it's to protect children, because such content could be harmful to them. In more simplistic terms; we are all sexual predators by default. All it takes if for us to view BDSM porn and suddenly, we'll have an overwhelming urge to harm children.....apparently.
But reading between the lines - these laws are designed to impose yet more control on us, and are a knee-jerk reaction to cover up the failings of an increasingly incompetent government.
It appears to Me that these laws have got nothing to do with "protecting children", but rather demonstrating a hatred against Women who choose to take part in the BDSM lifestyle. We women have clearly forgotten our place - to be seen and not heard. Our metaphorical bollocks have become aware - or so MPs would have you believe.
How long before we're forced to talk to our slaves in a "nice and gentle" way? "Slave, would you mind awfully getting on your knees for Me - if it's not too much trouble?"
And from the point of view of slaves who enjoy giving up power to another - when do they get a say in what they enjoy? Who wants to visit a Dominatrix who enjoys stroking kittens, rather than a whip, because the Government have told Her to?
The fact is, the more you censor these things, the more they will go underground. You cannot stop such activities simply by claiming the UK don't want to see them. By censoring such activities, people will get an extra kick out of doing them because it is forbidden. How about educating people in the difference between real abuse and safe, sane consensual play? Let's not forget; that Genuine Dommes take this very seriously - we are not about to put our slaves in danger - because we take our responsibilities seriously. (I'd have yet to find a slave who has died because he was "spanked".)
As far as I see it, there are only two reasons why these so called "laws" have been introduced:
1.) The Goverment have FAILED to protect real victims of abuse. Claims have been pushed under the carpet so as not to upset people. Prosecutions have not been brought and files have been "lost" - the Rotherham abuse scandal is a classic example of this - and is one of many throughout the country. The Government know they are equally to blame for this but are passing the buck - as always, whenever there is a scandal of a sexual nature - it's porn industry and the sex workers who are to blame. Let's not forget the Max Mosley case - which was branded a "sick Nazi orgy" when in fact it was a BDSM session at Mr Mosley's request and consent! But because Mr Mosley was in the public eye, the Dominatrices received more condemnation than him.
2.) We are clearly going back to a time when "sex" is a taboo - even if it's consensual. Kinky sex is definitely a taboo. Only nice "normal, gentle" sex is allowed. And women are expected to be submissive in this gentle sex. Sex isn't "taboo". It's not dirty - EVERYBODY does it - animals do it! (oh female preying mantis - your days are numbered love - the biting off of your partner's head will be outlawed soon as it "endangers life"!)
Who's more ridiculous in this? Me or the MPs who came up with these knee-jerk laws without doing any real research? You decide.
