I do not see Rudy's dick so it's not revenge porn.

(ii) such other person engaging in sexual conduct as defined in subdivision ten of section 130.00 of this chapter with another person; and
(b) such still or video image was taken under circumstances when the person depicted had a reasonable expectation that the image would remain private and the actor knew or reasonably should have known the person depicted intended for the still or video image to remain private, regardless of whether the actor was present when the still or video image was taken.

"Sexual conduct" means sexual intercourse, oral sexual conduct,
anal sexual conduct, aggravated sexual contact, or sexual contact.
Honestly, if I'm reading the law correctly, there might be a loophole that you could argue that revenge porn laws haven't been violated as long as there's neither explicit nudity nor physical sexual contact nor penetration with a foreign object- even if the conduct filmed was obviously sexually explicit and compromising / intimate. Which goes against the whole spirit of the law Cuomo signed last year. Herp a derp.
Lets say a guy filmed his ex-girlfriend masturbating with a dildo, but the actual penetration was obscured by a conveniently located piece of furniture and she was wearing a top, so you just got the partial view of her orgasming. And then he shared that as revenge porn. Could he sneak by, saying that technically there's no sexual intercourse, oral contact, anal contact, foreign objects or physical contact with another person, nor explicit nudity?
I'm not sure that's a very good argument for outlets to share pics of Giuliani getting blueballed
