Porn Sale Ban

What a joke. This will just penalise domestic businesses in favour of foreign businesses. But who cares about that because what is next, banning the online sale of films that are certified 18? Banning games like Doom3 from being sold online?

    But we need a 78 year old man who hasn't had a shag in two decades to give us our sexual morality from on high!

    Porn should be available for adults, but clearly some barriers need to be in place to stop kids watching, so...

    The judge did not ban anything; I doubt you understand the law regarding porn and mail order. The 78 year old man who apparently has not had a shag in two decades was simply reinforcing the law as it stands - being pornography is illegal to sell through mail order or by phone as it can be easily bought by a sixteen or seventeen year old. As for it harming businesses illegally selling DVD's by pushing customers to shop abroad you can still buy it from Britain, British websites and mail order so it will not make any diffrence.
    On another note "Jack" Straw has denounced porn as "evil" and a Liberal Democrat called it "abhorrent".

    Can you still buy it from Ebay?

    Who the hell buys porn anyway? There's more than enough out there for free on the Internet! :D

    Its R18 also rather than 18, and I suspect the UK has a neglible production of porn anyway at least compared to the US, Netherlands and Germany

    More to the point, any kids that would able to use the internet to place mail orders for porn movies would also be able to watch it for free elsewhere within the net!

    The measure might be well-intentioned but rather pointless I'm afraid.

    That's illegal as well now as the law was changed a few years back - all participants have to be 18 and over - so a young man who has a few saucy pics of his 16/17 year old girlfriend (or boyfriend) is breaking the law even though they're both above the age of consent.

    On the porn ban: it's an amazingly stupid law when you consider that non-UK based adult mail order companies are legal and ones that happen to be based here aren't.

    Unfortunately J some teenagers are dreadfully ignorant of the facts of sex as things stand. A blankout of all thing sexual would only make things worse.

    The instinct of sexuality comes naturally and adults acted as if it didn't exist you'd still get young teenagers trying it out, but even fewer actually knowing the facts about pregnancy- let alone using birth control.

    Who says 16 year olds have to have sex at 16? I often wonder what would happen in the minds of kids if we didn't even mention sex at school or at home. Maybe things would come naturaly then instead of us making such a big deal of it all when they are youngsters.


    yeh i know im just saying they theoretically could


    when i was 16 my main goal was just enjoying myself and friends company without the hassle of women :p unless i got offered :p

    no because they would be breaking the law by making the video, its illegal to film under 18 sex
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
    Who need to buy it when it's free any way :D.

    What are they going to do next? Ban porn sites?

    I find it very bizarre, because surely if a person has a credit/debit card then they'll be 18 anyway.

    It's a stupid law, and is exactly the reason why children having sex is such a big problem in this country. A 16-year-old can have sex and get married, but can't toss off to Hardcore Anal Lesbian Sluts 6...say what?

    Oh well. Who buys it when there is plenty of free stuff out there, anyway?

    looks like all the under 18 folks are gonna have to do what we always have done...use P2P file sharing.
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
    edit: I think I had it the wrong way around... So companies in the UK are not allowed to sell R18 porn via mail order/internet, but we can still get it from other countries...?

    that's stupid! I'm pretty sure it's no easier to order from the UK that say from the US.

    what an odd law to pass...

    Porn is seen to degrade women... But if it does then why do women go and be a part of it?

    No I don't think it should be banned... I think that society putting taboos on sexuality is a very bad thing. Nor should society tell us how a beautiful man or woman whould look.
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
    Buying porn under age and prostitution are banned but, if you have sex with someone and pay them for it and film it its ok.
    Bit like you cant put naughty words on the side of fighter aircraft but you can drop a nuke with it. The enola gay that dropped the first atomic weapon didnt have any rude words written on it. Comforting to know.
