Failure to abide by the rules may result in your pictures or messages being deleted, or your user account as a whole being deleted or banned from the service. Egregious violations, e.g. posting blatantly illegal content will result in a swift ban (and be reported to the relevant law enforcement agency, if applicable). For minor community guideline offenses, you may be contacted by a site administrator to help address the issue.

The website administrator reserves the right to modify these terms in the future. This document was last updated on November 24, 2023.

Please review the rest of this page for more in-depth explanations about this site's rules and code of conduct.

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.

Direct Messages

The global website rules also apply to the contents of your Direct Messages. See also the Privacy Policy on DMs. We respect your privacy and don't snoop on your DMs without just cause, but we retain the ability to do so in case of a report about your account or the conversations you have been having.

Some specific reminders about the Terms of Service as it pertains to the contents of your Direct Messages, whether on the main website or the chat room:

Do not fall under the illusion that your Direct Messages (whether on the website or chat room) are secure and encrypted. See the Privacy Policy on DMs for more information.

Child Exploitation

Under our Acceptable Photo Policy we state that there are to be NO pictures of children (even clothed) allowed on this website AT ALL. This section additionally covers non-photo content on the website, including conversations taking place in Direct Messages (whether on the main website or chat room), Forum posts or anywhere else that messages can be written.

It is prohibited 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 ANY 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 report them to the admins or directly contact the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children.

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:

As a good general rule of thumb: if you have children, don't talk about them here.

Automated Direct Message Filters

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 child exploitation or hate speech (racial slurs and dog whistles known to be associated with hate groups).

Reposting Members' Photos Elsewhere

NEW: November 24 2023

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 risks inherent with sharing a picture online 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.

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.

Along similar lines, DO NOT screenshot, take a photograph of, or record webcam feeds in the chat room. 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.

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

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:

As a general rule of thumb: if a picture could be reasonably considered to be "porn" then you should mark it as Explicit when uploading it to your gallery.

Important: extreme and commonly offensive content (such as fisting, gaping or prolapsed ass holes, etc.) are NOT permitted on {{PrettyTitle}}. Please review the following section for a list of Prohibited Content.

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.
