An 11 year old kid in Britain recently got caught selling adult DVDs on school grounds. When I first read this, three thoughts immediately went through my mind, in quick succession. The first thought was, although what the kid did was wrong, did they have to make a federal case out of it? I did some big, regrettable things as an adolescent in school. But I would have been mortified if those things had made the neighborhood gossip ring, much less received national media attention from the likes of the BBC.My second, and gut-level response was a somewhat typical male, “Boys will be boys.” Then I started wondering: what is this situation trying to tell us? If there ever was a sign that porn was too accessible, especially as far as kids were concerned, this was it.The reason I say this is because this story (about the kid selling DVDs) somewhat coincided with two other announcements. The first was the revelation – at least on a grander level anyway, I’m sure a select few people had known for a while – that the video game Grand Theft Auto San Andreas contained hidden elements and mini-games of a pornographic nature which could be accessed by obtaining certain modifications on the net. (I’d tell you the website for the modifications, but I’d actually like you to finish reading this article…:)) This game was hip among teenage boys to begin with. The discovery of hidden porn might push it over the top, even if it’s just by kids who want to know and confirm that the rumors of porn are true. The second announcement was that adult movie houses in Japan have released or are soon to release porn movies for the Playstation Portable (PSP). It seems that the production of adult movies in the PSP-exclusive Universal Media Disc (UMD) format has not started in the US – yet. Now I’m not saying that if/when the widespread availability of adult UMDs becomes a reality, these discs will by and large be sold side-by-side with the more mainstream video games. Not even alongside those rated M and above. But there will be acceptions: such as video games being sold in an otherwise adult-themed boutique or shop. And also, you know there will be the occasional unscrupulous store owner who attempts to make the adult discs available to underage gamers who shop in his mainstream gaming store.

Teenagers, by their very nature, are an inquisitive lot and they will do what you allow them to get away with. They often try to grow up way too fast and they are quite curious to know about sex. They’re prone to peer pressure, and for better or worse, they try to fit in or impress their friends or both. They will try to get their hands on the coolest items. The fact that these items (both the game and the gaming system) are somewhat connected to porn, which at that stage in a teen’s life is a somewhat taboo (read hip and desirable) subject, is only going to make that item more wanted. (I guess in a way then that the producers of such software are marketing geniuses. Although I’d like to think that none of those producers were targeting minors from the start.) Did the folks over at Rockstar Games honestly think they could make a mainstream video game, M-rated (for mature) though it is (so the producers could claim that they’ve covered their asses), and not have kids get there hands on the game in addition to seeking out codes for that game? My brother, while in his mid-teens, received a copy of Max Payne as a gift (another Rockstar Games production, by the way) – this is a notoriously M-rated game also, but at least it didn‘t contain adult material. Also, I’m an avid video game player in my spare time so I troll gaming boards all the time looking for cheating codes and special “Easter eggs” (gaming extras); and believe me, I‘m not the only one looking. I have to question why the security for the gaming code is so lax and hack-prone in the first place. Listen, we all know that if a kid is determined enough, he will find porn on his own. But we don’t have to make it so accessible and portable. It‘s bad enough that porn is now accessible on cell phones. As prevalent and affordable as cell phones are, the average age of kids getting cells now is getting lower and lower. Parents can afford to outfit the entire family (kids included) with cells so everyone can keep in touch.

At least, if you were to whip out a portable dvd player or laptop to view a porn dvd in public, that would arouse some interest (perhaps even from potential thieves…). But viewing porn on your cell, without anyone looking directly over your shoulder (and assuming no one can hear the moans), is no more conspicuous than reading the newspaper.

Don’t get me wrong, there’s nothing inherently illegal in putting out porn discs in game software format or producing adult material in adult games that are explicitly slated for adults only. But software producers should take it under advisement not to make it any easier than it has to be for kids to obtain porn. Especially if said porn is contained in such boast-worthy items as a high-tech cell-phone, the latest hip video game, and a popular gaming console. If these items were gasoline (and they just might cost less than the latter nowadays), the average underage teen fascination with sex is just the spark that‘s needed to make the situation blowup in a content developer’s face.

(Montreal) February 22, 2006 – Live Video software creator 2much Internet Services expressed “dismay and disappointment” at this week’s decision by Canadian cellular provider Telus to drop adult content.

Telus had been the first North American mobile service to offer adult content in the form of images and short video clips.

2much.net, which is featured in the popular Showcase “docu-soap” Webdreams and had been in talks with the wireless provider to distribute live video content, admitted their stance was based only partly on business considerations.

“This isn’t only a blow to the industry or to 2much,” said company president and founder Mark Prince. “It’s a shameful precedent to have a handful of complaints based on a doubtful morality dictate the choice – or lack of choice – of tens of thousands of users.”

Telus executives last week admitted to a hundred or so complaints versus the less publicised fact that “several thousand subscribers” already used the adult content service.

“What sharpened the bite for Telus was no doubt the whining of [Calgary Catholic] Bishop Fred Henry,” said Prince. “His diocese probably has a few contracts with Telus.”

Calgary’s Catholic diocese has not been without its share of sex scandals in the last decade.

Another high profile complaint against Telus was western-Canadian public relations executive Gordon Keast’s $3000 action suit for breach of contract.

While the mainstream press repeatedly reported the complaints but not the popularity of the service, adult industry outlets and free speech advocates remained silent.

