From boring to dead-boring: British porn sliding down purist slope

[ddstory.livejournal.com]

First off, LOL this is really breaking news in Blighty, innit? Bugger!

A long list of sex acts just got banned in UK porn
"Regulations branded 'simply a set of moral judgements'"

Seemingly arbitrarily deciding what is nice sex and what is not nice sex, the board's ruling on 'content that is not acceptable' effectively bans the following acts from being depicted by British pornography producers:

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

The final three listed fall under acts the BBFC views as potentially "life-endangering".

Well, one could argue that some of the stuff included in this new censorship list clearly reeks of misogyny, for example the ban on female ejaculation (squirting). Also the ban on spanking, caning, aggressive whipping, all activities that are predominantly used in female dominatrix situations where the woman is the active side, stinks of puritanical misogyny.
