Sexual Content

BandLab values creative expression, but we do not allow explicit sexual content. This includes adult nudity, sexual activity, or solicitation, even if consensual, because our community spans many ages and cultures. We also remove content or language that is clearly meant to be sexually arousing. Some mildly-suggestive, non-explicit material may be allowed if it is part of artistic expression, under our Mature Themes policy.

For avoidance of doubt, 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).
  • This applies even if the intimate body part is pixelated, or partially exposed through intimate clothing (thongs, nipple covers, lingerie which are crotchless or with cut-outs).
• Adult sexual activity, including but not limited to:
  • Sexual activities (penetrative sex, oral sex, non-penetrative sex or masturbation).
  • Depicting or discussing 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. These can include explicit or implicit information for the above services.
• Suggestive adult content or language
  • Content that emphasizes intimate body parts or behavior with clear intent to purely elicit sexual arousal (e.g., intimate clothing, overtly sexual poses, striptease or pelvic thrusts).
  • Graphic language or profanity detailing sexual arousal, intercourse, intimate body parts or fetish activities.
  • Extended audio of sexual activity (moaning, grunts, expletives etc).

 Allowed

• Full or partial exposure of buttocks or female nipples/areola due to traditional costumes in cultural contexts.
• Full or partial exposure of female nipples/areola in educational contexts (e.g. breastfeeding, or mastectomy surgery).
• Mild body exposure in clothing that is acceptable attire in public (e.g. active-wear, cropped tops, swimwear).
