You're quite right In the early 80's they drew up a list of "video nasties"
Where people were seen to be getting hurt or killed and where the produces couldn't guarantee It was just actors acting and not "real". Films like the mondo series, Faces of Death and your football hooligan video fit this category. And with that you are onto the genre of "snuff" which doesn't really exist and films like Guinea Pig which were made famous by Charlie Sheen, seeing It then shitting himself then going to the FBI!

The human animal is (in the main) totally fascinated by the hurt/damage suffered by others. No doubt there is some deep psychological explanation for it, but I personally consider it to a very sick weakness in the psyche of the "superior species". Animals have an infinately superior sense of value.

Would I be right in assuming that all these Films could be bought in Europe as the full version?

Whilst a lot of the cuts are unpalatable acts to myself I don't see the problem if others are into that stuff

Even if a scene looks like the girl is doing something against her will surely logic tells you she is just acting otherwise she'd just walk or press charges?

Not if she is a drug addict, in the control of a violent pimp/boyfriend/husband.
Many of the girls in porn do it for the money, no other reason.
Friends of mine recently played golf down in Marbella. Area is crawling with eastern european girls, few in search of a tan. No doubt many of them would do porno with a handsome stud instead of fucking a fat tourist??

How can you "walk" when you are tied up? That Is the whole point! The boundaries of Consent are blurred, IMO on purpose by some people!

I stand corrected

In the two scenarios you paint it is probable that non-consensual acts could occur but how is Censoring these scenes in one tiny porn market going to stop them from occuring?

Censorship only ever leads to things underground going underground

Therefore we should legalise child porn so all the "nonces" would crawl out of the woodwork?....

NO of course not....a very bad example Mutanthalibut

If all Censoring of Adult films were to be removed tomorrow Childporn would still be illegal because of the obvious reason-consent

If you haven't worked it out i was talking about porn with adults involved

I'll say it again....censoring a product on this side of the street when you can buy the full version on the other is stupidity

You either have worldwide censorship or none at all IMO

Ok I agree it was a bad example.

If all censorship was abolished(which like yourself I agree with) how would you control what is deemed to be acceptable? and how could you stop the material like Jizabell mentioned(or worse)at the start of this thread being made?
