is it true all sex scenes were cut off?


I heard the movie was butched, all sex scenes were deleted, i was wondering from where in the movie the scenes were taken off and how it changed the story.
(sorry from spelling mistakes, my english is not very good today)

some sex scenes were still there...

There were several whole scenes removed from the film - the so called unrated or uncut versions on sale on DVD are still not fully uncut. Some of those uncut scenes are around on various websites having been leaked.

There was a rather stupid quick scene in David Morrissey's office on his table.

There is much longer sex scene between David Morrissey and his female colleague.

Plus the orgy scene is more explicit and a whole threesome scene was removed - not sure if this was the producers or directors idea but Michael Caton-Jones does remark on his commentary that he had to digitally alter one scene which came before the threesome once it was cut out of the story line.

I really wonder if the "unrated/uncut" editions etc of the DVD were all part of a sales ploy considering that Basic Instinct 2 generally wasn't a major success.

First they released the original theatrical version with scenes edited/cut out (and no extra/special features?). But of course people wouldn't know this unless they did research and realised the cut/edited content.

Then they released a supposedly "uncut" version which had some of the edited/cut content from the previous reintroduced. but not everything that was cut/edited was re-instated in the uncut version (and still no extra/special features content on the DVD) so anyone who wanted to see the cut scenes would have to buy this one.

So what next?? are they gonna have yet another "deluxe/ultimate/special edition" version of the movie with all the cut scenes restored and maybe some special features and extras on the DVD so that people finally can watch all the content.
