Porn depicting sex between step-relatives set to be banned in the UK
- nephihaha 8mo agoA stopped clock is right once a day. This is one thing I agree with for once. This stuff is obviously meant to be a backdoor for online ID though.
- pixl97 8mo agoWhy do you give a damn on what other people are doing in this case?
- bill_joy_fanboy 8mo agoYeah, like how does the collective mental health and well-being of society affect you in any way, bro? Mind your own biz... /s
- pixl97 8mo agoSo you're for banning social media? Actually from your history you're for banning all kinds of things, some that make sense and some that massively increase government power. A pro-authoritarian anti-authoritarian stance is confusing...
- Itoldmyselfso 8mo agoThe claim that it actually has any measurable effect on the collective health and well-being currently lacks any proof besides "intuition".
- KumaBear 8mo agoNot judging anyone’s kinks but when there are so many major issues to solve this is what is being focused on? Maybe that’s the point
- kotaKat 8mo agoThis is just the tip of the slippery slope of starting to ban ‘nonconforming’ adult content and a later pivot to starting to attempt to ban LGBTQ+ pornography under similar bullshit morality clauses.

- kotaKat 8mo agoNo, as a furry, I believe it’s fursecution.
- RGamma 8mo agoM'lady
- jermaustin1 8mo agoNot purrsecution?
- kotaKat 8mo agoThis depends on the courts and purrisdictions, to be honest. Some days I wonder if it’s one big old kangaroo court the way things are going in this dog-eat-dog world.
- mrexcess 8mo agoThere seem to be two sides to politics: 1) Deciding the really important issues. This occurs with minimal public involvement, and that always to the overt reticence of the ruling class. "Expert" voices are projected downward to the masses, pronouncing authoritatively both about objective truth and characterizing the subjective preferences of the masses. 2) What are often called "wedge issues", or more recently "culture war" issues. These issues are often sensational by nature, and further sensationalized by the media to evidently encourage public participation in the discourse. Expert voices continue to guide the conversation along an established Overton window, but without making the public feel unqualified to give their opinion, just the opposite. Is this what democracy is supposed to resemble? The hoi polloi fighting amongst themselves over what genres of pornography are acceptable, while the leaders run off to back rooms to make global-reach decisions about war, macroeconomics, and the shape of our society to come? I just can't imagine a functional democracy where the main discussion or topic of focus for any serious person, at this time, is incest porn.

- Mashimo 8mo agoIt was already a thing in 90s porn. At least in the few German 4:3 videos I do remember. Just like teacher / student videos. It's a fantasy. Though I find it odd HOW popular it is now days. I don't see your comparison. It's quite the escalation.
- GaryBluto 8mo ago> Though I find it odd HOW popular it is now days. I once saw somebody say it's a way to make relatively mundane vanilla porn while also getting views from people into the taboo factor.
- api 8mo agoI’m sure it’s always been around. “There is porn of it, no exceptions.” I actually didn’t say my opinion on bans. I’m generally against them with the exception of CSAM. I’m generally against legal restrictions on speech for any reason since it’s historically a slippery slope. I was just saying it’s gross and its popularity is a little disturbing. I feel the same way about extreme degradation porn. I don’t think it should be banned. I’m just a little bothered sometimes by how many people are turned on by that stuff. Note that I’m not even talking about typical BDSM, but things that seem like reenactments of war atrocities.

- moron4hire 8mo agoJust a point of order: step-siblings do not share biological parents. Step-siblings are the product of two single-with-children adults marrying and combining their households. Half-siblings, on the other hand, have one shared biological parent. Half-siblings are the result of two adults, at least one of which already has children, having children together.
- mapontosevenths 8mo agoThere must be a line somewhere, and it is reasonable to debate where exactly that line should be. In this case, it feels natural to me that the line for images should be aligned with the line for the act itself. Banning images of things that are not themselves illegal makes little sense to me and feels a bit like someone trying to legislate away otherwise legal behavior just because they personally find it distasteful.
- usrnm 8mo ago> it feels natural to me that the line for images should be aligned with the line for the act itself So, no more crime on TV?
- josefritzishere 8mo agoSalient point.
- deleted 8mo ago[deleted]
- benj111 8mo agoThis. Why is it I can watch James Bond murder a couple of dozen people on the big screen and that's fine, but watching a perfectly normal consensual act is taboo. Christ, I don't get the step relative thing, but if you do, but don't want to do anything to your step child. Go for it. It wasn't long ago that homosexuality was conflated with pedophilia. This is coming from exactly the same place. And then there's the intellectual honesty. Are these people not into anything sexual? I get the school girl thing. I'm not a pedo, I'm sure a psychologist could break it down, but I don't get it, when I break it down. Do the politicians have these fantasies and are in denial? Think they can 'control their urges' but others can't? Why can't it be that I like the idea of a grown adult female in school uniform sexy, and that I'm honest about that and I'm honest about the fact I don't want to sleep with a 15 year old.

