REYKJAVIK, Iceland — Iceland is currently debating a draft bill introduced by two members of the Pirate Party to overturn the total ban on pornography in the North Atlantic nation.

The legislation, submitted last September by Pirate Party MPs Björn Leví Gunnarsson and Arndís Anna Kristínardóttir, would “lift the current penalties for the publication, importation, sale, and distribution of pornography,” Iceland Review reported.

The report added, however, that Iceland’s pornography laws are “largely unenforced, with the exception of occasional controversies.”

One of several local groups supporting overturning the antiquated censorship law, the Icelandic BDSM Society, released a statement this week hailing the possibility that the anti-porn laws may end up “finally being removed” from the legal system.

“Many of our members have struggled with deep shame because of their own feelings and desires,” the statement explained. “This shame arises from growing up in a society that closes its eyes to the diversity of human sexuality and insists on outdated attitudes about sexual relations — for example, outdated ideas about the purity of women, the privileging of the marital relation between one man and one woman over all other forms of relationships, and beliefs about what is and is not normal sex.”

The group also noted that current technology makes it “trivially easy to access pornography, making the enforcement of such laws in the modern day essentially impossible,” Island Review reported. The Icelandic BDSM Society also pointed out that censorship laws “further marginalize sex workers, making it more difficult to legally and safely make a living” and advocated for “sex education in schools from an early age.”

TOKYO — Fetish star Yoshi Kawasaki has dropped the 100th scene, titled “Maternity,” on his ZBuckz Network eponymous paysite.

“Boldly creative kink auteur Yoshi Kawasaki celebrates a milestone 100th episode of his successful YoshiKawasakiXXX website with the daring male pregnancy scene he’s planned a long time,” said a rep. “‘Maternity’ presents a hospital birthing scenario with pregnant Yoshi assisted in giving birth by fellow Japan-based creators Axel Abysse and Mistress Hinako.”

Kawasaki looked back on the content he has released over the past two years.

“Since I launched my website, the work has been completely new and challenging, but extremely exciting and rewarding as well,” he said. “I genuinely could not do this without the encouragement and appreciation of viewers who subscribe to my website. This day and age, it’s so easy to find porn you like, thanks to the proliferation of adult content platforms. I personally feel a sort of fucked-up camaraderie with my site members who are not afraid to show who they truly are in sex, or to crave for what they want. Which I think many people struggle to do. I’m proud my website represents Asians in the fetish community, which is not common in western countries.”

ZBuckz CEO Danny Zeeman added, “As a longtime fan of this smoking hot, tattooed and pierced kinkster who rose to prominence in the fetish world several years ago, I couldn’t be more thrilled with the continued evolution of Yoshi’s brand.”
