Russia recently went full-on 1984 on all your fave porn sites recently – blocking both PornHub and YouPorn from the country’s servers.

Government censorship agency Roskomnadzor blocked access to the sites, and now anyone trying to access them gets an error message that says they’ve been blocked “by decision of public authorities”. Last year, the watchdog banned 11 other porn sites, citing that they were failing to protect children “from information harmful to their health”. Court rulings were able to bring in the ban due to very vague, extreme legislation based around child protection.

And although sexually explicit content isn’t necessarily illegal in Russia, “the illegal production, dissemination and advertisement of pornographic materials and objects” is.

In an act of protest, people are uploading videos of themselves to social media watching porn and narrating what happens. They can be found underneath the hashtag #rospornobzor.

Buzzfeed reports that Daniel Trabun of Esquire Russia helped to get the hashtag going with his detailed narration of “Stepbrother Catches His Sister With a Big Dildo and Then Fucks Her”. He called the government ban a “hypocritical, sterile, and conservative position, which is in no way explained”.

In the growing number of videos, people are giving play-by-plays from bed, as well as on the streets.

“Pornhub and YouPorn are banned in Russia,” Vasily Sonkin wrote in the intro to his Facebook video, where he performs the narration outside. “That’s not really a problem, of course, as he who seeks will always find. But all the same, it’s at least stupid, as Russia loves porn, everyone watches it, and it’s normal, healthy, cool…So I want to express my little protest…Grandma, maybe you don’t need to watch this.”

“They turned off the porn, but they haven’t turned on the heat,” Liza Volokhova said before her own video.

Another protestor, Natalia Istomina, asserted her issues with porn as a whole, while also drawing attention to the dangers of government censorship. “While mainstream pornography is abusive as fuck, we’re not talking about that right now, but about the fact that censorship is an even greater violence and the way to total hypocrisy and isolation, where no honest conversations are possible, not just about sex, but about anything at all,” she said.

And Pania Kirillina observed the dialogue surrounding sex in Russia has to change, to confront sexual violence. “To be honest, I’m completely indifferent to porn,” Kirillina said before her Facebook video. “But to ban it, well, in short, that’s very bad. And we don’t have words in the Russian language for discussing sex, it is really awkward to talk about sex in detail…maybe, a bunch of girls are being raped in their marriage bed, for example, but they don’t know it, because they have never once in their life discussed with anyone how intercourse is supposed to happen.”
