Yeah it is lol...well its the only way to at least make the attempt to address a valid concern.Lets not crucify someone for raising this issue ok...I'm not offended by it myself in any way but there are kids here and the only other option would be censorship.

Ever notice when you join most sites you have to agree to an agreement stating your age?It basically covers your ass legally if minors should join your site or view its content.Yet when you allow minors in and concerns are raised about adult content thenyou have problems that usually end with censorship and all the shouting in the world about freedoms and libertys won't change that.

So,being that these products don't violate any rosity TOS so long as there aren't images promoting them in an x-rated fashion...the matter must take another direction.Object all you want guys,but once a concern like this gets started you either take control and deal with it...or you give control to someone else to do it and then scream later because you disapprove.Censorship today is actually a hollow threat unless you do nothing when a valid concern like this is raised...then someone else will.

As for attracting kids...well,I don't think rotica's membership is overwhelmingly of the "minors" age group and yet everyone always says go to rotica every time an issue like this pops up.Just have an area for adult products that requires a seperate password and signing an agreement with no options for admittence if you're under 18...covers your butt quite nicely I think.

But,I really don't see a problem myself...just know exactly what will happen if you try to let a concern like this grow or just try to laugh it off and do nothing.

If the end goal of learning is genius...why are most geniuses failures at learning?
