R18 'MANEUVERS: AGONY OF VICTORY'
(must be america- manoeuvres is eng spelling)
When submitted to the BBFC the work had a running time of 85m 51s.
To obtain this category cuts of 0m 22s were required. The cuts were Compulsory.
Cut required to sight of urolagnia (in this case a man licking urine from his hand) in accordance with BBFC guidelines and in line with current interpretation of the Obscene Publications Act 1959. A second cut was required to sight of a lit cigar being held very close to a man's penis on the grounds of potential harm.

however, no cuts required to remove shots of the ACTUAL harm caused by smoking the fucking thing?!?!

Logic prevails at the BBFC!

For all the joy at the BBFC's recent relaxation, let's not forget that the establishment still views even hands-off BDSM as perverted, and cuts accordingly.

Hands-off BDSM? Explain, please!

Of course, the actual establishment is too busy enjoying their own kinky pleasures to allow us proles to watch such filth. We could be corrupted, don't you know?

I don't think the BBFC does cut mild BDSM anyway. It is mainly concerned about issues regarding consent. But let's stick to the facts. As have been posted before, here, from the BBFC site, www.bbfc.co.uk, is what the guidelines say is NOT allowed in R18...

START QUOTE
"The following content is not acceptable
.
Any material which is in breach of the criminal law
Material likely to encourage an interest in abusive sexual activity (eg paedophilia, incest) which may include depictions involving adults role-playing as non-adults
The portrayal of any sexual activity, whether real or simulated, which involves lack of consent
The infliction of pain or physical harm, real or (in a sexual context) simulated. Some allowance may be made for mild consensual activity
Any sexual threats or humiliation which do not form part of a clearly consenting role-playing game
.
The use of any form of physical restraint which prevents participants from withdrawing consent, for example, ball gags
Penetration by any object likely to cause actual harm or associated with violence
Activity which is degrading or dehumanising (examples include the portrayal of bestiality, necrophilia, defecation, urolagnia)
. "


"Some allowance may be made for mild consensual activity" is the key phrase here, I think.
