Well, generally speaking the German "censors" (They don't consider themselves as censors as "censorship" supposedly "doesn't take place" in Germany- at least that's what our constitution says) have always had a bigger problem with violence rather than nudity in movies, which often results in parents opposing the "liberal" ratings of the "FSK" when it comes to "6" or "12"-rated flicks containing healthy doses of sex or dialogues with sexual references.
That "relaxed" attitude stops right at the gate when a distributor wants to get a "strong" horror flick like "Scar 3D" released with an "18"-Cert, which apparently had to let go of 9 (!!!) minutes before being able to get legally shown for German adults in cinemas....Go figure.
