NOTE: UPDATED 09/2023

Please do not upload to our servers
(as an attachment or user icon/profile image) any photographic images that
  1. contain genital closeups or explicit sex; or
  2. do not belong to you (art/photos that you did not create yourself).

To clarify: NO, you cannot upload/attach photos of your erect penis or wet pudenda, and you cannot upload/attach photos that you found on the Internet.
Repeatedly uploading images that violate the rules above WILL result in the loss of the ability to upload images via the Attachment feature.
This ability will NOT be restored.

You can post links to images found elsewhere on the Internet. HOWEVER, we reserve the right to warn or ban you if we feel you are
1) spamming/advertising for another site/product/etc. or
2) you repeatedly post linked images which stretch the screen.
We also will remove links to images upon request from copyright holder. If, after we do so, you replace the image, we may ban your account.


** PLEASE READ ALL OF THE BELOW **


-----

The Literotica forum offers three different ways that you as a user can display your own images. Because of the massive size and high activity of the Literotica forum, none of these methods are pre-moderated. However, we will remove any images which are brought to our attention that violate our rules or any U.S. laws. The three methods of posting an image on the Lit forum are as follows:

1) Attachments. These are user-owned (that is, created by you and to which you own the copyright) images which are uploaded to our server by users.

2) Remote linking. These are images which are hosted on your server and displayed in your posts.

3) Avatars/Profile Pics. These are your images which you can upload to display on your profile page and next to each post you make.


The Literotica Forum Photo Guidelines have been created to conform to United States law in regards to content and copyright laws.

--------
Here are the Forum Photo Guidelines for all attachments, avatars, and any image uploaded to our servers (Numbers 1 and 3 above):

Legally, we can allow soft nudity, but photographs (does not apply to non-photographic images) posted on this site may not contain "sexually explicit conduct", which the government defines as:

- Actual or simulated:
(A) sexual intercourse, including genital-genital, oral-genital, anal-genital, or oral-anal, whether between persons of the same or opposite sex;
(B) bestiality;
(C) masturbation;
(D) sadistic or masochistic abuse; or
(E) lascivious exhibition of the genitals or pubic area of any person. We're talking about the close-ups, or any pictures where the genitals or pubic area is the center of attention, or part of any simulated masturbation. Artistic full nudes are fine, so long as they aren't spread shots and the person can't be masturbating or simulating masturbation

--------
ALL images (uploads and links, Numbers 1, 2, and 3 above) must follow these rules:

- All persons in all adult-themed photographs must be over 18 years of age.

- Image must not contain bestiality or extreme sexual violence.

-------

Please note that these rules apply only to photographic images.

Non-photographic images (drawings, paintings, 3D renderings, etc.) may not contain bestiality, underage sexual content, or extreme sexual violence.

If you see any images which violate these guidelines, please report the post and we will review your report. Anyone caught repeatedly violating these guidelines may have their image posting privileges revoked.

Literotica may remove any image for any reason without notice, and may periodically purge old images from the forums.

If you have any questions, feel free to contact a moderator.

Thank you for your time, and enjoy the site. :rose:

I'd happily be your test subject.

;)

It's part A that I'm concerning myself with . . . since it's spelled out so clearly, and we don't see any bestiality here anyway.

Umm.... you could always post a few photos of "non-lascivious exhibition of the genitals"... that would be immensely helpful *nods*

How soon can we start our testing sessions? :cathappy:

I've put one in the cock worship thread. ;)

We can start immediately.
 
I would like to know, out of interest, why some threads have full penetrative sex shots and are left up there. (I am NOT complaining) while others are deleted as innapropriate for far less lavicious content? I realise there has to be a line drawn in the sand, and you guys do a good job as a wehole, but the rules don't seem to be applied evenly across all the userbase. Is there a reason some are allowed and others arent?
 
Quite simply, it because I have to either A), see the pictures myself, and there is far too many pictures for me to spend all my time looking at every thread (so my checks are relatively random), and B), rely on people like you to report the illicit pictures (you can imagine how well that works).

The way this is going to work is like this: when I remove a picture from your thread for breaking the rules, that's your warning to not to it again. If you continue to do so (and I will check back . . . I keep a list), then you run the risk of being banned from the site.

Think of it like speeding. The majority of speeders don't get caught, but the ones that do get a hefty fine.

There just aren't enough Lit Cops on the board to keep up.
 
I dont know if you can do anything but check out cucky2007 post. He is posting pics of his ex without her permission. He said this in one of his earlier threads. Trying to get her boss to see them.
 
Occasionally.
I noticed that you removed the photos from both of your AmPics threads.
Modesty I assume?

Paendragon, just keep up the good work, bro. You do a fine job. :)
 
- Legally, we can allow soft nudity, but under current United States law, photographs (does not apply to non-photographic images) posted on this site may not contain "sexually explicit conduct", which the government defines as:

- Actual or simulated:
(A) sexual intercourse, including genital-genital, oral-genital, anal-genital, or oral-anal, whether between persons of the same or opposite sex;
(B) bestiality;
(C) masturbation;
(D) sadistic or masochistic abuse; or
(E) lascivious exhibition of the genitals or pubic area of any person.

Hmmm I have seen entire threads in the general board that break these rules. Many avatars do as well?? Hmmm but I aint complaining :)

Uh, which law is that?
 
The laws refer to the 2257 laws, that have been challenged, struck down, upheld, struck down again (which is recently being appealed) . . . all over the last few years. I'm sure we can all understand the siteowners feelings on this. Until it's all settled, they're going to play it safe.

If I understand correctly, 2257 states that if you do have a pic on here that has A, C, D, or E, you need to have a complete record of the legality of all subjects involved in the picture. And of course that isn't feasible here. Am I correct on that?
