MAGAZINES which offer explicit sex advice to youngsters are back under the spotlight again.

Seven years after Peter Luff brought the problem to public attention by tabling the Periodical (Protection of Children) Bill, MPs are still concerned.

And they are not alone.

Bob Geldoff has called for the magazines to tone down the content as well.

In a new Early Day Motion backed by scores of MPs including Peter, publishers are accused of being a "law unto themselves".

"There is a difference between giving advice and raising issues in a responsible way and telling and even encouraging impressionable young teenagers and even children how to carry out sexual acts when they are so young,"

Peter's Bill, which attracted huge publicity but failed to become law, obliged magazines to print the recommended minimum readership age on the cover or face a fine.
