By Dick Hooter

Cut by the BBFC when submitted in 2006 with the following BBFC comment: Compulsory cuts required to remove sequences of abuse (in this case strong gagging during fellatio)

Comment from the The Melon Farmers' Forum

So, presumably consensual (it's from a well know production company) 'strong gagging' during fellatio is now abuse?

Cut by 14s. The cut was to remove sight of faecal matter during an anal douche.

by Ricky D (Phoenix Films)
Submitted in 2009, running time 75:38s
Cut by 2:13s. Cuts required to remove sight of men firmly gripping woman's throat accompanied by slapping of breasts and face, and dialogue references encouraging gagging and choking during fellatio.

Cuts of 9m 55s were required to remove scenes of breath restriction during sex and dialogue references to same; hot candle wax dripping, face slapping/spitting, urolagnia and the eating and regurgitating of live worms. Further cuts required to potentially harmful references to and actual breath restriction during sex.

The cuts to Cockhounds had nothing to do with animal cruelty and nothing to do with not allowing people to eat/swallow live worms. The problem with the scene was that the woman, having swallowed the worms whole, then puts her fingers down her throat and vomits them back up. She then puts the worms, which are caked in vomit, on her breasts.

This is considered as obscene by the police/CPS. As with pissing and shitting, scenes showing vomiting or the smearing of vomit in a `sex work` make it open to prosecution.

The worms are actually a red herring and their presence was totally irrelevant (as it happens, the worms actually survived). The problem was (i) the presence of vomiting in a sex work and (ii) smearing vomit over breasts in a sex work. It`s exactly the same as with urine and excrement (which are also shown thrown around in Jackass because these are not `sex works`).

US gay adult film (Load)
Submitted in 2010, running time 117:07s
Banned by the BBFC

Few details are provided about the film but it is probably from the Lost in the Hood series by Edward James

The BBFC explained their ban:

Lost in the Hood is a US sex work focusing exclusively on the abduction and rape of a number of men. In each scenario, we see the predatory male characters choose a victim who appears to have become lost in the hood (ie a bad neighbourhood in the United States). They then abduct their chosen victim and force him to engage in sexual acts with them against his will. Each scene places a strong emphasis on the non consensual nature of the sex, with the victims pleading to be released, showing discomfort and making unsuccessful attempts to escape. Similarly, the perpetrators display a high level of physical and verbal aggression. By presenting the spectacle of sexual violence within the context of an explicit sex work, whose primary intention is to sexually arouse the viewer, Lost in the Hood has the effect of eroticising and endorsing sexual violence in a potentially harmful fashion.

In making a decision as to whether a video work is suitable for classification, the Board applies the criteria set out in its current Classification Guidelines, published in 2009. These are the result of an extensive process of public consultation and research and reflect the balance of media effects research, the requirements of UK law and the attitudes of the UK public. The Board's Guidelines clearly reflect the serious concerns that exist about the portrayal of sexual violence.

The Guidelines for the R18 category requested for this video work state that the following content is not acceptable: material (including dialogue) likely to encourage an interest in sexually abusive activity (for example [...] rape),the portrayal of any sexual activity which involves lack of consent (whether real or simulated),any sexual threats, humiliation or abuse which does not form part of a clearly consenting role-playing game. Strong physical or verbal abuse, even if consensual, is unlikely to be acceptable. Under the heading of Compulsory Cuts, the Board's Guidelines identify as of particular concern sexual violence or sexualised violence which endorses or eroticises the behaviour. Additionally, under the heading of Violence, the Board's Guidelines state that A strict policy on sexual violence and rape is applied. Content which might eroticise or endorse sexual violence may require cuts at any classification level [...] Any association of sex with non-consensual restraint, pain or humiliation may be cut.

Of course, the Board will always seek to deal with such concerns by means of cuts or other modifications when this is a feasible option. However, under the heading of Rejects our Guidelines state that If the central concept of a work is unacceptable (for example, a sex work with a rape theme),or if the changes required would be extensive or complex,the work may be rejected, ie refused a classification at any category.

It is the Board's carefully considered view that to issue a certificate to this work, even if confined to adults, would be inconsistent with the Board's Guidelines, would risk potential harm within the terms of the VRA, and would be unacceptable to the public.

The Board considered whether its concerns could be dealt with through cuts. However, given that the central concept of the work is unacceptable and that the unacceptable content runs throughout the work, cuts are not a viable option in this case and the work is therefore refused a classification.
