All pornography showing strangulation and choking will be banned within months, Labour has announced.
Laws will be brought in to criminalise ‘pornography depicting any act of strangulation’.
It comes amid growing concern over the act being normalised in adult movies, and the effect it is having on young adults’ sex lives.
Legal changes will be made as an amendment to the Crime and Policing Bill which is currently going through Parliament, meaning the ban is expected to be in force by the end of the year.
Victims minister Alex Davies-Jones said: ‘Depicting strangulation during sex is not only dangerous, but also degrading, with real life consequences for women.