He stated that possessing a photograph of such an act would be illegal under the Criminal Justice and Immigration Act 2008 if it was produced for pornographic purposes, but not if the purpose was "satire, political commentary or simple grossness".
- notarget137 8mo agoWhat? So putting your willy in a pig on camera is totally fine while you do it ironically? Why and how would any reasonable human being decide what the purpouse of a photograph of sex with animals is? Have furries been overstepping the law the whole time?

- nephihaha 8mo agoI'm old fashioned, I draw the line at dead people, incest (even "stepincest"), children and animals.
- piva00 8mo agoYou control other people's fantasies? I understand and agree with children, and bestiality being off-limits due to the non-consenting nature of any sexual interaction with them but a fantasy re-enacted by actors about incest/stepincest or even playing dead people? Why do you care? It's someone else's kink, not yours, you wouldn't like if the majority of people thought your vanilla sex kinks are off-limits (no more missionary for you, it's disgusting!).
- nephihaha 8mo agoPeople fantasise about a lot of things (not just sexual), but that doesn't mean they are right. There are reasons beyond sex why incest (even with non-blood relatives) and bestiality are off the table. Not because of "vanilla" as you put it, but because they come with other costs. As does unprotected sex with multiple strangers, another stupid trope promoted in porn.
- 47282847 8mo agoI tend to agree with the perspective that this is a display of a desire to “reenact” and process personal and collective/intergenerational traumatic experiences (similar to violence in movies) on the one end, and the desire to repress and deny them on the other hand (position to ban; protection of perpetrator by silencing the victim). It reminds me of a psychology paper about whether BDSM practices are useful to process traumatic experiences or if the downsides prevail. https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/0092623X.2024.2332775 https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/0092623X.2024.2... The question is, if we ban such “phantasies”, are we not merely strengthening repression and silencing of trauma, and by that perpetuating it. Or how do we go about sprinkling in a conscious awareness of why the urges exist to go deeper with them without the shame/blame to protect the original pain and misdeeds, rather than just continually repeating them, both as fantasy/role play and in real abuse. I want to additionally mention but not link to the subreddits full of incest fantasy stories (or are they), and a reminder that abuse leads to abuse fantasies in the victim until it is properly processed and integrated. As long as we shame victims additionally for this healthy mechanism of the psyche we will be doomed to repeat it.
- b450 8mo agoI really don't know anything about it, but I'd speculate that the fantasy is plain old 'misattribution of arousal'. The heart gets pounding at the idea of violating the taboo against incest, and that bodily state is interpreted as sexual arousal. Not that I'm suggesting that there is just one explanation of something as complicated as this.
- DaedalusII 8mo agoyou are both correct, but what if there is no trauma? two teenagers move into the same house because their parents started a relationship. they see each other little because both step-parents have shared custody arrangements. they have no biological connections whatsoever. four years later they are both 19, alone together a lot, et cetera. but simultaneously, this is a huge taboo, a betrayal of the parents, a great psychodrama i knew one guy in college whose girlfriend cheated on him, with his biological father. a great betrayal, a great freudian cuckolding. what kind of strange fantasy will this man have now?

- andy_ppp 8mo agoIt's funny that it's still presumably legal to marry your step sister, not in pretend videos but in real life. And we honestly shouldn't have a problem with that given the disgust around incest presumably comes from the likelihood of genetic defects.
- masfuerte 8mo agoIt's also legal for a step-father to marry his step-son and for a father to marry his son. Similarly for mothers and daughters. But it may become illegal to depict this. Parliament is full of idiots.
- kitd 8mo agoYou can only marry a step-sibling in the UK if the 2 parties first met as adults. If one or both was under 18 when they first met, then no. Edit: I believe the same applies for step-parent/child.
- tzs 8mo agoThat seems overly restrictive. Consider this scenario: 1. Romeo and Juliet meet when they are teens. They are not step-relatives. They develop a romantic relationship, which their parents disapprove of. 2. The maintain their relationship, which grows deeper with age, and plan to marry as soon as the are 18. 3. Before they turn 18 both of them lose a parent (maybe to divorce, maybe to death). Their remaining parents get married in order to make Romeo and Juliet step siblings and thus block them from marrying.
- manarth 8mo agoPlease do write that fanfic play (with appropriate Shakespearean tragedy) :-D
- manarth 8mo ago"If one or both was under 18 when they first met" The age of 18 relates to the age of consent for step- relationships. The age of consent in the UK for most relationships is 16. It's raised to 18 in the case of many step- relationships. The age at which they met is irrelevant; the age at the moment of the activity – marriage/sexual congress – is the relevant matter in law. Once both parties are older than 18 there is no legal impediment.

