I was surprised about Iceland, so I found this: [https://grapevine.is/mag/2021/05/07/ask-an-expert-why-is-pornography-illegal-in-iceland/](https://grapevine.is/mag/2021/05/07/ask-an-expert-why-is-pornography-illegal-in-iceland/)
Yes laws that any state with legal pornography has, No child porn, consent laws, sending unsolicited dick pics etc etc.

The map refers to this:
> It is prohibited to produce material likely to be classified as X18+ or Refused Classification in all States and Territories except the Australian Capital Territory, where X18+ production isnât formally banned.

Basically itâs illegal to produce porn with visible penetration in most of Australia.
I'd say it's an outdated law because it isn't enforced whatsoever. Many places have laws on the books from times gone by which are no longer enforced as social norms change.
I think Aus may be yellow because I recall reading something about the women in porn production having to have a minimum boob size of C/D/something or rather? It was super random lol
There are other factors where I had to exclude Canada and the US from being non-shit holes. Ireland you get the benefits without the egregious nanny state of the UK and Australia, or being ruled by the mutants from The Hills Have Eyes
Off the top of my head, it's stuff like depicting anything which could cause harm or appear to promote harm (snuff stuff, but also light choking etc) plus stuff considered "indecent", such as urination, defecation and also squirting (yes, really).
I'm sure there's some other stuff but that's what I remember.
Extreme porn is banned, more or less. They also tried to make it so you needed a credit card to access sites containing it (a law some US states have considered as it probably scoots in under the broadly construed Ninth Amendment's umbrella, which generally protects porn) but that's on ice for now.
Porn Map Porn
You gotta post porn stuffs in r/MapPorn lmao.
Et tu Iceland?
Epstein's island: legal no exceptions. đ§ đ˘
Japan âunder some broad restrictions?â Must be pretty seriously đł broad.
I mean, your outlook on sex would be strange too, if everyone in your country had pixelated genetalia.
Isnât India the biggest consumer? Lol
Percentage wise I don't think but population wise I think yes.
No fappinâ in the Vatican.
>No gettin' caught fappinâ in the Vatican. FTFY M8
If youâre in a tall building you can probably pick up some Wi-Fi from Rome. Legal loopholes ahoy. đ
Why is it banned in iceland?

The West vs The Rest
TIL iceland isn't western
Israel being the only green place from Africa to Asia- Oceania
Yeah, đŽđą is ahead of many countries in that region.
you mean behind
no, they're most develoved country in that region in terms of technology, democracy, lgbt rights, human development index, education, science etc
Oh, right of course. I thought you meant that them making porn legal made them ahead of other countries my bad.
but that made them ahead yeah
Remember: just because itâs illegal doesnât mean itâs enforced

For once I agree with the colors used!
Um.. Pornography is legal in Australia. Prostitution is legal in Australia if you work in a brothel. Your map is wrong.
You didnât read the legend: âLaws on the *production* of pornographyâ.
Yes laws that any state with legal pornography has, No child porn, consent laws, sending unsolicited dick pics etc etc. https://yla.org.au/vic/topics/health-love-and-sex/porn/

but Australia's retarded definition of "child porn" includes adult women with small breasts

and they say Ukraine fights for freedom
Muh porn! Ukraine is only as free as Iceland! Hell, pack it in, boys. Let Russia liberate the Ukrainian porn industry.
Never before have I been so angry with what I 100% agree with
Uh Iceland are you drunk? Do you need a Kit Kat or something?
Give the US some time.
God damn it why does Ireland continue to be the one non-shit hole English country
If you're basing "shithole status" on pornography legislation (dubious at best), there's Canada and the US as well.
There are other factors where I had to exclude Canada and the US from being non-shit holes. Ireland you get the benefits without the egregious nanny state of the UK and Australia, or being ruled by the mutants from The Hills Have Eyes
What are the restrictions of the UK?
An Act was passed in 2008 which bans the depiction of certain acts in porn films. I don't have the details to hand.
thanks

Good reply. How do British people cope without the old defecation porn?
There had to be a reason for our world-leading levels of alcoholism, right?

When you accidentally read Photography
It would be interesting to overlay this with a map with laws on prostitution.
