AMSTERDAM — Dutch transportation authorities are investigating premium platforms such as F2F and OnlyFans, attempting to locate sex videos shot aboard the country’s trains.
The investigation was made public in a sensationalizing article published Monday by Dutch news site NOS, claiming that more than 100 “disgusting and unacceptable videos of ‘train jerk-offs’” — their term for public masturbators — are available on members-only content platforms.
The article quotes salacious excerpts from the alleged audio of these videos, such as, “The 20-minute train ride from Almere to Amsterdam makes me horny every time.”
“These videos were recorded with phones in compartments, where sometimes unsuspecting passengers are also filmed,” the NOS article explains, adding with clinical lubricity, “In about half of the cases, the maker also finishes.”
According to NOS, teasers for these public videos are accessible on X.
The article, and presumably the transportation authorities’ investigation — only focuses on public masturbation videos by cis men, and not any other kind of public content.
A Dutch OnlyFans manager told the site that the popularity of these “train jerk-off” videos has increased in the past year.
“These types of videos yield three to four times more than a regular video of two people having sex in a room,” he explained. “Also they are often done on request, which means a higher payment.”
NOS pointed out that although public masturbation is prohibited under Dutch criminal law, it was only on July 1 that a moving train was legally redefined as “a public place.”
Dutch railway company NS told NOS that it “recognizes the relatively new problem” and called the videos “disgusting and unacceptable.” An NS rep added that “the extent of the phenomenon is not yet entirely clear, although it appears that it may occur more often than we think.”
NS said they are currently researching “how many of these types of videos are online and, together with the judiciary and the police, investigate whether more should be done about this.”
As XBIZ reported, Dutch courts have been policing tube sites for content featuring Dutch nationals and issuing takedown notices to platforms who cannot produce consent paperwork.
