left-hand porn
(noun) A category of adult media that strays far enough from the viewer's established norms that continued use of the dominant hand would feel like an endorsement. Unwilling to stop, yet equally unwilling to be fully implicated, the viewer transfers operations to the non-dominant hand, achieving what researchers call "plausible deniability from oneself."
The practice rests on the widely held and entirely unexamined belief that the right hand is the hand of record: it signs mortgages and shakes your father-in-law's hand, and must be kept out of this. The left hand has no reputation to protect and has seen worse.
The defining feature is the moment of conscious transfer, typically accompanied by a brief pause, a glance at the door, and the thought "okay, but just this once."
Usage notes: For left-handed individuals the term is inverted. The ambidextrous operate without any moral framework whatsoever and should not be trusted.
Generalized usage: The "porn" may be dropped and the term applied to any event, decision, or behavior a few steps past normal, something you witnessed or took part in but would prefer not to have on your permanent record. Functions as an adjective: "left-hand."
