Hundreds are planning to gather on Friday outside Parliament
to protest the new set of pornographic laws effectively blocking “explicit
content” from R18 films.
The Audiovisual Media Services Regulations of 2014 will have
pornographic distributors for online and video-on-demand pornography be
regulated by the British Board of Film Censors’ guidelines for R-18 material. It
involves “explicit works of consenting sex or strong fetish material involving
adults.”
The #PornProtest is a response against these regulations.
Hundreds of demonstrators plan to stimulate sex acts with each other and
perform a “face-sitting” demonstration.
As of December 1, 2014, strangulation, whipping and
face-sitting, popular fetish sexual acts in adult pornography, had been banned
on films produced in the United Kingdom. However, it does not restrict overseas
films coming into the country from showing these explicit acts.
The law banned them on the grounds that they were “life-threatening.”
Britain’s 2013 Sex Worker of the Year Charlotte Rose organised
the mass protest. She told a popular blog that the restrictions were uncalled
for.
“How is it perfectly okay for a man to choke a woman with
his penis in her mouth, yet we can’t enjoy cunnilingus through face-sitting?”
The protest will include serious speeches from various
organisations. According to rose, the protesters are fighting for their
personal liberty.
