Only Fans will prohibit users from posting any sexually explicit conduct starting in October, the company announced Thursday.
The U.K.-based company said the change is because of mounting pressure from banking partners and payment providers.
“In order to ensure the long-term sustainability of our platform, and continue to host an inclusive community of creators and fans, we must evolve our content guidelines,” OnlyFans said.
Creators will still be allowed to post nude photos and videos, provided they're consistent with OnlyFans' policy.
OnlyFans has attracted more than 130 million users by giving online creators a platform to charge their fans for photos and videos.
Bradley French, a Chicago-based creator, told GoPride.com he made roughly $1,500 monthly with his content.
“Looks like JustForFans will take over. OnlyFans will die in a year," he said. "Sex work is the oldest business in the world."
French, 41, also challenged OnlyFans reason for the policy change since the site takes a 20% cut from creator's monthly profits.
The news, first reported by Bloomberg, was confirmed by the company in a statement:

"These changes are to comply with the requests of our banking partners and payout providers.
