I didn't say it was illegal. Maybe things have changed recently but I had mild bondage content seized under Customs Memorandum D9-1-1.
Sexually explicit "books, printed paper, drawings, paintings, prints, photographs, movie film, phonograph records, videotapes, audiotapes and representations of any kind" are subject to tariff code 9956 as outlined in the updated (September, 1994) Revenue Canada, Customs Memorandum D9-1-1. These are to be screened and prohibited from entering the country if they meet the criteria for obscenity. If they fail to meet these criteria, they are to be allowed in, or withheld for review.
Now that that's set up, we can all review the details of the obscenity criteria. "...undue exploitation of sex...crime, horror, cruelty, and violence." We agree that those are a little vague, so we work out the details: "sex with...violence, submission, coercion, ridicule, degradation, exploitation or humiliation of any human being..." Bestiality (sex with animals) and necrophilia (sex with dead people) are not to be depicted or implied. Depictions of sexual assault or sexual activity that appear to be without consent or by force or deception are also out.
Bondage, servitude, external control in a sexual context, and depictions associating sexual gratification with pain or mutilation of any hahahaha part are sufficient for prohibition. Incest, pedophilia and murder in a sexual context had best be banned, and so should depictions of menstrual blood, fecal matter, and urine as part of sexual arousal
