This website is for < strong > real< / strong > nudists and exhibitionists who are not
afraid to show their face and verify themselves as being a real person.
< / p >
< p >
You do NOT need to include your face and nude body in a picture together; but a
picture of your face must be somewhere on your profile page, including as your
default profile picture.
< / p >
< p >
The following are the < strong > bare minimum requirements< / strong > for members of
this website:
< / p >
< ul >
< li > You must < strong > have a face picture< / strong > as your default profile photo.< / li >
< li >
You must < strong > upload a "verification selfie"< / strong > which includes your
face and depicts you holding a hand-written note on paper to verify that
you're a real person.
< / li >
< / ul >
< p >
Your verification photo will only be seen by site administrators and will not
appear on your profile page.
< / p >
< p >
Having a nude pic on your profile is optional, but encouraged. You are on a nudist
website after all, and other members will feel more comfortable if you join in!

It is < strong > prohibited< / strong > to use {{PrettyTitle}}'s website to facilitate or have conversations
about illegal activity (as known to the United States) regarding child sexual abuse (defined in the US
as < em > ANY< / em > sexual contact between a child under the age of consent, usually 18 years old, with an
adult older than 18 years old). Do NOT discuss
past or future crimes in violation of the law in this regard. If you have received a DM from a member
which ventures into this topic, please < a href = "/contact?intent=report" > report them< / a > to the admins
or directly contact the < a href = "https://www.missingkids.org" > National Center for Missing & Exploited Children< / a > .
< / p >
< p >
The following are a non-exhaustive list of prohibited activities that may result in your {{PrettyTitle}}
account being banned and/or reported to the relevant law enforcement agency:
< / p >
< ul >
< li >
Dropping "hints" on your profile page about pedophilia. We don't want to see any 'dog whistle' hints
on your profile page advertising your children or your interest in children. Note: a listing of known
dog whistles is intentionally withheld here. Trust that we have a long list of known dog whistles.
< / li >
2023-08-13 05:18:23 +00:00
< li >
Talking about "nudist families" or "raising your nudist family" or similar: this is a < strong > red flag< / strong > as
these conversations all too often are code words for bad news.
< / li >
2023-07-28 03:19:37 +00:00
< li >
Having conversations over Direct Message (whether on the main website or the chat room) of a criminal
nature in regards to the law in the United States.
< / li >
< li >
Advertising to people that they can come over and 'hang out naked' with your nudist family including
your children.
< / li >
< li >
Attempting to bend or circumvent detection or press on the rules of this website in this regard.
< / li >
< / ul >
< p >
As a good general rule of thumb: < strong > if you have children, don't talk about them< / strong > here.

< p >
To help enforce community guidelines, {{PrettyTitle}} utilizes automated message filters that run on the chat
room and main website which will monitor for keywords and automatically flag conversations for admin review.
The primary keywords we monitor for are those relating to < a href = "#child-exploitation" > child exploitation< / a >
or hate speech (racial slurs and dog whistles known to be associated with hate groups).

< / p >
< p >
It is NOT acceptable to download photos of other {{PrettyTitle}} members and repost them onto other websites
or apps elsewhere on the Internet (without the express knowledge and consent of the individual pictured). We know
there are < a href = "/faq#downloading" > risks inherent with sharing a picture online< / a > but it is a violation of
personal autonomy and consent when you learn that your photos were stolen and distributed on social media somewhere
without your prior knowledge.
< / p >
< p >
This should have been an obvious rule, but any confirmed violations of this after 2023/11/24 will result in a
permanent ban from the {{PrettyTitle}} website for any member caught redistributing other members' photos without
their permission.
< / p >
< p >
Along similar lines, < strong > DO NOT screenshot, take a photograph of, or record webcam feeds in the chat room.< / strong >
People can feel extra vulnerable when they are showing themselves on live webcam in the chat room, and it feels very
violating to be recorded without your knowledge.

Your profile page is about < em > you< / em > and all photos you upload to it must be

< / p >
< p >
If your pictures also include other people, please be sure that you have the
consent of all pictured individuals to upload it to your profile page.
< / p >
< p >
You do not have to include your face in all your pictures! Many nudists are not
comfortable showing their face in their nudes and will post "torso shots" or
censor their face -- that's OK! You only need one face picture to use as your
default profile pic - it can be a clothed, G-rated selfie!

It can be acceptable to post a photo that includes yourself < em > and< / em > another
person, but please see the following rules:
< / p >
< ul >
< li > Be sure you have the permission of all people in your photo before you upload it.< / li >
< li >
You and the other people must be in < strong > the same< / strong > photo together:
"split frame" photos where you just combine two wholly separate pictures together
into one are not allowed! This is because it's not clear whether you even < em > know< / em >
the other person pictured or if you had their permission to post it; and to keep on top
of avoiding any "exposure blogs" where someone might post pictures of randoms so long as
they also composite their own pic next to it.

< p >
This is a website for nudists and so "normal nudes" are expected and are the default.
Not all nudists want to see sexually explicit material. You MAY upload sexually
explicit content but you are expected to mark such photos as "Explicit" so that
nudists who don't want to see them can filter them out (which is the default setting).
< / p >
< p >
You do not need to tag your photo as "Explicit" for simply containing non-sexual nudity.
Examples of "normal nudes" and non-sexual nudity include, but are not limited to:
< / p >
< ul >
< li > Full body nude photos where the focus of the picture is NOT on the genitalia.< / li >
< li > A flaccid (non-erect) penis, provided it is NOT the focus of the picture.< / li >
< li >
Photos taken at nude beaches, nude campgrounds, or other nudist events in
a non-sexual context.
< / li >
< li >
Photos of nude gardening or other activities done in the buff.
< / li >
< li >
Butt pics are OK: full body nudes taken from behind that show your butt are
considered "normal nudes" unless your butt is the sole focus of the picture.
< / li >
< / ul >
< p >
Basically, as long as the photo doesn't fall under the "Explicit Photos & Sexual Content"
examples listed below, you do not need to tag your picture as "Explicit."

< / p >

A close-up view of genitalia or where the genitals are the central focus of the picture.

2022-08-16 05:33:17 +00:00

"Spread eagle" pictures that clearly and especially show intimate body parts such

< / li >
< li >
2024-10-02 03:44:11 +00:00
A depiction of any sexual activity, including but not limited to: masturbation, oral sex,
2022-08-16 05:33:17 +00:00
anal or vaginal penetration, humping, or any content intended to sexually arouse the
viewer. If it can be reasonably considered to be "porn" it is an explicit photo.
< / li >
< li >
Usage of a sex toy or sexual device, including but not limited to: dildos, fleshlights
or fleshjacks, "pocket pussies," or things of that nature. < strong > Exceptions:< / strong >
certain mild lifestyle devices such as cock rings or chastity cages may be OK (and not

< / li >
< / ul >
2024-10-02 03:44:11 +00:00

As a general rule of thumb: if a picture could be reasonably considered to be "porn" then you should
