Updates & Revisions

Since the TOS was originally written, the following are updates and amendments:

General Code of Conduct

This section applies generally across every corner of this website, including but not limited to: the text you write on your profile page, the messages you send to other members, the comments you leave on their photos, and the messages you post in the forums.

Real People Only!

This website is for real nudists and exhibitionists who are not afraid to show their face and verify themselves as being a real person.

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.

The following are the bare minimum requirements for members of this website:

Your verification photo will only be seen by site administrators and will not appear on your profile page.

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!

Hateful Content & Bullying

This website will NOT tolerate hateful content against any minority group, including but not limited to: racism, homophobia, transphobia, sexism, xenophobia, antisemitism, body shaming, sex shaming, or generally being mean to people (or writing mean things about people) on matters of their age, sex, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, religion, color of their skin, racial or ethnic background, shape of their body, or other such characteristics.

Members caught engaging in such behaviors will be removed from the community.

Acceptable Photo Policy

All photos uploaded to your profile page must contain YOU in them

Your profile page is about you and all photos you upload to it must be pictures of you.

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.

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!

Policy on other people appearing in your photos

NEW: March 8 2023

It can be acceptable to post a photo that includes yourself and another person, but please see the following rules:

Normal Nudes & Non-Explicit Content

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).

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:

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."

Explicit Photos & Sexual Content

Explicit photos and sexual content ("exhibitionist photos") are permitted on this website but you agree to tag such photos as "Explicit" in their settings when you upload them.

A photo is considered "explicit" if it depicts any of the following features:

Prohibited Content

Even in the context of "Explicit Photos," the following sorts of content is strictly prohibited:

NO pictures of children, period!

This is an adult website and all people depicted on it MUST be of legal age (18 years or older). Do not upload any picture that includes a minor -- clothed or otherwise.