“It was not, in the end, a business decision,” said one content provider who preferred to remain anonymous. “The adult industry respects business . It’s just that business doesn’t always respect the industry.”

Citing “cultural differences” and “growing youth markets”, public media outlets such as “The Globe And Mail” did not mention their own emphasis on the complaints as reasons for Telus’s decision.

In a statement this week, Telus executive vice president for corporate affairs Janet Yale claimed the company “heard from a broad range of customers” prior to announcing its decision.

“Despite the minority morality which appears to influence our general business and cultural interests, 2much, and I’m sure the rest of the adult community, intends to pursue plans to develop cross-platform distribution for our content,” said Prince.

Prince, who though Canadian is a member of the US-based, industry-backed Free Speech Coalition, contends that the issues are also related to free expression. “It extends across our culture and society which, though it pretends not to, actually embraces sexuality and different forms of adult entertainment.”

Numbers for the adult industry are variously reported in the billions, and are in fact a significant part of the entertainment economy.

It is necessary to protect yourself against the damages that your gym can suffer and the civil liability claims that you may receive from your partners or third parties in general. If you do not have insurance for your gym, you will have to face the claims or compensation with your assets if you are self-employed, or with the assets of your company. You wouldn’t be the first gym to receive a claim if a member has an unfortunate accident with a weight machine, for example, the necessary investment that you undertake to set up a gym is enormous, that is why it is necessary to protect the gym with insurance.

To protect themselves, gyms usually take out gym business insurance that aims to protect the premises, the civil liability of the premises itself for damages to third parties that may be produced by these guarantees, the civil liability derived from the sports activity of the gym and legal defence against possible claims. If the location of your gym is for rent, you only have to insure the content, since the owner takes care of the continent.

One of the basic coverages for a gym is the civil liability for exploitation to cover the possible accidents that can occur in a gym. The civil liability coverage for gyms covers legal defense expenses and compensation or expenses that the business has to face.

There are many other optional coverages that can be included or contracted separately to the commercial insurance of a gym: accidents that you suffer in the first person or of your employees, guarantees of theft even of the goods of the clients deposited in their lockers, legal defense extended for breach of contracts, labor issues, etc.

If the location of your gym is for rent, you only have to insure the content in your commercial insurance, and to the continent is the responsibility of the owner.

When the gym premises are rented, an alternative to commercial insurance is to take out general civil liability insurance that covers possible damages to third parties. The civil liability insurance of a gym is cheaper than the commercial insurance, but the premises or the equipment would not be covered by the guarantees of the commercial insurance. In case of contracting a General Civil Liability insurance for your gym, it is recommended that you include a locative civil liability coverage that covers damages to the premises due to flooding, fire or deflagration. The General RC insurance covers damages to third parties within its basic coverage, to have coverage on the premises itself it is necessary to contract the optional rental RC coverage.

How much does your gym insurance cost?
The price of the fitness business insurance of a gym is given by a series of variables such as the square meters of the premises, if the business is owned or rented, the number of workers, the location, the security measures that you are going to install, etc. You should also know that there are policies that do not cover theft, for example, or that do not include the breakage of glass or loss of profits among their coverage, or the employer’s CR is not added or any other type of CR, and that is why they have higher or lower price.

In the realm of adult entertainment, terminology often evolves to reflect cultural nuances and specific themes within the industry. One such term that has gained popularity is “BBC.” This acronym stands for “Big Black Cock,” a phrase that refers to a specific genre of adult content featuring Black male performers with larger-than-average genitalia.

Origins of the Term

The term “BBC” emerged in the early 2000s and was largely popularized through online adult videos and forums. Initially, it served as a descriptor for a certain type of fetish that focuses on race and size. This subgenre often emphasizes racial stereotypes, which, while appealing to some viewers, can also lead to problematic and reductive interpretations of Black sexuality.

Cultural Context

While the “BBC” genre has found a significant audience, it is essential to consider the wider cultural implications of its portrayal. The fetishization of Black bodies has roots in historical stereotypes and systemic racism. This representation can reinforce harmful perceptions that simplify the complexities of individual identities into mere sexual caricatures.

Fantasy vs. Reality

For many consumers of adult content, the BBC genre taps into fantasies that people can explore in a safe and controlled space. Adult films often cater to specific interests or fetishes, allowing viewers to engage with their desires without the limitations imposed by real-world social dynamics. However, it’s crucial to differentiate between fantasy and reality. The exaggerated portrayals in such content do not reflect the diversity and variety of individuals within any racial or ethnic group.

Industry Impact

The “BBC” genre has influenced the adult entertainment industry in several ways. It has contributed to the visibility of Black male performers and can be seen as a form of empowerment for those involved in adult film. However, it can also perpetuate stereotypes that reduce individuals to their physical attributes, leading to a narrow understanding of their identities and experiences.

Critical Perspectives

Critics of the “BBC” genre highlight the importance of approaching adult entertainment with a critical eye. They argue that while adult films can be a space for exploration and fantasy, they can also echo and reinforce societal stereotypes that contribute to racial fetishization. This raises questions about representation, consent, and the effects of pornography on societal views of race and sexuality.

Conclusion

The term “BBC” in adult entertainment encapsulates a complex interplay of fantasy, representation, and societal dynamics. While it serves a specific niche within the industry, it is crucial to approach its implications thoughtfully. As with any genre of adult content, understanding the broader context is key to navigating the conversation surrounding race, sexuality, and representation in today’s adult entertainment landscape.
