“breasts, buttocks and the pelvic area” can now be shown

Twitchthe main platform for broadcasting live, has announced a revolutionary change in its content policy, which will now bring it much closer to ‘sites’ like OnlyFans or, directly, the porn pages.

The Amazon platform has announced an update on “how sexual content is covered”which means that, de facto, adult content can be seen in the live shows.

The reason is explained in the statement itself. «Our streamers constantly tell us that our current policies on sexual content are confusing and sometimes it is difficult for them to know whether their content will be interpreted in accordance with these policies. “We want streamers to feel confident that they know our rules and for viewers to have peace of mind that they will get the experience they expect,” they say.

And many (especially many) content creators dedicated to sexual content saw how their live shows were penalized. Now, they have decided to change several aspects, as long as they are labeled as adult content.

This is how breasts can be shown on Twitch

From now on, it is allowed with the label “content that deliberately highlights the breasts, buttocks or pelvic area, even if they are completely covered with clothing. They explain that this is because “the previous sexually suggestive content policy was not in line with industry standards and, as a result, female-looking streamers were disproportionately penalized.”

This includes “exposed fictitious female-looking breasts” (drawn, animated or sculpted) o genitals and glutes completely exposed, regardless of gender,” as well as the body writing. The objective of this opening is to benefit those who dedicate themselves to art.

They may also broadcast “erotic dances that involve undressing or undressing gestures, such as striptease», including «twerking, grinding and pole dancing». From the platform they give examples of dances that were previously banned, such as a twerking at a weddingor a pole dancing class.

There will be no porn on Twitch

This openness to erotic content on the platform does not imply that pornographic material can be accessed or not, at least in a clear way. One of the filters that will be put in place is that “streams that have labels indicating that they contain drug and alcohol use and excessive tobacco consumption, depictions of violent graphic content, gambling and explicit content will no longer be included in recommendation shelves of the home page due to the visual nature of said themes.

The challenge will be to continue putting limits on this type of content on the platform, with the aim that “viewers do not see content that they have not consented to see.”

The keys for this content will be the tags correctly.

Hot tubs, the trick of erotic streamers

That it is now explicitly allowed does not mean that there was no erotic content on the platform before. Some of the most popular, like Amouranth, used content such as ‘hot tubs’ (broadcasts from beaches and swimming pools dressed in bikinis) or directly the topless emissions showing only the upper part of the breasts without the nipples being seen.
