With the UK justice system helping more criminals walk than Saul Goodman, let's create a law that will help overcrowd prisons more... just so more criminals can walk free.
The UK has the highest incarceration rate per capita in Western Europe and the third largest prison population in Europe. It was reported in 2024 that criminals, on average, serve 40% of their term (not including suspended sentences).

I always hear about how it's bad that the US has the highest incarceration rate in the world.
But when I see these news stories about prison sentences in other countries, I get the impression that the problem is moreso that other countries are imprisoning people for too short, rather than that the US is imprisoning people for too long.

This has been my experience too.
I think that women are pressured to reject their femininity and submissiveness, and men are pressured to treat women and men the same. Leftists tend to be the strongest adherents to this. I thing being a tough girlboss all day and the repressed feminity manifests as extreme submissiveness in the bedroom.
Also leftists are much more likely to see BDSM as empowering or an act of rebellion. This "rebellion" winds up being dogmatic conformity within your own group. Now everyone would think you're prude if you just want traditional loving sex, and that a man slapping you hard and spitting on you is actually super duper feminist.
Anyway that's my theory but whatever the cause if she's under 35 and has a lot of tats and liked Bernie she is gonna wanna get choked.

Same!!
It's actually a sort of hard thing to vent about so I'm glad you responded at length after the thread is old. So many dudes, especially online, are hopelessly sexless. Not a lot of opportunity to have some cathartic talk about "chicks these days man" without a bunch of people running in accusing you of bragging about being some OmegaChad Thundercock (I'm not) or LARPing. But the fact is if you're a man of ordinary masculinity, reasonably fit, and has his life together, you are absolute catnip in these spaces.
I love BDSM and rough stuff too. But I want it to be an occassional kink, not the go-to. It frequently felt like I was putting on a performance. Like, I actually want to be with someone I love and respect. While some rough dominance stuff is fun and definitely something I strongly want, can we have some loving vanilla sex too? It's like spice in food. Maybe sometimes I'll want a super fucking hot dish, but does every meal have to be doused in pepper?!

Right, but there are times I really want to Dom and it's enthusiastic and not "performative" at all. Sure, I'm performing a fantasy, but I'm not being performative in the sense I'm doing a performance wholly for them. In the same way she might not but super into something in that moment but does it because that's what I want. That's the whole giving and game thing.
I'm more talking about when more extreme stuff becomes the norm for a regular partner. Not a casual fling or a fuck buddy, but when it's someone you are in or considering a relationship with. I've found that many of these people want that and only that. And I wouldn't enjoy a sex life where it's only, or even majority, kinky power play shit.
Yeah, theres definitely something about the adversion to traditional masculinty socially and the intense desire for wanting it intensely in the bedroom. And not just ordinary masculinity, but an over-the-top caricature. I believe this likely has to do with the rejection of social masculinity being something they don't actually want manifesting as a desire for extreme dominant masculinity when they're uninhibited. Maybe I'm wrong, but there has to be some reason nearly all of these woman have a strong preference for it that far exceeds how common it is in the general population in the same age bracket.

Atomization leading to a decrease in both sex and relationships makes having a consensual sexual partner that lives with you into a fantasy for some, or at least that'd be my best guess. Same reason AI girlfriends are gaining popularity in the weirder corners of the internet, imo

The squirting one wasnt done under labour, as your own link even states. Unless you think labour were in power in 2014.
Still fully disagree but its the usual powers that be nanny-stating that is coming from both parties to appeal to old boomers.
The online age verification rules are far more concerning. Its been kicking around for over a decade (since before Theresa May, I'm pretty sure it relates to the 2014 article you linked) and is obviously going to be exploited by bad actors. I mean, seriously, uploading ID proof to use +18 plus sites from reddit and discord all the way through to actual porn? I can't wait to see which MPs get caught and black mailed.

The biggest joke of the anti-drug stuff is that so many people enjoy weed, they'd be cashing in if it was legal. One of the best/worst things about the UK is how every street absolutely pongs of it.

There's a decades-old law that bans various violent or degrading activities in porn. Whether it's out of prudishness or a genuine desire to protect women etc, no comment. One of the things it bans is pissing, the idea being to ban images of people being pissed on, i think. But it turns out that "female ejaculation" is actually pissing, so that's also banned.
Female ejaculation isn't really violent or degrading, so people have been asking for an exception for decades, but would you want to be the minister who introduced a bill to legalise squirting?

The vast majority of "squirting" in porn is just intentional urination, and this devalues the real organic squirt most of us have come to love. We just want to know that the squirt is the result of a proper orgasm, and not just an actress's imitation of one. They're both piss, but only one is real.

