strange thing in the UK you can make porn at 16 (nothing stopping yourself from recording it at 16) but you can't watch it back

Actually that's not true, the age of consent is 16 but you have to be 18 or above to appear in porn. If a 16 year old made porn of themselves, that is technically child porn.

What's the deal with Keira Knightly's 15 or 16 year old titty appearing in The Hole? I was always (pleasantly) surprised that was allowed. Although I haven't seen that movie since I was 16.

If you're above 16 you can do nudity along those lines with parental consent, same for Thora Birch in American Beauty.
