19. this shot of the video is another point. for a year or two, i have noticed many videos

where there is a sexualized near naked woman like this video.

so i click on the video to find out what it is showing. inevitably, there is little to nothing in the video about or with naked or near naked sexualized woman but a second, or not even a second a flash of cleavage, bikini, or what not. a fuckin ten minute video that has nothing to do with it. but ALWAYS the shot on the front of it is provocative woman.

i have seen it so much of late with all these embedded videos, and being computer illiterate, i was going to ask, do people find the shot to put on front or does the embedding grasp a shot for the front. i couldn't believe that it would always be the second of provocative woman.

i got an iphone from hubby for christmas. was playing with video. and saw all the clips to pick up top. and i got my answer. these videos that have the screen shot works hard to get any shot of a woman sexualized.

just a point i have noticed of late.
