Over the weekend it was reported that porn websites could be banned if they don't follow a strict set of rules which have the aim of making adult content less accessible.
Now, another possible blow could be hitting the porn industry. The Digital Economy Bill is also aiming to ban certain sex acts from the X-rated films, stomping out some of your favourite freaky shit.
I'm sure none of us will miss weird stuff like Oculolinctus, Plushophilia, Reptilophilia or Tentacle porn, as certain things deemed 'non-conventional' could face being banished.
As of yet there is nothing too specific on what could face the wrath of the Digital Economy Bill, but examples like "penetration by any object associated with violence" have been mentioned. So, if for some reason you're turned on by your kitchen utensils, hard luck.
Another restriction reportedly includes the "four-finger rule", which limits the number of digits that can be inserted into an orifice for sexual stimulation. I'm not sure whether this rule is determined by Kit-Kats or not, but if it is then all strands of chocolate bar should be okay (Chunky, two finger, four finger).
According to The Guardian, pictures and videos "showing spanking, whipping or caning that leaves marks, and sex acts involving urination, female ejaculation or menstruation as well as sex in public" will potentially be banned. There are a few questions to take from that. I'll let you ask yourself.
If these rules are as strict as they're reported, FakeTaxi could face the chop. The taxi service, which has quickly become everybody's favourite private hire, is filmed in public - although it is set up.
"In making this assessment, we will apply the standards that we apply to pornography that is distributed offline," a spokeswoman for the British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) told The Guardian. "If a website fails on either of these [age verification or obscene content] tests then a notification of non-compliance will be sent to the site."
Porn producers and activists are reportedly enraged by the proposed bill, especially those who make 'giantess' videos and 'forniphilia' (behaving like a piece of furniture).
"The BBFC is not being asked to police the internet. The focus of this legislation is to protect children with the same safeguards online as as they have offline," a spokeswoman for the BBFC added.
