Sexual content
No matter whether you are creating or watching sexual content online, it is vital that you understand the sexual content policies imposed by different platforms. While in the past these restrictions were fairly vague, companies now take much greater strides to control what content can be posted online and regulate it more strictly than ever before.
Your videos must not show depictions of genitalia, breasts or buttocks (either clothed or unclothed) for „sexual gratification” or to depict sexual acts. Videos focusing on partial nudity, sex toys, erotic massage services or marriage services as well as similar products could also be restricted or blocked.
Age restrictions also restrict what content can be produced; typically you must be 18 or 21 to upload videos in most regions; some countries might impose higher restrictions.
Another key restriction is that your sex video must not promote or advertise adult and sexual products such as pornography, escorts or prostitutes; such actions would violate federal law and result in legal consequences as well as having your account suspended.
Although this may seem like an overwhelming barrier, many creators who exclusively work in the sex industry have managed to survive these bans by shifting platforms – for instance OnlyFans is an established website with 130 million users and two million creators – recently changing its policy, offering good news to creators who rely on it as their income stream.
These changes might not be sufficient for those looking to continue producing videos with sexual themes, and should OnlyFans backtrack and put a cap on all sexual content, they could risk losing many customers.
