Prudish lawmakers in the UK recently banned several sex acts from being portrayed in porn and in response protests flared-up outside Parliament on Friday morning, complete with a mass face-sitting. Among the prohibited porn acts are: strangulation, whipping, face-sitting, female ejaculation, urination and spanking, which are no longer legal to do on film. Lawmakers claim those sex acts are dangerous, but critics have claimed that the bans are arbitrary and sexist. They assembled in front of the buttoned-up halls of Parliament to demonstrate that sitting on someones face can be safe and fun:
