Until 2000 it was banned.
Even when they allowed it, they have (and still do) have it only allowed at the min level to be in line with EU law.
For instance to buy a porn dvd you must go onto a licensed sex shop. You cannot have a porn dvd posted to you unless its from outside the UK into the UK.
In the UK we are also one of the very few countries that censor all films. For this privilege you have to pay many thousands of pounds for the film sensors to see your film (regardless if its porn or not) before you can sell it on dvd or show it at the cinema in the UK.
