- Child sexual exploitation: Forcing, manipulating, or enticing someone under 18 years old, regardless of local laws, to engage in sexual activity, whether in person or online, is prohibited. Learn more.
- Human trafficking: Recruiting, harboring, transporting, transferring, or receiving of an individual by force, fraud, or coercion for the purposes of labor or sexual exploitation is not allowed. Learn more.
- Incall commercial sex work: A stay, Experience, or its surrounding property should not be used for paid sexual services, such as erotic massages or prostitution.
- Procuring sex work: Guests should not request and Hosts should not promote or offer paid sexual services.
- Commercial pornography: A stay, Experience, or its surrounding property should not be used for the creation of commercial pornography, photos, or videos.
