Hi,

Longtime lurker... ;-)

Just went out to buy some beer, and Streetfighter magazine, and thought i'd get a "soft" porn mag too. Been a while since i've bought so-called top shelf magazines from a newsagents, what with the 'net and all, anyways, I bought one called TwoBlue Hardcore.

I was pleasantly suprised when I got home to find that it had full penetration shots inside. I was under the impression, that these publications were restricted to licensed sex shops only? As I said, it's been a while, I think I used to buy Whitehouse about 7 or 8 years back, and that whilst getting towards hardcore, wasn't quite.

Anyway, just out of curiosity more than anything, what are newsagents and the like allowed to sell now porn wise? Thanks.

What they are legally allowed to sell and what they are getting awy with selling are probably two different things, if you take Ri8 films for instance they can only be sold through licensed sex shops yet the same material if its in a mag is allowed in a newsagents.

Thankyou.What puzzled me, was the censoring on the cover of the word fucking, whilst a strap line "New R18s Reviewed".

So, it sounds like it is just bureaucratic double standards then?

The Censor believes that the moving image has a far greater power to corrupt than the still!

Init Just, speaking as an Ex-Newsagent, Full Sale or Return AND 40% is a powerfull incentive.