I only know about it because an ex was a medical professional
- amiga386 8mo agoIslam does not tell you to do this. It's the cultural practises of specific kinship networks in the UK, especially from Mirpur. And the practise is also currently on the decline. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Pakistanis#Consanguineous_marriage_and_genetic_risk https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Pakistanis#Consanguine... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Mirpuris#Endogamy_and_kinship https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Mirpuris#Endogamy_and_... The irony is, of course, that this law is being proposed while the NHS has been advised (by a quango, not the government) to stop discouraging cousin-marriage: https://www.thetimes.com/uk/healthcare/article/first-cousin-marriages-nhs-advice-6c2j6sbmz https://www.thetimes.com/uk/healthcare/article/first-cousin-... -- the NHS is not required to accept this advice, and indeed the links above show that cosanguinity is decreasing, partly because of public health initiatives telling people what the harms are!

In its first chapter, the Christian Bible suggests that we are all incestuous descendents of Adam and Eve and their children.

- DaedalusII 8mo agothis is one of the most popular themes in pornography for whatever reason. incest titles increase click through rates to any porn video, even if they contain no incest content or even reference to incest why this is so huge is fascinating. i suspect it is not really about the age gap, but rather the emotional trauma and sexual confusion so many people experience living in the same house hold as non biological "family members". the tension between "it is taboo to be attracted to my family" and "I am sexually attracted to a physically attractive person of no biological relation who lives in my house" a male and female 19 year old of no biological relation, who only met each other 4 years earlier when their parents started dating, would very naturally feel sexual attraction to each other. indeed, they would share many of the social and biological traits of their parents. yet, this would be a massive taboo. consider the huge trauma of the mother being betrayed by her daughter sleeping with her step-sibling, or even her step-parent, fear of this, jealousy, fantasy. of course the combination of taboo with sexual attraction will result in an entire genre of erotic fantasy much like adultery, cheating, professor-college student, or any other relationship of power and betrayal the real question is, at what point does expressing the human condition become illegal? especially when as others have noted, it is legal to do the thing in real life but apparently not photograph it and if this content is harmful to the consumer, why is other pornography apparently not? Should we ban also onlyfans?
- hoherd 8mo agoIn a similar vein, imagine the step parents aren't married, they're just platonic friends. They would probably be overjoyed if their children connected romantically. Also, I can just see the industry changing from "stepbrother" to "my mom's boyfriend's son." Suddenly if the parents aren't married then it's not illegal. What about if the parents are divorced? Does ex-step-sibling count? The whole thing seems absurd. These are works of fiction that have not "graduated", as Preet Bharara would say.

- oldandboring 8mo agoThe article addresses this, but doesn't really clear it up. First it says: > But justice minister Baroness Levitt warned that cracking down on pornography depicting sex between step-relatives was complicated, because not all > relationships between step-relatives are illegal. and then later: > Lady Bertin said she was "mystified why it does not include step-incest", as she moved her proposal, which peers backed 144 votes to 143. > She added: "Nearly all step-relations between step-parents and step-siblings is illegal. > "This is because Parliament recognised the clear power imbalance in step family relationships within households, and also Parliament acted because step-relations are the most likely relationships in which child sexual abuse takes place. I guess there must be some limited definition of these interactions which are legal.

