As a result, I'll post the content verbatim.

This is pretty fail for a number of reasons - from a simple standpoint on evidence, if the Classification Board bothered talking to the industry, they'd know that the majority of "squirt" movies are faked; the girls use a douche (isn't porn classy?). Of the remainder, there's very little scientific evidence suggesting that girls who squirt are ejaculating urine.MsNaughty wrote: Female Ejaculation Films To Be Banned In Australia
I’ve received a circular from the Eros Association, the advocacy group for the Australian adult industry. Thanks to shit stirring by a fundamentalist Christian group, the rules have been tightened as to what adult films can be imported into Australia.
The Classification Board has explicitly stated that films featuring female ejaculation will now be seized and considered RC – refused classification. Effectively banned. This also means that female ejaculation sites will be considered RC (prohibited) for the purposes of the internet filter planned to be introduced here this year.
I’m glad Eros is going to fight this. It gets me hopping mad that a government can perpetuate this nonsense and are so eager to do the will of prudes and ignorant religious nutters who wish to meddle in the sex lives of others.Eros wrote:The Classification Board have determined that female ejaculation is not a real event and therefore all issue from a women’s vagina is piss and therefore covered under the parameters in the Guidelines for ‘golden showers’. This means that if the shower happens to land on the body or in the mouth it is determined to be an offensive fetish and goes RC. The Classification Board’s finding that female ejaculation does not exist is something we will contest with them as there is a body of scientific (and personal) evidence that says otherwise. Even last month on the ABC Science Show with Dr Norman Swan, they spent an hour with scientists discussing this phenomenon and how it was not urine.
The sooner our outdated classification (censorship) system is abolished, the better. They should not have the right to ban films based on subjective, religious, unscientific, biased and sexist opinion as to what is and isn’t “obscene.”
But even putting those facts aside, what the fuck is with our society ruling on fetishes? Seriously?
I'm not really going to be personally put out by a ban on the sale of Female Ejaculation movies, but where does the classification of an "unacceptable fetish" end?
Further, what is the moral judgement passed on the people who practice these fetishes in their personal life? Despite it being entirely legal to have the sex depicted in the banned movies, the suggestion here is that society doesn't think your fetish is "right" - you have a distasteful or taboo fetish, while other fetishes have been, effectively, legally approved.
This whole thing smacks of moral micromanagement - let's stop pretending to live in a world where we can legislate against having sex in anything other than the missionary position.
As a final aside, I should point out that this article is entirely unsubstantiated - I'd be surprised if Eros has made it up, but that said I can't find any release or information from the Classification Board itself to suggest that this is true or complete.
