It's great that Vomiting gets the thumbs up, providing it is not enjoyed by all involved. Happy Vomiting is a no no. Unhappy Vomiting is a ok. Lol!

This made me Lol!

Ballbusting
Ballbusting may be acceptable, depending on the level. OFCOM recommend submitting clips in question for review. It will come down to definition of moderate pain and whether viewers at home are likely to sustain serious injury if they try it at home. Hence ball-yanking is not acceptable; whereas controlled ball stretching is acceptable.


I guess a controlled kick to the balls is fine. Heh.

And where else in Europe is it felt necessary to have such a ridiculous list? It only makes sense if, as filters and fire-walls are by-passable, it is followed by legal action taken against anyone who downloads unapproved material from abroad. As all our internet activity is recorded how long after enacting such a law before the police are instructed, by CPS, OFCOM, DCMS, ATVOD etc to fish in the records for offenders? Talk about disproportionality. Its only porn FFS.

"that's entertainment" according to mr weller.

David Cameron speaks for the nation, and wants the UK to be part of Europe. I have nothing against being part of Europe. Shouldn't that mean all the Counties that have joined Europe, operate under the same rules?

At some point, Germany will either have to match the UK, or the UK will have to match Germany when it comes to XXX law.

Each member country has a get-out clause allowing it to legislate for purposes of public morality. Its just that UK governments of both sides use it as an excuse to over-do censorship measures.

Maybe the UK should be using it's 'get-out clause(s)' on more important issues.

According to the Adult Provider Network at XBizEU last September, moving off shore will be pointless where future regulation is concerned



However, no one ever contested these things so we are where we are at mainly because of that reason

If the adult content producing community care about their business and how it will be governed by those who know very little about it then they should band together through relevant groups and have their voices heard.

Never thought my first post on here would be on such a serious subject, but here goes...

I have to say that there seems to be to be an awful lot of disinformation in the reporting of the new regulations. Much of the press has said that the regulations "ban" a specific list of acts, yet in fact they do nothing of the sort, as all they say is that online material must conform to R18 standards:

http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2014 ... 916_en.pdf

This passes the ball to the BBFC's court, and yet their outline of what is and isn't acceptable at R18 doesn't include the specific list that the UK (and overseas) press has been gleefully repeating:

http://www.bbfc.co.uk/sites/default/fil ... 2014_5.pdf

The supposed "banned list" - or at least all reporting of it - seems to stem originally from a Vice.com article, as it pre-dates every other appearance. Similarly, the list Corona posted comes from a blog, and the wording in it only appears on a few other websites, all apparently copied from the first.

I see that in this thread some point to ATVOD, yet again there's nothing on their website that matches the supposed list.

The BBFC, meanwhile, now state:

"It has recently been suggested that the introduction of the Audiovisual Media Services Regulations will lead to several acts now being banned from UK on-demand services, including spanking and verbal abuse. Much of this information is inaccurate, some of it is wrong... The Audiovisual Media Services Regulations will ensure that UK on-demand content is consistent with legally available pornography off-line, benefiting from the application of UK law and the expert legal and medical advice which informs BBFC decisions."

So what actually is the truth? If there is an official "banned list," then on which official website does it appear?

The misinformation usually comes from confusion due to lack of transparency with the agencies that pushed this bill through to become law to help them secure enforcements with OFCOMs determinations

Consult this lawyer and his blog

I would say things were clearly explained in this video

Some of those acts were already illegal even if they werent defined by the OPA (Obscene Publications Act)

Simply put, if your video is likely to pass R18 classification then its ok. You dont need to submit it for classification. The R18 is a guideline to what is acceptable on VOD services.
