For all of the “I don’t watch that so I am ok with it” or similar coments, just wait until they ban something you do like. It is coming.

I am too boring, still if they ban bondage or sexy underwear I’m buggered, they will probably ban that as well just when we were going to dip our toes into that one.

When all is said and done people will do what they want in the privacy of their own homes

Whelp, guess I better tell hubby it’s lights off missionary from now on then, and he choked me this morning too after we discussed this, so I best let him know he’s liable for prosecution too :zany_face:

But if you do some reading, and from the Google AI overview I have in front of me, consent is not a legal defense if serious harm is caused. Furthermore, there is a consent clause for non-fatal strangulation, but it does not apply if the choker was negligent or intent on causing harm. In Scotland, however, consent is not a defence at all.

There is another caveat here, folks, and that is that the law is not trying to stop your kinky fun and games: this is only if an assault charge is filed. So basically, be careful who you play with and be careful what you do, whatever you get up to out there.

Do I support the ban? Eh. It’s monkey see, monkey do behaviour, and sadly there have been too many lives lost to incorrect technique, drink/drugs during play, unsafe limits, lack of/refusal to use a safeword etc. I don’t know what the solution is, better education is part of the answer, but you can’t make someone sit down and listen to a “safe choking” workshop.

My post on the choking kink, by the way, for anyone who wants a read: What's Your Kink? Choking - Ten Shades & Me

Hmm where do they intend to draw the line on this?! As many porn clips have some sort of moment where one or the other puts hand(s) on neck but don’t strangle or anything… I can see this is the government’s way to take further control over people after the age verification crap backfired.

And for it to be taken under the same as child abuse and terrorism is just plain ridiculous to the extent of pure incompetence! Has nothing at all to be linked in with them things :expressionless_face:

The whole idea of this I personally think is again too far and a deterrent to tighten control over people’s privacy and minds so it in long run adds to our repression which for some will lash out in criminal activity or creating such fantasies for themselves as they can’t indulge in it from a safely created porn clip…

If they go ahead with this and see that they can implement such control, it won’t be long before they then make more things illegal on that list such as role play scenes like student and teachers or medical professionals or office boss/employee, even bdms porn!!

They will not stop at this till porn on a whole is illegal in uk.

Totally correct - while consensual bondage / spanking and play is good trying to choke a person is beyond wrong and many schools have started teaching to pupils it’s acceptable if done properly..

no .. dangerous and wrong

@batjamboree what schools are these?

Also what about RACK (Risk Aware Consensual Kink) or PRICK (Personal Responsibility Informed Consensual Kink)? It’s not your cup of tea and I appreciate that but I’ve also seen things in the community that I personally have no interest in (pegging being a prime example) but I just accept that my yuck is another person’s yum and move on. All of kink is “wrong” and some of it arguably dangerous too, that’s kind of why we like it.

I don’t want to argue with you, I just think calling someone’s yum “wrong” is unfair. Not everyone is dangerous and some people take their kink safety very seriously :blush:

Indeed, and that defence had been used many times, be it choking or generally rough sex.

You kill them, you pay the price. Sounds as fair as can be without having them chocked to death themselves.

The story was in May this year (bbc news) where it was endorsed as a sexual practice

Each to their own but it’s too dangerous for my liking

I was curious so tried to find it… and succeeded: Bridgend council criticised for sex strangulation presentation plan - BBC News

The article says it was part of a draft presentation that was then dropped, so It wasn’t taught to anyone. Not trying to defend the attempt to endorse choking during sex to schoolchildren of course, but felt like a good idea to clarify that it doesn’t appear to actually be taught or encouraged.

I can’t believe that someone actually got as far as to draw up a draft presentation on it to give to children. Who in their right mind would think that it was a good idea.

It’s a difficult one. On the one hand, promoting it as ok is a bad idea, but there are a lot of teens trying it so isn’t it better that the understand the risks involved rather than them just try to copy what they’ve seen (or guess from what they’ve heard) and really cause damage?

I don’t care about that personally. Not into being suffocated. But then I don’t watch porn at all, since the age verification came in. All the stuff I’ve liked over the years is all up there in my head. I just have to close my eyes to see my favourite gangbang. :blush:

First time I heard of this was a woman, i think it was a jubilee clip, a mother of 3. Said she liked cnc, I had to look it up, its short for consentual non-consent. Apprantly women are into it.

it’s bizarre how how overreaching some of the laws are. Just barrell through loads of laws and keep people distracted from online IDs and other draconian stuff.

It’s just a kink people have. no worse than seeing SA/murder etc in a film.

People assume this scenes are “toxic masculinity”, but women are into this stuff just as much as men. BDSM inlves this sort of stuff and BDSM requires to consenting parties to be involved, men and women.

Not all women are into CNC or BDSM, just saying.

I understand that as people consume more and more they will always want the next best thing as stuff gets “boring”. But banning stuff has never really worked, if anything people will go underground for material or act things out as they can’t get a fix.

As with anything sexual, I think people just need educating. As a dominant, I have had several partners who enjoyed choking and similar as part of BDSM … but it’s not actually caused harm and been done with a safety word and plenty of communication and precautions. It’s an extreme act, but it shouldn’t mean if two consenting adults enjoy something they will be punished for it.

Education is the key thing missing, teaching the current and next generation that porn is a movie, it’s acting and it’s done with a full crew and script. The people involved are consenting and it’s all under strict guidelines. Iv watched movies where people do absolutely diabolical stuff but I wouldn’t go and do it myself as I know they are actors. It’s a shame that instead of fixing things, they just take stuff away. Removing the ability to educate and understand.

Let’s also ban jiu jitsu, because y’know, choking.

I’m being a little facetious of course, but it makes my point.

I agree.

Unfortunately,however, I am seeing that no matter how many good points you make to some, or how many facts you present, there will always exist those that are eager to give their rights up to the government for the promise off a lesser burdon of responsibility. It is sad and frightening.
