Government report on 'extreme' porn

So I've ranted briefly about the Criminal Justice Bill in the UK, and the legislation contained therein to make it illegal to possess certain images the government deems 'extreme', which reads like this.

To 'back up' these proposals, the Home Office set up a Ministry of Justice report on 'the evidence of harm to adults relating to extreme pornography'.

Not the most thrilling of documents...

Authors: Catherine Itzin, Ann Taken, Ruth Kelly (all anti-porn feminists)

My problems with this, and why it says nothing more about why this legislation is necessary or justified:

1. They're using old research, most of it not relating directly to the 'extreme' images that are soon to be banned.

2. Their reading of Donnerstein (the only research I've read directly myself) is based upon non-extreme pornography. Donnerstein found that a far greater number of men watching 'violent' pornography were likely to identify themselves with the victim than the aggressor.

3. This paragraph:

"Contrary to expectations, it was found that in 30 of the 48 primary studies included, the content of the extreme pornographic material used was described in graphic detail. Direct quotes of these explicit descriptions have not been repeated in this report because the nature of the material was 'too extreme'. Instead it has been described in more neutral terms. This has been done to avoid the risk that these descriptions would function as extreme pornographic material for the reader, producing sexual arousal and orgasm to material that depicts or enacts serious sexual violence, explicit serious violence in a sexual context or explicit intercourse or oral sex with an animal (bestiality)."

So now it's apparently dangerous to read this potentially lurid report in case we find it so erotic we have to have a wank???

WTF, Brit government?
