Why is it that some European porn is apparently banned in the U.S? Take the company Euro X DVD. Have a look and see if you can see anything on the cover which would indicate why it would be banned in the U.S because I'm at a loss-

Sperm Swappers

I have a few of these titles and there's nothing in them that Evil Empire, Private, etc wouldn't have. Anal, DP, blowjobs, gapes, ass smothering, etc. There is absolutely nothing in them that American titles don't have...

Maybe they put the "Banned in America" to appeal to those who like having things that appear to be not so legal.

But fisting, and various other acts are considered obscene acts in most of America, and therefore fisting is usually edited from US versions.

When you say "various other acts", what would they include? I honestly didn't know that fisting was considered so taboo in the U.S, not that it's something that I'm particularly fond of, anyway.

But surely it's false advertising if you put "Banned in America" when it contains no such content. OK, I must admit, there are some Euro X DVD titles which have fisting as the main subject but not all of them.

Anyway, "The Narcassist" is an American film, directed by Ariana Jollee and that features Audrey Hollander getting fisted. Or is that scene removed from the U.S. version since I have the version which also says "Uncensored"
The company is actually Anarchy Films and the distributor Extreme Video, based in Holland, so that could explain it.

Many films have American actors but they are performed and distributed outside of the U.S.

It may have a fisting scene or something.

Nothing is "banned" in the USA. Some things are pretty certain to get you prosecuted, though. Scat, for one.

All this company's dvds say "banned in America" on the cover. My guess: clearly their dvds are compilations, not original productions; I think they have bought up the rights to the scenes included on their titles but not the rights to distribute them in the US; this allows them to put "banned in America" on the cover, so implying some paticularly strong content, while actually being only a statement about the limits of their copyright. So the statement is not quite true, it is intended to deceive, but it is not so false as to be entirely indefensible if the need arose.

There are two versions to a lot of movies. Euro and US versions.

US versions, with pissing (piss drinking, piss bathing, and general piss play) usually being edited out. Fisting is edited from US versions too.

Max Hardcore is one director that consistently releases two versions of his work. The heavily edited US versions, and no edits Euro versions.

I always thought maybe that was so Max could charge two or three times as much for the unedited versions...

Quite right, Lost Horizon. I think you're bang on the mark. I also think they are compilations, particularly because they are 4 hours (well, they claim to be, in reality they are shorter)

So I assume that American actors who perform with scat, probably did not film in the U.S. but rather somewhere in Europe to avoid being prosecuted? Not that I own such films but just wondering out of curiosity.

I had a look at some of Max Hardcore stuff and tbo, the girls look like **** They all seem to be really skinny and below average looking. What a difference when you compare MH to Evil Empire, for example.

^ I went to MHs homepage some days ago to see what the fuss is all about. My mistake, I'm certainly not judging what turns other people on, but for me, that was disgusting.

I guess the girls are so thin because he likes them like that, imho most of them look deplorable even before he starts to degrate them. Added (and needed) bonus for Max is that their skinny bodies make his dick appear bigger.

The USA content editing goes far beyond that. Besides any golden shower footage, "edgy" dialog (anything related to young age or incest), fisting, and scat is edited out. I've not seen Max Hardcore titles with scat in them, but others have mentioned these scenes exist. The continuity of the scenes is preserved as well.

Well said, MissJanet. They do look deplorable before any sex actually takes place, don't they? Me personally, I can't stand girls being so skinny because they look positively unhealthy

Compare those to, say, Olivia O'Lovely. She has a lovely, healthy looking face and she glows all over. These look like they've just returned from a 2 month starvation in Chad.

Usually, it is the producers and distributors who get prosecuted, not the performers.

They're so thin because he's playing to the pedophiles, as well as the misogynists.
