The Victorian Sex Party is pushing for a change in classification laws to allow the sale of X-rated films in Victoria.

Sex Party MP Fiona Patten told Victorian Parliament it was "illogical" for buying and owning X-rated films to be legal while selling them was against the law.

Failed porn film The Erotic Adventures of Ned Kelly, shot in 2012, might have fared better if the Australian Sex Party had its way.

She moved a motion this morning calling for a change in classification laws to allow for "tighter regulations" of X-rated films.

She told Fairfax Media that X-rated films were being sold in petrol stations and news agencies despite the ban.
