The details regarding the UK porn ban are getting sillier by the day, as now news has emerged that the so-called “experts” behind the ban, who were put in charge of deciding which sex acts would no longer be allowed to be shown in UK porn, decided that female ejaculation was indeterminable from urination, another sex act which faced the chop from UK-produced porn.

The ban was handled by the British Board of Film Classification (BBFC), who stamped the same tired rules applicable to porn DVDs made in the UK to porn available online and on video-on-demand. The ban has been enforced by the government due to a change in the 2003 Communications Act, and you can read a full list of the banned sex acts right here.
Speaking to Vice, a spokesperson for the BBFC said: “According to the advice we take from the police and the CPS, sex works featuring urolagnia [the gaining of sexual pleasure from urination] are likely to be considered obscene.
“Therefore, unless it’s very clear that what is being shown is indeed ‘female ejaculation’, as opposed to urolagnia, the Board’s position has to be that scenes of this nature featuring liquid that might be urine have to be cut. The situation is further complicated, for us, by the fact that medical advice we have taken has suggested that some scenes submitted to us that purported to show ‘female ejaculation’ were, in fact, urination.”
So basically, the BBFC panel and these “experts” thought that female ejaculation looked too similar to a woman peeing, so decided to ban it from all UK porn. And men? Well, they can still ejaculate however and whenever they please, because these experts could tell the different between male ejaculation and piss so decided to let them off the hook. We bet these guys are really fun at parties.
