I guess barely barely legal will become a new porn category

Brits will unironically live in a place called cockgobbleton while complaing about the most vanilla porn imaginable.

How many steps till they come for interracial you think?

I was betting on trans first, but interracial is a solid guess too

There will always be something "barely legal"

They can make the age of consent for porn (or any unconventional sexuality) 25, which will also let them slip in their long-mooted plan to make that the age of consent for gender affirming care.

Is the UK still weird about squirt porn?

So fucking 1000 dudes is okay but wearing a balaklava and a school uniform is not?

You'd think they would be happier that they are actually wearing clothes.
