Subreddit Rules
- ENGAGE CONSTRUCTIVELY AT ALL TIMES: **1) ENGAGE CONSTRUCTIVELY**
- ALL contributions should be constructive, on-topic, sex-positive, & respectful. Offensive & discriminatory conduct merits immediate bans as does hitting on people (jokes count), body shaming, etc.
- READ THE FAQ & FORUM RULES BEFORE POSTING/COMMENTING: **2) READ THE FAQ & FORUM RULES BEFORE POSTING/COMMENTING**
- We are not an "all things sex" sub. Our guidelines explain what topics are allowed and which are not as well as expectations for conduct. See [the full /r/sex rules post](https://reddit.com/r/sex/comments/gbjq7r/the_new_rsex_guidelines_and_sidebar_rules_please/) before posting.
- Posting off-topic or restricted topics can result in bans. Being ignorant of our rules isn't an excuse, hence why we created this rule.
- CHECK PAST POSTS BEFORE POSTING A COMMON TOPIC: **3) DON'T OVERLOOK PAST POSTS.**
- Many questions may be new to you, but are very common in our community. Before you submit a post on a common topic, search the forum. We specifically filter for repetitive/common topics including: "how to" posts seeking "tips" or "ideas", "first time/virgin" posts, and other hyper-common topics.
- ALL CONTRIBUTIONS MUST BE SEX POSITIVE: **ALL CONTRIBUTIONS MUST BE SEX POSITIVE.** We demand that consenting adults be free to express their sexuality as they see fit. Kink shaming, slut shaming, and similar conduct will not be tolerated. Links or references to sex negative communities or websites (No Fap, Porn Free, etc) will not be tolerated. Attacks on the lifestyle of other consenting adults will not be tolerated.
- r/SEX IS FOR ASKING ADVICE IN POSTS, ADVICE IS GIVEN IN COMMENTS: **5) POSTS SEEK ACTIONABLE ADVICE, COMMENTS PROVIDE IT.**
- The main forum is focused primarily on posts _asking_ for actionable advice for distinctive personal situations. _Giving_ advice should be done in the comments, not in posts.
- Likewise, we are not a sex stories or rant-about-sex sub. There are other subs for that, but not ours.
- If your post isn't seeking actionable advice, it can/will be removed.
- DO NOT TROLL OR ENGAGE WITH TROLLS HERE: **DO NOT TROLL OR ENGAGE WITH TROLLS HERE**
- Trolling or fake posts of any sort merit an immediate permaban.
- Likewise, do not try to challenge, question, tease, fight, or outwit trolls here. This only makes matters worse.
- Instead, use the Report button to alert moderators, who will review every single reported item.
- NO DM REQUESTS/OFFERS: ALL DISCUSSION MUST BE DIRECTED INTO THE PUBLIC FORUM (aka No DMs)
- Do not seek private conversations here, via DMs, chats or any other method. Every comment must be a clear attempt to engage with an ongoing public discussion. Violations of this rule will result in permanent bans. For users getting unwanted DMs in your inbox, read here on how to prevent them: https://www.reddit.com/r/sex/wiki/rules/#wiki_blocking_dms_when_making_a_new_post
- DO NOT POST RESTRICTED CONTENT OR RE-POST REMOVED POSTS: **DO NOT POST RESTRICTED CONTENT OR RE-POST REMOVED POSTS:**
- This sub is for seeking actionable advice around sex & sexuality. It is not a free-for-all sub about anything sex-related. For explanations of what we allow and disallow, please see [the full /r/sex rules post](https://reddit.com/r/sex/comments/gbjq7r/the_new_rsex_guidelines_and_sidebar_rules_please/) before posting to us. Also: if your post is removed by a mod and you try to re-post again, this will be treated as a violation.
- NO USE OF AI FOR POSTING/COMMENTS, NO REPOSTS: **NO USE OF AI FOR POSTING/COMMENTS, NO REPOSTS**
- Reddit uses AI detection software to spot potential bot-posts and spam but people are encouraged to report posts that look fake, AI-generated, or are reposts of content created by other users.
- NO MISINFORMATION OR GENDER GENERALIZATIONS: Content that is being irresponsibly inaccurate or reflective of a sex negative (or sexist) agenda will be removed and posters are subject to ban. This applies to topics involving medical issues, birth control, ED/PE, porn use, circumcision, and similar subjects. This especially applies to overgeneralizations about gender norms, values, sexual preferences etc.
- NO BAN EVASION: **NO BAN EVASION**
- This is simple: if you've been banned from our sub and attempt to use a burner account to return, Reddit will likely detect this and report your account. Any connected accounts will be reported to Reddit admins for disciplinary action.
- If your account is flagged as being used for ban evasion, r/sex's mods have no control over this and you'll need to take it up with the main Reddit administration system.
- NO SELF PROMOTION: We do NOT allow self promotional posts or comments, especially if they seek to lure traffic to another site or promote a product. If you're trying to sell something, conduct market research, host an AMA, etc., these posts will get you banned. Linking to sex-positive blogs or podcasts is allowed, provided you make an effort to start a conversation here about the topic and use the link as supporting material.
