98:08s. Cut by 3s Cut required to sight of woman fondling bare breasts in clear sight of public, to obtain an 'R18' in line with commonlaw on indecent exposure.

The comments reveal that: T he distributor of the work, Darker Enterprises, appealed to the independent Video Appeals Committee against the BBFC's decision to require a cut to be made to this work as a condition of classification. However, Darker Enterprises withdrew from the appeal before representations were put before the Committee.

I am only guessing, but maybe Darker Enterprises were contending that public nudity should be governed by the most recent law:

2003 Sexual Offences Act - Section 66 : Exposure

(1) A person commits an offence if-
(a) he intentionally exposes his genitals, and
(b) he intends that someone will see them and be caused alarm or distress.

Clearly fondling breasts, presumably without causing distress, is hardy like to qualify as an offence.

I am guessing that our repression loving authorities have now reverted to some long lost 'commonlaw' that probably bans anything to do with sex and nudity. I wonder where one gets to read about such antiquated law on the internet.

UK: Passed R18 for strong images of real sex after 9s of BBFC compulsory cuts for:

• 2015 Load video

The Video caused a stir at the BBFC after examiners found the frank sex education video to be a serious and informative attempt to educate and inform. The examiners recommended 18 uncut. But James Ferman was having none of it and ordered massive cuts. The Department of Health also got involved to verify (and improve) the safe sex messages.

Cut by 51:55s . Compulsory cuts were required to remove material in breach of current interpretation of the Obscene Publications Act 1959 (fisting, dripping of wax onto genitals and SM activities resulting in actual injuries). Cuts were also required to remove potentially harmful material (breath restriction, electrocution) and violent and abusive material.

• Title changed for supposedly having an association with under-age sex. The original title appears to be Stacked Deck so perhaps it had already been retitled by the distributor
• The 5s cut is probably referring to the on-screen time of the title board
