I ran into this while I was looking for info about whether found feathers can have any germs or mites or whatever (probably not). I love the wealth of g-rated porn that has blossomed under YouTube’s anti-nudity terms of service. I don’t think they intended to create a video sharing service where only kinky sexplay is allowed (watching women fart, smelling socks…), but I guess that’s a fairly predictable side-effect of banning mainstream, tab-a-slot-b, show-the-boobs sex in an online space.
So far I haven’t found anything especially subversive— lots of groomed women and muscular men, lots of hypergender, whatever— but I actually like this tickling video because the tickler and the ticklee seem to have actual communication with each other. “OK, OK,” feet flex, feet relax. That’s kind of magic to see on YouTube.
Having pondered this for a couple of days, I think what makes me so happy about the non-porn on youtube is how much easier it is to ban mainstream sex than to actually ban sexuality or sexual expression. Variety is robust!
It would maybe be even funnier to have a video sharing service that banned sexual “deviance” but not conventional achievement-oriented, genital-focussed sexual activities.
