Sex Films and BBFC Cuts

• 1996 VHS

The BBFC commented:

An erotic and in places pornographic video dealing with human sexual activity in a context of force, restraint or infliction of pain. Although submitted as 'sex-education', it seemed to the Board to be selling the techniques of sado-masachism in a glossy and highly erotic manner, so that the educational content was overwhelmed by the S&M content. The message that pain is th real source of pleasure seemed likely to encourage men to inflict pain without due consideration of the rights and vulnerabilities of their partners.

Summary Review: Visually stunning

The film is visually stunning. A Mother Superior is fighting with herself over her vow of chastity. With visions of a skeletal nun and Mary Magdalene she slowly starts to lose her sanity.

The film contains plenty of graphic nudity. There is a nun masturbating, nuns having lesbian sex, a nun being tied to a cross and pleasured by other nuns, along with a nun being licked and caressed by two priests. Along with all this is a naked woman crucified and wearing a crown of thorns, flagellation and self-flagellation.

Some reviewers found it erotic: This is not your usual nunsploitation movie and transcends the genre, becoming art. This is without doubt one of the most erotic films I have seen in a long time.

Others found it boring.

119m 30s. Cuts of 5m 7s were required to sight of woman being penetrated by a dildo on the end of a long pole which has the potential to cause harm.

Satanic Sex was dealt with according to the criteria set out in our Classification Guidelines. Among the content which is clearly identified as unacceptable in an R18 sex video is: Penetration by any object likely to cause harm... "

This criteria is a response to concerns about imitation, harm to performers, and the need to ensure that material passed R18 would not be subject to prosecution under the Obscene Publications Act. The Board is aware that the Crown Prosecution Services does authorise prosecutions if videos include potentially harmful penetration and we have taken expert medical advice regarding types of object we should be most concerned about. This advice identified, among other things, objects which are very long and which do not have a natural safe stopping point (or a significant thickening in diameter to restrict penetration at a safe point). This clearly applies to the dildo on a pole in this title. The use of such objects is particularly problematic if the penetration is being controlled by a third party who would not necessarily be able to judge a safe stopping point, as in this case

In the light of the guideline and the particular details of this case, the Board came to the conclusion that cutting was the correct response and that the addition of a warning caption (which has been done in other circumstances) would not be sufficient.

Reviewers speak of explicit girl on girl action so maybe the US release is uncut.

• 1995 Tamara Productions VHS

The BBFC commented:

A camcorder sex video in which two young women are dressed convincingly as schoolgirls in order to act out the fantasies of men. There was no doubt in the minds of anyone who saw the video that it would encourage men to fantasise about seducing unwilling, and probably under-age, schoolgirls. Board policy on sex films has rested on the importance of mutual consent, yet this video was concerned almost wholly with the systematic erosion of consent in naive young women dressed as schoolgirls. For viewers, the link between innocent schoolgirls and sexual excitation would almost certainly be reinforced. On the test of harm to society through the behaviour of potential viewers, the video was rejected.

• 2013 Arrow RB Blu-ray/ R2 DVD Combo

The BBFC commented:

Distributor chose to remove clear sight of unsimulated oral sex in order to achieve an 18 classification. An uncut R18 was available.

In addition to cuts of 2 minutes 3 seconds which were required by the BBFC for the 18 classification - an R18 without cuts was available - the distributor chose to remove an additional 4 minutes 50 seconds of content.

US: There is a cut US softcore version. that is exactly the same running time as that passed 18 by the BBFC. Presumably it is the same version. It looks like Arrow submitted the uncut version and the BBFC requested cuts of 2:03s. Rather than implement the cuts themselves, Arrow submitted the cut US version instead, which meets the BBFC demands but is substantially shorter. Presumably using the existing US softcore version makes it easier in terms of the soundtrack and commentary.

See pictorial cuts details from movie-censorship.com . The cuts were:

• A scene features cross cutting between a softcore lesbian scene and a hardcore gay scene featuring real oral sex. Presumably the BBFC required cuts were to the gay blow jobs. The remainder of the cuts are US cuts to tone down the remaining sex in the same scene.

• 2013 Arrow video unreleased

Mike Comments:

BBFC policy states that real sex is permissible at 18 if the film is not a sex film, and the real sex can be justified by context.

The BBFC didn't debate whether the real sex was justified by context, as they thought the film was a sex film and they cut it on that basis. And the reason they thought it was a sex film was that there are 2 sex scenes intercut with each other.

That's a definition of sex film which they haven't used before or since when making cuts, so it's quite notable.

