Online pornography showing strangulation or suffocation is to be made illegal, as part of government plans to tackle violence against women and girls.
It follows a review which found depictions of choking were “rife” on mainstream porn sites and had helped normalise the act among young people.
Both the possession and publication of such material will be a criminal offence, under amendments to the Crime and Policing Bill currently going through Parliament.
To anyone celebrating this: you’re defending a fucking bad faith law!
Does any of the recent anti-LGBTQ+ laws are just to protect little Jimmy being a “little confused”, to protect him from “making life altering decisions”? Did any of the Nazi anti-Jewish laws were only made to stop predatory banking? Fuck no! And fuck you if you think we can just "undo it easily later on: no one wants to be the “pervert politician”, no one wants to be smeared by the opposition as “the real misogynist” or a “pervert being occupied with things other than the economy”, so no one will do it.
I don’t like choking in porn. The problem is a failure of both the lack of sexual education, and not holding platforms accountable for replatforming the likes of Andrew Tate, not some smut.
The way they define choking would also ban a lot of sucking scenes.
That’s the goal. First ban kink that are more extreme, but word the ban vague enough to be applicable to other things.
We call this kind of bad faith laws as “shotgun laws”, due to how reminiscent they’re to the operation of shotgun-type weapons from video games.
The porn industry is now in non-consenting bondage
I am… Rather older than most of you, in all probability. My partner likes being choked; not hard, not actually cutting off air or blood, but the sensation of hands or an arm around their throat. They also like being caned, and spanked; I’m into fairly serious rope bondage (as a rope top) and CNC.
Under British law, a large percentage of the sexual activities that we both enjoy together would be criminal offenses.
For what it’s worth, in the 1920s, oral sex was considered shocking to moral sensibilities, perverted, an affront against nature, and grotesquely obscene. I suspect that the view from the year 2100–should humanity survive that long–will see choking in much the same way.
I’ve never been choked, but I like to hold my breath right as I’m about to ejaculate (cause it makes the orgasm stronger for some reason), so I could absolutely see the appeal. So long as it’s consentual, I see no issue with choking on sex.
The US and UK are in a race to see who can out-Fash the other.
It sure seems like the puritans are in charge these days. And their using kids to ram through whatever the fuck they want. As long as no one is getting hurt, I dont really see what business it is of any government what consenting adults do in the privacy of their own homes. I mean, even if you were choking her out, as long as it was what she wanted, its really up to you two to take on the risks.
I dont understand it, but who cares? Im not in the room. Its nothing to do with me, or anyone else. I cant help but feel this is the beginning of something a bit more sinister. Maybe someday soon, blow jobs will be looked down upon again. Or far more likely, being gay will be looked down upon again. Cos thats where these weirdos always look to when they talk about things “corrupting the youth”. A bit of slap and tickle first, attack the LGBT crowd next under the guise of protecting the children/young people. “Youre not gay, youve just seen too many blowjobs, Timmy. Youll be alright after we send you to a re-education camp.”…
Won’t be any kids to protect soon as the raging inequality continues to rise and people become completely unable to afford them.
If the argument for the ban is that depiction normalizes it, then there should be a ban on violence in all media, right?
Ah….so this is why confused dog Tucker expressed his moral outrage at this activity, completely unprompted, to known Nazi Nick Fuentes who is on the record very recently and repeatedly over the years of his wasted youth as a hate mongering whelp and a self-loathing failson, stating that women should have all of their legal and human rights taken away.
If I didn’t know how exploitative the current porn industry is I’d defend the choking but holy shit producers are fucking vile.
I already don’t like that kind of shit, it’s an immediate turn-off for me.
But - I also know there’s a whole kink around it, and as long as it’s consensual…who tf cares?
I suppose I would file this one under massive sex education failure, if youths are having to learn about sex from porn there’s already a problem.
I’ll forward any I find to my local MP
The morality police in the UK strike again. They’re slowly turning into Saudi Arabia the longer they keep this up.
In this thread: a lot of chocking
Chock full of it!
i feel like i am fine with them making rules about like published porn like this in principle
I think the part where it says the possesion is illegal much more concerning. Like so if you film this in private for yourself, it would be a crime? Laws should only restrict what you can do privately, if it is absolutly necessary. To do what you want in private, is what freedom truly means. Everything else is tyranny.
So men don’t get choked? Why are these things always gender specific?
They do. Watch most pegging, or “Trans fucks guy” videos, and the dude will be turning fucking beetroot while getting pounded hard.
I like to get a little choked every now and then, during. Am I illegal?
Yes I recommend you handcuff yourself immediately, maybe tie yourself up a bit, you’ve been pretty naughty
Hhhhh okay Mami, I mean yes officer.
It’s less prevalent, but this content definitely exists too.
Maybe Timber is not as popular in the UK political scene.
While im not cool with making playacting illegal I would be very happy for it to not be so fucking common in the vids. Can we stop with the little slaps to. I think the problem with a lot of kinks that don’t completely drive the person away. Am I still gonna watch the porn. Well yeah, probably, but I would prefer it without it. Whats funny is seeing the same porn videos with differen titles. various incest scenarios and then something else.
Am I still gonna watch the porn. Well yeah, probably
You’re the problem then, stop giving those videos views.
You can’t interrupt your vinegar strokes.
Well yeah. I said the play acting was not enough to turn people away. Well especially since you don’t know till liek half way through.
