Can anyone enlighten me as to whether the Ben Dover series of movies is censored in the US compared with the European versions?

Pasky: I don't know, I've never seen a Ben Dover movie that wasn't packaged for US release, so it's hard to tell whether there are any differences.
I've always found Steve Perry videos to be somewhat tame compared to some of the stuff here in the States. I always just chalked that up to the fact that he was probably filming for the British market (despite the disclaimer at the beginning that says he's not).
You might want to check the RAME reviews and compare them against the one's you've seen. If there's any sort of censorship one way or another, you should be able to detect it there.

Let us know what you find--I'm actually curious myself. Steve seems to be quite the porn pioneer in the UK and the chess match between him and the government is interesting to follow.

P.S. What's your take on all of the British male bashing that Ben and his models engage in? I mean, it must be somewhat insulting to hear girls say that British guys can't fuck to save their lives and that Ben always brings over his American and Belgian friends to satisfy these sex-starved girls!

From the info I have gathered from other sources, it seems that some of the Ben Dover films in the series have been censored in the US (I think they're distribited by VCA over there), especially when it comes to "golden shower" scenes, which, apparently are present in the European versions.
Sadly, only 2 of his movies are available on DVD: Porno Groupies & London Calling. I think they're European Region Free discs, so they should be uncut.
As far as the videos sold by Your Choice, Your Scene and Vidshop go, I'm not sure if they are PAL versions of the American VCA releases or uncut European ones. I've e-mailed them, but have had no replies.
Male-bashing of Brits? That's an interesting one. I would think that Steve is probably right in his description of most British males when it comes to performing on camera, with a few exceptions. Reminds me of the joke about the two Enlish guys chatting. One says to the other "How long does it take for a woman to come?" The other replies "Who Cares!" I guess that just about sums up most British guys' attitudes to having sex.
Personally, I don't really care about him giving British males a hard time.....I'm Polish (please, no jokes!).
