\"Sex<\/a>You may already be aware that Britain is about to pass a law which outlaws the possession of “extreme pornography” (details here<\/a>.) The law is based on moral hysteria and very bad science and is being shuffled through parliament in a much larger bill full of other issues such as privacy and immigration. Interestingly, the British press has done more reporting on a clause about data loss than it has about this particular infringement on personal freedom.<\/p>\n

Red Pepper, a British political site, has two great opinion pieces today opposing the new law. The first, called Porn Can Be Good For You<\/a>, makes a general argument in favour of porn which I found quite readable, even though it makes a few unfortunate assumptions about how many women are “forced” to work in porn.<\/p>\n

The other, An Extreme Insult<\/a>, is well worth reading. It’s by a woman who stridently defends her kinky lifestyle and her right to watch kinky porn.<\/p>\n

Some women like rough, kinky sex. They like doing it, thinking about it and looking at pictures of it. <\/p>\n

Now, as controversial revelations go, the above ought to be up there with \u2018some women like fish and chips.\u2019 Unfortunately, it isn\u2019t. To the British government, among others, the idea of women having varied sexual tastes rather than being an undifferentiated mass of sexual victims seems so inconceivable that they are enshrining their denial in law.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Pic is from Sex and Submission<\/a>, one of the consensual BDSM sites that would be essentially banned in Britain because of this bill. That site features female submission, and some of the pics can be confronting if BDSM isn’t your kind of thing. Interestingly, nobody seems all that concerned about male submission sites like Men In Pain<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
