Overturn Absurd UK Porn Censorship

The Issue

On Monday, the British Board of Film Classification (Previously Censorship) passed legislation which prohibits the production of porn depicting, among other things, FEMALE EJACULATION. 

The arbitrary (and sexist) prohibition of these acts does nothing but shame people for their non-'vanilla' sexual behaviour, regardless of consent.

A person's sexual agency and sexual liberation are vital to their liberation as a whole.

The full list of banned acts includes:

  • Spanking
  • Caning
  • Aggressive whipping
  • Penetration by any object “associated with violence”
  • Physical or verbal abuse (regardless of if consensual)
  • Urolagnia (known as “water sports”)
  • Female ejaculation
  • Strangulation
  • Facesitting
  • Fisting

While the list mostly comprises acts associated with BDSM, it also includes female ejaculation- but, strangely, not male ejaculation. The BBFC have not provided a reason for this.

British Board of Film Classification, please revoke this disgraceful piece of legislation.

If you think everyone should be free to practice safe, consensual sex in ANY form, please join me in overturning this absurd, arbitrary legislation by signing the petition.
