Just to balance the argument. This law is mostly due to an incident where a young woman was killed by a guy, who had a fetish about strangulation, which he used to watch over and over on the internet. It still has to be ratified as far as i know.

Lets hope if they do make it law then common sense also prevails.

Wow.. having just watched V for Vendetta an hour ago this becomes a even more scary thread. My idea of actual harm is much different from others I am sure. Certainly from Govt. prudes. Borderline to torture. ( it's not fun untill someone bleeds <just kidding> ) And who is to say what is and is not Art? If snooty well to do people will look at it then it's art? I don't think so. Art in all it's forms belongs to the masses. The human body and the conditions it goes through in and of it's self is art ( to me at least ) I can understand banning Snuff films and Kiddie porn. they should be out of bounds period. But the rest is very gray area where if they decided to they can really crack down. I am not a fan of Big Brother trying to subdue my sexuality nor my rights. There is enough of that going around. Gods knows no politician will stand up to laws like this because it would damage thier image. folks would say he or her was a pervert, and not a crusader for rights. Good luck to you across the pond, hopefully our Head Idiot in Charge will not get the same idea.

These issues were all tested in the landmark case in the nineties of R v Brown a case still used to day regarding consent to serious bodily harm. its an easy case to google up! That case was triggered by a video made of their activities which was passed around their little group. All were consenting, none needed medical care and all received some form of custodial sentence i believe. The new legislation is just taking this case to a a stautory level and expanding the remit.

Yep, true enough - the issue really is that one commits an offence by way of soliciting another to commit an offence (in this case assault) and legally one cannot give consent to having an offence committed against one's self.

But this is a different thing - this concerns the possession of images which show (or of course, appear to show) what amount to assaults, in an erotic context. This includes your personal photographs of you and your partner.

The problem really is that in order for the law to be written clearly and to prevent loopholes, it is sweeping up ordinary men and women who are not dangerous sex offenders, and making them dangerous sex offenders. The other problem is, that just being a member of this site invites suspicion that one may be in violation of such a law - so if it passes, dont be surprised at the 6am knock on the door.

Does shagging on top of a nuclear warhead count?
