TrustyFans Content Guidelines: What's Allowed and What's Not

We want creators to feel confident using TrustyFans to get discovered and encourage new fans to follow their paid and social sites.

TrustyFans is a creator search and discovery platform. It helps new fans find creators, understand their vibe, and decide who they want to support and subscribe to. It is not a platform designed to host or display explicit adult content.

These guidelines explain what’s okay to upload, what isn’t, and how content is reviewed, so you can build a strong, approved profile without surprises.

These are content guidelines, not exhaustive rules, and not every scenario can be listed. We review content holistically, using context and how an average viewer would interpret the image or text.

Overall Summary

TrustyFans allows confident, flirty, and suggestive presentation that focuses on appearance, style, and personality. It does not allow nudity or explicit sexual content.

A simple guideline:

If the content shows or implies nudity or sexual activity that would normally require a paywall, it does not belong on your TrustyFans profile.

Why These Guidelines Exist

We know content guidelines can feel limiting. They’re not here to make things harder for creators.

TrustyFans is built around discovery. That only works if profiles stay visible, searchable, and trusted by browsers, search engines, and the platforms that help deliver traffic to creators.

In the United States, many states have passed or are passing laws that require strict age-verification when a site is considered to host or display sexually explicit material. Once a platform crosses that line, it can be legally required to implement heavy restrictions such as government-mandated age checks, blocked access in certain states, or reduced visibility across the web.

Those changes usually hurt creators first by limiting reach, making profiles harder to find, and adding friction for new fans.

By keeping clear boundaries around what appears on TrustyFans profiles, we can:

• Keep creator profiles visible and searchable
• Make it easier for fans to discover new creators
  
• Avoid triggering restrictive age-verification requirements
  
• Prevent state-by-state access blocks
  
• Focus on discovery, not content hosting
  

Because TrustyFans is a discovery platform, content is evaluated based on how an average reasonable viewer would interpret the image or text in context. This includes overall presentation, framing, setting, and what the content appears to suggest, not just isolated details.

If an image clearly communicates nudity to a typical viewer, it may be treated as implied nudity even if private areas are partially obscured.

These guidelines help ensure TrustyFans can continue operating as a discovery platform, rather than being forced into the same restrictions as explicit content sites.

Private Areas and Coverage

Quick summary

Private areas must be covered by real, opaque (non-transparent) clothing. This helps keep profiles accessible and prevents images from being interpreted as nudity or previews of explicit content.

Private areas include

• Genitals
  
• Nipples when breasts are present
  
• Anus or fully exposed buttocks
  

What’s allowed

• Underwear, swimwear, or lingerie that fully covers private areas
  
• Clothing made of real, opaque fabric, even if tight or form-fitting
  
• Clothing that clearly blocks visibility of private areas underneath
  
• Robes or towels fully worn and secured like clothing, not loosely draped
• Bedding or fabric only when used neutrally as a setting, not as a substitute for clothing, where:
  • Private areas are fully covered
  • The pose and setting do not imply sexual activity

What’s not allowed

• Exposed genitals, nipples, anus, or uncovered breasts
  
• Fully bare buttocks, including rear nudity where no clothing is present
  
• Using hands, hair, limbs, or body positioning as the primary way to conceal nudity in a way that communicates the person is otherwise nude
  
• Towels, sheets, blankets, furniture, or props used to hide nudity rather than function as clothing
  
• Stickers, emojis, tape, paint, or censor effects instead of clothing
  
• Sheer, mesh, lace, fishnet, or see-through fabric over private areas
  
• Blurred or pixelated images where nudity would otherwise be visible

Showing Skin

Quick summary

Showing skin is fine as long as private areas stay covered and the image is not framed to sexualize anatomy. If the primary focus of the image appears to be sexual arousal rather than appearance or personality, it may be removed. Discovery works best when images show style and personality, not explicit focus on body parts.

