Pornography to be allowed on TV

Sex education my arse, nothing but an artsy educational voyeuristic excuse for a tv programme in order to show a vagina but who I am to complain. I don't remember having sex eduaction like that back in my day all we got was boring diagrams to look at.

You poor sod. Back in my day we watched a film of a couple bonking (I think they wrote or posed for the drawings in The Joy of Sex book which was all the rage).

There used to be several For Schools sex ed programmes on between 10am and midday - Living and Growing was a favourite of mine (always had lots of natural nudity and annoted/animated explanations of the changes we all go through at puberty).

I've watched this latest series of The Sex Ed Show on 4OD and it is very much a sexual eduaction programme that really SHOULD be on when kids who are no doubt being brainwashed with ideas that sex and sex organs are 'disgusting' (via subliminal messages from the likes of the Government, BBFC and, of course, Ofcom, not to metion religious fuckwits and stalwarts of 'Victorian Values') can be reassured its all perfectly nice, normal, safe and fun.

Balance needs restoring. Sex isn't evil or dangerous when practiced in a caring and consensual environment between people who know how to look after their own health and wellbeing and who understand how to pleasure themselves and their partner.

And of course, the best way to achieve all this is though sexual openness, honesty, demystification, frankness and acceptance that we are all SEXUAL BEINGS with inherant, natural and normal sexual needs and desires that are necessary for our own survival and wellbeing.

If British society cannot cope with the sexual truth then British society isn't worth saving or protecting. Thankfully British values are changing - the liberation and acceptance of homosexuality was a major leap forward. However, such change is not fast enough for 'we' liberal-minded folks that have seen the beneficial effects of liberation with the availability of legal pornography across much of Europe and the USA over the past 40 odd years. How much longer do the British authorities think they can keep up the lies? For they are liars, human rights abusers, cheats and all round scumbags. Enough is enough. The evidence for the harmlessness of pornography and the beneficial effects of proper sexual education and sexual enlightenment is now overwhelming.

The fact Ofcom can find no evidence to contradict what we all know to be true, indeed, what the High Court has already declared to be the legal truth, just stinks of fascism and religiously-inspired cover-up. Ofcom are stuck in the past, lying, evil scum - no two ways about it.

I already paid for a tv and the channels i got i could not give a damn what they do on encyrpted channels........provide a service for your viewers are go out of business.........the internet will force a brand new dawn you wait and see

Internet tv will be commonplace in the next 5 years I'm sure of that so how will ofcom stop the viewing of pornography via the tv which is readily available 24 hours a day on the internet, ofcoms days are numbered.

Don't you think the AVMS Directive will change what Ofcom do and how they can operate re IPTV and On-Demand services?

What about this shiny new "country of reception principle" Mediawatch-UK were so keen to have installed in TV regulation?

Sure, the Comms Act amendments (section 368 etc.) all appear to say if something isn't a real serious threat to young people there's really no need for excessive restrictions on the viewing rights of adults. However, Ofcom admitted several times back in 2004/5 that they had no cause, reason or ability to ban R18-type material according to the TVWF Directive yet, as we're only too aware, that didn't stop them banning R18 material and wrecking FTA sexy TV irrespective of what the law says they're allowed to do.

Don't count your chickens...Ofcom are total arseholes who understand nothing of the purpose of human rights and care even less. But then that's how you know a fascist dictatorship when you see one.
