What do you think of the plans for laws to ban "violent" porn?

Question

I personally can't decide, while I agree that images of real life rape should be banned and treated with the same penalties as images of child abuse and bestiality I aint sure I can agree with a law which would criminalise the activities of millions of people who engage in consensual sexual activities such as S&M, Bondage and sexual slavery who wish to see images of others doing this. I am drawn to the idea of thinking this is unnecessary legislation from the British government, anyone else got an opinion?

Answer 1

Amazing ! Surely we should be thinking First - about more stringent Laws for Sick Fiends like Gary Glitter .. instead of Harrassing consenting adults who like a bit of slap n' tickle ...

Answer 2

truthfully no longer! we are no longer a Christian u . s ., we are a Christian majority u . s . created from many different religions and non-non secular human beings. we are no longer a Christian u . s . in simple terms like we are no longer a girl u . s . or a white u . s .. Outlawing something that would not have conceivable to society is incorrect. How does porn make the international a risky place? Porn is healthful and organic, in certainty lots of the themes of the international may be pointed to sexual frustration. Outlawing porn might have comparable outcomes to outlawing alcohol with crime seeing a drastic enhance. What is going on interior the privateness of my residing house and would not effect every physique else should not be regulated by utilising the government in any way, it is what makes usa great and outlawing porn might reason a revolution. rattling you're stupid...

Answer 3

The decay of values throughout the world has dramatically increased with the growth of Internet porn. Bad enough perverts can find child porn and get excited. No need to foster more violence in this world. Once the boundaries of the home are crossed there is no entitlement to put the violent stuff on the Internet. Too many people are not mature enough to handle all the junk out there already. I am in favor of having more controls on the porn.

Answer 4

What struck me upon hearing about this new legislation that the UK govt is proposing is that it has all come off of the back of the tragic killing of Jane Longhurst who was murdered by someone who had an obsession with necrophilia websites (for those who dont know what necrophilia is, its basically getting your rocks off with dead people). Following this killing, the dead woman's mother started campaining to the govt for a ban on all websites that had violent pornographic content.

As yahoo news says...
'The new law would outlaw any material that featured violence that was, or appeared to be, life-threatening or likely to result in serious and disabling injury'

My point is, necrophilia can't possibly be hurting it's victim (they're dead afterall), so it just seems ironic to me that this legislation has come about on the back of this particular case.
Please don't take this opinion of mine as meaning that i condone necrophilia, i'm just raising a point!

I do however thoroughly support any legislation that would result in people thinking twice before making or seeking out any kind of images that involve people being sexually hurt/mutilated/abused/tortured without consent. Any images showing someone being killed for 'fun' or 'sport' or 'pleasure' are despicable.

Consensual S+M should obviously be left out of the equation, as many people enjoy a bit of rough slap and tickle as part of their normal sex lives. In this situation, the govt can stay firmly out of our bedrooms!

Answer 5

All governments use the idea that it is protecting it's people, but really it is about control. On this issue I could really care less. Only because I'm apposed to watching any porn myself. However, it's the basic rights that I have a problem with governments controlling. Really there shouldn't be a market for porn, but people are drawn to a false idea of what intimacy is. They have that right though. Nobody should take it from them, but maybe we should start teaching our children what real intimacy is so they don't have to learn from porn. Anyway that's off the subject though.

Answer 6

yea the British Psychological Society voiced itself against the idea that imitation of 'violent' acts are encouraged by viewing and cited research evidence in its support, as for viewing adults consenting to 'S & M' such acts firstly cannot by virtue of consent and 'sexual contracts be defined as violent.

In light of rape protection the idea is good but the definition of "violent" needs to be very clear, which at prsent it is not. Thr greater likelihood is that this change in law is much due to the negative view of the government that would have been presented by campaigners had the bill been rejected, much more politics than, evidence -based practice

Answer 7

Sure i have an opinion, how far, are you all going to let this banning stuff go, until you realise pictures dont hurt people... people hurt people.. guns dont hurt people.. people hurt people.. free speach is a right, not an option...
Who decides what is violent? Its just another law, to appease a bunch of women, and a sh1t load of people are going to go to jail. The sex offenders list is going to be bigger, than the voters list soon. At least that will stop them letting 16 year olds vote, because they are allready all little sexual deviant criminals.... i didnt do it.... the law did it... can you imagine, if underage sex, was included in crime statistics..... So why crimilise our kids? um fear, power, um early corruption, means more polititians

<- scream - scream - anguish - fume

people say theres only 2 things certain in life, death and taxes
well sh1t, hows about being born a criminal, and dying one, who can say they have managed to go their whole life, without breaking 1 law

Answer 8

You've got to appreciate that while you can differentiate between non-consensual and consensual sexual activities many cannot. What one does behind closed doors is their business but to broadcast it to others, normally for profit, has got to be wrong. There are many strange people out there whose life may be spent looking at these sites and sooner or later they may act on something they are being told is alright. Can that be right?

Answer 9

Porn in all forms should be banned, it will be the down fall of this country one day.
With all the things going on in the world (wars every were) why would you ask this question?
As for porn look what is happening to young girls getting on the Internet and answering these creepes and the next thing you know there trying to make dates with them, that's because they are sick people who enjoy porn!!!

Answer 10

As always, the diving line has been deliberately kept vague, so that the State can decide arbitrarily whom to arrest, and whom to let off.

A blue blood who makes a date rape movie where he gives girls drugged drinks and does the nasty on them while they're out cold might be let off because "date rape isn't violent," but some commoner making a BDSM home movie of himself and a willing and consenting adult could face jail because of the "violence" involved.

This is The State, sticking their nose in where it isn't wanted and where it really doesn't belong.

Answer 11

I generally agree as long as all child abuse is banned and all rape is banned. also that stiff fines exist for giving such porn to children. showing it to children is a form of child abuse and even visual raping of the child.
