This collection of short films gets a limited cinema release this week, starting at Tate Modern: To quote the blurb, "Destricted brings together seven provocative films by leading artists, on the themes of sex and art." Having seen the films, I can say they're a real mixed bag with something to ...

Can't say for sure but tomorrow (Friday) they're discussing sexual exploitation, so it's a good bet that they'll be talking about pornography...

Kim, The R18 category is reserved for hardcore porn; there is no equivalent category for films containing extreme violence. Unfortunately, the idea of keeping anything related to sex firmly behind closed doors is rather engrained in British culture and the R18 category is a consequence of that ...

Kim, I'm afraid the law is really screwed up when it comes to images of sex and violence. The censors (the BBFC in this case) have an obligation to interpret and apply the law. In my view (since they were forced to allow hardcore content in R18s), the BBFC have moved on considerably and are now ...

Ok, the guy may well be a freeloading racist scumbag but he is a human, isn't he ? We all know what would (will ?) happen once the Yanks get hold of him. What sort of signal does that send out to the world ? It suggests to the world that we're all a bunch of hypocrites who "protect" human rights ...

While eating a roast pork dinner one evening, we came up with names for a porn couple:

"Bendy Crackling" and "Crispian Firm".

They do appear to be legit but, in common with everyone else, are confused about the legal status. Here's an extract from a posting made to the forum on : quote I'm reading about companies being challenged by trading standards for supplying R18 by mail-order, yet I have a license from a UK local ...

Firstly, if a channel says something like "we're going to show you hardcore" during their freeview to entice you to subscribe, then doesn't show you hardcore, I'd say you have a right ...

DavidS - I know exactly what you mean. I believe that the "explicit porn harms children" argument is used because it's impossible to refute. The argument that "explicit porn harms adults" was thrown out during the BBFC High Court case in 2000, because there is no clear scientific evidence that it ...
