Isn't that what you are advocating in suggesting that people stop displaying legal photos of legal and consensual activities on an adults only website?

And last night, when my hands were choking you. Last night, when the room and your mood was dipping And last night, when the ropes were pulling you in…. You said, “Hey, how could you love me this way?”

People are trying to keep out images which actually are illegal but it's quite hard to tell what's illegal or not.

If random non BDSM people visit here and find the pictures unsavoury.. they only really have their own curiosity to blame - as you need to make some effort browsing photos to find much of really shocking nature. IC is clearly labelled and aimed at adults consensually viewing. It would be pretty strange to find a BDSM website without BDSM images on it..

Re what is allowed, this is the tamest site i am aware of partly because it is trying to keep within UK law, as it is UK based (I like that!)

The key as others have said is Informed Consent..I don't think we should have to scuttle under a rock because a few people are out to get us - then we're just repressing ourselves on their behalf.

I saw a picture on here the other day of a right ol' minger. I dunno, but I reckon she might have had a cock.

Proper put me off my cornflakes, it did.

I'm still confused, and I wonder how familiar you are with the law in this area?

Since IC recruited its membership to help rate pictures I don't think I've seen anything on here that seems to come close to being illegal. And I simply don't accept that there's anything to be gained from our collectively engaging in prior restraint by choosing not to upload pictures in case Daily Mail readers don't like them.

I really don't think there's an issue here. Why should we, or anyone else, in any area of activity, choose to limit ourselves more tightly than the law requires?

Simply airing my opinion nothing more nothing less. Not questioning the legalities.

It might help if you spelled out clearly what your issues are? IC's guidelines are already considerably stricter than those on most modelling/photographic websites.

I thought I did ? I will repeat. My issues are that some pics I saw on here recently inclding markings from play and blood in pictures will not do any of us as kiknksters any good as anyone can view them on the site and mis-interprate them. The more I read about laws etc the more I fear the whole scene being pushed back under-ground. Hence the above. But hey maybe I am just old and past it eh ? what do I know ?

When it consensual or no risks to peoples health personally I believe its about opinions each to their own. There is nothing dangerous or illegal about it and nothing to say we don't like what we see. If it was me and I was shocked and worried I think my main concern would be maybe this is the wrong place to be looking for what I need. This is not an extreme site but there are plenty of places out there and again nothing wrong with them, I don't see any problems or factors of negativity not as much as seeing a woman having her nipples clamped to having her bottom cained. its all the same BDSM activity on a BDSM website.

I have pictures on face book that my friends and family think are risky and dislike, nothing bad about them just a little too much thigh or a flash of chest. I have pictures on here I would never in a million years share with them on there. This is a site of people in the BDSM community what's one persons extreme is another's usual. It's the same with googling a picture google the word Dick and what do You get???

When there is a time and I place I personally feel this is it, Its not face book and its not a social dating site it's a BDSM community with BDSM activates. The picture rules are strict and well monitored I myself believe its again another from of nanny state. My personal answer, If You don't like it don't look.

I wouldn't want censorship at all, not that I like looking at any extreme images. A few choice marks of a whip is sexy for me. Severe beating looks dreadful and I would always look away but not stop others displaying that, just as I cannot stand the penis pictures on alt but wouldn't stop someone using that image if he thinks it will get him anywhere.

This is a very important topic. When a minority gives in to a majority view and everyone becomes like clones that's a very sad day and very wrong. I want people to be free to and not just be free to do it too, to show images I don't like, even pictures of women over 13 stone and men with a beer gut!

I feel that allowing pictures of extreme marking and blood play, which any John Doe can see on here will do us kinksters no good whatsoever

I feel that what John Doe and his mates think of any pictures on here, whether they show the aftermath of a severe beating or a simple pair of roped up wrists, they are never going to 'get it' anyway.

Can't argue with any of that. :)

Well, I'm kind of with the OP on some of this...

I don't know how seriously a pic of a spanked botty needs to be taken. And it's arguable what is a "transient and trifling injury" - some people come up a deep purple from a minor slap but it disappears within an hour. That's just skin colouration.

But some pictures do cause me issues. Me, I don't like the sight of blood. A little bit of potentially staged blood, like this seems to me to be ok:

But the a picture like this is certainly pushing it a bit:

To each their own... I'm just saying I can see the point OP is making.
