Everything You Need to Know About Shooting Spicy Scenes Without the Drama
Whether you’re a seasoned content creator or just getting into the game, one of the most common questions we hear is:
“Where can I legally shoot adult content in the UK?”
Let’s break it down — no legal jargon, no moral panic. Just the real tea.
🏛️ Is It Legal to Film Porn in the UK?
Short answer: Yes.
Longer answer: You can legally film and sell adult content in the UK as long as:
- Everyone involved is over 18 and has consented.
- You’re not filming in public spaces (unless fully permitted and risk-assessed).
- You’re not breaking any obscenity or extreme content laws.
(Basically, the BBFC and CPS have some no-gos – best to avoid anything violent, non-consensual, or involving bodily waste.)
If you’re filming for your own private use or to post on your own platforms like OnlyFans, you’re generally in the clear.
🏢 Can You Rent a Studio for Adult Content?
Yes — but not all studios are that kind of studio.
At HOM Studios, we proudly cater to adult creators, sex workers, fetish photographers, and anyone who wants to create premium spicy content in a safe, private, beautifully-designed space.
What makes HOM different?
- Full privacy (no walk-ins or nosy neighbours)
- Purpose-built rooms (dungeon, rig room, glam bedroom, etc)
- Equipment like ring lights, slings, vac beds, and sound baffling
- No judgment, no restrictions (as long as you follow the house rules)
🛑 Where You Shouldn’t Film
- Public parks, alleyways, trains, hotels, Airbnb properties — unless you have full permission (and even then, it’s dodgy territory).
- Studio spaces that don’t allow adult work — they might ban you, report you, or even fine you.
Pro tip: If a space isn’t explicitly adult-friendly, assume it’s not.
📝 Do You Need a Licence?
Not for filming.
But if you’re broadcasting live sex acts to an audience from the UK (like a cam show), then yes — the AVMS Regulations kick in and you may need to register with Ofcom.
Most content creators on platforms like OnlyFans, LoyalFans, or ManyVids don’t need a licence, but it’s worth checking if you’re streaming live.
✅ Checklist for Legal & Safe Filming in the UK:
- ✔️ Consent forms signed
- ✔️ Proof of age for everyone
- ✔️ Private, secure filming location (like HOM Studios)
- ✔️ No public indecency or trespassing
- ✔️ Clear idea of what’s legally publishable (don’t risk it for a kink)
