So, will we able to share Youtube clips or is this a one off?
It appears we now have the functionality. 
I think as long as it doesn’t get abused it should be okay? There was nothing offensive about @Funbigguy’s clip, and it would make a song/music topic more interesting and relevant. I suppose we’ll see what @Lovehoney_Brenna says.
Pop some in so she can see a few examples of how you’d use it. 
ETA: The only thing I can think of so far is that we’ve been asked to keep all ‘photos’ to the Your Photos category. But these are links, and they don’t work the same as uploaded media, so I’m not sure they’re the same?
Welcome to the Members’ Photo Upload Category! You can post your photos only in this category, posting photos elsewhere will result in your Trust Level being reduced and Photo Privileges removed. You must be at least Tru… read more

@Ian_Chimp Yup, looks like youtube links work 
However I wonder if ‘‘18+’’ videos/ songs are allowed. You know, the kind that you have to have a youtube account and verify your age so you can see them. One example is the unedited version of ‘‘Rammstein - Pussy’’.
This is my absolute favourite from Ordo Rosarius Equilibrio, by the way:

I’d say YouTube links are fine (we have some super helpful tips over on the Lovehoney YouTube channel 
)!
I’m pretty sure the most you’ll find on a YouTube video is discussions about sex, not actual porn (although correct me if I am wrong). Let’s say YouTube links are allowed, but i will reassess if things start to get rule-breaky.

It will be good to recommend our favourite music etc, as long as it’s not offensive.

To be honest, I know very little about YouTube. If you mean it might throw up a technical hitch when you try and post an R18 then you’d have to try it and see. This is an over-18 site though, so I think the majority would be fine? You’d just have to make sure they complied with the Forum Rules (or face the Wrath of the Moderator ).

@Ian_Chimp If it works like it does on Facebook and other sites, you see a preview (like the ones for the videos posted above) but when you click ‘‘play’’ you are asked to confirm your age by logging in/ signing up to youtube.
I’ve just posted a couple of Lovehoney ones in Squirting/Orgasm - Are they the same?. I think they’re age-restricted?
@Lovehoney_Brenna Although actual porn isn’t allowed on youtube, some videos contain explicit scenes. Maybe they go against the ‘‘no inappropriate images’’ rule?
And if that’s the case, maybe the forum rules should be updated to include what’s allowed when it comes to videos, not only photos?
For example you can search on youtube for Marilyn Manson - (s)AINT (Explicit). In the thumbnail he’s got his arm resting above his head, if that helps. I refrained from linking to the video because I don’t want to break the rules 
No idea, but that’s likely given the subjects they talk about.
I don’t dare log out of youtube to check because I don’t remember my password to log back in 
Oh lordy, okay I stand corrected! Definitely gonna need to pop that in the rules. We could stick to lyric videos maybe?

Or maybe ‘‘family-friendly’’ videos - or wherever Lovehoney draws the line.
Most youtube videos do not show hard sex, drugs etc. It’s only a small portion that does, therefore I think it wouldn’t hurt to be able to share any of the others.
I’m sure that the LH associates who are responsible for writing the rules, policies etc can come up with a such wording that protects both LH and the forum members.

Ya youtube is selective with how they filter and treat things, example sex education gets looked down and flagged a lot etc yet they will have ads on stuff for kids for things definitely not for kids. Just watched one calling them out for it and literally had a crotchless pantie ad on a kids video.
Also yes the lovehoney youtube channel is great! Thats actually how I found out about the forums.
