Lets take Irreversible for example, 12 minutes shown worldwide of a woman being anal raped. You can purchase this movie in many store or online for as little as a few bob.

Then lets take the Russian stuff, That wonderful acting we see (rape porn) when we all know fine well that its all put on.

My argument is, mainstream movies show more emotion in the rape scene than the majority of rape porn.

I recently posted the rape scene from GBH - A British movie I may add, which features the rape of a lady police officer, now what i found interesting in this scene was the youths standing around watching this happen and recording it on their phones.

My point in this is - rape porn is standard role play pish, yet mainstream movies that feature rape scenes are probably more likely to heighten peoples adrenaline.

So does this mean that all mainstream movies made moving forward will not be able to feature rape scenes? or that just in the UK we will not be able to own a copy?.

The debate is interesting how people who get off watching rape scenes - are now effectively being classed as pedo's as if we download or watch too much then that's what will happen to us.

Reality is that - before internet was born, child abuse always went on, from Priests to these children homes we hear about in the press nowadays, it is a tragic thing in life. These people that commit these crimes, dont need to watch online videos, unfortunately if they are going to do it, then they will.

I think the UK gov have made a huge mistake here.

and Im sure there is more to come.

Besides - the UK government should be concentrating on - Immigration, unemployment, the banking system, oh and of course fraud expense claims from MP's.

I think these issues are as important if not more.

Well put. I would also add the inconsistency that it is OK to see a woman tortured, dismembered and put to a prolonged and awful painful death in first person graphic detail in a mainstream movie, but to watch a Russian rape video with actors who can barely stop giggling is illegal.
