THE CAGE – Content Policy

This page sets out THE CAGE's content standards for all images and media shared on the platform. These standards apply across all areas of the site (profiles, blogs, forums, chat areas, and any other community spaces) and to all members regardless of subscription level.

Our content framework has four tiers: Clean, Nudity, Explicit, and Prohibited. Every image you upload or share on THE CAGE falls into one of these categories. Please read this page carefully before uploading content.

These standards are referenced in our Rules, Community Standards, and Blog Rules. In the event of any conflict, this page is the authoritative reference.


Clean: Permitted everywhere

Clean content is permitted across all areas of the site, including public-facing surfaces visible to non-members.

  • Clothed images; fetish fashion, gear, leather, or latex on a covered body
  • Bare male chest
  • Swimwear and lingerie
  • Suggestive but covered poses
  • Kissing, including French kissing
  • Consensual marks, rope, or wax where no lasting harm is shown

Nudity: Permitted in the members-only area only

Nudity-level content is welcome on THE CAGE but is restricted to the logged-in, age-affirmed members area. It must not appear on any public or discoverable surface.

  • Visible female breasts or nipples
  • Bare buttocks (any gender)
  • Full nudity, provided no genitals or anus are visible and no sexual act is shown

A note on gender and the chest

The only gender distinction in our content framework relates to the chest. An exposed female chest (visible breasts or nipples) is nudity-level content and is restricted to the members area. A bare male chest is clean and permitted everywhere. Buttocks, genitals, and sexual acts are assessed identically regardless of gender.


Explicit: Not permitted; will be removed

Explicit content is not permitted anywhere on the platform. Content falling into this category will be removed. Repeated violations may result in account suspension or termination.

  • Any visible genitals or anus (any gender, erect or not)
  • Any sexual act, real or simulated (including intercourse, oral sex, masturbation, or penetration)
  • A toy used on or in a body
  • Ejaculation or sexual fluids

Prohibited: Never permitted; removed and escalated

Prohibited content is absolutely not permitted under any circumstances. It will be removed immediately. Where required by law, it will be reported to the relevant authorities, and the account involved will be subject to immediate action up to and including permanent termination.

  • Any image involving a person under 18, in any context (including non-sexual images). This applies in any medium: drawings, renders, and AI-generated imagery are treated exactly like photographs where the depiction is sexualised.
  • Content depicting, implying, or celebrating non-consent (including images involving someone who is asleep, drugged, hypnotised, or otherwise incapacitated)
  • Incest
  • Bestiality
  • Scat
  • Death, snuff, or content depicting the loss of life in a sexual context
  • Graphic violence, mutilation, or lasting physical harm
  • Weapons used in intimate or sexual content

Minors

THE CAGE is strictly an adult platform. The protection of minors is our highest priority and is a zero-tolerance area: there are no exceptions and no grey areas.

  • No image of a person under 18 is permitted anywhere on the platform under any circumstances, including non-sexual images. This applies in any medium: drawings, renders, and AI-generated imagery are treated exactly like photographs where the depiction is sexualised.
  • If you are unsure whether a person in an image could be under 18, do not post it. Uncertainty is not a reason to proceed. It is a reason to stop.
  • If we have reason to believe an account holder may be under 18, access to the account is paused pending a successful 18+ Age Check. Accounts that do not complete the check within the stated window are closed. If you believe such an action was taken in error, contact support@thecage.co.
  • All members are required to report any content they suspect involves a minor immediately. Use the report function or contact a staff member directly. Reports involving minors are treated as the highest priority and jump the review queue.

How We Review Content

THE CAGE uses a combination of automated tools and human review to moderate content on the platform.

Uploaded images are assessed by automated tools. Content identified as not meeting these standards may be automatically restricted from display. You can always request a human review of any automated decision affecting your content; appeals are reviewed by a person, and all account-level actions (warnings, suspensions, terminations) are taken by a human member of our team.

We work hard to keep THE CAGE free from scammers, fake profiles, and bad actors. Alongside content moderation, we use trusted third-party identity verification tools to protect the integrity of our community:

  • Members in countries where the law requires age verification (including the UK, France, Germany, Italy, and Australia) are required to complete an 18+ Age Check via Yoti before accessing the platform. This applies to new and returning members alike.
  • All members may optionally verify their identity via Veriff, which confirms both identity and age. This is available to Basic and Premium members for a small fee and adds a verified status to your profile.

For details of how verification and moderation data is handled, see our Privacy Policy.


If You Are Unsure

If you are unsure whether an image or piece of content complies with this policy, do not post it. You are welcome to contact us at support@thecage.co for guidance before uploading.

When in doubt, the question to ask is not "can I prove this is allowed?"; it is "am I confident this is allowed?" If the answer is anything other than yes, hold off and check with us first.


Appeals

If a photo of yours was restricted under this policy, the fastest way to appeal is your Review my photos page, where you can request a human review with one click. For anything else, or if you prefer, you may request a review by contacting us at support@thecage.co. Please include details of the content removed and your reasons for requesting a review. We will consider all appeals fairly and respond as promptly as we are able.
