Description

Thousands have run afoul of Britain’s Obscene Publications Act—from Victorian erotica presses to 21st century dominatrices.

At a time when the Internet has made sexually explicit material ubiquitous, why are British traditional media still regulated by a vaguely worded law from 1857?This comprehensive analysis of obscenity in British culture explores what is considered obscene, who gets to decide, and how class, race and gender inform laws regarding adult content.

The author describes how obscenity laws disproportionately affect the BDSM subculture, the LGBT community and feminist porn performers.
