Harder softcore

[bigboy]

yeah that is the strongest yet on uk tv, did they play the wrong tape? it was like the r18 version? lovely.

[Pianaman]

Yes indeed - I take it all back. What came next was a 3 girl romp with plenty of penetration with toys.

Something has definately changed in the political climate - I don't believe for a second the powers that be don't know about this - they have given someone the wink that certain thigs can be "relaxed". About bloody time too.

[trapanicus]

No - this is the 5th night out of 6 that lots of penetration has been shown on TAC at the same time - only cucumbers and dildos until tonight though - and then tonight actual sexual intercourse - but again carefully put just in the opening credits then back to full on lesbian .. clever stuff.. I hope they make it stick - it's a well planned strategy...

I like the subtle approach. I wonder if they will stretch the output to 2, then 3 shows etc? I have heard no complaints on various forums, only positive vibes.

I realise TAC has the full Spice Platinum back catalogue to use, which is hard core versions of entire series, plus stuff never seen on UK before.

Bring it on!

I do hope this is not going to end in tears. If full R18 content is now being broadcast then I doubt if Ofcom will be best pleased as it's clearly against the rules (and yes I know the rules are nonsense but they are the rules).

Hopefully Ofcom will understand what's going on during this transitionary period and turn a blind eye (possible but I fear unlikely). Lets hope there are no complaints as a single complaint at this stage of the game could be catastrophic.

But congratulations to TAC for challenging the regulatory confusion that the ITC left behind in their wake. With any luck Ofcom rwill turn out to be the 'light touch regulator' that they say they are and will deal with this situation appropriately.

[Heathray]

What I fear is some do gooder Daily Mail or Mediawatch type decides to complain. You can buy hardcore magazines in most newsagents which show the same content as R18 but can't buy a video without going to a licensed shop? Er why?

As TAC seem to be risking it on behalf of the rest of the channels I say good luck to them, someone has to make a stand against our draconian censors.

I somehow managed to miss this thread until now. I don't have digital, just cable. Are you saying there is hardcore action on pay per view adult channels on digital?
Penetration just no cum shots?
If this gets excepted, what sort of figures could producers make from selling the video rights to broadcasters? Surely pay per view would become far popular, the old adult channels were so lame.

[trapanicus]

TAC has always pushed the limits - I've kept an eye on most the channels for four years - they've made tiny steps forward quite often - then when the same program is shown again later the same week, the good bits have vanished! - I remember a couple of good examples last year - "Nadia's Revenge" and "Ickey Sickey"... What ever they're called. TVX has also tried, and Xplicit is having a good go now, but not going as far as TAC this last week. As for the other channels, I'm not paying a "pay-per-night view" to find out. The ones I mentioned at least let you see all month for next to nothing.

Sorry - going off topic - sure I'll be told!!

We were always correct to be confident that eventually the rules would be shown to be stupid - there is some very arousing softcore and some awfully mechanical boring hardcore. The rules - based on 1930's UK/USA were made by stiff upper lipped chaps who wouldn't know how to treat their own children any differently from theire war enemies. They had a good reason to think the way they had to - That's how they won wars.. but thankfully, they are either dead or have changed. Mary Whitehouse has so much to answer for - I'd go as far as saying that she was actually evil in terms of today's society.

As individuals develop within modern society, they are finally are realising that if adults can cope with the six-o-clock news - complete with graphic reports of terrorism, death by starvation, freak accidents etc etc - they can cope with people being shown to be actually enjoing themselves and being happy. - And if we can cope with People being cut to pieces on Medical programs and blood spurting everywhere - we may actually be able to cope with seeing someone "cum"

Today's pensioners were young adults whn they were Beatles fans - attidudes can only get better!

- whether or not it's this month - well, we'll just have to see.

PS. Adult Channel did the same thing tonight at the same time... Yummy!!!

[trapanicus]

Please excuse spelling mistakes in last post.. TAC was very good as I typed and Iwas multi-tasking as good as most blokes do.. hummmmm ...

I think TVX will make a move this week and maybe Spice will- as Spice are part of the Playboy/TAC franchise and have every reason - their mandate being "Pushing the boundaries"....

[Cosine]

I was going to ask if there has been any response from TVX?

SportXXX seem to have responded, ( or are losing subscribers ), judging by the freeview over the last couple of days.

Maybe this should be a new thread but...

Is it worth subscribing to all 3 for ?15 rather than the AC for ?10? Are the other 2 following the Adult Channel's lead? Are they any good?

Is online ordering Secure - any problems?

What are the chances of Ofcom intervening to stop this just after I subscribe

Thanks for any help.

Cheers, Mike.
