List of Image Hosting/Sharing Sites & Guidelines
Please note that this list is subject to change and the guidelines may mor may not be accurate.
As Flickr no longer allows moderate or restricted works to be posted without a Pro account, I made the best attempt I could to provide everyone with suitable resources for SL Photography. I really hope that this helps!
Possible Substitutes for Flickr:
Twitter [twitter.com]
"Account must be marked as Sensitive.
Adult content is any consensually produced and distributed media that is pornographic or intended to cause sexual arousal. Some examples include, but are not limited to, depictions of:
full or partial nudity, including close-ups of genitals, buttocks, or breasts (excluding content related to breastfeeding);
simulated sexual acts; and
sexual intercourse or other sexual acts – this also applies to cartoons, hentai, or anime involving humans or depictions of animals with human-like features.
Note: exceptions may be made for artistic, medical, health, or educational content.
We also restrict specific sensitive media, such as adult content, for viewers who are under 18 or viewers who do not include a birth date on their profile.
Age Restricted Content: We restrict viewers who are under 18, or who do not include a birth date on their profile, from viewing adult content."
Hentai Foundry [hentai-foundry.com]
NSFW site to host and share Adult Artwork.
Patreon [patreon.com]
Account must be set to 18+ to post NSFW Content.
Fetlife [fetlife.com]
Adult Community similar to Facebook.
Wix [wix.com]
Adult content allowed and it is up to creators/owners of the site to moderate it. There is a storage limit and once you reach it you will be charged monthly for more.
Independant Hosting Companies
There are a variety website hosting companies but they do cost money and a lot of times you need to buy a domain to go with it. But MOST IMPORTANTLY you must check if they allow you to host NSFW content per their TOS.
Pixelvr [pixelvr.me]
"2) This site does not allow RL adult images of any kind. Also we do allow artistic virtual nudes but not porn nudes which will be deleted on sight, if you post artistic nudes please make sure that you mark your post as "People you follow" or "People that follow you" this helps better keep the site via search engines kid friendly.
7a) No Virtual life no porn / rape other photos or RL adult images, see rule 1) & 2) above. Example no body fluids or full sex scenes in images or videos uploaded.
7b) Artistic virtual nudes photos are ok, if you have questions about if an image is ok or not contact ****** **** and happy to clarify."
Deviantart [deviantart.com]
ONLY allows artistic nudity and erotic content. Pornography and Sexual acts are STRICTLY forbidden. NO BONERS, SPREAD VAGENE, AND PENETRATION WHATSOEVER!
Facebook [facebook.com]
NO NSFW. They don't even like nipples. Pics and links to pictures can be posted WITH censorship.
Wiply [wiply.com]
"Please be aware that there may be certain adult or mature content available on the Services. A warning will be shown to the User prior to adult content being displayed. Where there is mature or adult content, individuals who are less than 18 years of age or are not permitted to access such content under the laws of any applicable jurisdiction may not access such content. If we learn that anyone under the age of 18 seeks to conduct a transaction through the Services, we will require verified parental consent, in accordance with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 ("COPPA"). Certain areas of the Services may not be available to children under 18 under any circumstances."
It is unclear what they allow on here. Use Caution!
Onlyfans [onlyfans.com]
I do believe they allow artwork but I am unsure if SL Content is allowed. I have heard mixed things from people and the TOS is very unclear. Obviously adult NSFW content is allowed but may only be RL content.
Reddit [redditinc.com]
Only restriction is to not show any sexual content involving MINORS.
Shutterfly [onlyfans.com]
"Shutterfly does not generally restrict the storage of nude/adult photos within your account, but each image must meet the following basic requirements:
Copyright. It does not violate our copyright policy (that is, that you are the legal owner of the image).
Illegal images or images in violation of our Terms and Conditions. You may not store images in which the content of the image is illegal, or which violates Section 1 ("Your Use of Our Sites and Apps") of our sitewide Terms & Conditions."
500px [500px.com]
"We do not allow visual material focussing on sexual organs or displaying sexual activity on 500px. This may include details or close-ups of vaginas, penises or anuses."
Photobucket [photobucket.com]
Under "Censorship policy" the page reads "Photobucket does not allow sexually explicit or objectionable content", but it looks like that's not entirely true. Their TOS reads "The free account does not allow any image hosting or storing/sharing of legal adult not safe for work ("nsfw") images. If you are interested in image hosting or storing/sharing legal adult nsfw images, you will need to subscribe to our Expert Level Paid Accounts."
Blogger (Owned by Google) [google sites or blogger.com]
No Porn, Google says that it will “still allow nudity if the content offers a substantial public benefit, for example in artistic, educational, documentary, or scientific contexts.” Whether or not your content fits this criteria, however, is completely up to the discretion of those at Google.
Other sites that MAY allow adult content (unconfirmed):
Newgrounds, Pillowfort.io, Dreamwidth, Mastodon