The BBFC commented:

Severe Punishment comprises a 37 minute sadomasochistic video work depicting two restrained women being beaten and whipped by a third. The whippings and beatings, which are directed against the women's buttocks, breasts and genitals as well as their sides and backs, are intense and prolonged, involving the use of a belt, a cat o' nine tails, a metal wire, a wooden paddle, a cane and a riding crop The beatings lead to the reddening of skin and the raising of weals on the women's bodies. Other activities in the work, including the use of a pump on a woman's breasts and the application of clips and pegs to the women's labia, also appear to inflict pain and, in the case of the breast pump, lead to damage and reddening.

At the 'R18' category, the BBFC permits mild fetish material, including some spanking, provided that the material in question is mild, clearly consensual and does not result in injury. However, the 'R18' Guidelines clearly prohibit "the portrayal of any sexual activity which involves lack of consent (whether real or simulated) [...] the infliction of pain or physical harm, real or (in a sexual context) simulated. Some allowance may be made for mild consensual activity [...] Strong abuse, even if consensual is unlikely to be acceptable." (BBFC Guidelines page 22). More generally, the Guidelines clearly set out the Board's serious concerns about sexual violence in films and videos, particularly in an eroticised context. On page 11 it is stated that "With portrayals of sexual violence which might eg eroticise or endorse sexual assault the Board may require cuts at any classification level [...] Any association of sex with non-consensual restraint, pain or humiliation may be cut". On page 20, under 'Rejects', the Board also identifies as of particular concern "sex accompanied by non-consensual pain, injury or humiliation".

The acts shown in Severe Punishment depict the infliction of real pain and injury and therefore go some way beyond the 'mild' activity that may be acceptable at 'R18'. The sole purpose of the work seems to be to invite sexual arousal at the sight of women being beaten, abused and caused real pain and injuries.

The position of UK law on sadomasochistic activities was established clearly in the case of R v Brown (aka the 'Spanner Case'). In this case, the court determined that, regardless of the consent of participants, the infliction of injuries that are more than 'trifling and transient' constitutes actual assault and is therefore illegal. The activities shown in this video, leading as they do to weals being raised on the skin, are considerably more than 'trifling and transient' and would therefore be likely to fall foul of UK law if carried out in the UK. Our understanding from the CPS and other enforcement agencies is that visual depictions of strong sadomsachistic behaviour are also liable to be found obscene under current interpretation of the Obscene Publications Act 1959.

The Board's strict policy on sexual violence is based in part upon the issue of public acceptability and in part upon the issue of harm. With regard to public acceptability, it is clear that the British public are very concerned by the depiction of sexual violence, and feel that any such depictions should be handled sensitively and with great care. The exploitation of sexual violence for titillation is clearly regarded as unacceptable - and potentially dangerous - by the majority. This was illustrated both by the findings of our 1999-2000 and 2004 public consultation exercises and by a separate research exercise into public attitudes to sexual violence undertaken in 2001-2.

With regard to the issue of harm there is a large and persuasive body of evidence over the years from respected and responsible researchers that shows that, where violence and sex are intermingled, the effects upon some people are likely to be harmful. In line with its specific duties under the VRA the Board is required to treat material of this kind very carefully indeed.

The Board considered whether cutting would be a viable alternative to rejection. However, given that the infliction of pain and injury on women, in a sexual context, makes up a significant proportion of the work and is its main selling point, the Board did not consider that cutting would leave a viable product.

• Cuts were made to close ups of the opening sex scene featuring the naked dancing woman. Licking a guys chest was too much for the censor as was simulated fellatio.
• Also the inter-cutting between a further sex scene and a wrestling match.
• The films speeded up sex scene was also reduced.
• A sex scene involving handcuffs was reduced

Cut in 2006 with the following BBFC comment : The cuts were Cuts for Category. Distributor chose to remove three scenes of unsimulated sexual activity (oral-genital contact and penetration) to achieve the 18 category. An uncut R18 was available to the distributor.

• 2013 Metrodome R2 DVD
• 2012 cinema release

The BBFC commented:

The film opens with a scene set in a school science laboratory in which a boy and a girl masturbate themselves in front of their classmates while filming their actions on their mobile phones. The scene contains a brief but explicit shot of the girl's pudenda as she strokes herself under her skirt. Although the detail is explicit, it is brief and justified by context in that the film goes on to examine the reasons behind this behaviour and the attempts by the family's matriarch to get her children to open up about their sexual desires and experiences. The actress in question was over 18 at the time of filming so there is no issue under the terms of the Protection of Children Act 1978.

The film also contains a number of other strong sexual scenes, although none of them feature the kind of explicit detail seen in the opening sequence.

