Just had to throw in a comment about the erotic vs explicit content. I now know that it probably doesn't matter much as far as keeping the photo police out of your hair, but I have given this a lot of thought since the subject came up. To me, there are really three groupings. 1. Erotic, i.e. suggestive of sexual arousal, but without any frontal nudity at all. 2. Enticing, which is where I would prefer to have the line drawn. This group would include photos of genitals in flaccid, partially aroused, and erect state, but without any sexual activity being included, either still photos or video excerpts. 3. The truly pornographic, which we all can get for free almost anywhere, where the photos and videos clearly show participants involved in sexual activity of some sort. I don't believe in censorship of any kind, but I didn't and wouldn't subscribe to your site if what I wanted to see was pornography. But the second group provides us with a whole class of photos and videos which are almost impossible to find in any other way and yet serve an important role when evaluating and demonstrating the whole range of nudity. To be clear, I am not asking you to risk your income on the arbitrary views of a few self-centered credit card execs, but I am hoping that you will agree that this "third" category of nudity is real and very hard to find.

Thank you for sharing your pov on the subject. I've been doing a lot of thinking and research on the subject and my preference would be with yours at "enticing." Alas, every reading and legal interpretation I can find of the terms of service lead me to avoid showing full genitalia for fear of being demonetized. After losing a full month of growth and momentum on YouTube last year for simply linking to art photo sources, I don't have the energy to fight another losing battle with bureaucrats. So I'm doing my best to find "enticing" beauty and beauty...without the full monty. I don't understand how our natural state has become so politicized. It makes me angry, but I must admit the pressure to deliver dicks for days is liberating. I'm more a "beauty and booty" kind of guy. I hope the latest videos are working for you. Feel free to reach out privately if you have suggestions. Appreciate you, your support, and your understanding.

I understand. That's why I said both "I am not asking you to risk your income on the....." and "I now know that....". Keep on trucking. Some day censorship may actually return to some more reasonable level.
