40.11 What's the deal with porn in Canada? Can I see some things or all things or what?
It depends upon where you are. In Canada, porn is a provincial
jurisdiction so each province has her own set of rules. This means
that something that is legal in Quebec isn't necessarily legal in
Ontario.
For instance, fisting and golden showers (as long as you're not
watching anyone pissing in anyone's mouth) are perfectly legal in
Quebec; Ontario consider facials and Double-Penetration scenes to
be obscene, so they're illegal in Ontario.
European distributors send unedited versions movies and the local
distributors just cut out the offending material based upon the
local markets. US distributors take the easy way out and just send
the American versions (not the European ones which may include
"harder" scenes) which means there is rarely anything to cut in
Quebec while there is almost always something to cut in Ontario.
