The Sexiest Group At Deviant Art. Featuring Porn and Erotic Portraits.
|
After some build up and confusion. Things are due to get real on May 1st 2022 for Free Flickr Members. The announced new Flickr TOS which states only paying members will be allowed to share 'NSFW' or as Flickr terms them 'Moderate' or 'Restricted' images. When it happens you cannot post porn or erotica as a free account member. A problem for Pornstars Members of course. ( At the same time as helping other Free Flickr users, I'd like to reassure Pro Flickr Members that their work is welcome as always on our scene and on this blog, Ali will continue to source Gallery photographs from the Flickr Sexiest Group and publish them here, as well as the new Sexiest Group over at DeviantArt. )
The Latest Suggestions And Plans For Pornstars Members On Free Accounts
If you want the latest on this and some ideas for what's next visit the
'Pornstars Survival Guide For "Non Flickr Pro Members' Page Here. We have tried to find good alternatives.
Please Consider These Options below. Don't wait for Flickr to cease working for you. Put your alternative plans into action right now!
Personal Blogs -
All Real World Pornstar Superstars Have their own Website. So Second Life's biggest Pornstars, 'The Sexiest Pornstars' should at least have their own blogs! Having your own space gives you total control of your work and how you present it. Without limits on explicit content, or any upload quantity caps. It also raises your profile on the scene. All the main Blogging options are free. Such as Wyx, and Word Press which offer a very professional finished look. I have always gone with Blogger, for ease of use, and user-friendly creation. Many of us have a Google Account which means we can simply just go in and start a Blogger Blog ( Like this one. ) from your Google Apps right away!
You can then promote your blog, and posts in our Sexiest Pornstars Group via our Notices.
Deviant Art -
Deviant Art Is simply the best site i have found as an alternative to 'Free Flickr'. It is very welcoming towards Second Life Adult Content. We can maintain our community and social side as with Flickr. We also have a 'Sexiest Group' there ready and waiting. A place Ali can gather content for H.A.M, T.T, Hump Day Galleries etc. So we can function as a community. To aid Ali further as she now has to source two groups. I've created H.A.M, T.T, and Hump-Day Folders in the DeviantArt Sexiest group.
There are many places to host NSFW imagery but DeviantArt lets us do it in a very similar manner to how things have always worked, with the Groups, comments, and the likes. It also offers many more options too than Flickr on the interactive and social side.
DA ( Deviant Art. ) does have TOS forbidding extreme 'Hard Core' content. ie up close graphic penetrations, bodily fluids, insertions etc. However a huge percent of the images shared every day in our in-world group would fall inside these rules. Plus it lets the Galleries on this Blog function just as they always have by members adding to 'The Sexiest Group' at DA. In the top image of this post you'll see 'Porn' and Erotica added to the Deviant Art Sexiest Group by various Pornstars Members. Also Rachel Swallows image here on the blog, on our DA side bar graphic is 'Porn'! And very hot Porn at that! So don't believe all the nay sayers! DA IS suitable for a huge percent of Pornstars Output seen daily. It's free, it's friendly to us, and will support our community. It's letting you post stuff Flickr will not very soon!
I know many are worried about DeviantArt TOS and 'Explicit' content. Many of those rules are made with 'Real Life' Imagery in mind. My experience of the site over the course of my first month is that 'Art', and SL images can go further than 'Real Photographs'. It's a new home for many of us we'll learn by testing the boundaries I'm sure. All i know is i have seen lots of 'Porn' at DeviantArt. Anime, SL, and Artistic Porn is a whole other thing than RL Graphic up close, in your face stuff.
If you regularly produce content which you feel breaks their rules. Produce a 'Safer' Promo image and use the image description at DA on your Image to steer people to your Personal Blog, or other space of your choosing where the rest of your 'Hard Core' content is hosted.

Many Pornstars I've spoken to in recent times believe one good thing that can come out of the whole FlickrGate thing. This is us adapting and evolving as a result. Some wonderful alternatives for free Flickr members have emerged. But it's also been apparent that we should never let ourselves be caught in this position again! With just one platform holding so much sway over our scene. One platform in particular thugh, is extremely Porn Friendly.
Twitter is home to the world's top real life Porn Stars. And there is absolutely no reason it cannot be a great home for us too. Sharing Video Clips on Twitter is a superb way to promote your latest movies, and the same goes for Photo sharing. 'Tweets' sending your followers and fellow Pornstars to wherever your main body of work is hosted are easy and easily accessible. Especially if you use...
This Hash Tag has the ability to effectively post your Porn Content into an
Official Sexiest® Pornstars pool of Porn on
Twitter. Easily searchable by entering the
#TheSexiestPornstarsSL into a Twitter search. Displaying everybody's Tweets within our community. Wouldn't it also be cool to tag in some of your favourite real world Porn Stars on your Porn Tweets? Getting a like from your idols is so cool. As with DeviantArt also, it's so good and satisfying to expand things and bring Second Life Pornstars work to a wider audience.
A tip for those who may already have their 'RL' persona logged in on their Twitter App. Why not make a new account for your Second Life Avatar. And log them in on a alternative web browser on your device. Meaning you never have to log in and out and swap accounts ever. You can keep both your Twitter lives separate. Serenity is the only 'Me' on Twitter, but i have used this method for other things in the past.
