This is the home for all those topics that really get you going.

Do you have a thing for women in short skirts? Do you love cross dressing? Fixate on cock, or tits? Maybe you like a gorgeous pair of feet? Do you love to play erotically with balloons? Then this is the place for you!

Fetish Central is your place for discussing whatever turns you on.

NOT PERMITTED here or anywhere on Literotica.com:
  • Bestiality
  • Underage (All fetishes must be for 18+ only)
  • Real life accounts of incest, nonconsent, or any illegal acts. All content on this forum must abide by Literotica's Site Content Guidelines.
Please see the Forum Rules for complete posting guidelines.

Please keep this a SAFE place for conversation. Try not to ridicule someone just because you think their fetish is weird. Yours might seem equally weird to someone else!

If you can't post without being sarcastic and rude, then please save your comments for the General Board!


Have fun!

Complete forum guidelines

Pic posting guidelines

Please pay special attention to this section of the photo guidelines:

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

- Image must not contain URL or other advertisement.


If you have any questions, feel free to PM me. :)

Thanks so much!

There is a new policy for Fetish and Sexuality Central regarding picture threads. This policy is based on the one created by Etoile, the GLBT mod, and Laurel jointly, and will now be implemented here in Fet. Central.

As of today, March 18, 2014, any posts made to picture threads that violate the picture posting rules will cause that post to be edited or removed entirely. If it continues, the entire thread may be removed without further warning.

Again, this policy comes with approval from Laurel.

The way to keep the picture threads alive is to adhere to the picture posting rules. It's as easy as that.

The admin has appended the forum guidelines.

NOTE: Admin has appended these. 6/29/2015

The gist is this: 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.

To clarify: no, you cannot upload photos of your erect penis or wet pudenda, and you cannot upload photos that you found on the Internet.

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.


-----

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 URL or other advertisement.

- 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:

One more update on picture posting rules that was recently added:


  • Per the above, we do not allow the posting of hardcore, dick pics, vagina closeups, sex toys being used, etc.
  • All persons in all adult-themed photographs must be at least 18 years of age.
  • The photographer of any posted photograph must be at least 18 years old.
  • All persons in photographs must have consented to being photographed and having the images posted publicly. We do not allow voyeur content or other photos where the persons in the photographs did not allow their image to be used.
  • Image must not contain URLs or other advertisements.
  • You must have a legal right from the copyright owner to post any images - i.e. photographs/drawings that you yourself created and/or have a legal license or other legal permission to post. You retain all legal rights to your images when posting them on Literotica. You are only granting us a non-exclusive license to display them for as long as you leave them up on your account.
Anyone caught repeatedly violating these guidelines may have their image posting privileges revoked or have their account banned without notice. You can also be held legally responsible for posting copyright protected content by the copyright holder, so please do not post anything that you do not own.
If you see any images which violate these guidelines, please report the post using the “Report” button at the bottom of each post.


The updated list of rules: https://literotica.com/faq/forum/forum-thread-picture-rules



I've seen a lot of 'upskirt' pictures that appear to have been taken on street, in stores or other public places without the subject's knowledge. In addition to being improper, these may violate local laws where they were taken. At least one entire thread was recently deleted.
 
The pictures, all the pictures and nothing but the pictures.

When all you do is post pictures grabbed off the web to the tune of thousands without any other participation, you might find that you'll be cautioned on the practice.

We almost all post pictures as part of various threads. We don't always follow the rules to the letter ... kind of like rolling a stop sign here and there. But we don't all do it all the time while doing little else.
 
I don't know when this wording was added since there is no ChangeLog, but it seems recent and pretty straightforward:



To that end, we DO NOT publish works of any type featuring the following content:
Visual representations (photographs or video) of any real person engaged in “actual sexually explicit conduct” as defined by 18 U.S.C. 2257.
The above guidelines apply to all content published on Literotica, including but not limited to – stories, poems, audio, artworks, comments, feedback, and forum posts.

That doesn't call out attached images, but includes all images, attached or linked.
