The following content is not acceptable

* any material which is in breach of the criminal law.
* material (including dialogue) likely to encourage an interest in abusive sexual activity (e.g., paedophilia, incest) which may include depictions involving adults role-playing as non-adults.
* the portrayal of any sexual activity, whether real or simulated, which involves lack of consent.
* the infliction of pain or physical harm, real or (in a sexual context) simulated. Some allowance may be made for mild consensual activity.
* any sexual threats or humiliation which do not form part of a clearly consenting role-playing game.
* the use of any form of physical restraint which prevents participants from withdrawing consent, for example, ball gags.
* penetration by any object likely to cause actual harm or associated with violence.
* activity which is degrading or dehumanising (examples include the portrayal of bestiality, necrophilia, defecation, urolagnia).

Obviously the scene I mentioned has "urolagnia content".

Why they find "urolagnia" degrading or dehumanising is beyond my comprehension...

The BBFC always appear to be terribly concerned about context, which I've tended to interpret as a get-out clause for their highly subjective judgements. Another problem is that the BBFC still censor movies from the perspective that they know better than the (adult) audience, who they consider likely to copy harmful or illegal stuff etc etc.

You can pick those rules apart one by one, but let's take the case of watersports, and that all-important context. Why would clearly consensual pee-play (not an illegal act) between adults who are shown to be enjoying the act be considered degrading?

I just can't imagine Viv Thomas would risk issuing a different version of the movie after having a softer, shall we say, version rated by the BBFC, so it must mean they've seen it and either OK'd it or simply missed it. The latter seems hard to believe too.

Couldn't believe it myself, but I replayed the scene several times, it's short (15 to 20 seconds max), but it's definitely there!

Does that make the work of Mother Productions/Fetish Films—specifially, my belovedPeeing #14: Extreme Close-ups —illegal in the U.K. (And, Joey, did you not say once that you bought this title in a brick-and-mortar shop in London?)
