why no outdoor/beach sex scenes in british movies these days, much better, natural light and you can see better skin tone, instead of alwats in the studio!

Trying to get 4-5 people together at the same time is a major nightmare, adding "Weather Permitting" into the equation............

Is it really illegal to have sex outdoors even if nobody sees you? What a crap country this is. Thank *you* David Blunkett for that inspired item of perverted Islamic law. Yet another reason to *leave* the UK and I don't even want to do it outdoors myself. Streuth...

Yes thanks. Oh that white paper, this lot are worse than the Thatcher era, that's it I'm going. Will the last person to leave the UK please turn out the light. Wonder how Derry Irvine spends his evenings?

There are very few things that the BBFC won't allow in films these days, but the main ones are violent scenarios (eg rape fantasies), verbal or visual references to underage sexual activity, situations where consent has been temporarily removed (eg choke fucking where bloke is holding woman's head down on his penis such that she is in no position to say "stop" if she wants), shitting and sex filmed in a public place within the UK. This last one basically means that while filming sex outdoors is not a barrier per se to passing BBFC certification, the producers must be able to prove that the location could not be overlooked by the public. This, as you can appreciate, is pretty difficult to prove, and if there is even the slightest element of doubt the BBFC will cut the scene. So in summary, there is very little porn shot outdoors in the UK these days as such a scene will not pass R18 certification, thereby losing out on a large section of the potential market. It should be noted, however, that jumping on a ferry to Calais and filming your British pornsters fucking on the beach, in a field, or even in the sodding town square, is perfectly a-OK as it's only scenes filmed outdoors within the UK that the BBFC are ill-disposed towards.

sex outdoors was dropped from the bill, as it was determined that people have the right to do what they like (within reason) on their own property. also i suspect that they dont fancy the amount of work involving young people in cars and such like!
maybe it had summat to do with badger hunting as well?

a shame - 'non stop spunker' will never get past the bbfc, a classic cc loop which seems to be filmed in a british forest - somewhere.
