Censorship

I guess the length, with the scene shortened to lessen the impact.

Due to the latest R-18 guidelines released two minutes ago, the act of bench kneeling is now also deemed unsuitable for the British public.

*Note to all UK pornography companies.

The still below shows the only kind of sexual contact allowable in R-18 products... minus the bench kneeling obviously.

Cheers Nos, good reply explaining it.
So we can't see urination on a person in a porn context but its okay in other genres....That makes total sense....

They say it is a tried and tested method for protecting children. Really? Are we plebs allowed to know what testing went on and the outcomes? Can we see the evidence? Who did this testing and where? How exactly is it harmful to minors? Vitriolic, absurd garbage spewed out to justify the un-justifiable. Just like back in the day when watching a Video Nasty would turn people into psychopaths. "
Oh but films are imitable!" Also yes, films are imitable, when I watched Way of the Dragon back in '75 the first thing I did was get me a pair of nunchucks but I never cracked anyone over the head with them! We all have reasoning and decision to temper our actions and everyone from 6-99 years old knows that there are consequences for our actions. If a person chooses to disregard that fact and goes on to do some heinous act he or she saw in a film then the problem was already deep seated long before the film was ever watched and has more to do with parental upbringing, values, morals, the education system - or lack of it- and a society that doesn't give two squirts of piss about them.

And am I missing the point here again? Possibly, I'm not university edumakated and come from a poor family but is porn not made for adults in the first place? It's not for minors so why do we censor adult programmes in case it corrupts someone who shouldn't be watching it in the first place? Using that argument we should do away with all adult films and films with mature themes as poor little Tyrone and Johnny might turn into Serbian Porn stars...

From news articles it seems it was tested quite a bit during the seventies and eighties by those in power and those polluting our airwaves.

I would guess a child is much more likely to see a copy of Inbetweeners 2 than hardcore pornography – the former has a 15 certificate and is probably available to buy in supermarkets, whereas the latter is rated R18 and can only be purchased online or in registered sex shops.

Also, I would bet the majority of pornography comes from the Internet or overseas and is therefore not affected by the BBFC's new guidelines.

Definitely a lack of joined up thinking.

Not if the British press are correct.

Wow! Really? I don't think that Jimmy Saville and Elm Street B&B count as "testing"....

(You were making a joke, right??)

They may very well speculate the two are indistinguishable from each other!

Of course it was a joke.

Perhaps not as comical as the BBFC guidelines, but yes a joke.

Okay, here is what's running through my video nasty corrupted brain at the moment.
Why is sex deemed obscene and corruptible?
It is the way humans and animals procreate. We all do it in one form or another and we all enjoy it. Otherwise we wouldn't do it and the human race would die. Most of us start around 16 years old and spend most of our lives trying to get more!!
Why can I let my missus sit on my face, strangle her, stick my fist up her and even piss on her in my own home and no law is being broken as we are two consenting adults but if I watch two other consenting adults do this then I am breaking the law?
Why are we teaching children that two people having sex is corrupt and that womens bodies are obscene?
And don't come back with the imitable argument here because if you try and stick your fist into someone that is not amenable to the concept, you're going to find out pretty quick!!
Is it still a hangover from Victorian times or just once again the elite dictating what is and isn't acceptable behaviour from us serfs....
