Not to generalize, but from having lived in London for a while, many of the people I've met are quite adventurous when it comes to sex. I moved there with this assumption that most people would be a bit stand offish on sex, or very uptight about it, but what I got was the opposite, and this is from people of all backgrounds. Some of the "classiest" people I know, watch the babe channels, go to interesting events of a sexual nature that are catered to the "elite" etc. Also, when it comes to TV adverts, there is actual nudity in them, whereas in America there is not. There was even a meat commercial once where a piece of cooked meat was split into, showing pink color, and the voice over was of a man and woman moaning, going wild as they exclaimed how much they loved pink, all while moaning sexually. If you saw this in America, the ad would likely have been pulled from TV, with possible fines for whoever broadcast it.
I get a much more cheeky vibe in London than in anywhere I've been to in America.
When it comes to TV and movies, it seems as if violence is frowned upon, but nudity and sexuality less so in the U.K, which is the opposite of the U.S, to a certain extent.
These are just more reasons why I don't get the censorship on adult channels. If we can see bare asses in butter commercials and on morning shows, how in any way is a vagina going to harm anyone on an adult channel after the watershed????? Is Ofcom on crazy glue
Why have adult channels at all if a normal body part can't even be seen??? It makes Ofcom very hypocritical, since they allow more of this on non adult TV, even with mutilation at times if a show is showcasing fetishes. To me that's certainly far worse than a normal body part on clearly labled channels that can be blocked.
The teleshopping excuse makes little sense to me, because what teleshopping channels allow bare asses and breasts??? Not any I've heard of, so this must be some anti vagina paranoia from Ofcom, and a way for them to have too much power over these channels.
