Game streaming platform Twitch can't seem to settle down "about boobs and butts." It looks like Twitch once again be redefining its policy on nudity on streams as it now has something to do with "Butt Streaming."

This time, it looks like you can stream parts of your body, but not your entire playthrough of Baldur's Gate 3.
A tweet from Twitch support says the platform has updated its rules regarding "emerging behavior" to no longer allow streamers to focus on specific body parts.
"Starting Friday, March 29th, content that focuses on erotic body parts for extended periods of time will not be allowed," Twitch tweeted on Wednesday.
So what's going on? Well, some streamers have found a way to get around Twitch's rules and have been putting out streams in which the games being played are shown either on breasts (Tits Streaming) or buttocks (Butt Streaming).

This is Twitch's fourth policy change in nearly as many months. Back in December, it allowed "artistic depictions" of nudity, then changed the policy a few days later. Then, in January, Twitch updated its policy to require streamers to wear black censorship bars over their private parts while streaming.

Will streamers find a way around this rule change? Probably. It's just a matter of time. However, Twitch CEO Dan Clancy said in an interview with Aftermath on Tuesday that he's interested in revisiting the conversation about artistic nudity on Twitch. He says that labeling and preference options for whether or not you'll see nudity are something Twitch could consider in the future. For now, though, if you prefer porn with your video games, there are probably a few websites that can satisfy that need.
