Harder softcore

[Paul Tavener]

Yes the BBFC did relax their guidelines a little bit, but I don't believe what is now being shown on some uk sat channels would meet even the slightly relaxed BBFC standard. "sex works at 18" are not permitted to show female genitals in close up unless I am mistaken.

The ITC programme code effectively says that content stronger than 18 can be shown on subscription channels, but R18 can't (which is of course complete nonsense). I heard that the ITC were already concerned about the new BBFC changes but alas (HA!) ceased to exist before they could do any more damage.

What realy puzzles me is why some channels show more than others. This would never have happen a few years ago as everyone wanted to be the strongest around. The only thing I can think of is that some of the adult service broadcasters arn't aware of the situation - although this seems unlikely.

I wonder if the likes of TAC and TVX have so much edited hardcore and softcore that to dump it all in favour of full hardcore would be ludicrously expensive?

Also many of the actresses who have done softcore won't do harder stuff. In my opinion many of the recent girls on TAC and TVX are much less good looking than past years. Many of the really beautiful models don't do hardcore because they earn more by being "legit". I doubt Rebekah Teasdale, Jo Guest or Jakki Degg would do Anal Gangbang 53 with a couple of ugly tattooed studs?!!

Which channels are the most/more explicit?

TIA

[Paul Tavener]

XplicitXXX is definitely and sportsXXXgirls I think include the more explicit content. TAC does not (yet), but I am not sure about the others. If anyone knows what content is being shown on which channels please let me know!

[Pianaman]

NTL now seem to have dropped 90% of their pay per view adult content. They don't have either of those sites either

[mutanthalibut]

I've got NTL also, Pianaman is correct we don't get either of the above. The channels available are on pay per view at ?6 / night.

Channels available consist of;

TAC
TVX Fantasy
Playboy
Spice
Private Blue
Private Girls
The Red Hot Channels.

Does anyone know which of the above are the most explicit?
I've seen the 1st three.

[Heathray]

NTL could go out of business unless they sort themselves out.

Their finances are in a sorry state and keep restructuring debts which is always a bad sign.

I digress. Private Blue varies from explicit to heavily edited Euro stuff.
Red Hot is reruns of old TVX shows so tame.

[Cringemaker]

I suppose some channels, XXXplicit it seems, are willing to risk being fined.

A fining could be considered as good publicity for the channel in this market.

If they are clobbered too much they could just start up again under a different name, n'est pas?

[Paul Tavener]

So TAC, TVX Fantasy and Playboy do not show the more explicit content yet - correct? If so when did you last check (I imagine there could be some changes going on sometime soon so I will need to track the channels content with dates)

[Paul Tavener]

so Red hot is not upto the new explicitness standard but Private Blue is (at least some of the time)?
Please can you let me know the dates when you last saw this content
