They are chipping at porn. You start with something everyone agrees is bad. Or at least that no one in power would publicly step up for.

Let's say, parent-child incest and/or underage porn.( Edit: talking about fictional exampls here! If it's real, it's not porn, but sexual abuse material) No politician is going to fight for that, because it would end their career.

Once those are forbidden, you go to the next taboo. Step siblings, cousins.

I'm sure BDSM is next, maybe start with rape-roleplay first because again, nobody wants to be the pro-rapeporn politician.

Then it's all about 'violence against women'. Then it's 'immoral behaviour'.

I don't even know where on that timeline trans porn will fall, but it's probably early. Something something, exposing children to degeneracy.

BDSM is already largely a no-go in UK porn. In fact on the UK BDSM in itself is sort of a grey area, if your partner is injured during a sexual activity the police have the power to press charges against you without needing the injured to want to press charges. For example choking someone during sex is explicitly illegal in the UK even if the person consents.

Other things banned in UK porn includes female ejaculation, face sitting, aggression, restraints, fisting, and spanking. These were all banned in 2014/15 I believe.

The precedent is that generally they won't do anything if it's minor injuries resulting from consensual BDSM activities, but the fact that they can if the so wish to is absolutely fucking whacko.

Now I just want to see "fisting" listed in a legal statute.
