Sir and Boy ~ Beating around the Bush ~ Cover
Sir is holding a bircher in this cover which is a bunch of birch twigs bundled together and used for impact play. This will be a story about that, which means I spent a long time looking up UK pornography laws and the obscene publications act to make sure I don’t accidentally draw something I’m not allowed to. I picked Dog Roses for this cover because in the language of flowers they mean ‘pleasure and pain’.
Hold on tight folks, in my notes this is an angst level 4 (out of a possible 5) so get ready for some hurty men.
This entire story (and one more) is available over on my patreon. As well as helping to support my work (which is really appreciated right now) you’ll get extra updates and can help me chose the next stories I’ll be doing (which may or may not include some lady gays…)
As someone not from the UK, I’m curious. What specifically aren’t you allowed to draw, and why does it only come up in this situation but not shoving household implements into places they were never intended to go or chaining people up and switching them? Seems awfully selective, especially considering the porn in question is drawn and there’s no chance of anyone actually being injured by whatever’s being depicted.
I think it’s relevant that genitalia is never shown–the rules for written pornography are almost always looser (*ahem*). I would imagine there are also laws concerning blood/injury/violence?
There are laws about violence in porn that have come to pass recently in the UK, which is why she has to be careful with impact play where she didn’t in the previous story. tab is quite right to be careful!
Right on all counts except I’m a guy!
Sorry, replying before coffee makes for stupid gothy
But how would a bircher be worse than a whip, which has already been depicted?
Yes! Finally!
Honestly, I think there’s no need to worry, unless I’m misunderstanding something. The law specifies that, for everything except CP, it’s only prosecutable if “a reasonable person would think the person depicted was real”.
At the time of drawing this we had some more severe censorship laws that came in for a few years banning depiction of impact play (as well as fisting and squirting), but was quietly repealed shortly after
