Hey I've been getting a lot of comments on my other posts voicing support. And I really appreciate it a lot.

But I also need to be clear we absolutely do not want to do anything that could be construed as brigading.

So I'm going to respectfully ask that we just not make it into a thing over here.

Whatever ends up happening on the other sub is up to their community to discuss and decide.

Lets not have it spill into here and harsh the good vibes ok?

❤️🙏

Greetings, horny and/or sensual himbos & himbo lovers! 🍑

I want to bring some clarity to how we should be handling NSFW content posted to this subreddit. As you may have gathered, we try to keep this a sex-positive environment, but we still need to be mindful of our responsibility to tag NSFW content as such so that people have the opportunity to consent to viewing that content if/when they please.

First off, please don't post outright pornographic content. This has not been a problem so far, I just want to state that boundary as clearly as possible. You are welcome to invite other users to DM you for more explicit photos/writing/etc than what we will allow here, but this subreddit is not designated as NSFW & I'd like it to stay that way. Why? Because the alternative is that every single post, by default, gets tagged NSFW & that doesn't feel fair to users who are primarily posting SFW selfies, food, pets, etc. If the content we post remains within the realm of suggestive or artful, I don't think we'll have an issue justifying this being a largely SFW subreddit that sometimes posts NSFW content (which is allowed under Reddit rules).

Second, I'd like to explain where the lines are drawn for "appropriate" nudity & other content.

🚫 DO NOT POST EVER - EVEN WITH NSFW TAG:

• Genitals
• Spread ass / asshole
• Sex toys actively being used in play
• Penetration of holes (including orally)
• Sexual fluids
• Explicitly erotic writing/artworks/etc

😈 OKAY TO POST WITH NSFW TAG:

• Significant cleavage, sideboob, or underboob
• Fully exposed boobs
• Panty shots (from any angle)
• Genitalia that is prominently noticeable through clothing
• "Tasteful" ass shots (think Michaelangelo's statue of David if his genitals were covered)
• Sex toys NOT being actively used (i.e. to show off your collection)
• Certain bondage & kink situations (this will probably need to be evaluated on a case-by-case basis; non-sexual kink is a thing & should be respected)
• Otherwise suggestive or revealing shots
• Particularly spicy memes/infographics/etc
• A link to erotic art/writing/etc hosted on another website
• Suggestive writing/artworks/etc

✅ OKAY TO POST WITHOUT NSFW TAG:

• Fully exposed pecs
• Slight cleavage

Doesn't this cater to double standards around what body parts / types of bodies are sexualized? Yes. I won't tiptoe around that fact. Unfortunately, we live in a society & that society has certain expectations around what is considered NSFW & what isn't. The guidelines we are laying out around NSFW content are largely based on a desire to keep this subreddit from being banned for not adequately tagging NSFW content. It is not representative of any beliefs about what should be considered explicit/obscene/sexual & what shouldn't be.

I'm still not sure if what I want to post should have the NSFW tag. That's totally understandable! The above guidelines are definitely not an exhaustive list & there is an element of subjectivity. It might help to consider the following scenarios:

• A person is browsing the subreddit at work on their break. If their boss or coworker were to see the content they're viewing, could they likely get in trouble?
• A person is browsing the subreddit on public transport. If the person sitting near them were to see the content they're viewing, would they likely feel their consent to view suggestive/sexual content had been violated?

If you're still not sure, feel free to send me a Mod Mail (or DM since there's no easy way to send pics via Mod Mail)! I'm always happy to discuss if certain content or subject matters are appropriate for this community. Or, when in doubt, just assume you need to use the NSFW tag. I can always remove it later if it's not necessary. (And, on the flipside of that, I reserve the right to apply the NSFW tag to posts as I see fit.)

Finally, I have turned off the auto-filter for "potential sexual content" on this subreddit, but if your content somehow gets filtered anyway you can always send me a Mod Mail to make sure it doesn't get overlooked in the Queue. I will manually approve it so long as it fits within the guidelines laid out above!

I hope to see this community continue to be a place where people are free to express themselves, embrace body positivity, and destigmatize sexuality!! This post is long enough without me getting sappy haha~

Now back to your regularly scheduled Himbo Posting! ✨
