101 Sex Positions.

The publication Bottoms Up, Vol. 3, No. 4, features female domination of the male although there are some items of male domination of females. The emphasis is on domination by spanking and the magazine is clearly sado-masochistic in nature with hints of bondage.

The publication 101 Sex Positions is allegedly designed to instruct the reader on various sex positions. Over the years the Tribunal has classified a number of such magazines and manuals as either R18 or available for limited distribution, being serious manuals in respect of sexual techniques or for therapeutic use. In decision No. 945 issued on 11 March 1980 the Tribunal classified the publication Sexual Positions by Hans Richter as unconditionally indecent because that particular publication in the view of the Tribunal had no other purpose than promoting sexual practices. The publication in the Tribunal’s view lacked an honesty of purpose. 101 Sex Positions is, the Tribunal agrees, “informative rather than salacious” as submitted by the Comptroller of Customs, but it does not satisfy the Tribunal’s guidelines which have long been laid down that it have a serious purpose and that the pictorial displays be discreet and sympathetically portray that which is revealed in the written text. Accordingly the Tribunal classifies this particular publication 101 Sex Positions as unconditionally indecent.

The publications Her Sister’s Husband, Horny Voyeur Schoolgirls, Hot Naughty Wife, Hot Stepdaughter, Hot Suck Babysitter, In the Widow’s Panties, Sharon’s Diary, Stepdaughter Sex and Unbridled Emotions are all paperback books very similar in their presentation in that the contents describe graphic sexual encounters. The contents cover a wide range of explicit sexual activities such as incest, sex with minors, bondage and coercion. The Tribunal agrees with the Comptroller of Customs that the publications lack any real story line and many of them depict the illegal or deviant behaviour such as incest and bondage as being enjoyable to the victim. The publications are totally lacking in literary merit and are patently of a kind which would be injurious to the public good and each of these is classified by the Tribunal as unconditionally indecent.

The publication Miscellaneous Columns, Vol. 18 is almost entirely of a sexual nature. It comprises of readers letters and personal advertisements and throughout the magazine can be found photographs depicting heterosexual sexual acts. The Tribunal is satisfied that this publication is injurious to the public good and classifies it as unconditionally indecent.

All of the remaining publications under this sub-list contain photographs of models engaged in excessive intimacy and poses which place undue emphasis on the female genitalia and none of them contain any elements such as artistic or literary merit which might allow the Tribunal to view them in a favourable light. Each of these remaining publications on the sub-list are accordingly classified by the Tribunal as unconditionally indecent.

Dated at Wellington this 17th day of November 1989.
