New Cambria Self Censorship List
 

Paul Cambria is one of the preeminent first amendent attorneys working in the adult industry - he represents alot of hardcore video studios/producers, including i guess now LFP (Larry Flynt Productions). Here is the new list of prohibited sexual acts and behaviour LFP shooters were sent. 90% of hardcore porn currently being shot would be in danger of an obscenity charge/conviction according to Cambria's new list.

To all LFP Video directors and editors:

The following guidelines must be followed for all video and box cover productions:

1. no shots with the appearance of pain or degradation
2. no Bukkake
3. no spitting or saliva mouth to mouth
4. no food as a sex object
5. no urination at all
6. no blindfolds
7. no wax dripping
8. no bondage or bondage type toys or gear, unless very light
9. no hands from two different people fingering the same girl
10. no male/male penetration
11. no transsexuals
12. no degrading dialogue
13. no menstruation topics
14. no incest topics
15. no forced sex or rape themes
16. no bestiality
17. no hands(s) around someone?s neck

Porn without borders renders the DOJ meaningless... VISA on the other hand...

10. no male/male penetration
11. no transsexuals

I'm not a fan of these but I'd have a hard time thinking the DOJ would be stupid enough to go after gay sex and call it obscene.

Civil rights groups would be all over that like stink on shit.

and
4. no food as a sex object
6. no blindfolds
9. no hands from two different people fingering the same girl


seem pretty stupid as well..

The rest are probably doable on the DOJ's part if it's extreme stuff..

Cambria is somthing of a Chicken Little type guy - but in some state counties - hell yea just shooting gay sex could end up in an obscenity charge - which is why smart people dont set up shop in places like that.

Given the idiocy of that list - they best be informing NBC, CBS, ABC, FOX and all the other networks and tell`em to close up shop. On any given night, its not difficult to see many of the acts listed on mainstream network broadcasts.

"Degrading" is subjective. I find any dialogue uttered by Pamela Anderson degrading to the collective intelligence of women.

Guess we'll never see anyone bound or gagged in Law & Order any longer. No death by choking. No incest episodes on SVU.

Just one more clear indicator that the U.S. feds are so incredibly fucked, its laughable.

I think they want us to make certain types of porn that "they" like.

no blindfolds?
no hands from two different people fingering the same girl?

Umm who comes up with this shit?
It is definatly some specialty stuff, I am sorry if the DOJ or any Law prefers acts other than those listed but the world is a bigger place than they are...

We supply the entire world here and we can not make porn for such a small minority that caters to only the DOJ's tastes.
This is ludicris.

2. no Bukkake
6. no blindfolds
12. no degrading dialogue

wow. #2 I can understand, and #12 is so ridiculous, but has #6 been a problem for a long time? is that really too taboo?
.

Lets see on our dvd's.

1. no shots with the appearance of pain or degradation - Semi guilty
2. no Bukkake -Semi guilty
3. no spitting or saliva mouth to mouth - Guilty
4. no food as a sex object
5. no urination at all
6. no blindfolds - Guilty
7. no wax dripping
8. no bondage or bondage type toys or gear, unless very light -Guilty
9. no hands from two different people fingering the same girl -Guilty
10. no male/male penetration
11. no transsexuals
12. no degrading dialogue -Guilty
13. no menstruation topics
14. no incest topics
15. no forced sex or rape themes
16. no bestiality
17. no hands(s) around someone?s neck -Guilty

Doubt we will be changing anything though.

now how do you produce something interesting within those guidelines?
You have to understand that penthouse doesnt have to cross lines anymore. So that list was a "play it safe list."
but as with any business risk is always there... Whether its real estate, the market, or investing in a cafe. You have to risk something to reap something.
That's business.

It's one of the funniest things I have read for a while. Do you truly think that there is no difference between a 1 hour porn video showing a girl getting raped in great detail compared with a suggestion of attack in 15 seconds on an a episode of SVU?

Do you not understand the difference between someone bound a gagged as part of a dramatic show (say, L&O) compared to a girl bound and gaged and forced to have sex without consent in an hour video that shows that action in great detail?

The only thing that makes these things similar is the bizarre absolutes that are used in junior debate squads.

So, what about fisting?

These keyboard lawyers who dont know shit are funny. Cambria is probably the greatest first amendment lawyer that ever lived and you fools think you know better lol.

We have had Mr. Cambria representing us since the 1900's and while the firm's advice is often times very conservative- your chances with Mr. Cambria on Your Side are a lot higher than should he be on the other side...

The risk-reward scenario is something that is difficult to quantify btw imho. You risk, get rewarded and then get all the rewards and then some stripped away later if you assume the wrong sort of risk for the time's we live in.

Happy risking :1orglaugh

If you possessed any degree of intellect and comprehension, you'd have realized that's not what I said whatsoever. What I'm saying is there are acts on that list that are shown regularly on network television. You've chosen the extreme example of rape rather than consentual/lifestyle bondage in your comparison - knee jerk (or, as you ironically call it - "junior debate tactics").

It comes down to the government justifying their war against the porn industry partially by claiming it affects the behavioral patterns of the viewers. If this were actually the case (which its never been proven to be) - then they should also be going after the mainstream networks for the violence and everything else they portray on primetime television.

Do you not understand the difference between BDSM and non-consentual acts? You've only used rape and non-consentual sex as a platform for your opposing viewpoint.

Ironic.

After re-reading the thread - I failed to find where anyone was attacking or contradicting Cambria. But rather, the focus seems to be rightfully against the government. Cambria is the messenger...making advisements to the industry as he sees fit.
