Our priority is to safeguard viewers, creators, and particularly minors. To ensure a safe environment, we have established guidelines concerning child safety, sex & nudity, and self-harm. Discover what content is permissible on Lounges.
Lounges strictly prohibits explicit content intended for sexual gratification. Posting pornography or videos containing fetish content may lead to content removal or channel termination. Violent, graphic, or humiliating fetishes are generally not allowed on the platform.
If you come across content that violates this policy, please report it immediately. Instructions on reporting violations of the Community Guidelines are available here. If you encounter multiple problematic videos or comments, you can report the entire Lounge.
Do not upload explicit content on Lounges that includes:
- Depictions of clothed or unclothed genitals, breasts, or buttocks meant for sexual gratification.
- Pornography, sexual acts, or fetishes intended for sexual gratification.
- Masturbation, fondling, or groping of genitals, breasts, or buttocks.
- Use of sex toys to sexually gratify viewers.
- Nudity or partial nudity intended for sexual gratification.
- Bestiality or promotion of it.
- Incest or promotion of it.
- Non-consensual sex acts or unwanted sexualisation.
- Content encouraging celebrity wardrobe accidents or nude photo leaks.
- Violent, graphic, or humiliating fetish content with the purpose of sexual gratification.
- Aggregating content meant for sexual gratification.
- Any sexual content involving minors (for more information, refer to the Child Safety on Lounges page).
Note that this list is not exhaustive.
Age-Restricted Content
Content containing nudity or other sexual content, which doesn't fall into the categories mentioned above, may be age-restricted. Lounges considers various factors when deciding whether to age-restrict or remove content:
- Whether clothed or unclothed breasts, buttocks, or genitals are the focal point of the video.
- Whether the subject is depicted in a pose intended to sexually arouse the viewer.
- Whether the language used in the video is graphic or lewd.
- Whether the subject's actions in the video invite sexual activity, such as kissing, provocative dancing, or fondling.
- Whether the clothing would be generally unacceptable in public contexts, such as lingerie.
- Whether sexual imagery or audio has been blurred, masked, or obscured.
- Whether sexual imagery or audio is fleeting or prolonged in the content.
- Whether the content encourages others to participate in challenges involving sexual acts.
Again, this list is not exhaustive.
Educational Content: Nudity may be allowed for educational, documentary, scientific, or artistic purposes, if it isn't gratuitous. Context is crucial, and providing proper context in the content, title, and description will help determine the primary purpose of the video.
For educational, documentary, scientific, or artistic content with adult material or graphic violence, Lounges may consider official third-party ratings to decide whether the content remains on the platform. Age-restricted content isn't viewable to users under 18 or those not signed in.
Examples of Content Not Allowed on Lounges:
- Clips extracted from non-pornographic content to isolate sexual content, whether real-world or artistic.
- Groping, "pantsing," kissing, public masturbation, "upskirting," voyeurism, predatory exhibitionism, or any sexualised depiction without consent.
- Content depicting sexual acts, behaviours, or sex toys meant for sexual gratification.
- Once again, these are just examples, and if you believe content might violate this policy, avoid posting it.
Consequences of Violating This Policy
If your content violates this policy, Lounges will remove it and notify you via email. If a link you post is deemed unsafe, it may also be removed.
A first-time violation of the Community Guidelines may result in a warning with no penalty to your account. However, subsequent violations may lead to a strike against your Lounges account. Accumulating three strikes within 90 days will result in account termination. You can find more information about Lounges’ strikes system here.
Repetitive violations of the Community Guidelines or Terms of Service may lead to the termination of your account. A single case of severe abuse or channel dedication to policy violations could also result in account termination. For more details on account terminations, refer to the provided resources.
