*YAWN*
How many ways would you like me to prove that this legislation is a good idea?
1) Humanity is progressive: I don't want to live in a world were humans inflict pain on other humans (imitation or not) for whatever reason.
2) Have you read the stonewall case? I presume not, it debated as to whether consensual grievous bodily harm was legal. (Go buy a book or visit your local library fucktards)
3) If possession of this material should be legal, and prosecution should be based on action then surely my possession of heroin, a gun and plutonium are all perfectly legal unless I DO something with them?
4) Australia and Canada (which has conducted some of the most in-depth studies of the causes of rape) both have higher rates of rape than the UK and Japan and Denmark have less it is agreed by most legal professionals that the rate of reported rape is more to do with the difficulty in prosecuting rapists than laxity of pornography laws.
5) Many sexuality experts have come to the conclusion that the internet has allowed access to diverse sexually explicit material and has led to an increase in diverse sexual activity due to perceived acknowledgement and sanction of a variety of previously taboo sexual practices.
6) Firming up this legal point strengthens that case for prosecution lawyers in sexual assault cases, which may be explained away as 'consensual.'
