What Fansly bans, in its own words
In its own published rules, Fansly bans 11 of the 19 content categories I checked, restricts 2 and never mentions 6. Each quote below is the platform's exact wording, with a link to the page it came from.
What Fansly bans
Banned means the terms prohibit it, or a general ban clearly covers it. Where the terms don't name the category, my note under the quote says so.
-
Blood (real or simulated)
blood, scatological, vomit, excrement-related content or prolapsing
Source Blood named in the prohibited-content list. -
Menstruation
blood, scatological, vomit, excrement-related content or prolapsing
Source General blood ban; menstrual blood not named separately. -

Source Kidnapping, rape and lack of consent named, including simulated. -
Hypnosis or mind-control themes

What Fansly restricts
Restricted means the terms limit it: they ban some forms of it, or allow it only under conditions. Anything the quote doesn't cover is not addressed, which is not the same as allowed.
-
Fisting
weapons (unless obviously fake), asphyxiation, extreme fisting, or genital mutilation
Source 'Extreme fisting' banned; ordinary fisting not addressed. -
Weapons (real or prop)
weapons (unless obviously fake), asphyxiation, extreme fisting, or genital mutilation
Source Weapons banned unless obviously fake.
What Fansly doesn't mention
The published terms say nothing about these. Silence is not permission: a platform can still remove content under a general clause, or under rules that aren't on its public pages.
- Lactation
- Urination
- Urination on a partner
- Full restraint during sex
- Diaper or ABDL content
- Oversized or fantasy toys

What Fansly's terms say about the deal
From my comparison of platform terms. I finished reading Fansly's pages on November 11, 2026. Each line says what the words say, not whether a court would enforce them. I'm not a lawyer.

No clear answer in the pages I read: AI training on your content; Your content or name in promotion; After you delete or leave. That is not a promise either way.
