Adult film banned in the UK is back online

Incest porn is now banned in the UK, and it's already filtering adult expression online.

Porn filmmaker and performer, Vex Ashley, removed her films Maman and Maman II from the internet after the law came into effect in April.

Now, the films are back online — only significantly edited.

The 'Mommy' film banned in the UK These two films delve into the "Mommy" kink , which is less mainstream than "Daddy" play.

Ashley, the director of the films, told Mashable they were created after she and a friend discussed their sexuality and relationship to the mother archetype in sex.

Maman and Maman II depict lactation, breastfeeding, and — of course — being called "Mommy."

"We initially thought we were just going to have to completely lose them from the site, because really, the whole film is talking about mommy stuff," she told Mashable in a phone call.

The UK's Crime and Policing Act prohibits the publication of pornographic images of people who are related or pretending to be.

"It didn't matter if, at the beginning, you said, 'We're not related.

This is all fiction and fantasy,'" Ashley explained.

She didn't receive any communications from the UK government; instead, she had to keep up with its website to find out information.

There's also been little fanfare about these new regulations, according to Ashley.

"There might have been a point years ago when this sort of regulation would have received some debate within the public sphere in some capacity about like sexual freedoms, or about obscenity," she said, but now we're in a different time where "porn is sort of public enemy number one." Anti-porn rhetoric has been on the rise in the UK and elsewhere, like the U.S., in recent years.
