Answered Question about erotica

[kevintheradioguy]

Now, I wonder. What exactly is prohibited on the website, besides the description of an intercourse.

Are innuendos OK? Characters remarking they wold love to get each other in bed? The movie version of "they make out, they fall on the bed, screen turns black, it's morning and they drink coffee"? Being naked? Having a prostitute in your house? What images are allowed (because, let's face it, erotica and porn are different things, and if a nymph has a breast popping out of her gown, it's not porn, but then again, this is an erotic photo, and yet, nothing but back and hands are shown).

I generally just want to know what's OK and what's considered breaking the rules with this. Might come out of my linguistic background that cannot see the word "erotica" as anything else but "private/sensual".

Explicit descriptions of sex or anatomy are disallowed, but implications and references aren't included in that (with some exceptions). The type of scene you describe, where it fades to black and skips over the act itself, is acceptable. Vague innuendos are also fine, such as the one you mention about wanting to get someone in bed. The point where you're referencing a more specific sexual action may breach what is acceptable though, so I'd be careful, especially with anything that references specific anatomy. A character being a prostitute or having a prostitute nearby isn't rulebreaking as long as you're following the other guidelines.

Being naked is also allowed, BUT specific description of anatomy should not occur. So you can say a character is naked, but avoid describing what they look like. Even clothed people shouldn't include references to their anatomy either.

As for pictures, don't post anything that depicts a sexual act, or anything which shows explicit parts of anatomy. (By references to anatomy, I mean primary and secondary sex characteristics). The rule is not limited to porn, since artsy pictures that don't cover the explicit anatomy is also banned. The photo you have posted does not show those parts, so it would probably slide by.

Hopefully that answers your questions Please let me know if you're still unsure about anything.

As a follow up, the site isn’t pg-13. We just don’t allow erotic content for numerous legal reasons and hassles.

does not show those parts

I think this might be the conclusion of it all, eh?

Essentially yes. This also includes euphemisms
