Mmmm.. sure, this the problem when trash media start pumping sensationalism - if they push hard enough, chances are there could be a change in legislation or the guidelines for obscenity.
Always noticed stuff like bondage/spanking blah has always attracted legal activity - even mild versions. For almost 20 years (70's-80's) the Obscene Publications Squad had weekly standing orders to visit certain warehouses and check for this type of content. One warehouse was visited every Thursday afternoon and they usually removed a few cartons of "stock" (mostly US imported mags). That was then shown in court in the hope of getting a seize and destroy order - sometimes successful, sometimes not - in which case they returned the material. This area has always been a running battle
