Porn is legal in most countries as long as performers are at least eighteen years old, although certain areas prohibit its production and distribution to minors; Hong Kong for instance only permits sales of hardcore pornographic films or videos to customers aged at least 18 while South Africa prohibits hosting or promoting such material without first obtaining permission from local authorities.
New Zealand law makes it illegal to produce or distribute pornography that features images of children or animals as this form of exploitation may lead to up to 10 years in jail sentence.
Some countries, like Russia, do not permit access to pornographic websites such as those hosting adult content; in such instances it is typically best to utilize a Virtual Private Network when viewing pornography online.
As long as it does not involve viewing pornographic material in Russia, viewing pornography in most other parts of the world including Australia and New Zealand is legal; however it is wise to research local laws. If visiting one of these nations it would be advisable to inform yourself on what laws may exist there before viewing material online.
Some countries, like Pakistan, prohibit or restrict viewing adult content due to Islam forbidding it and Pakistan being predominantly Muslim. Other nations restrict access to pornographic websites like China and Thailand while it’s also illegal in Pakistan to download or watch any adult material such as those available through xHamster.
