Online pornography showing strangulation or suffocation is to be made illegal, as part of government plans to tackle violence against women and girls.
It follows a review which found depictions of choking were “rife” on mainstream porn sites and had helped normalise the act among young people.
Both the possession and publication of such material will be a criminal offence, under amendments to the Crime and Policing Bill currently going through Parliament.
Yes, that’s what I said earlier:
“Consent doesn’t mean only doing things you’re into, it means you’re agreeing to it free from any pressure or influence on your decision and you know everything you need to know to make your decision.”
When I say I don’t care what people do as long as there’s consent, that’s a requirement built into that statement. The vast vast majority of choking isn’t consentual, that’s the issue we need to address.
This isn’t a kink issue, it’s a mainstream issue.the kink community takes consent and safety incredibly seriously. In this case that’s stuff like roleplay choking or breathplay.
So then you admit that the majority of choking is without consent, unless you honestly think people are talking about the brain damage they are giving their partner. I am glad we can agree.
It is a kink issue. It goes against the kink code because there is no after care possible. Until they take responsibility for the damage they cause it is not safe and therefore a betrayal of the movement.
