**This is more copy from my personal website. This time, a barrier to my erotic literature (which is not yet hosted on my personal site) took on a life of its own. I found myself remembering what it was like to be too young to be looking for adult content and felt that the simple, “You’re too young. Go away.” message was inadequate. It turned into a conversation with the youth about sexuality and how, they weren’t simply wrong for being curious but, there might be healthier ways to approach the desire they were discovering in themselves.
If I’ve learned anything from my own experiences with the internet, it’s that those “Are you over 18?” buttons aren’t really doing much to prevent anyone from accessing adult content. The kids are smarter than most of the adults in the tech space. So, instead of outright scolding them, I chose a different approach. I’m curious about your thoughts. Please, leave a comment if you have an opinion.**
Adults Only Beyond This Point
By following any link from this page you consent that you are of legal age to consume adult content.
There's no rush. Maturity is earned slowly. You'll know when you're really ready.
It won't align with some books, magazine articles, or conventions at all times. It will be your own true to life experience. You are not wrong for pursuing interests, potentially, running amock in your thought process. It truly is natural. However, in your bliss, you are scientifically blind to the ever present danger to you in that, sex is not something you find. It is something for consenting adults to experience, celebrate, and engage in, in order to lend emotional significance to a completely unique human experience.
Romance and Intimacy are strong drivers of the most passionate elements of Aphrodite's arts and the feminine sciences that is often overlooked in the modern content you possibly consume. Love is not the weakness. That fear of it, is. The commoditization of everything personal is also detrimental to our overall wellness but, especially with young adult civilians. Your body is more valuable than a following, a view count, or a dollar amount but, that's how the industry behaves.
You have never been afforded the luxury of witnessing consenting adults make love. It's either gasped at and hidden away from you, or its ritualized to submit women to their bodies, or it's sillified with parody and jokes to make sex seem like less than it is. All of which are designed to make you think that your body is undesirable.
That's why, once pornography became flooded with independent creators, the establishment couldn't keep pace with the demand for more intimacy, over the traditional approach to creating content.
That's why it all might still be confusing to you...and that's great!
If that's the case, you are definitely missing out on something much more important than sex.
Go do that.
If you find that you can't shake the urge to see it, trust me, I understand. I strongly suggest Erika Lust's website, ThePornConversation.com if you have any questions.
However, if you are authorized, you may proceed.

This is a necessary ongoing conversation that must be had. Exploration is vital and valid, but we also must keep in mind the changing landscape of the sexual area online. I view sex and sexuality with deep reverence, and find the scared in it. I just seem to lean more towards the erotic than the pornographic, but both have had a very important place in my journey. I look forward to more of your thoughts. Thank you for sharing ♥️
