Ofcon allow it on UK TV.
I cannot vouch for the gay channels but I'm sure that equal opportunities would prevail on them.
It shows the utter hypocrisy of our television censor (and our government).
My mistake. I thought hatessexistofcon was referring to mainstream TV.
But in that case, isn't his argument still flawed? I don't watch any of PPV adult channels, but are you telling me erections are allowed, but female genitalia isn't?

RE: Ofcom Discussion
Latest Ofcom Audience attitudes study published
...
In the past five years, there have been falls in the number of viewers saying there is ‘too much’ violence (35% of adult viewers in 2013, down from 55% in 2008), sex (26% in 2013 versus 35% in 2008) and swearing (35% in 2013 versus 53% in 2008) on TV.
One reason for this is a change in attitude among older viewers. The number of viewers over 65 who believe there is too much swearing (78% in 2008 compared to 55% in 2013) and violence (75% in 2008 compared to 52% in 2013) has fallen over the past five years.
Among those adults who had been offended by something on TV in the last 12 months (18% of adult viewers), nearly four times more people are likely to continue watching the programme than in 2008 (5% in 2008 versus 19% in 2013) and less likely to turn off the TV altogether (32% in 2008 compared to 19% in 2013).

I don't think so, unfortunately.
We have Middle England expressing outrage on the Right & The Sisterhood expressing outrage on the Left.
What a fucking depressing situation.
A plea to UK politicians: Please let us grow up.

Since when, outside of medical and sex educational programmes, have erections been allowed? Give me some examples.
I see what you mean but strippers on channel 4 had an erection in a penis pump.Sexters on channel 5 had big erection on it with foreskin fully retracted.I am fighting for equal genital nudity I am not interested in graphic shagging..If these channels 3,4,5 in uk started showing female genitals the way they portray male I will shut up but they don't and they have NEVER give a valid reason.There is no reason unless Ofcom are lying to me ..I cannot get an answer the tv companys don't respond to me anymore silly scared gits.
I would love to know who does the editing/blurring on the docus? is it the tv company or the company that makes them? There are a lot of them,TWO/FOUR media,Firecracker even Endomol etc.
