Urine for a Dearth of Squirting Video, Australia

Female ejaculation banned from film in Australia.

Apparently the Classification Board will now consider scenes containing female ejaculation to be "refused classification" and therefore prohibited.

(I couldn't resist posting this, but it should be noted that the article I link contains only hearsay. Searches on the issue produced only links back to the linked article. Also, mods may think this is better placed in the Sex Forum?)

I'm guessing there's no women on the Classification Board?

I just wanted to post in this thread.

I'm sure this is going to piss some people off.

Anyone else remember when Australia tried to tax tampons? That was an epic protest.

Unless, you know...you're into that.

Its a crying shame Australia's 'I love golden showers' lobby isn't more powerful.

Seriously, I don't want to pretend like I know enough about the whole debate surrounding the whole concept of squirting to make any kind of statement of fact, but take the Classification Board's ruling at face value & say, just say that they're totally right. How come golden shower fetishists can't get their porn breakfast on?

People's puritanical instincts make sense to me, there's a lot of porn out there that I find objectionable on any number of visceral or logical levels, but I'm not walking around with a giant rubber BANNED stamp in my hand.

What's up with you Australia? Explain your objections to a Healthy Porn Breakfast to me.

While I'm completely against banning most kinky porn, I can see maybe a warning label required for lots of fetishes. At least so you can know what you're getting into. I remember clicking a link to a gallery of a scat orgy once not knowing it and it completely ruined my mood.
(for at least five minutes)
I've also seen plenty of peeing in what seems on the surface to be otherwise fairly mainstream fare, and it annoyed me.
Again, I'm generally against censorship, but am all for a warning.

Yeah, people with non-mainstream sexual fetishes should be made to feel as marginalized as a smoker at a day care just so your poor eyes don't have to be offended. I'm pretty sure the non-piss-porn-lovers of the world will get over that ONE time they accidentally clicked on the wrong video link.

Also, what the fuck does any of this have to do with Australia a) deciding that anything that comes out from between a woman's legs that isn't blood or a baby must be piss & b) that Australia bans non-mainstream-fetish porn?

The US has a strange ongoing battle between its libertarian free-speech tradition and its puritan history.

So do we.

In a sense, our puritan lobby is "less" powerful, except that we don't have the same kind of First Amendment protection that's available in the US. So our puritans can, in effect, achieve more with less.

I live pretty close to the heart of Sydney's kink culture, walking distance from brothels, strip clubs, and burlesque and fetish venues. I expect I could purchase lots of stuff that's refused classification from some of the adult shops nearby in Kings Cross. That doesn't make me less annoyed about the legal situation though.

The Eros Foundation (mentioned in the OP's link) does good work trying to keep up the good fight.

so, you've got recreational materials that have been banned by the government but which are easily available on almost any street corner? damn, maybe the US should have declared a war on porn instead of a war on drugs. at least you don't have entire cities burning themselves to the ground over porn just across your southern border. (alternatively, i suppose the US could look into getting an ocean across the whole of our southern border.)

MAN FOUND DEAD IN ARIZONA DESERT WITH 18 HARDCORE PORNOGRAPHY DVDS IN COLON

I'm sure Australian's would still be able to find squirting videos online, of course those that are into it anyway

wait... squirting isn't real?

It's only not real in Australia.

We're like Strawberry Fields.

Subtle sarcasm is a dangerous thing to attempt in the boards, especially when drinking. The scat story is true, though.
I'm generally appalled by this story, and the puritanical mindset that inspires these kind of legislative moves. Not nearly as appalled as I was by talk of that proposed Australian firewall a while back, which would have had far-reaching implications for far more than just female ejaculation in porn.
Every new little bit of shit like this that prudish assholes weasel in bit by bit is another step on the road to authoritarian oppression.

What the hell, government? Uncool!

The only squirting in Australia is blood from a toad's eye, mate.

I think as per this news Australia's "down under" status should be officially revoked. I'm calling the United Nations.

This thread is pure gold.

Another case of ignorant people trying to dictate reality with there antiquated beliefs.

So you can find flying monkeys, talking lions and American wizards in Oz, but no squirters... some magical land that turned out to be.
