Itâs looking like UK Internet scavengers will soon be unable to access any website depicting ânon-conventional sex acts,â according to The Guardian.Â
Part of the Digital Economy Bill, a proposal currently going through parliament, will force all internet service providers to block any entertainment that wouldnât receive certification for commercial sale from the British Board of Film Classification.

Attitiude reports thereâs no definitive list of these sex acts, but it will likely include spanking or whipping, urination, vaginal ejaculation, sex in public, and âany form of sexual penetration into an orifice which exceeds the so-called âfour-fingerâ rule.â
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
In related news, Britons may soon need to provide proof that theyâre over the age of eighteen before looking at any online adult entertainment.
Advocates of free speech are branding this a âprurientâ invasion into peopleâs personal lives.

âIt should not be the business of government to regulate what kinds of consensual adult sex can be viewed by adults,â said chief executive of Index on Censorship, Jodie Ginsberg,
Meanwhile, a spokeswoman for international porn site operator MindGeek, said:
Many of the sexual activities prohibited from R18 [the BBFCâs most explicit certification] are normalised and accepted aspects of healthy sexuality, and are proudly celebrated by the feminist, queer and ethical porn movements internationally.â

Does the 4 finger rule mean what I think it does?

Yea good luck with that. Have these right wingnuts not heard of VPN services?
I glad they’ll be wasting their time and effort on ineffectual things like this.

Four Finger Rule:
Finger rule
A rule for determining a woman’s worth during a hookup. One finger is a gift from above, two fingers is a perfect fit, three or more and you’ve got a whore.

The moment the govt decides what it’s citizens can and cannot participate in, in this case viewing sexuality online it brings it all back to “who are they to make the choices for us”.
Sexuality is a normal part of human interaction. Suggesting acts like spanking or vaginal ejaculation go against the norm creates labels that are otherwise not reasonable. As long as no one is harmed or participating in acts that are illegal what individuals do or how should be left to their own choosing. Unfortunately it’s misinformed preaching individuals who think GOD has “christened” them as his mouth piece who tend to be the ones suggesting “the missionary position ONLY for procreation” is the “approved” sexual activity.

Porn is prostitution. I wish people would understand that. It is not healthy and it also distorts human sexuality.
Brian
@darren michaels: Again, porn is not sexuality. It’s prostitution.

I guess that leaves us homos out in the cold.

It won’t work. They don’t understand the internet.

@Brian: porn is entertainment for getting off.

Every time I read this, I see John Cleese reading it and discussing the new ministry of sex.

@novadude: I’m sure it was an advertorial in the Guardian, given that Hide My Ass is currently running a 50% off Black Friday promo. đ

@Brian: The only thing distorted is your so called brain.

@Brian: I have no issue with prostitution as long as YOU make the choice to make it your endevour.

Porn is entertainment not prostitution. Seems like things are getting very prudish in the U K.
