Thats actually exaclty what the MOJ are saying cant happen. To fall foul of the new law, the material would have to be obscene in the first place. In which case the publisher is already breaking the law.
There is some interesting information on the CPS website about what they consider obscene. Bondage with gagging is considered obscene, but then it always has been.
Standard sex is not obscene under the Obscene Publications Act. If you read the act, it has to be something that when taken as a whole, would tend to corrupt or deprave the average viewer. The type of sex which virtually every normal person has anyway, cannot do that.
