Britain is Banning BDSM

Filed under: BDSM — admin @ 11:49 am

A new law puts a ban on producing, publishing & posessing BDSM/extreme material in the UK.Sadly it does apply to annyone in the UK producing, publishing or even just posessing “violent sexual” material. There will be testcases of course to determine where the line is - but reading the law, its much more than just “consent”, as acts that lookFor instance from the law:
By actual scenes or depictions which appear to be real acts, we intend to catch material which either is genuinely violent or conveys a realistic impression of fear, violence and harm.
So, if it just looks like violence, consensual or not, its forbidden. This will be devastating to BDSM people & related niches surely…and the penalties are severe: 3years in prison for possession, 5years for producing.I suppose it´d be wise for me to stop shooting in the UK :(
