Certain sexual positions in pornography have been banned in the UK. The positions now banned include face sitting, spanking, and female ejaculation among many others. I find this misogynist new law set rather sickening; men can still ejaculate on camera and basically do whatever they want. The law aims at women, and what they can or can't do. This is another case of lawmakers controlling women sexually. These laws are offensive and a spit in the face of gender equality. They don't prevent citizens from watching videos that contain these acts- they only make it illegal for UK production companies or individuals to perform them and film them from here on out.
This is another case of the exponentially growing censorship of the internet as well as the disgusting suppression of the sexual freedoms of women. Rights that consenting adults have are being shuffled, picked and chosen from by the government. Everything the government has outlawed was consensual and between adults. While underage porn and violence against women have proven to be a huge problem in the industry that must be addressed, censorship of legal sexual acts is not a solution.
What the government has done to women with these laws is offensive. Women have been told yet again that their sexual freedom is secondhand to that of men, and this is not okay.
Banning face sitting and other acts depicting females receiving pleasure from legal online porn is kind of like a father forcing his daughter to wear a chastity belt.
