A link to the article in The Independent which explains more.

The newspaper claims that the "measures seem to take aim at female pleasure" and that they're "arbitrary" choices to make....I'm not sure what part of the list other than female ejaculation is synonymous with female pleasure though!

The writer is scathing about the bans.

Although veiwers in the UK will be able to continue to watch pornography including the above, it will no longer be legal to make such films here.

How did this law ever pass? Female ejaculation is forbidden, but male ejaculation is still allowed. Sounds like sexism to me.

And how will this law take action towards free sites like slavetube, theporndude.com, kinkygirls,…? Or are only professional content shooters in the UK being affected and not sites who only stream this now 'forbidden' content?

I just did a quick test and all of the free sites are still working like usual? Is the gov going to block them like 'warez' sites or do nothing? Doesn’t sound fair, if you make your living with porn.

How much % of the population is still buying porn anyway?

Welcome to MumsNet PaulBrown. Are there any aspects of feminism that interest you other than as it relates to your ability to watch porn?
