Well that’s just not how recommendation algorithms work. A part of it will be content based, directly related to what the user can be associated with.
However, the largest part is collaboration based filtering of content. That means, our user is put in a group based on his other preferences, assume nerdy tech stuff, and then is shown content that he has not liked yet his group of peers has, meaning he could probably like it too.
In other words - he’s not the one in fault here, YOU are. Please everyone stop clicking on this stuff so that OP don’t have to be associated with your filthy behavior, thank you.

There’s alot I could argue with but maybe the best answer I have is: why just the shorts? The rest of my YouTube feed kinda sucks but it isn’t porn or titillating at all.

Theyre separate algorithms so its prolly the only type of shorts youve clicked or hovered over for a some time

That’s the thing, I think I’ve watched maybe 2 shorts ever, pretty sure they were not like these or at least only mildly sexy

But it’s Google, so they know your browsing history and have you in a “bucket” for what their metrics think will drive engagement from you. (Or they don’t know enough about you and just think boobs will get you intersted, because sex sells.)
Meh. We’re all human. If Google thinks you like thirst traps, whatevs. Pretty ladies are pretty ladies.
But if you don’t want to see it, you can probably use feedback tools to change what they show you.
