With the recent change in Tumblr’s policy on nudity many creators (and visitors) are looking for an alternative platform to keep on going.
I have listed alternative platforms which came to my mind and did some basic research to help you to make an educated choice.
What made tumblr attractive in the past was a unique combination of
a large user base, which both provides plenty of new content and people eager to look/like/reblog it (in other words: A large audience to the creators work)
Liberal rules on nudity
Wed and mobile application
No costs
This combination is hard to find again.
My verdicts are for now:
Ello or deviantArt for creators who wnt to share their work among other creators
Vero for people who are essentially looking for a “nsfw-Instagram”
VK.com: For the adventurous
500px: I want to post or view really good photographed breasts
Flickr: I just ant du dump all my hotos somewhere to share it by link
Artfolio, Website: I need a “business card” to share by link
I personally will focus on Ello, Vero and my own website. Let me know if you are in

Other: Ello claims several notable distinguishing
intentions as a social network: never sell user data to advertisers or third
parties, never show advertisements, and not enforce a real-name policy.
Vero

anyone who loves anything enough to share it – and wants control over who they
share it with. Just like we do in real life.

shared.

He had made the mistake of allowing her to orgasm. She’d been a real brat about it too. So that’s why he had put her in the basement. He’d kept her naked all weekend, only going down there to fuck her cunt or ass, focusing on his own pleasure. Grabbing her hair, he forced her in the position he liked and fucked away his frustrations with her. She’d break and return to being his obedient girl soon enough.
