Pornography produced in the UK was quietly censored today through an amendment to the 2003 Communications Act, and the measures appear to take aim at female pleasure.
The Audiovisual Media Services Regulations 2014 requires that video-on-demand (VoD) online porn now adhere to the same guidelines laid out for DVD sex shop-type porn by the British Board of Film Censors (BBFC).
Seemingly arbitrarily deciding what is nice sex and what is not nice sex, the board’s ruling on ‘content that is not acceptable’ (p.23) effectively bans the following acts from being depicted by British pornography producers:

So when I give my GF a squirting orgasm and capture it, I can’t put it online anymore, but my own cumshots are allowed? Isn’t this law like totally sexist and how did it get approved then?

I don’t see any changes yet, but I’m curious what will happen in 2015 with this law.
Is there still a lot of money made in the adult industry, btw?
