No. I'm stating that if gender/phenotype/age constitutes your prism, explicit fare is the only form of (one-hand casual) video entertainment coming to mind which explicitly categorises by those axes.
I mean, I heard from a friend, who certainly wasn't involved with making any of the stuff, that that's how such sites operate.
