They could have chosen:
-not to make this video at all (They need to keep deaf friends up to speed with current teachings, so this isn't an option)-to add subtitles to a video of someone giving the talk (People born deaf are not normally accustomed to English in writing, so it would not be understandable. In order to read and understand English properly, one needs to hear and sound out the words, which deaf people have not been able to do.)-to sign by spelling out the saucier words (Spelling/reading is not an option in ASL. There is no longer any written ASL material. They tried years back, but the deaf and mute found it pointless)
Instead they chose:
-demo (Deaf friends SEEING the sign for masturbation is the same as us HEARING the actual word 'masturbation'). The word 'masturbation' is simply the English word created for the act. The visuals from the video is the ASL description of the act because they don't use words.
