Ben Dover - False Advertising?

I recently purchased ?Ben Dover's Housewife Hussies' on DVD by VCA. The back cover says that Bee, Claire & Susan all squirt in their scenes. Having watched the DVD I can't see any squirting at all...Bee has squirted in other films and the editing in her scene does make me suspicious that there may have been squirting but it got edited out - but why? Squirting is allowed in American films but pissing is not (presumably why Carla's golden shower scene is edited).
Is there another version of ?Ben Dover's Housewife Hussies' which has squirting in it?
Even if there is another, unedited version that still doesn't explain why the VCA cover describes squirting in the scenes when there isn't any...
This is the first time I've been dissappointed by a Ben Dover film, as I bought it specifically for the squirting. Perhaps Ben (or anyone) can throw some light on this...
Thanks,
James

was it an R18 version you bought?

I seem to recall reading an article somewhere where it said that squirting was categorised in the same way as pissing in R18 movies as the censors didn't believe that squirting was real and was pissing under another guise but I could be wrong...

I think the VCA label won't include any pissing (or squirting) scenes in their video's, I know previous Ben Dover titles, Booty Duty for instance had a watersports scene in it (which was cut on the DVD) but featured in the your choice video cut, maybe they class squirting as pissing? I know R18 video's I've seen include pissing, most notably the Barely legal video's, although it's only girls on their own

that all may well be true, but it shouldn't be on the cover.

I have the Your Choice vhs which includes the squirting but not the pissing. The pissing was cut by Ben himself. He reckons if he leaves it in then it will affect sales of the R18 version which has the pissing cut.

Its rather sad that the full product is not available,
why film it in the first place if it is always going to be edited out later to maximise sales elsewhere

cheers
B..OZ one snag short of a barbecue

Yer right: ascertaining which version of a Ben a particular supplier id offering gets a tad tiresome.
It's bad enough with the BBFC arguing about how many angels can dance on the head of a pin, but with Ben bowdlerising his own stuff as well.........

Hi James, Sorry about your experience. I'm afraid it's out of my control. In a nutshell, I sent VCA the movie with appropriate box cover copy. The boss of VCA doesn't believe in female ejaculation, he says it's piss, so they re-edited it. He is also paranoid, and thinks that Bush and his AG Ashcroft will start back on porn like Reagan did [he went to jail back then] and pissing would put his name in the frame for a nicking. I mean, Ashcroft has stated that he is such a religious fanatic that he thinks DANCING is immoral!!, so since VCA are one of the three big fish I guess he's playing safe. He's getting ready to retire and he don't wanna go back to jail!! BTW contrary to popular belief porn is NOT legal in the US. The right to produce it falls under the First Amendment and the Constitution, which is why they still prosecute [Seymore Butts recently and countless other cases going on as we speak all ovewr the US] because they [US Gov] say the Constitution is open to interpretation. Anyway because VCA is a huge company the guys who design the box would not have been told the squirting had been taken out, so the copy wouldn't have been amended. Result : cock-up. Ring them up and have a go at them [after 6pm] Their number is 001 818 718 0202. Ask for customer services. BTW The uncensored version is on the website.

Why film it anyway? Obviously [1] because we like it! & [2] It goes onto the website.

Cheers Ben,

I thought the explanation would be something like this.
Hollywood screws up on marketing all the time as well.

Still, it's certainly not the first time that porn has
been marketed as something 'harder' than it actually is.
Sunday Sport anyone ?

It's always good to check out internet reviews before buying,
on this site, rame.net and others to ensure that what you are
buying is as advertised.

Its cos you have your name on the box that you are taking
flak from the forum. Please remember we appreciate having
you around !
