The Tribunal finds that each of these following publications shows persons engaged in sexual activity of a nature which is clearly indecent.

Fat & Hot, Vol. 1, No. 1.

The display of the genital areas of the models that these photographs depict in this publication is of a nature which the Tribunal is satisfied goes well beyond that which would enable a lesser classification to be imposed.

Tribunal is satisfied that this is not only medically imprudent but that it also depicts activity of a kind which is injurious to the public good.

William Higgins' Star Search.

Prime Cuts, No. 1.

The first of these has a masturbation sequence and the second photos which indicate masturbation and a sequence involving a model with battery and wire which the Tribunal is satisfied is injurious to the public good.

Decision No. 44/89

Reference No: IND 56/88

Before the Indecent Publications Tribunal

In the matter of the Indecent Publications Act 1963, and in the matter of an application by the Comptroller of Customs for a decision in respect of the following publications:

Eroticon III; Forbidden Frolics:

Chairman: Judge R. R. Kearney.
Members: R. E. Barrington, A. J. Graham, K. A. Hulme and S. C. Middleton.

Hearing at Auckland on the 8th day of December 1988.
Appearances: M. J. Wotherspoon for Comptroller of Customs.
No appearance by importer, McDonald Publishers (NZ) Ltd.

Decision

These publications were commercially imported through Auckland sea freight in September 1988 and were seized by the Collector of Customs. The importer having disputed forfeiture the publications have been referred to the Tribunal prior to the commencement of condemnation proceedings pursuant to the Customs Act 1966.

Forbidden Frolics is a collection of stories based on Edwardian erotica and the Tribunal finds that it is quite well written and it agrees with the Comptroller that it lacks the repetition of crude and coarse language which is found in many similar publications which have been considered indecent by the Tribunal. There are however aspects of the publication which make it injurious to younger readers and accordingly it is classified as indecent in the hands of persons under the age of 18 years.

Eroticon III is a collection of tales from anonymous authors and again as in the case of Forbidden Frolics it differs from many of the books of a similar kind which come before the Tribunal in that the majority of stories treat sex in an adult rather than a prurient manner. Some of the stories are however of a very suspect kind dealing with sex in what can only be called a salacious way. The Tribunal finds that this book would also be injurious to younger readers and classifies it indecent in the hands of persons under the age of 18 years.

Most of these magazines feature photographs of single female models and there is little or no text. The magazines are of a fetish type production with emphasis on the larger female breast. In respect of the following publications the Tribunal is satisfied
