Section 1: UK Online Safety Act Overview
We would like to inform you that, due to recent changes introduced by the UK Online Safety Act, we are required to take actions to ensure the website remains compliant with these new legal obligations.
The Online Safety Act mandates that platforms hosting adult content (including user-generated content) must take steps to prevent underage from accessing pornographic or sexually explicit material, including content depicting nudity, sexual acts, or fantasies intended to cause arousal. Failure to comply could lead to access restrictions that affect all users.
To avoid restricting the entire website behind a mandatory age-verification gateway and keep your public visibility high, we are implementing a solution that keeps the website open while enforcing age verification only where required. This approach preserves access for the broader audience while protecting the viability of the platform, your visibility, and your customer base.
However, this solution requires your cooperation. Specifically, it involves updating your publicly visible content to ensure it is SFW (Safe For Work).
We are processing a high volume of moderation reviews. We strongly encourage you to begin your updates as soon as possible to avoid service disruption.
We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience caused. Please understand that these changes are required by law and therefore, their enforcement beyond our control, and these changes are essential to ensure continued platform availability and legal compliance.
Section 2: Actions
- What do I need to do?
To keep your profile compliant and visible to as many customers as possible, please ensure the following:
1. Replace all 3 NSFW profile pictures with SFW alternatives.
2. Remove any NSFW images from your Free Gallery and re-upload them to your Private Gallery.
3. Edit the text description of your Free Gallery to be SFW
If you are a Group Manager:
1. Replace all NSFW Group profile pictures with SFW alternatives.
2. Replace any NSFW Group Description text with SFW alternative text (found on the details tab here)
3. Inform your Group Members of the Act and advise them to change their NSFW public content as advised in the email sent to them and as per this article.
- When do I need to do it?
New profile pictures and Free Gallery pictures uploaded will need to comply.
Existing profile pictures and Free Gallery pictures will need to be compliant by 01 July 2025.
We strongly encourage you to begin your updates as soon as possible to avoid service disruption.
Starting from the 22nd of May 2025, we will only accept SFW content for Profile Pictures and Public Galleries, any content which is deemed NSFW will be either rejected.
- What happens with the remaining content?
For the remaining content (movies, erotica, blogs), we are investigating and researching the best practices to hide/blur/show alternative SFW content for the view of NON-Age Verified Customers, while trying our best to maintain the Profile integrity and usability. We will announce the development changes in this article and via mailshots.
Section 3: Safe-for-Work (SFW) vs Not-Safe-for-Work (NSFW) Guidelines
SAFE-FOR-WORK (SFW) Content definitions (and not limited to)
This is content more likely to be accepted for public areas of the platform (as well as other mainstream SFW and regulated social media platforms)
Visual Content:
- Individuals fully clothed or in modest attire (e.g. casual wear, workwear)
- Swimwear, sportswear, or lingerie worn in a non-sexualised context
- Suggestive poses without nudity or simulated sex
- Profile photos showing headshots, clothed portraits
- Selfies or portraits, everyday/lifestyle photos
- Tasteful artistic or editorial-style photos with no genitals, nipples, or overt sexual emphasis
- Thumbnails or banners that do not reveal intimate parts or simulate sexual acts
Text Content (Applies only to Free Gallery Photo Description and Group Description):
- Flirty, playful or innuendo-based language (e.g. "Looking for fun?", "Let’s chat...")
- Descriptions of services or interests that avoid graphic sexual language
- Use of emojis or light suggestive phrases that don’t explicitly describe sexual acts
NOT-SAFE-FOR-WORK (NSFW) Content definitions (and not limited to)
Must only appear to age-verified. Not permitted in public sections.
Visual Content:
- Full or partial genital nudity: full-frontal nudity, close-up shots of genitalia, visible nipples, exposed buttocks, sexual poses
- Depictions of real or simulated sex acts, including oral sex, penetration, masturbation, intercourse
- Fetish material involving bondage gear, sex toys, or domination scenarios
- Individuals engaging in provocative sexual acts, even if clothed e.g. A fully dressed person
- mimicking thrusting or moaning suggestively, or using their body/clothing to simulate a sex act.
- Any visual content with explicit sexual gestures, moaning, or arousal-focused framing
- Pornographic cartoon content or AI-generated explicit imagery
- Use of emojis or light suggestive phrases that don’t explicitly describe sexual acts (e.g. eggplant, peach, sweat droplets, tongue, fingers, +18 sign, fire, banana, hot pepper)
Text Content (Applies only to Free Gallery Photo Description and Group Description):
- Graphic descriptions of sexual acts (e.g. "I love deep...", "Watch me [act]")
- Reference to body fluids, ejaculation, or sexually violent scenarios
- Solicitation phrased in sexual terms (e.g. "come f*** me now")
- Any language clearly intended to cause sexual arousal or simulate sexual conduct
General Rule:
If a reasonable person would view the image/text and assume it was created primarily to cause sexual arousal, it is NSFW and must be restricted to age-verified members only.
Section 4: New Updates:
This section will be updated as we have more into to share with you.
21/05/2025 : Mailshot + Article to inform Offering Members and Group Managers about the UK Online act and actions needed to remain compliant.

01/07/2025: The moderation team will start moderating all profiles to ensure that the Profile Pictures and Public Galleries are compliant and SFW. The checks will be a full queue of all active Offering Members Profiles and Groups, in a random sorting. If your profile is not compliant, we may need to remove NSFW pictures to minimise any disruption to your business. If further changes are required, we will inform you as soon as possible.
21/05/2025: In parallel with the efforts of the Offering Members and Group Managers, the development team will start blurring/hiding/adding alternative SFW text/media for the other NSFW areas, for NON-Age Verified Seeking Members.
Further updates and notifications will be added below:
Update 02/06/2025: Please note that if you are trying to upload faceless content, and the images are just focused on your intimate body parts, which are primarily used to cause sexual arousal, these will be rejected.
