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.
Sex acts are not something that is pure and sacred that exist outside of the very real dynamics of our society.
Yes, these people (the murders from the article) literally are using the arguments that you and other people use in this discussion. They have twisted consent past the breaking point. The fucked up thing is they get away with it.
What about the accidental deaths? As I have already said adults in relationships accidentally kill each other because choking is unsafe. If you accidentally killed your partner choking them are you a murderer!? Has does consent fix this.
Consent does not take away the harm and does not make it acceptable. Should society allow the promotion of these harmful behaviors because "consent’.
I feel like you are not different than the defense attorneys arguing that these murderers are in fact just innocent people engaging in consensual sex acts. Is this really your position?
Furthermore, we are ignoring all the suffering and damage that a permissive culture causes that encourages dangerous acts without denouncing them. This is what is happening in the UK. And their response is to ban these harmful depictions.
This is not a moral panic, when over half of college women report unwanted choking. It is an epidemic.
Oxygen deprivation is not okay and consent cannot get around that. Brain damage is real. It is no different than huffing harmful substances. You are not going stand here and argue with me that it is okay for people to destroy their brains by depriving them from oxygen.
People here will sit here and argue it is okay because CONSENT. This is a disservice to the concept of consent. It is also against the morality of kink culture.
