What baffles me is that some sexual acts are completely legal to perform (such as fisting, watersports)... but illegal to film/publish under the Obscene Publications Act, on the basis that they are likely to 'deprave and corrupt'... *sigh*
As a side note... Did anyone happen to follow the court case of Michael Peacock last year (think it was known as the Obscenity Trial?). Worth googling and reading about if you're interested in Obscenity Laws. Plus Myles Jackson the lawyer who represented him (and other high profile OPA trials) has pretty interesting blog/twitter accounts under the name 'Obscenity Lawyer' too
I followed the trial closely and nearly flipped the table I was sat at when I heard the not guilty verdict
