	R18 certificate - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The R18 certificate is the most restrictive of the certificates, and videos given this certificate may only be sold in licenced shops - almost always sex shops.
		R18 certificated material also may not be sold by via mail order or other remote means such as by telephone or over the Internet.
		The R18 classification was created in 1982 in response to the recommendatations in 1979 of the Home Office Committee on Obscenity and Film Censorship chaired by Sir Bernard Williams.

	18 certificate - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The 18 certificate is issued by the British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) to state that, in its opinion, a film or video recording should not be seen or purchased by a person under 18 years old.
		The 18 certificate was created in 1982 as the successor of the previous X certificate, which in turn was the successor of the H certificate (with H standing for "horror").
		Even now, this is still unusual, and the granting of an 18 certificate for these films appears to be on the basis that these films' artistic merit justified the depiction of sexual acts that were a small part of, but integral to, the film.

		The R18 certificate represents a film or video classification given by the British Board of Film Classification The British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) is the organisation responsible for film classification within the United Kingdom.

		There has been some controversy about the prohibition of the depiction of female ejaculation, which the BBFC considers to be the same as urination, the depiction of which it regards as "degrading or dehumanising".
		The BBFC has previously granted 18 certificates for movies containing short scenes of unsimulated sex, such as Catherine Breillat's Romance (in 1999) and Patrice Chereau's Intimacy (in 2001).
		It is unclear whether this marks the end of the R18 certificate, or whether the BBFC will apply an "artistic merit" test to distinguish between films which are acceptable for 18 certificates and those which recieve only R18 certificates.

	screenonline: The R18 Certificate
		The 'R18' category is a special and legally restricted classification primarily for explicit videos of consenting sex between adults.
		However, the introduction of the R18 classification in 1982 coincided with a major crackdown on the sex cinema trade by
		Only a handful of films (or rather videos, since sex cinemas had become virtually obsolete) were granted R18 certificates between 1982 and 1997, and in general these were heavily cut, to remove any material clearly showing unsimulated sexual arousal or contact.

		Whittam Smith commented that the later had been refused a certificate for fear of the harm it might do, especially to susceptible young women who believed in demonic possession, but the twenty-five years since its original release had demonstrated that it had never harmed anyone.
		Two serial kiler videos which were submitted were refused certificates entirely on the grounds that the sexual violence was integral to the plot and could therefore not reasonably be cut.
		It could be that in due course the 'R18' category will disappear and certificates for normal distribution in cinemas will be granted to this kind of material, which does not cause great concern in the rest of the EU.

		X-rated, X certificate, X classification or similar terms are labels for movies implying strong adult content, typically pornography or violence.
		The precise meaning of the "X" and whether it is an official rating or an unofficial labelling varies from country to country.
		From 1951 to 1970, it meant "Suitable for those aged 16 and over", and from 1970 to 1982 it was redefined as meaning "Suitable for those aged 18 and over".

		This was partly due to the statutory requirement that all video releases comply with the criminal law (especially the 1937 Cinematograph Films (Animals) Act, the 1959 Obscene Publications Act and the 1978 Protection of Children Act), and partly due to the BBFC's own internal guidelines regarding strong sexual and violent material.

	Ben Dover Video Titles - A Note
		Some scenes may have been filmed hard or at least harder than it was permitted to release under the 18 certificate.

		Conceivably the same scene (with small variations) could appear in a numbered volume, a VCA release and under a different title as an R18 release and the European release could be slightly different from all three in content.

		These reports justify an R18 certificate - distinguishing tapes from the softer 18 porn which has implied sex only - and alert senior management to cuts to material that transgress the publicly available BBFC guidelines, such as sexual violence, reference to underage sex or dehumanising activity.
		R18 tapes are only available in registered sex shops, of which there are relatively few.

	Hardcore R18 Movies - & UK Law
		Once a movie has been certified as R18, the BBFC will have watched the movie right through, and cut any scenes that are against the rules and guidelines set by the government.
		We do not agree with the R18 mail order rules - because the freedom of choice should clearly be yours, providing all parties in the movie are consenting adults, and of course, the viewers are also consensual adults.
		A few simple checks, such as whether you own a Visa or Mastercard (both of these are only given to over 18’s) or that you are on the electoral roll, would prove to us that you are an adult and therefore that choice should be yours.

		One would be to change the definition of a video's "potential viewer" so that the classification board, when issuing certificates, must take account not just of who is "likely" to view the video but who "may" view it.
		The British Video Association, representing mainstream video distributors (NOT the distributors of R18 titles), and the Video Standards Council (which draws up the industry's own code of practice) are more forthright in their criticisms.

		By the time final certification was due, Jack Straw had stepped in with his own repressive view of the Obscene Publications Act, This left the BBFC with little option but to suggest the usual extreme and commercially damming cuts.
		In fact the BBFC admitted to being deeply divided on this particular decision and it was the new president that swung the decision.
		This seems a strange constraint as one of the principles of the R18 certificate is that it keeps films out of the public gaze.

		As you may be aware, the issue of mail order supplies of works classified R18 has been the subject of recent legal action and the matter is now settled in domestic law.
		The 'R18' category is a special and legally restricted classification primarily for explicit videos with clear views of real sex between consenting adults.
		Generally speaking sex videos of the type encountered at 'R18' neither seek to inform nor educate about female (or male) sexuality but merely offer graphic (and grossly distorted) views of sex for the arousal of viewers.

		Indeed, it is not a trifling matter when some women have been referred for surgery to correct what is perceived to be some form of urinary incontinence.[21] To accept that female ejaculation exists is not synonymous with stating that all women ejaculate, nor with advocating ejaculation as the goal of sexual achievement for all women.
		We are sure that the Board must be aware that much of the sexual material it passes with an R18 certificate does not necessarily represent the sexual experiences of all women.
		Indeed, as you acknowledge in your letter "much of the material [the Board] passes with an 'R18' certificate does not necessarily represent the sexual experiences of all women".

		Sex and pornography have been major recent concerns of the BBFC - partly because horror and ultraviolence don't seem to be on the menu so much in a post-Scream universe ("horror just seems to have exhausted itself"), and partly because the climate does genuinely seem to be easing.