UK: Passed R18 for strong images of real sex after 1:57s of BBFC compulsory cuts for:

The troublesome scene probably where a black man is gang raped by the skinheads. The skinheads chant "fuck the monkey" while fucking him ... he gets off on it. The hardcore version contains the interesting imagery of cum shots over Nazi literature.

This video caused much debate at the Board due to its violence, rape scenes and explicit detail that goes slightly beyond what the BBFC generally pass at 18. Whittam Smith seemed keen to consider the video for an R18 certificate on grounds of explicit detail but surely the skinhead violence would not sit very happily with the 'no violence' policy for sex videos, (along with the 'no sex' policy of course). There are hardly any gay licensed sex shops in which to sell it anyway so this clearly stupid idea went nowhere. As far as I can make out, this was one of Whittam Smith's more unilateral ideas and it unsurprisingly received scant support from anyone else at the Board.

Shortly after receiving an uncut R18 the distributors removed about 1:50s for unstated reasons and resubmitted the film and again passed R18 without BBFC cuts.

From IMDb. New scenes with the Collinson twins were edited in, together with some extra sex scenes involving body doubles for a re-issue.

From a submission by Donovan Winter included in the 2012 Nucleus release in which he spoke of opportunities at the Canne film festival in 1971:

Several overseas sales ensued, immediately so in France. But now I found myself up against a dichotomy. The 'sex' in the film was only titillating rather than aggressive. It was too soft for Germany and Scandinavia where they had progressed beyond that and demanded more. We need as much sex as possible in the film. While in other more reserved countries there was still too much! It seemed you just couldn't win. The distributor demanded explicit scenes which he could cut if necessary as required by the judges.

I left the print with the French distributor in Paris - which he required for dubbing. Then I returned to London to set to work once again. The additional 'sex' scenes necessary barely required scripting. All I needed were my actors, or doubles for them, to simulate the act of copulation. I went back into four of the locations and shot another eight minutes of simulated sex which I tagged on to the scenes already in the can. I never dared show them to the British censor, of course! But they did enable me to sell the film to more countries like Germany and the U.S., although I was told they were still not hard enough for Scandinavia.

Summary review: Hillbilly Softcore

One of the best from a genre of Harry Novak produced hillbilly softcore sex comedies. 3 girls get stranded in the sticks when their car breaks down. See them skinny dip, see them rape the country bumpkin, see them strip in a barn and strut their stuff.

One of the 3 women is Monica Gayle, and her fans will not be disappointed as she spends about 75% of the film nude. Another lead character, Judy Angel, would soon appear in hard core films.

From IMDb. The U.S. English-dubbed print is missing 6 scenes and runs approximately 8 minutes shorter than the original French version. However, the missing footage appears to have been removed for pacing reasons rather than any risque content.

From Amazon. As the UK/US edit stands; it leaves many gaping holes in its poor dialogue dubbing, missing the sense of Réage's story, and at times makes very little sense indeed. The French version easily scores 5 stars for me on the basis it makes sense

• 2006 Shots video (rated 22/12/2006)

The BBFC commented:

Full Frame, Struggle in Bondage consists of a series of sequences depicting women bound and gagged, writhing and struggling against their restraints. Each sequence begins with the women already bound and at no point is the audience given any indication that the women involved have consented to being bound as part of a clearly defined role play. Indeed, the struggling and whimpering of the women seems calculated to suggest to the viewer that the women have been bound against their will and are experiencing a sense of threat or humiliation. It is clear from the manner of presentation (including the exposure of underwear, breasts and genitals) that the purpose of the work is to stimulate sexual arousal in the viewer at the spectacle of women who have been tied up and gagged, apparently unwillingly. As such, the work is in violation of the BBFC's Guidelines and policy.

The BBFC's classification Guidelines for 'R18' works state that the following is unacceptable: "…the portrayal of any sexual activity which involves lack of consent (whether real or simulated). Any form of physical restraint which prevents participants from indicating a withdrawal of consent…any sexual threats, humiliation or abuse which does not form part of a clearly consenting role playing game". In addition, the Guidelines note the following under the main issues section: "Any association of sex with non-consensual restraint, pain or humiliation may be cut."

It is clear from the BBFC's own research that the public remains concerned about works that eroticise non-consensual activities by suggesting that sexual pleasure may be derived from participating in or witnessing the suffering of others who are unable to resist. Furthermore, there is a substantial body of media effects research which suggests that material that correlates sexual arousal with lack of consent may be harmful to some viewers. In line with its specific duties under the VRA the BBFC is required to treat material of this kind very carefully indeed.

The Board considered whether the issue could be dealt with through cuts. However, given that the unacceptable material runs throughout, cuts are not a viable option in this case and the work is therefore refused a classification certificate.
