This was a chance for sex workers and campaigners to light-heartedly point out the roles of censorship and sexism in how the regulations view the porn industry.

"In a converging media world these provisions must be coherent and the BBFC classification regime is a tried and tested system of what content is regarded as harmful for minors."
