AIBU to be horrified by the new Porn Law?

AIBU to be really disturbed by the new porn law? If anyone hasn't seen it, they've banned a whole load of relatively common sexual practices from being shown in porn filmed in the UK.

There's a really good list/explanation here:www.aftmagazine.com/learn/porn-laws-illegal-fantasy/

AIBU to think that there's nothing wrong with showing a bit of spanking in a porn film? I feel like the UK government should be focussing on improving public transport and fixing the economy, not trying to nose into what we're doing in our bedrooms?!

And what on earth is wrong with squirting? I notice there's no ban on sperm flying around the place!

I feel like this rather unfairly boosts the stereotype of us Brits being all sexually repressive. Maybe they'll end up banning boinking entirely! Although that'd admittedly save a lot of awkwardness and do away with having to change the sheets so often.

YABVU. The reason female ejaculation was banned was because it wasn't actually female ejaculation - it was Porn actresses being told to urinate. The films marketed as female ejaculation in the UK were marketed as Urine in other countries.

It is 100% right that no one, no matter what their job, should feel coerced into demeaning and degrading acts at work. This will go some way to helping people in the industry push back against humiliating and potentially dangerous scenes.

What's the point of this then?

Yanbu. I don't get the genral outrage at mainstream porn tbh.

Why is only female ejaculation baned? Sexist imo

Spanking's out? The fifty shades film is going to be pretty boring then, not that the book wasn't shite enough already.
