Ad policy · OpenAI
Can you advertise adult and sexual content on ChatGPT?
No. Sexually explicit ads, sexual services, nudity and nudify tools aren’t allowed. Lingerie and swimwear in an ordinary retail context may be.
“Sexually explicit advertising—including pornography, sexual services, full nudity, explicit sexual acts, or imagery intended to provoke sexual arousal—is not permitted.”[1]Ad policies (v1.6, updated 10 Sep 2026) · OpenAI · read 10 Nov 2026
Adult and sexual content on other AI channels
The same category is treated differently on each channel. A rule on one channel doesn’t apply to the others.
| Channel | Treatment | Conditions |
|---|---|---|
| ChatGPT (this page) | Not allowed | Not allowed; ordinary retail may be.[1] |
| Google AI | Allowed with conditions | Limited serving by age, query and law.[2] |
| Gravity | Not allowed | Not allowed.[3] |
“No category rule” means the provider has no rule for this category; its general policies still apply.
Where ChatGPT ads never appear
Separately from what you advertise, OpenAI keeps ads away from some conversations, whatever the advertiser.
- Safe conversations only
- Ads appear only next to conversations OpenAI considers safe; sensitive and brand-unsafe contexts are excluded.[1]
- Excluded topics
- No ads in conversations about political content, regulated goods such as gambling and tobacco, weapons, suicide or self-harm, child safety, debated social issues or misinformation, among others.[1]
- Vulnerable contexts
- No ads in emotionally reliant conversations, mental or personal health conversations, or other sensitive moments.[1]
- Advice topics
- Since April 2026, conversations asking for medical, legal or financial advice are no longer automatically excluded from ads.[1]
How Admux screens it
Admux screens each campaign against the rules of every channel you select, before anything is submitted. Each channel is checked on its own, so a rule on one channel never blocks the others.
For ChatGPT, a adult and sexual content campaign isn’t submitted. You can still run it on Google AI, where adult and sexual content is allowed with conditions.
