Under BBFC rules 'mild' bondage/fetish material is allowed, when it is consensual and does not inflict harm.. Flogging will probably be a no-no (has been prosecuded under OPA in the last couple of years I think), or anything that would leave bruising/welts etc.

I can see this going to the human rights court, as this has to do with peoples lifestyles, and privacy. Two things we are supposed to be guarenteed (although it's a joke in most cases).
