New Extreme Pornography Laws in the UK

April 30th, 2008 · No Comments

OK… Watching violent porn / extreme porn is something a lot of people do - while I personally find the idea of watching a film which portrays (with consenting, professional actors of course) a rape distasteful to the point of mild nausea, I understand that some otherwise well adjusted people want to watch this sort […]