What’s allowed

• Shirtless images when no breasts are present
• Cleavage or under-bust when nipples are covered
• Swimwear or lingerie with coverage similar to public beachwear
• Real fabric that fully covers private areas
• Natural anatomy visible through normal, non-see-through clothing when not sexually framed

What’s not allowed

• Fully bare buttocks, including rear nudity where no clothing is present
  
• Shirtless images when breasts are present
  
• Private areas visible due to sheer, mesh, lace, or see-through fabric
  
• Coverage meant to simulate nudity
• Poses or crops designed to sexualize exposure
• Framing, lighting, zoom, or angles designed to center attention on nipples, breasts, or buttocks in a sexual way
  

Suggestive vs. Explicit Content

Quick summary

Confidence and teasing are allowed. Sexual acts, arousal, or explicit behavior are not.

What’s allowed

• Flirty expressions and confident posing
• Fashion, fitness, modeling, or lifestyle photos
• Adult products displayed as objects only (not used or simulated)

What’s not allowed

• Sexual acts or simulated sexual acts
• Poses designed to imitate sex
• Using or simulating use of adult products
• Adult products positioned against the body in a sexual way
• Images focused on penetration, stimulation, or arousal
• Visible fluids
• Images highlighting erections or sexualized bulges

Fetish, Role-Play, and Themed Looks

Quick summary

Wearing a look or aesthetic is allowed. Depicting or acting out a sexual role, scenario, or power dynamic is not. We look at intent, context, and visual cues to determine whether an image presents fashion or depicts a sexual scenario to the average viewer.

What’s allowed

• Leather, latex, harnesses, cosplay, or alternative fashion
• Collars, cuffs, chokers, or similar accessories worn as style
• Costumes or themed looks presented as fashion or character styling
• Images focused on appearance, not behavior
• Holding an adult product in a non-sexualized manner

What’s not allowed

• Acting out BDSM, domination, submission, or restraint
• Sexual role-play or power dynamics
• Props used in the act that suggest control, punishment, or ownership
• Age-based sexual themes or childlike framing
• Race-based sexual roles or stereotypes

Content With Other People

Quick summary

Although your TrustyFans profile should focus on you, collaboration content is allowed only when everyone shown is approved by TrustyFans.

What’s allowed

• Images where the profile owner appears and follows these guidelines
• Everyone shown has an approved and active TrustyFans creator profile
• All images remain non-sexual and follow all other guidelines
• All individuals shown must be verified adults and appear with clear consent

What’s not allowed

• Anyone without a verified TrustyFans profile
• Images where the profile owner does not appear
• Images that depict or clearly imply sexual activity between multiple people

Text Content

Quick summary

Text should introduce who you are and guide fans, not describe explicit sexual content.

What’s allowed

• Confident or lightly suggestive language
• Personality-driven bios
  
• General descriptions of themes or style
  
• Calls to action pointing to approved links
• Creator watermarks in images, as long as they do not bypass the Paid Sites or Social Sites sections
  

What’s not allowed

• Graphic sexual descriptions
• Descriptions of sexual acts or positions
• Step-by-step sexual content
• Writing URLs, platform names, usernames, handles, or other link-style text directly into bios, descriptions, headlines, or other text fields unless that platform is already added in your Paid Sites or Social Sites section of your profile
• Text or visual elements (including QR codes) embedded into images, graphics, or photo overlays that direct viewers to off-platform content or bypass the Paid Sites or Social Sites sections of your profile

All external links must be added using the Paid Sites or Social Sites sections of your profile.

What Happens If Content Is Removed

Quick summary

Our goal is to help creators stay visible and approved, not to penalize creators. It’s part of keeping the platform safe and discoverable.

What happens

• The content is removed
• You’re notified
• You can upload an appropriate replacement

Repeated violations may lead to additional review.

Final Notes

These guidelines may evolve as laws, industry requirements, and platform needs change. These laws are evolving quickly, and our guidelines are designed to keep creators visible without triggering requirements that would reduce reach or access. It is your responsibility to ensure that any content you upload follows the current guidelines.

If you are unsure whether something is allowed, choose a more conservative option.

TrustyFans reserves the right to remove content that technically complies with these guidelines if it poses legal, platform, or operational risk.
