Adults should be free to choose their own
entertainment. Exceptions are most likely
in the following areas:
• where the material is in breach of the criminal law,
or has been created through the commission of a
criminal offence
• where material or treatment appears to us to risk
harm to individuals or, through their behavior, to
society. For example, the detailed portrayal of violent
or dangerous acts, or of illegal drug use, which may
cause harm to public health or morals. This may
include portrayals of sadistic or sexual violence
which make this violence look appealing; reinforce
the suggestion that victims enjoy sexual violence; or
which invite viewer complicity in sexual violence or
other harmful violent activities
• where there are more explicit images of sexual
activity in the context of a sex work (see below) or
where the primary purpose of the images in question
is sexual arousal
In the case of video works, which may be more
accessible to younger viewers, intervention may be
more frequent than for cinema films.
Sex education at 18:
Where sex material genuinely seeks to inform and
educate in matters such as human sexuality or safer
sex and health, explicit images of sexual activity may
be permitted.
Sex works at 18:Sex works are works whose primary purpose is
sexual arousal or stimulation. Sex works containing
only material which may be simulated are generally
passed 18. Sex works containing clear images of real
sex, strong fetish material, sexually explicit animated
images, or other very strong sexual images will
be confined to the R18 category. Material which is
unacceptable in a sex work at R18 is also unacceptable
in a sex work at 18.
