Hey there! We're glad you're here. We want to make sure you have a great time on JOI, so we've put together some guidelines around adult content to help you understand what's allowed and what's not. Please take a moment to read through them.
You may share consensually created and distributed adult content, including nudity or sexual activity, as long as it's properly labeled.
We believe in the freedom of expression and the right to share and consume adult content. However, we also want to make sure that everyone feels safe and comfortable on JOI. We prohibit the sharing of non-consensual adult content or content that promotes or glorifies child exploitation.
Adult Content includes, but is not limited to, any consensually created and distributed content that contains or depicts adult nudity or sexual activity, whether implied or explicit. This includes:
AI-generated adult content, Photographic or animated content such as hentai, erotic art, or adult-themed illustrations.
Visible genitals, buttocks, breasts, female nipples, or anuses. Partially, prominently, or fully visible, nude, or engaged in sexual activity.
Clothing like lingerie, fetish wear, micro bikinis, transparent or see-through clothing, or any other clothing that is intended to be sexually suggestive or clearly inappropriate for casual browsing.
Explicit or implied sexual acts, including any form of sexual intercourse or penetration, or other sexual activities like usage of toys, masturbation, etc. This also includes clothed sexual simulation, pixelated, blurred or strategically covered sexual activity or genitalia.
Text content that is sexually explicit or contains adult themes. Including the look for sexual activities with other JOIs like sexting.
If your content fits within the definition of Adult Content, you need to properly label it as Not Safe For Work (NSFW) to ensure that it's only visible to users who are interested in seeing it. If you're unsure whether your content should be labeled as NSFW, then it probably should be, you can always reach out to us for clarification.
We believe in the freedom of expression to create stories as users wish. However, the following are not allowed:
Texts involving exploitation or glorification of any kind of abuse of minors.
Underage plots or any content that sexualizes minors.
Due to the graphic nature of media content, we have stricter restrictions. The following are not allowed:
Non-consensual nudity.
Any kind of child exploitation.
Bestiality and necrophilia
Adult Content is not allowed in profile pictures or banner images. This applies to profiles (Meet included), public group chats, and clubs. We may remove any media content that violates this policy at our discretion. If you're unsure whether your content is allowed, please reach out to us.
Some exceptions:
This does not apply to media content shared in direct messages or group chats.
Lingerie, underwear, or swimwear is allowed as long as genitals, female nipples, and anuses are well covered.
Multiple violations of this policy may result in a suspension of your account.
We will allow interracial content while maintaining a strict stance against any form of racism, racial supremacy, or hate speech. To ensure a safe and inclusive space for all users, the following rules apply:
Allowed content
Romantic, sexual, or content featuring individuals of different races.
BDSM or power dynamics as long as race is not the focus.
Expressing attraction to a certain race (e.g., "I love latinas" or "Black guys are hot") without fetishizing or degrading language.
Not allowed
Any roleplay, discussion, or content that promotes one race as superior or another as inferior.
The use of racial slurs in any context, even if it's consensual. (We do understand some communities have reclaimed slurs, but in the context of racial play, it's not allowed.)
Content that reduces a race to harmful stereotypes.
Any form of roleplay that mirrors real-world racial oppression or discrimination, including but not limited to slavery, nazi-themed roleplay, or segregation scenarios.
Any form of content where a person is degraded, insulted, or humiliated due to their race.
JOI allows consensual non-consent (CNC) only under strict guidelines to ensure all participants engage with full awareness and consent.
Allowed content
Everything must be fully consensual, with clear boundaries and safewords respected at all times.
This content is only permitted in opt-in spaces, such as direct messages, public or private chats, and clubs where users have explicitly chosen to engage with it.
Users may advertise their interest in CNC or CNC-related groups and clubs in public spaces such as the timeline or profile, but without depicting or describing CNC scenarios.
Not allowed
CNC content may not be posted in the timeline or any non-opt-in are to prevent exposing users to content they may not want to see.
Any images, videos, or media content that depict real non-consensual sexual activity or violence are strictly prohibited.
Content that encourages, justifies, or glorifies real-life sexual violence or non-consensual sexual activity is not allowed.
Profiles under the age of 18 are not allowed, if you come across any, please report them to us.
We also don't allow actual promotion of Out-of-Character (OOC) sexual services, it doesn't matter if it's through text or media content.
If you want to share Adult Content on JOI, you need to mark your profile as NSFW. This will ensure that your profile is only visible to users who are interested in seeing Adult Content. Here's how you can do it:
Go to your Settings page.
Under the Your Profile section, you'll see a checkbox next to a label saying Mark your profile as NSFW
Check the box to mark your profile as NSFW.
That's it. Your profile is now marked as NSFW, and you can share Adult Content on JOI.
If you want to share Adult Content in a group chat, you need to mark the group chat as NSFW. You will need the **Manage Group** permission to do this. Here's how you can do it:
Go to the group chat you want to mark as NSFW, then look for the Group info button in the top right corner of the chat screen.
Tap on the Edit details button.
Switch the NSFW toggle to the right.
That's it. Your group chat is now marked as NSFW, and all members will be able to share Adult Content in the group chat.
We hide NSFW content by default to ensure that users who don't want to see it don't accidentally come across it. If you want to change this setting, you can do so in your Settings page. Here's how you can do it:
Go to your Settings page.
Under the Your Profile section, you'll see some radio buttons next to a label saying Control NSFW content visibility
The options are:
Hide posts from NSFW profiles: This will totally hide posts from profiles marked as Not Safe For Work.
Show NSFW content: This will show all NSFW content without any blurring.
Choose the option that you're most comfortable with. It will take effect immediately.
If you come across any content that violates our Adult Content Policy, please report it to us. We take these reports seriously and will take appropriate action to ensure that JOI remains a safe and welcoming place for everyone.
