Oh wow wtf is going on the UK. Prohibition never works , teenagers will be more interested in it. Ways to avoid and to overcome the system will appear.
The annoying thing is that we haven't really voted for conservatives.
Because of FPTP, it's normal that ~35% of votes translates to having 100% of the say in governance, which is crazy.
And the worst part is that when multiple parties have anti-Tory stances, all that does is split the anti-Tory vote and hand the Conservative party more power.
I'm looking forward to next year when after 14 years of their bullshit it seems like they're finally going to be forced out.
Feelin the same here in the Land of Milk and Honey.
I know that people are scared and unsure, and that always leads them directly to authoritarianism (it did after the 1918 pandemic as well, seemingly). They want to feel safe. And any big liars and charlatans that tell them whatever they want to hear to satiate their fears, they’ll believe and follow.
At this point I’m flummoxed. But I know that humans are built to adapt, and all this will all soon pass as well; in the big scope of things.
So they’re collecting photos of minors who are most likely naked to protect those minors from the dangers of porn? Flawless work; the children are now safe.
I'm not gonna lie, I learned some of my best moves by hitting that "Sure, I'm 18" button back in the day. Or I pirated it. And for previous generations, can you imagine age-blocking a box of porn in the woods?
Kids will find a way around this.
I'm not saying all of it is healthy but it doesn't necessitate a complete lockdown.
Ah yes, learning moves from porn. Like, we all know women love the finger fish hook in the mouth thing, the violent rubbing of the clit (until she has to physically move your hand away), the slapping of the face, the cock down the throat until she gags and phlegm comes out her nose etc etc.
I'm exaggerating, but still. Porn is not sex ed. Be careful with what you learn.
And I agree, the measures to prevent kids from seeing porn all seem very privacy invading and ineffective. Maybe education is the solution, but even the idea of talking to kids about sex seem to make people's heads explode for some reason.
Good sex as a whole is about experimenting, learning, respect, and, most importantly, consent. I personally wouldn't have learned how to be a bit creative without some help from porn.
Tips and tricks can lead to more fulfilling relationships.

Are you assuming all women dislike the things you've mentioned? Because that's not true, and you can take a trip to sex friendly commnunities for women and quickly find someone who "likes it rough" or whatever. You can say most people might not like that, and that could be true, but there are still people who do.
If you want to teach sex ed with a better focus on sexual pleasure, then you can do that in the last year of high school or college (when everyone has already reached the age where they can legally have sex), whichever is preferable. We don't expect to learn maths from a sci-fi movie, but it certainly can inspire smart people to try for new scientific advancements - just like porn can inspire people to try new positions and techniques, if we actually educate people alongside so they're aware of what is or isn't necessarily pleasurable to everyone and that you should ask and talk to your partners to get to know what they're into. Instead of just assuming what they're into.
The Conservatives come up with these "think about the children!!" porn things all the time, make headlines that their retiree voter-base loves, then silently drop the proposed changes because even they know it's unworkable and idiotic. It's like clockwork.
It's like the UK government is trying to get Chinese level content restriction without openly admitting it...
There's a lot more in that bill than just "protect little Timmy from the big bad titties". It also gives a duty to "protect" users from, and allow reporting of, "illegal content", and remember folks, whats legal today may well be illegal tomorrow!
I think this might end up doing some good. Google unveils save-your-face-to-view-porn-inator, and some whiz kid somewhere will figure out a way to either bypass or fuck up facial recognition.
It being a bad idea aside, couldn't teens just show the camera any picture of an adult? Supposedly the system doesn't save the photo anywhere, so how would it know?
