Ofcom Discussion

Ofcom will be happy when women can no longer be seen to be publicly arousing men; full stop. Why should this be the case? Because homosexuals and sexual deviants in high political offices are utilizing the smokescreen of Governmental moral concern to suppress what they are fearful and jealous of (women's power to delight the senses). They have no regard for logic, truth, or justice where the issue of female public nudity is concerned; just an emotional refusal to accept what their own perverse sexuality cannot contend with; and compels them to feel insecure and LIMP.

Ofcon allow it on UK TV.
I cannot vouch for the gay channels but I'm sure that equal opportunities would prevail on them.
It shows the utter hypocrisy of our television censor (and our government).

My mistake. I thought hatessexistofcon was referring to mainstream TV.

But in that case, isn't his argument still flawed? I don't watch any of PPV adult channels, but are you telling me erections are allowed, but female genitalia isn't?

When I watched both Playboy Group & TVX (admittedly a while ago) Playboy Group was much more explicit. Plenty of full-on nudity, and erect penises. TVX was, I thought, quite tame. I'd never subscribe long term to them at all.

Latest Ofcom Audience attitudes study published
...
In the past five years, there have been falls in the number of viewers saying there is ‘too much’ violence (35% of adult viewers in 2013, down from 55% in 2008), sex (26% in 2013 versus 35% in 2008) and swearing (35% in 2013 versus 53% in 2008) on TV.

One reason for this is a change in attitude among older viewers. The number of viewers over 65 who believe there is too much swearing (78% in 2008 compared to 55% in 2013) and violence (75% in 2008 compared to 52% in 2013) has fallen over the past five years.

Among those adults who had been offended by something on TV in the last 12 months (18% of adult viewers), nearly four times more people are likely to continue watching the programme than in 2008 (5% in 2008 versus 19% in 2013) and less likely to turn off the TV altogether (32% in 2008 compared to 19% in 2013).

I don't think so, unfortunately.

We have Middle England expressing outrage on the Right & The Sisterhood expressing outrage on the Left.
What a fucking depressing situation.

A plea to UK politicians: Please let us grow up.

Probably not a good time to expect a sympathetic reaction from any politician on sex related matters.

Ofcom Chief Exec makes a barely concealed bid to take over BBC Trust role.

Because Ofcom is fully of people with heavyweight experience of running billion pound budgets and actually making thousands of hours of drama that attracts audiences in large numbers. Yeah right.

Since when, outside of medical and sex educational programmes, have erections been allowed? Give me some examples.

I see what you mean but strippers on channel 4 had an erection in a penis pump.Sexters on channel 5 had big erection on it with foreskin fully retracted.I am fighting for equal genital nudity I am not interested in graphic shagging..If these channels 3,4,5 in uk started showing female genitals the way they portray male I will shut up but they don't and they have NEVER give a valid reason.There is no reason unless Ofcom are lying to me ..I cannot get an answer the tv companys don't respond to me anymore silly scared gits.

I would love to know who does the editing/blurring on the docus? is it the tv company or the company that makes them? There are a lot of them,TWO/FOUR media,Firecracker even Endomol etc.
