Mr Cohen [The Spanner Trust - who promote sadomasochists rights apparently?) said that unlike child pornography or bestial pornography, which was easily recognisable as illegal, sadomasochists will find it difficult to know what side of the law their pictures fell.
He added: "Violence is not consensual but injuries can be received in all forms of activities. People will not know whether their pictures are illegal or not.
"It's a very difficult area, I think the burden of proof has to be very high. If this goes through I hope it receives a lot more scrutiny."
The government says the new law will not target those who accidentally come into contact with obscene pornography, nor would it target the mainstream entertainment industry.
the Libertarian Alliance opposes the legislation on the grounds that people should be able to look at whatever they wish.
