We've created rule presets with some recommended configurations. You can customize these rules further after creation or use an Allow rule to add exceptions if something is wrongfully blocked.

Adult content means different things to different people. We've specified a preset with all related categories, but you can customize this after the rule is created.
Adult Themes: Sites that are hosting content related to pornography, nudity, sexuality, and other adult themes.Nudity,Pornography: These are sub-categories of Adult Themes
Lingerie & Bikini,Swimsuits: Not related to Adult Themes, but frequently blocked by people who are filtering out explicit content.
