- Porn On Cable 2/7/2009 6:34:14 AM Due to broadcast censorship, the UKs adult channels are all softcore (inc. Hustler TV UK), despite the dubious claims of some broadcasters, so, IMO, are a complete waste of time, effort & money. BTW, I find 'editing', whether due to time constraints or, in particular, censorship, completely unacceptable. However, you can access the uncensored content from mainland European broadcasters, if you have a system that can receive signals from suitable satellites e.g. Hotbird at 13 degrees East. The problem, however, is that most of the channels offer very poor picture quality, due to a quantity over quality attitude, resulting in far too many channels being squeezed into too little bandwidth, with the inevitable low resolution & bitrate that res...
- Gag Factor still legal? 11/11/2007 5:52:29 PM If (almost certainly, when) the proposed extreme porn law goes ahead, lots of uncensored consensual adult porn MAY fall foul, and therefore leave anyone in possession liable to (up to) 3 years in prison. That could quite easily include Gag Factor - gagging/choking during fellatio would the authorities consider this life threatening? IMO, the only way to be safe is to stick to the sub-standard (often censored) R18 certificate material, as BBFC classified material will be exempt; well, sort of - remember, this exemption refers to whole DVD; this proposed law is so utterly ridiculous (not to mention unjustified, incompatible with the ECHR etc.) that even stills taken from a legal/R18 title could leave you open to prosecution!

Updating it is easy enough, no? My PC is very old, and it only just meets the absolute minimum requirements for Firefox, but I thought I would give it a go. Ironically, using Firefox, the ONLY site I am having trouble with is ADT! It wont load at all, let alone display correctly! Oh well, guess Ill have to wait until I get my new PC to enjoy ADT in its full glory! (added incentive to finally get a new one - long overdue, Im afraid!).

- Customs question 4/21/2007 6:47:51 PM Polish Princess wrote: It really defies belief that in a world full of crime, war and terrorism, that we adults in the UK can't watch consensual adult entertainment made for and by consenting adults. Indeed; the UK authorities are completely OBSESSED by porn (as well as curtailing any other personal freedoms that they can think of...); sadly, things are getting worse, not better. The UK government seems determined to push ahead with its proposals to criminalise the mere possession of so-called extreme porn, in England & Wales, despite a majority of respondents to its consultation opposing the move, and expert legal opinion concluding that such a move would be incompatible with the European Convention on Human Rights. If/when their proposa...

- URGENT: Scottish Parliament To Ban ALL Adult Porn? 1/27/2007 5:34:27 AM Robbie wrote: Hi struan, did you see Red Road? I heard it won 5 Scottish Baftas. I will probably catch this on DVD at some point but I just wanted to say how odd it is that the censorship issue has come around again, in the same year that Scotland has produced its most sexually explicit mainstream/crossover film to date. I wasnt aware of this movie thanks for the heads-up. The problem is, the ever smaller moral minority just get ever more vocal in their attempts to impose their views on the rest of society; unfortunately, politicians keep listening to them . This is why it is so important that as many people as possible, who hold opposing views, contact the relevant authorities to complain, expose the pro-censorship propaganda for the li...
- URGENT: Scottish Parliament To Ban ALL Adult Porn? 1/20/2007 6:20:04 PM chupacabras wrote: I'm not too concerned yet - the petition dates from 2004. See the last update <link> . Anyhoo, I don't think the Executive would be too keen to push this forward. I'm Scottish and live in one of the more conservative areas of Scotland, and even here i don't think they would get much public support for this. I hope you are correct, but, as I mentioned in my original post, I would argue that the fact that the petition should have died a death, but hasnt, means that it is all the more worrying. In addition, the biased comments from the committees convenor do not give much hope for a fair hearing:- Elaine Smith, MSP for Coatbridge and Chryston, said: "We need to hear from academics who work in this field about whether ...

- URGENT: Scottish Parliament To Ban ALL Adult Porn? 1/13/2007 6:11:58 PM night_lick wrote: Well, I guess a new underground market will be starting if their legislation passes. Downloading should do a brisk business there. Yes, the already healthy black market will surely increase - R18 titles, as classified by the BBFC, are still subject to considerable censorship, so some (many?) people try and source the uncensored originals, wherever they can. As for downloading, I'm not sure If the 'extreme porn' proposals go through, mere possession will make people liable to (upto) 3 years in prison, whereas existing censorship concerns distribution of material, so you can (currently) possess whatever (adult) material you wish. Its one thing to risk the (relatively anonymous) purchase of offending material in hard co...

- BBC covers AEE 1/13/2007 7:20:59 AM I saw this on BBC News 24 how refreshing to see a mainstream broadcaster provide an unbiased, non-judgmental report on how normal/mainstream & large the adult entertainment industry is (as well as detailing how it drives technology). Might be worth contacting the BBC to praise the article, as they will no doubt receive complaints from the moral minority, who will be less than amused, I imagine
- Centers of porn industry worldwide 12/24/2006 7:13:59 PM LeeScott wrote: SNIP You have to remember that it has only been legal to purchase R18 movies in the UK since 2001, so there is still plenty of potential for growth. AFAIK, it was never illegal to purchase (within the UK) or own ANY adult porn - the legalisation of some hardcore at R18 was to do with distribution. Sadly, recent events may mean that 2007 will be a massive retrograde step; not only are there proposals to criminalise the possession of so-called 'extreme porn', but, even worse, a Scottish Parliament committees recent announcement of a 'porn summit', which looks set to try and outlaw ALL adult porn in Scotland! Dark days, indeed.
- Identify G Paloma, J Night fist/DP/piss scenes? 12/3/2006 7:09:08 AM Available here: <link> Never used this company, so cant comment on how reputable, or otherwise, they are, but I found them through a link from the XXL-video site, who seem to be the distributor of the Euro versions?
- question about UK porn 12/3/2006 6:18:03 AM Just a thought, but why would anyone, who doesnt actually have to, try and buy porn from the, still depressingly repressive & illiberal, UK? Unless, of course, the product you want is only available there, but I imagine that most UK producers will make their product available for other markets, sometimes in the form of original, uncensored versions (i.e. free from BBFC censorship). Check to see if the product you are interested in falls into that category, and if so, avoid UK supply, IMO. Edited by - Struan on 12/3/2006 6:21:25 AM
