The BBFC claims the British audience consulted on classifications had changed their views of sex since 2014, and wanted higher classifications for sexual content, especially with regard to sexual violence.
The British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) have released new guidlines to reflect the public’s shifting views on sexual content and violence.
“We are updating our standards around depictions of sexual violence and very strong sex references to reflect changes in public attitudes.”
The BBFC is a not-for-profit organisation which began as the British Board of Film Censors in 1912.
