Sexual Content

BandLab values creative expression, but we don't allow explicit sexual content, even if consensual, because our community spans many ages and cultures. We also remove content that is clearly meant to be sexually arousing. Some mildly suggestive, non-explicit material may be allowed as artistic expression under our Mature Themes policy. 

Sexual content or behaviour involving young people is covered separately under our Minor Safety policies.

  Not allowed

Adult nudity

Full or partial exposure of intimate body parts, such as genitalia, buttocks or female breasts (including nipple or areola).

Applies even if pixelated, or partially exposed through intimate clothing (thongs, nipple covers, crotchless or cut-out lingerie).

Adult sexual activity

Depicting or discussing sexual activity, including:

  • Sexual activities (penetrative, oral, non-penetrative sex or masturbation)
  • Fetish or kink activities, or usage of sex products
  • Soliciting or offering sexual services, e.g. prostitution, erotic massages, sexcam/chats, escort and BDSM businesses, whether explicit or implicit

Suggestive adult content or language

Content that emphasizes intimate body parts or behavior with clear intent to purely elicit sexual arousal.
