  • A man talks about imagining that he and a woman '...make love for 10 days straight.'
  • A man and a woman talk about the differences between men and women when it comes to sexual pleasure ('men are easier to please'), and a man talks about teenagers losing their virginity.

Our Safety Parameters

We measure one thing and one thing only: visual nudity and sex scenes. Every TV show and movie is rated Safe, Slightly Safe, or Unsafe.

SAFE
  • Zero visual nudity or sex scenes throughout the movie or episode
  • Verbal references, dialogue, or jokes are considered safe
  • Violence and profanity do not affect the safety rating
SLIGHTLY SAFE
  • ~Only brief flashes of nudity (a second or two) or partial / distant exposure
  • ~Sex is implied — covered, under sheets, fades to black, no body parts shown
  • ~No extended, graphic, or repeated sexual content
UNSAFE
  • Clear visual nudity (breasts, genitals, full buttocks shown plainly)
  • On-screen sex scenes with thrusting, undressing, or extended intimacy
  • Multiple or graphic sexual scenes anywhere in the movie or episode

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you measure a TV show or movie's safety?

Our team actually watches the TV shows and movies, reads reviews, and goes through viewer comments. Your feedback helps us amend, fix, and add ratings over time. We rate every TV show and movie one of three ways: SAFE (zero visual nudity or sex), SLIGHTLY SAFE (only brief flashes or implied scenes — nothing extended or graphic), or UNSAFE (clear or extended visual nudity / sex).

Why don't you rate violence or language?

Plenty of other sites already do that. Our single focus is visual sexual content — that's the one thing parents most often want to filter out before family movie night.

How accurate are your ratings?

We watch the TV shows and movies ourselves, cross-check with reviews and viewer comments, and rely on our community to flag anything we miss. We're human — we might miss a quick scene, or a title may have multiple cuts. If you catch a mistake, please report it and we'll re-check and fix it the same day.

What about dialogue, jokes, or references to sex?

Anything spoken is fine in our system. We only judge what is actually shown on screen.

What if a scene is brief or implied?

That's exactly what our SLIGHTLY SAFE rating is for. If a TV show or movie only contains brief flashes of nudity (a second or two), partial / distant exposure, or implied sex with no body parts shown (under sheets, fades to black), we mark it SLIGHTLY SAFE rather than UNSAFE — so you know there's something, but it's not extended or graphic. Titles with clear, extended, or repeated visual nudity / sex stay UNSAFE.

What do I do if I think a rating is wrong?

Use the Report an Error button on any TV show or movie page (or in the footer). Tell us what you saw and we'll re-check the source.
