You may join the community by using the "join community-click here" button located above or by leaving us a message at the public post inside.

In order for us to confirm that you are at least eighteen years of age, you MUST have your full birthdate, including the year, listed in the user information at your journal. Please check that it is listed AND viewable by non-friends before asking for membership. If we can't see your birthdate, we will have no choice but to reject your application.

RULES

This may seem like a lot of rules, but because we are sharing adult material here, we want to establish very clear guidelines so no one breaks the law or the terms of service for Live Journal. Once we all know the exact limits of our sandbox, we can be much more relaxed and free when we play inside it.

• No Flames (negative criticism of hurtful, derogatory or personal nature).
• Giving feedback: We encourage you to give FB all the time. Look at the picture and say what you think and feel about it. Feelings are FB too, no need to stick to technical stuff. If you can do both, even better! Even short positive comments are a good thing, even if it as simple as: “Wow! I love it.”
• Any sort of fan art is allowed (ship, slash, gen) as long as it involves alteration of a photo. If you wish to share other art, such as an original drawing, please provide a link rather than post the art here.

Labeling Entries
* The bits in bold are the main titles - you must use one of these.
* The other bits tell you what you need to add to the main title.
* A thread is a series of responses to an original entry. If a thread starts off as one subject but then changes to another, please change the title.
* Rating - Give warnings such as nudity, full frontal, explicit full frontal, sex, explicit sex

BASE - name/s of who it is + warning/rating (for pictures of stars)

SCREENCAP - Who cap it, size, film/interview/event name
OT – Anything not covered by the above (OT= Off Topic)

Hints on Warning/Ratings:
Please don’t just give the US rating as that doesn’t make enough distinction between the various levels of adult material and besides, many of us aren’t American and don’t know the levels anyway. Here are some suggestions. The descriptions aren’t meant to be complete, they can’t possibly cover everything, but they should give you the general idea.

Levels of Nudity

• Mild nudity – bare torsos, male nipples, wet tee-shirts
• Moderate nudity – female nipples, bare butts and bottoms, glimpses of pubic hair
• Partial frontal – any part of a mans penis, or a scrotum on display
• Full frontal – male or female genitals fully on show
• Explicit full frontal – aroused or erect penises.

Levels of Sex

• Slash – warnings for implied or obvious male/male or female/female pairings
• Sex – sexual act but you can’t actually see the details, kissing of nipples
• Explicit sex – you can actually see sex of any kind (oral, anal, hands stimulating genitals, vaginal all included)

And of course no one is to Ever under any circumstances Share, Post a picture, or link to someone's work without getting permission from the Artist FIRST, and if they say NO, that is it... the art in this group Stays in this Group . Also never use or alter another's work without the artist's written permission. When someone has created a piece of art, it is their own property. That means you may not post it to the group to share without the artist's permission. If you get permission to post someone else’s work, you must post the entire picture including the signature. You may not ask for help here in altering the work of others. You may not use any portion of another's work to create new works unless the artist has given explicit permission, such as a "stock" photo. The ban includes (but is not limited to) any photo manipulation or fan art posted elsewhere on the internet that you may run across. There are plenty of other free resources to obtain for creating manips. Ask on the list and members will help.

Once you are admitted to the group, be sure to read the post that stays at the top of the main journal page (Recent Entries). It contains expanded and additional information on posting, resources, and guidelines.

You are very welcome to join us and enjoy the porn!
