Paid Members Dead Mike Posted November 2, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted November 2, 2011 Slightly off-topic but I never saw the appeal of softcore porn? Surely if you're not into porn you're not gonna like the soft or hard stuff & if you do like porn then soft stuff isn't gonna do much good. When I wroked in the video shop blokes used to come in & rent tape after tape of weak 'Electric Blue' shit, just 2hrs odd of some bird washing her tits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted November 2, 2011 Moderators Share Posted November 2, 2011 I saw the appeal of it when I was a youth and it was on TV... Â But yeah. I answer to your question - it wasn't that long ago that hardcore porn was still illegal in this country and the internet not particularly widespread. I'm sure Gladstone will know the date but it was like what.. 10 years if that? Simpler, more innocent times! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted November 2, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted November 2, 2011 1999 was when the ban was lifted. Amazing to think, really, considering how widely available it is now. Â As for the softcore stuff, it's 'erotica'. There's a huge market for it and it's a lot more sophisticated these days and you have proper photographers working for European labels especially like Met Art. It's aimed more at people who are looking for something a lot more thoughtful than something to yank your plank over. There is so much of it around now, though, that the market became saturated with it years ago and it's all much the same. Â Looking back, though, the Electric Blue stuff looks quite ridiculous nowadays. Playboy is STILL like that, though, they have never moved with the times.

Paid Members JNLister Posted November 2, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted November 2, 2011 "Explicit" porn from HMV pre-ban lifting was amazing stuff. Lindsay Dawn McKenzie fucking a bloke with both of them keeping their pants on. Â Some friends of mine who didn't know to get the imported tape from Glen Radford even got the Pammy Anderson/Tommy Lee tape from HMV. With the illegal bits edited, it was just a disappointing 20 minute holiday video. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Thunderplex Posted November 2, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted November 2, 2011 A bloke I worked with in the early 90's taped the 10 minute preview on the Adult Channel every night for several months, and managed to make a few quid selling it to other collegues. Â It's so easy to get porn now it's untrue. How many people here used to watch the late night sex show on Pro7 on the off-chance that a brief clip of Hardcore was used, or watch the poorly scrambled german channel, where if you squinted the right way, you could just make out the bits that were banned?

Paid Members Surf Digby Posted November 2, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted November 2, 2011 The original R18 certificate was a joke. I remember when it was first introduced, with all the hoo ha about how it can only be sold in licensed sex shops because it's so explicit, blah blah blah, and yet anything remotely hardcore was cut, cropped so that it was out of frame, or in some cases, blurred out.

Moderators PowerButchi Posted November 10, 2011 Moderators Share Posted November 10, 2011 I've found two episodes of 00Heaven off The Adult Channel in about 2000 to download. While not even nearly hardcore I do really enjoy them and would love toi find more episodes if there's any online that anyone knows of. Also Ally McSqueal and Banged Up.
