"On Monday 3 November, the UK government announced plans to make it illegal for pornography to depict strangulation or suffocation, which can be referred to as choking or breath play. Possessing or publishing porn featuring choking will become a criminal offence."
"Violence and strangulation in porn has become more widespread in recent years and some say this has an impact in the real world where non-consensual strangulation has been normalised and become part of people's sex lives."
The UK government announced plans to make possession or publication of pornography showing strangulation or suffocation a criminal offence. The legal change targets content depicting choking or breath play and makes possessing or publishing such material illegal. Violence and strangulation in pornography have increased in recent years. Some observers say this trend has influenced real-world behaviour by normalising non-consensual strangulation. Reports indicate that non-consensual strangulation has become part of some people's sexual activity. The policy aims to reduce the portrayal and potential normalisation of dangerous breathing-restriction practices in sexual contexts.
