18 U.S.C. 2257 Exemption For User Submitted Content

The operators of this website are not the producers of any depictions of actual or simulated sexually explicit conduct submitted by its third party users / members. Instead, the activities of the operators of this website, with respect to such content, are limited to the transmission, storage, retrieval, hosting and/or formatting of depictions posted directly to the website by third party users, on areas of the website under the users control. Pursuant to Title 18 U.S.C. 2257(h)(2)(B)(v) and 47 U.S.C. 230©, the operators of this website reserve the right to delete content posted by users which operators deem to be indecent, obscene, defamatory or inconsistent with their policies and terms of use.

Additional Information About The Literotica Community

Literotica is exempt from 18 U.S.C. section 2257 because the site publishes primarily text stories, not sexually explicit photographs or videos of real people. Any photographs or videos hosted on these servers are either non-sexually explicit (as defined in 18 U.S.C section 2256) or uploaded by users (see above). Content published by users will be removed if reported for violating our content guidelines or any US laws.

Any sexually explicit pictures or videos offered at Literotica are done so by linking to third party websites and are not hosted on these servers. Questions about 18 U.S.C. 2257 issues for sites linked from this website should be directed to those third parties.

Specifically (but not limited to), the Literotica Cams, , Literotica Toy Store, and the Literotica Personals are all managed and hosted by third parties.

All content posted on the Literotica forums is required to meet Literotica’s Content Guidelines, which do not allow posting of or by any persons under 18 years of age or the posting of any sexually explicit materials, as defined in 18 U.S.C section 2256.

Because the Literotica forum is recognized as one of the largest adult forums on the web (50,000.000+ posts), and one of the most active forums anywhere on the internet, it would be impossible to monitor all posts in real time - just as Twitter or Facebook cannot monitor all of their users at all times. Literotica responds to complaints about forum content and may randomly review selected posts to assure compliance with existing U.S. laws and regulations.

If you have questions, or you would like to report any user submitted content you believe should be reviewed, please use the Literotica contact form. We are easy to work with and care deeply about keeping the Literotica Community safe.
