SUMMARY OF THE REASONS FOR DECISION:

The DVD Taboo 2001 A Sex Odyssey is classified as:

Objectionable except if the availability of the publication is restricted to persons who
have attained the age of 18 years.

The DVD contains a feature previously examined and classified in video format by the
Office of Film and Literature Classification. The video recording Taboo 2001 A Sex
Odyssey (OFLC Publication Reference No. 101787) was classified as "Objectionable
except if the availability of the publication is restricted to persons who have attained
the age of 18 years", with the descriptive note "Contains explicit sex scenes". This
decision was registered on 24 August 2001.

The DVD has a limited number of additional components, including a "bonus scene"
from another publication, a trailer for the feature and an audio commentary by the
director and cast and crew members. These other components also contain explicit
sexual material. However, this additional material does not provide grounds to alter the
classification given to the original publication.