- throwaway46782 8mo agoMy initial instinct to this headline was: Why would you ban that? After reading the article, I might agree this is a reasonable option. From my perspective this type of porn was basically just porn with a bit of story attached to it, which imo elevates it slightly. Though I was mainly thinking about the step-sibling variety. From a male perspective the stepfather variety always gave me the ick, with the stepson dynamic lying somewhere in between. But I was looking at it as someone without any step-relationships in real life. Now, after also looking up the prevalence of step-relationships lying between 10 and 40% depending on what you count, I am a lot more vary of this trend in pornography from a societal perspective. Even besides the more insidious possible effects mentioned in the article, I can see how this type of fantasy can give the (presumably majority male) porn audience wrong ideas. Like considering every woman a possible partner instead of just peer, even in the wider context of family. In theory I agree with these kind initiatives to try and at least steer things in the right way but I also realise how often they fail. And who knows the trend following such a ban could be worse. Ultimately, you are only treating symptoms here and ignoring the societal problems that lead to this being a thing in the first place (loneliness, fewer human connections, rise of individualism, etc.)
- benj111 8mo agoApply you logic to James Bond or Call of Duty? Do they make young men believe they can go round killing each other? I suspect the operative part here is "ick" and I get it. But why do you think homosexuality was illegal for so long? What about the trans debate? What about your own personal kink? Your personal ick isn't a reason to stop someone doing something that doesn't harm someone else.

- keernan 8mo ago>"around half of all sexual abuse cases against children were perpetrated by step-parents" I understand most commenters are reacting to their masturbatory fantasy aspects of pornography, but I am more concerned about the real life sexual molestation of children. In particular, I am a bit concerned about the statement I quoted above. First, I want to emphatically state that it is not my intent to minimize the risk of sexual abuse committed by step parents. I learned 25+ years ago that my wife's grandfather, who lived with them, started raping her when she was 7 years old until he died when she was 14. She never told a soul until she revealed this secret to me when she was 44. I have read an extensive amount about sexual abuse over the ensuing years. What I learned stunned me. Studies dating back to the early 1900s until when I was researching were consistent: 1 in 3 women reported they had suffered serious ongoing sexual abuse when they were children. These studies were almost all anonymous with most women survivors still keeping the secret. By definition, this would appear to indicate widespread sexual abuse that was almost certainly not related to step parents ( I did a quick GoogleAI check while writing this which indicates 9-10% of American children live in households with a step-parent ). My purpose behind this comment is to note that the 50% figure mentioned in the article is based upon actual cases reported by the children - and everything I have learned is that the overwhelming majority of cases are never reported and, indeed, never mentioned to anyone and kept a total secret forever by the abused women. And it is easy for me to see that reporting of a step-parent is much more likely than the reporting of a parent or grandparent or other close family relative. Indeed, I suspect the a high percentage of the non-step parent cases in England are likely non-family members (again, because of the likely fear and shame felt by the child when the abuse is by a close blood relation). I felt the need to address the misleading nature of the quote. I am sure it is factually accurate, but misleading for the reasons I've outlined. Lastly, please remember to look at the next high school graduating class in May/June this year and think to yourself that one in three of the girls receiving their diplomas are likely hiding a terrible life changing secret. It angers me this information is kept so quiet. I urge everyone to take the time to look into this subject. Please educate yourself for the sake of your children - male and female. Edit: After writing this, I did a quick GoogeAI search and GoogleAI indicated studies show 86% of women never reveal the abuse. It also indicates that the percentage of woman suffering sexual abuse before 18 is one in four, not one in three. It would appear that the information has changed slightly with AI compared to my pre-Ai reading - but it doesn't really change the substance of concern for what is happening behind closed doors.
- benj111 8mo agoQuestion How is this going to work in practice, if I watch a vid that's tagged 'step relative' am I going off the jail and on the register? Does it have to be in the description?

- blargthorwars 8mo agoThe weird bit is that the UK is the inbreed/incest hot zone of Europe: "It is estimated that approximately 55% of marriages within the Pakistani community in the United Kingdom are between first cousins. This practice, often referred to as consanguineous marriage, is culturally favored within certain communities, leading to higher rates of inbreeding coefficients, which can be comparable to those found in other regions with high rates of cousin marriage, such as in the Middle East." The UK refuses to make it illegal. That would be racist. The worst crime ever.

- tsoukase 8mo agoThis feels more like a joke. Off course the step- word was meant to be omitted in order to challenge pervert instincts, so this ban is justified.

I suppose cousin and unkle/aunt relationships will increase. How is it supposed to be enforced? Will there be a word filter?

The title might be better summarised as: Porn depicting a specific set of unlawful sexual activity is set to be banned.

Two consensual adults or cartoons acting something illegal. And in UK porn is banned for underage already... So it seems problematic that they could just as easily justify to ban any book or video that depict illegal things
