I find it VERY interesting that this is a split ruling on the titles:

I know how weird.
This whole "obscenity" law just absolutely dumbfounds me. Having a jury decide that filming getting your face cum on by a bunch of guys at once is OK, but choking on a cock should get you sent to prison. When juries come to conclusions like that, how in the HELL is anyone suppose to "guess" what is or is not illegal to film? |

I'm wondering if the jury felt that the whole gagging thing was a "violent" act towards the women?
So while standard sex, or anal sex, or even bukakka appears as a voluntary enjoyable sex act for the woman, the jury felt that "gagging" isn't an enjoyable experience? I have no idea, but am disappointed that the jury didn't tell the government to get the hell out of their bedrooms. ![]() |

I think the jury drew the line at what they thought was forced, violent sex.
BUT , if they had been shown other videos that are sold in Phoenix they might have come down with a Not Guilty verdict. I am looking forward to the results of the appeal, but for now, at least in Arizona, bukakke is not obscene. Nor are the acts depicted in Filthy Things 6. I guess that makes the fundamentalist's argument that ALL porn is obscene sound pretty stupid ![]()

The whole problem is they convict on what is "offensive".
I could convict 75% of all prime time TV sitcoms on that principle since the level of stupidity in them is "offensive" to me as I feel like they are insulting my intelligence to think I want to see that shit.

The whole gagging thing can be taken as violence towards women. I personally dont see it as a turn on at all, it seems more of an angry act to me.

Ah yes, the "local community standards" trap that can trip up even the most cautious webmasters - truth is that most any adult website, no matter how tame it seems to many of us, is likely in violation of "local community standards" somewhere in the U.S.
Many adult websites work to minimize such risk by disallowing signups from certain areas and/or hiding behind a bunch of shell companies that are basically shadows too expensive / hassle to traceback... Fortunately for most adult business folks, the authorities tend to target the very, very low fruit (often there's some warning; foreshadowing of trouble) - in this instance, the authorities went after a company that shipped physical product to what's likely considered a "problem" zipcode by many in the business. In the view of many, obscenity laws go against the 1st amendment (some scholars debate otherwise in it doesn't preclude local govts enacting limits) ... but regardless, such restrictions definitely go against the spirit of freedom of speech and expression in general; violation of basic human rights of legal consenting adults to live their lives free of draconian restrictions on activities that aren't hurting others. With all that said, the jury's ruling is somewhat bizarre, since bukakke is considered very obscene by many far more than cocksucking. Ron

We'd all like a clear line to know how far we can go but that clear line would also be a limit of expression and no one would want that either. It's clear that there is a limit where it appears to be activity that no one would reasonably submit too. And just because some desparate person with no money does submit, does not mean it is "reasonable". The jury just thought nobody except a desparate person or fool would submit to being bascially chocked repeatedly by something in their throat. Not necessarily a fact, but they had to decide the fact.

There is no true limit in the law, because tastes change.
Those of you out there will remember that on "I Love Lucy", they had seperate single beds in their bedroom. That's right, married couple that were portayed as sleeping apart on TV because the world wasn't ready for a married couple together in bed. That is an extreme case, but it does show how things move and slide over time. 40 years ago, pretty much any porn would have been considered obscene in one manner or another. Now we have a clear indiction that Bukkake is okay, which is huge. That covers facial cumshots, group sex, etc. Huge. Gagging is one of those things. I never though much of it mostly because it doesn't seem to be enjoyable. Just not my style I guess. I think the porn industry could easily exist with more bukkake and a little less gagging... |

This is huge news. The fact they found any of the titles obscene is very very bad news for all of that are producers.

I think all it says is that the "community standard" in Phoenix was slightly defined for this case. You could have a different case, different jury, decide that something more vanilla was obscene. That's the biggest problem with obscenity cases is that they are extremely subjective. There is no line drawn in the sand. Even this case doesn't draw a line, it merely provided a definition for this scenario and that's it. I truly believe you could show that tape to a different set of jurors and get a no problem vote, whereas something completely different could set off an entirely alternate set of jurors. 12 people chosen to represent a population of over 2 million is not a good representation at all. The way they go jury hunting is also extremely inappropriate; if they want a true random representation, then if you get called for jury duty, your number gets drawn from a hat and boom...you are on the case. Many of these problem areas of law need to be more specifically visited and defined, not just left for cases to decide arbitrarily. The entire copyright discussion is entirely along this line of thinking. Draw lines in the sand and say .... DON'T CROSS THIS LINE, IF YOU DO YOU WILL BE PUNISHED. If gagging is obscene.... define it as obscene... define beastiality, child porn, etc etc.... make them the letter of the law. if someone pushes the boundaries with something new..... they are OK until the law is amended to include that action as well. If something in the law becomes outdated, the law should be revisited and amended to remove exclusions if the public deems that it should be (who knows... in the future, gagging may be a perfectly acceptable sexual action, right???) my ![]()

gagging???
how long ago did Deep Throat come out? and bukkake?? I thought almost every porn has a guy or two slooging on a woman's face.... {yawn} ... it's all been done in varying degrees forever and this stuff is consensual so the government should get the fuck out of it

You just don't get it. This case wasn't about "hey do you like this porn would you jerk off to it" it was about whether or not the producer should go to jail for making it and distributing it. The clear answer is NO, because it was made by and for CONSENTING ADULTS. You have this attitude (not just here but in alot of these threads over the years) of "why do they do this extreme shit it just makes it harder on the rest of us"....."well they were stupid for shooting porn in Florida so they deserve what they get" You either support the first amendment or you don't man, it seems to me that you don't. You only seem to support it when it's something that you like or produce. ![]() As for the political issues, the biggest porn boom came under Clinton because the internet boom also came under Clinton. There is no politician or political party that is our friend, all of them would gladly step on our faces if they thought it would get them one extra vote. Personally I do vote democrat most of the time, but I'm not under any illusion that they like me or wouldn't prosecute me if it was politically beneficial to them.
