Possession and publication of such material will be a criminal offence, under amendments to the Crime and Policing Bill.

Online pornography showing strangulation or suffocation is to be made illegal, as part of government plans to tackle violence against women and girls.

It follows a review which found depictions of choking were “rife” on mainstream porn sites and had helped normalise the act among young people.

Both the possession and publication of such material will be a criminal offence, under amendments to the Crime and Policing Bill currently going through Parliament.

    “To what,” he asked knowingly after seeing the exact types of crappy comments one would expect from a proudly self-proclaimed “Christian conservative” in their history.

    I don’t care for that choking crap, either, and I’m not against this ban as it seems to me the near-constant presence of it in porn normalizes it to far too many and that’s potentially quite dangerous. However, when you say something like that, and your comment history includes you proudly proclaiming that you’re a “Christian conservative”… Well, I can only imagine where your control freak tendencies are likely to take things, and that’s extremely likely to be entirely too far.
