Should extreme sadomasochism be legal?

[This charming man.]

Should it be legal or illegal to indulge in extreme forms of sadomasochism, that is, inflicting pain and humiliation for sexual pleasure?

[anon x]

Yes,it should.

[yesitis]

of course it should. if everyone involved is happy with the situation.

I was under the impression it was legal?

i'm pretty sure you can still do whatever you want with another consenting adult in the privacy of your own home. if, however, you have images of certain acts you could be fucked pretty soon.

"a reasonable person looking at the image would think that any such person or animal was real."

"The term covers staged acts, and applies whether or not the participants consent."

Ridiculous!

Vivienne Westwood's son's lunch boxes are going to illegal after this silly law comes into force:

*Ben Westwood's campaign against the forthcoming Government bill to ban "extreme pornography" is stepping up a gear.

The photographer, son of fashion doyenne Dame Vivienne, has designed a series of collectable lunchboxes bearing the sort of pornographic images which will in effect become illegal when the Criminal Justice and Immigration Act 2008 becomes law in January 2009.

Delightfully, he's planning to release one such box depicting the Home Secretary, Jacqui Smith, bound and gagged. Westwood had hoped to project the image on to the Houses of Parliament, but has been advised by the Palace of Westminster Police that he must seek prior consent from the crimson-coiffed Serjeant-at-Arms, Jill Pay.

Between consenting adults, yes.

Oh yes I remember when that law was being talked about in Bizarre mag, most of the time the pictures are just fantasy. If people are allowed to take drugs in their own homes....why not let them enjoy that side of sex

[crimes]

Of course it should be legal. Whatever happens between two (or however many) consenting adults is no one elses business and it won't harm anyone else. It annoys me to think that things I do in the bedroom or at a playspace could be judged by someone else (who probably has a boring sex life, lets face it people) as being wrong and unlawful. Clearly it's not wrong if everyone involved is having a GREAT FUCKING TIME.

[Oh my god, it's Robby!]

well, if you want to go extreme, realize you might be going to far
but personally, there aint nothing wrong with a little rope bondage*



*=i thought about putting some pics here, but i am better than that

I suppose an argument against could be that if one of the parties is injured then the NHS (and thus the taxpayer)has to stump up to fix 'em.

I don't touch kids, animals or the dead but I'm all for everything else. Apart from scat. And felching (unless its the guy sucking his own seed out of my ass).

This is true. Like smokers and fatties shouldn't be treated.

But then again,that could be an argument against car drivers too.
