Hi Michael F. Herrmann,

As you may know, our Community Guidelines describe which content we allow – and don’t allow – on YouTube. Your video Sex Slave was flagged to us for review. Upon review, we’ve determined that it may not be suitable for all viewers and it has been placed behind an age restriction.

Video content restrictions

If a video contains nudity, pornography, or other sexually provocative content, it's less likely to be allowed on YouTube. YouTube reviews content on a case by case basis and will make limited exceptions for appropriate educational, documentary, artistic, and scientific contexts. In such cases, we may apply an age restriction so that only viewers over a certain age can view the content. Learn more here.

How you can respond

If you believe this was a mistake, we’d like to hear from you. To appeal this age restriction, please submit this form. Our team will thoroughly review your appeal and will contact you again very soon.

Sincerely,
- The YouTube Team


On 8.Apr.23, while looking for a video of Audrey, I discovered the Sex Slave video doesn't have -- at least for me -- an age restriction. So either they know it's I who looked at it or they removed the age restriction. Either way, I re-added it to this post.


I thought anatomically-correct dolls were de rigueur. What's surprising (to me) is the vid has had >4k views! It'll be interesting to see if this raises the numbers. When Jesse Helms raised Cain to get him to complain about images in *The Perfect Moment* in Cincinnati, nearly 80% of the town's populous went to see the show. According to Wendy Steiner in her book The Scandal of Pleasure, not one person complained.
