I think you will find there is a quite a demand for S&M porn in the UK.

Absolutely Paul. There's a reason that the French (allegedly) call spanking "la vice anglaise". It's all supposed to be to do with public schools and buggery :-)
As the guy says, the demand is here, but you do run an big risk of an OPA prosecution if you publish hard S&M from the UK, so most don't.
To be honest though, when I read the kind of thing they envisaged outlawing possession of, I wasn't too sure where it fitted in with S&M in the first place.
