Online content describing or depicting things of an intimate nature. Depending on cultural context, this may include nudity, parts of the body not generally exposed in public, sexually explicit material, or depictions of sex acts. May also include offensive, graphic, or violent content, or association with content or commerce involving gambling, sex, medical procedures, or recreational drug use.

Commentary:
- Sometimes used interchangeably with “adult,” “intimate,” “pornography,” or “NSFW” (“Not Safe for Work”)
- Services with global content policies can face challenges resulting from different cultural contexts for explicit content. For example, a campaign to raise awareness of breast cancer could be removed due to policies that prohibit nudity.
