Eligibility:
You must be eighteen or over to register as a member of or
use this site. Membership in the service is void where prohibited.
By using and/or viewing this site, you represent and warrant
that you have the right, authority, and capacity to enter
into this agreement and to abide by all of the terms and conditions
of this agreement and that you are at least 18-years old (21-years
old in AL, MS, NE, WY, and any other location where 18 is
not the age of majority) - who are interested in and wish
to have access to visual images, verbal and written descriptions
and audio sounds of a sexually oriented, and frankly erotic
nature. The materials, which are available within this site
may include graphic visual depictions and descriptions of
nudity and sexual activity and should not be accessed by anyone
who is younger than 18-years old (21-years old in AL, MS,
NE, WY, and any other location where 18 is not the age of
majority) or who is offended by such materials or who does
not wish to be exposed to such materials. Commercially available
parental control protections (such as computer hardware, software,
or filtering services) may assist you in limiting access to
material that is harmful to minors.
By using and/or viewing this site you represent and warrant
under penalty of perjury the following:
A) That you are an adult, at least 18-years of age (21-years
old in AL, MS, NE, WY, and any other location where 18 is
not the age of majority).
B) That you will not permit any person(s) under 18-years of
age (21-years old in AL, MS, NE, WY, and any other location
where 18 is not the age of majority) to have access to any
of the materials contained within this Site.
C) That you understand that when you gain access to this site,
you will be exposed to visual images, verbal descriptions
and audio sounds of a sexually oriented, frankly erotic nature,
which may include graphic visual depictions and descriptions
of nudity and sexual activity. You are voluntarily choosing
to do so, because you want to view, read and/or hear the various
materials which are available, for your own personal enjoyment,
information and/or education. Your choice is a manifestation
of your interest in sexual matters which, you believe, is
both healthy and normal and which, in your experience, is
generally shared by average adults in your community. You
further represent and warrant that you are familiar with the
standards in your community regarding the acceptance of such
sexually oriented materials, and the materials you expect
to encounter are within those standards. In your judgment,
the average adult in your community accepts the consumption
of such materials by willing adults in circumstances such
as this which offer reasonable insulation from the materials
for minors and unwilling adults, and will not find such materials
to appeal to a prurient interest or to be patently offensive.
D) That you further represent and warrant that you have not
notified any governmental agency, including the U.S. postal
service, that you do not wish to receive sexually oriented
material.
E) That you represent and warrant that you have not and will
