We were having a debate (not a mass-debate...he he he!!!) in the pub the other day as to whether hardcore porn on the web was legal or not (In the UK/USA).

By this I dont mean the obvious sick stuff like animals and kids but the stuff that couples get upto in the bedroom no matter how tame of imaginative they may be (ie intercourse, blow jobs, anal etc)

one friend said it was all perfectly legal,
another said it wasnt but authorities arent interested
and another said it was illegal and they'll have you for it

surely sites like google etc wouldnt have a harcore search ability if it was a no no...would they?

anybody settle this?

It's a grey area. Like your underwear.

Damn...I had a drink riding on the fact that I said it was legal...afterall you can buy the vids from sex shops and are allowed to do all those things in your home.

Nobody wins which means we all have to buy eachother a drink or nobody buys anybody a drink

I think it's legal in the U.S.
