**** THE CAMBRIA LIST! If you've never seen it here it is! The Edge - Do's and don'ts
 

Here's the Cambria list if you've never seen it. A lot of people in the industry disagree with some of the items. But it was designed to basically provide insight as to what would or would not position you for an obscenity prosecution by virtue of how far you push the edge in terms of degrading women and such.

On Jan. 18, 2001, Adult Video News reported on the so-called "Cambria List." Paul Cambria, a longtime attorney for the porn industry, was involved in the list's preparation. The list is controversial within the industry and interpretations differ on how it was meant to be applied. Some in the industry say it represents guidelines for the box-covers of adult videos, not for the sex acts they depict. Nevertheless, there is wide agreement that the Cambria List shows how the adult industry is seeking to be more careful, fearing a potential crackdown on pornography by the Bush administration.


The Cambria List:

Box-Cover Guidelines/Movie Production Guidelines

Before selecting a chrome please check facial expression. Do not use any shots that depict any unhappiness or pain.


Do not include any of the following:

No shots with appearance of pain or degradation

No facials (bodyshots are OK if shot is not nasty)

No bukakke

No spitting or saliva mouth to mouth

No food used as sex object

No peeing unless in a natural setting, e.g., field, roadside

No coffins

No blindfolds

No wax dripping

No two dicks in/near one mouth

No shot of stretching pussy

No fisting

No squirting

No bondage-type toys or gear unless very light

No girls sharing same dildo (in mouth or pussy)

Toys are OK if shot is not nasty

No hands from 2 different people fingering same girl

No male/male penetration

No transsexuals

No bi-sex

No degrading dialogue, e.g., "Suck this cock, bitch" while slapping her face with a penis

No menstruation topics

No incest topics

No forced sex, rape themes, etc.

No black men-white women themes

:rolleyes:

I think the basic intent with the list is if you said to your attorney, what areas could they nail me if they wanted to based on most community standards in the US.

A lot of people think its overkill. But if you think about it, most everything there does have the strong potential to offend many people who could be potential jurors. And remember in some bible belt areas all these would be prime ones.
