Could I run afoul of Adsense TOS if I show racy Youtube videos?

I will be installing a script that will, among other things, show You Tube videos for whatever search term a user enters. I'd like to run Google Adsense ads on the page. But I was wondering, what if someone searches for something like "lesbian" or another adult term and the videos that come up are a bit racy? While I go against the Adsense TOS? Some are more racy than you might expect on YT. You'd think that since Google owns both Adsense and You Tube, it would be okay, but I'm just checking.

Thanks.

You can't show adult content and AdSense ads together.

But don't just take my word for it. Go to http://google.com/adsense and search for "adult" etc.

I understand that and that's why I'm asking. Are "racy" Youtube ads, without showing nudity, "adult"? Try this: key in "lesbian kiss" in YT and see what comes up. It's women kissing in very sexy ways. But there is no nudity. Is that adult? It is on Google's You Tube site, if that means anything.

I don't know if chicks that kiss are lesbian. I sure think they are hot. Google seems to run the show for their ads, therefore ask them.

Does Google actually answer questions, in a timely fashion?

I had automated content on my site, with some words Google's robots didn't like, and I actually got contacted, and removed all the unfavorable words. I would be very careful with Google, they are dictators. BTW, the Google representative was very nice. The words were less adult type then lesbian as well.

YT requires a login to an account for "adult" content but I dont know what their differentiator is as to what is and what aint, would it not be possible to disable serving adsense based on a trigger linked to whether your user had to log in or not. Im guessing this may help?

They generally warn first. It's happened to me twice!

I'm surprised I haven't been banned at times... must have been the lack of traffic.
