Perky_gurl added these pithy words on Nov 05 08 at 2:02 pmA sexully explicit movie gets the Rating “X” from the censor board…therefore a triple X would be super sexy!

J.B. Holiday added these pithy words on Nov 11 08 at 8:41 amX was the rating used for above R, and then when hardcore porn came out they used XXX. I believe XX was used but that was lame.
birdbayboy added these pithy words on Nov 14 08 at 5:42 amI think it has to do with movie ratings……….PG, R, etc. A rating of X had sexual content and then the more X’s the worse it got…………OK?

J Martin added these pithy words on Nov 19 08 at 4:54 amBecause typically, when something is censored or edited, it is replaced with X’s. As with video, that’s the most they can do when they are putting it into text. Anything and everything should be censored or edited.

dks824 added these pithy words on Nov 21 08 at 10:32 pmX was a film rating instituted by the BBFC (British Board of Film Classification) back in the 50s, for explicit material in films that wasn’t suitable for viewers under 16 (This rating replaced the rating of H, or Horrific). A lot of films received an X-rating because of nudity or sexuality.
I’m just speculating, but something that is XXX is probably considered extremely sexually explicit, thus is probably why these letters are associated with the sex industry.
Whisperer added these pithy words on Nov 23 08 at 7:01 pmTo rate a movie having sex, sex-sex, or sex-sex-sex, it’s easier to call it xxx (just like lol, lmao, brb etc.)
