52. Uncivilised Cruelty: Should rough sex be illegal?
Why did a group of men end up in prison after having sex? Should we police what people do in the bedroom?
Studies show that nearly half the UK population have experimented with bondage, discipline, sadism, masochism (BDSM). It is surprisingly common, so why did a group of men practicing BDSM end up in prison? Should we police what people do in the bedroom?
On this episode of bad people Dr Julia Shaw and Sofie Hagen discuss the 鈥渞ough sex鈥� defence. Is it an opportunity to get away with murder or a necessary part of the legal framework?
This episode contains audio from 成人快手 Radio 4鈥檚 Woman鈥檚 Hour and the documentary When Sex Games Go Wrong, produced by Caitlin Kelly.
Warning: This episode includes graphic descriptions of violence and some swearing.