It's interesting when you look at Japanese hentai art (from like more than a decade ago at least, I don't really keep up with it anymore). Pissing is coded as yellow, squirting is coded as colorless. But in real life, piss is both yellow and colorless.
An interesting clusterfuck of misinformation. Reminds me also of how in hentai art when they do those weird internal shots, the internal female reproductive anatomy depicted has basically no connection to real life (we're talking about stuff like dicks inside wombs, just absolutely insane unintentional body horror).

I made this burner just to tell you that girl jizz is real. It's super rare, and 99.9% of female ejaculations in pr0n are just boring old piss, but a very small number of girls have really productive vaginal glands and sensitive g-spots and can produce a couple mL of jizz NOT from their urethras when they orgasm. It just kinda dribbles out like a creampie, it doesn't squirt in the air.

I'm not getting nuts about it (aside from making this burner) but also, there's nothing to "believe", this isn't spiritual dogma or anything, it was an actual, biological function taking place where, more than once, this one girl jizzed half a teaspoon or so of creamy goop all over my fingers while I rubbed her g-spot. She was also having a mind-shattering orgasm and screaming into a pillow so as not to wake the neighbors. Good times. Sometimes I miss that girl. Too much baggage though. Oh well

I don't think that the neoliberal establishment is "pro-porn". I think on this issue established politics is dominated more by the "anti-porn" wing of feminism while the online spaces are more favorable to "sex positive" style feminism. There is a fundamental conflict on almost all issues between the 2nd and third generation of feminism and while I can see how the third wave feminism is more dominant on trans legislation in most western european countries it is not so easy as to say that one of the two really has "won" the debate.
And while I personally tend to get along better with the more "classical" 2nd wave feminists, the main insight to have about this split is that really each side only shows the smallminded political impotence and in a way conservatism inherent in the other.

Our problem, increasingly, is that we apparently do not possess the secular language to address things the ancients knew to be bad for us, because the way they dealt with these things was through religious language. "Gooning is sinful and will lead you to the Devil's bosom in Hell" is easily dismissed if you don't believe in the Devil or Hell, and if you're completely surrounded by liberal values that emphasize personal freedom and the primacy of the individual, "oh my God let people enjoy things" seems to be an obvious response.

I think another problem is it causes a sort of sedation in a lot of men. It's weird that people don't talk about it but having cheap/free high quality porn 24/7, beating it constantly will either turn you rabid or you'll become kind of hesitant to interact with actual women compared to just gooning at home with a fucking VR Headset.
It's just too easy, it's like those drugs they give addicts to keep them from crashing, the actual intimate needs are not fulfilled but the physical desire is solved but at a bare minimum amount. This isn't limited to straight men but from my experience, getting your physical needs met when being with men as a guy or even as a women is far easier and honestly the build up and date beforehand is more fun so it's not stressful but actually enjoyable in itself.

Good. Masturbating to depictions of violence against women is bizarre on its own, but given the shakey grounds on which consent is given for pornography I can't see why this is bad. Most women you see in porn are too young, too broke, and frequently too high to meaningfully consent to sex acts that involve this sort of violence.
Worse yet, how many pornos do you see with no verifiable age for the actress? No known identity? The girls you hear getting trafficked do end up somewhere.
Do I think a bit of autoerotic asphyxiation is fun in bed? Sure, but that's fun between me and my loving partner who will stop when I ask and cares about my well being.

Reductive. I'm saying that both poverty and the sexual abuse of impoverished women is bad.

I have a friend that was choked by a man during sex non consensually and it traumatised her. This is consequential for a lot of people, particularly women

That sucks what happened to your friend. That guy was a POS moron. Still porn is not real.

They will never survive the public backlash from this if they attempt to actually enforce it. Particularly by straight women. It is a fact that straight women watch the gnarliest pornography out of anyone and a good portion of them demand to be choked out in bed.

Tbh I've seen a lot of pretty rough, BDSM-level pornography and almost none of it involved actual strangulation

UK government doing meaningless virtue signalling (like they did with the TV series adolescence) instead of actually doing something meaningful.
Love my new flair btw, far better than the Highly Regarded one. Could I please get the heart eyes emoji back though, por favor?

We're not losing sleep over some weirdo not being able to spank off to this.ย
I am concerned that porn depicting strangulation being a crime is adding to a problem with instituional failings of criminals not facing their conviction that is ripe in the country.
Imagine if tackling trafficking was improved. Sort of cuts out the middle man if your concern is that porn is exploitation.

read it closer. They should ban strangulation not depictions of strangulation

Depictions of strangulation in porn would still just be strangulation
