Adultwork: big changes

[petercamford]

AW is reviewing its policies in the light of the Online Safety Act.  Over the coming weeks it will be purging all pictures in the girls' public gallery deleting and not allowing pictures that might give rise to sexual desires. So absolutely no nudity, no sexually stimulating poses whether clothed or not and no suggestive poses generally. So very few lingerie or half clothed pics. All that has to go in the private gallery. Also the text of the profile cannot suggest sex of any kind. So it has to be pretty anodine.  Be warned it will be happening to a profile near you !

[scutty brown]

have you got a source for this?

I am guessing the sps services that she provides such as owo and dfk will still be on her profile? 

[Cheltclient]

I saw this mentioned on an AW profile. Be interesting to see what this looks like. Might make it hard to decide who to book.

Yes this is happening and full nudes, genitalia, nipples, open leg poses etc will all go to private gallery,  we have made these changes on escortinghub already from March the 1st.

Profile descriptions will also have to change to be less porno and more factual, things like.... come and fuck my wet pussy/cunt....can't wait to get your cock in me/up my arse etc....jizz over my sexy hot tit's.... will all have to go

It's either that or the whole site goes behind an age verification barrier and pay wall

We have removed the porn thread, the trans porn thread and the ability for members to upload images from EH atm and are hoping the changes will keep us compliant,  sites that do not comply can face up to an 8 million pound fine if a complaint is leveled against the site and it's upheld.

Sounds like a ball ache for AW but may mean they sell more Private Gallery pictures.

What kind of pictures are you going to get away with on a public gallery? So no nudity but is it going to be quite strict on suggestive poses?

[puntingking]

This is pain aching and is disrupting adult content website functions. This is all because bloody parents can't keep their own damn kids off these sites

them magazines didn't do any kids any harm who had the pleasure in looking in one.

Many 14 year olds back then found themselves gazing in one, they turned out alright. In fact, you could say the kids of today are much worse than the kids back then.
 

[southcoastpunter]

how do you know that? You and me have no way of know what if any "harm" was done. But the point i was making was that its hard for parents to control what their kids look at online - especially as most kids are far more knowledgeable about technology platforms than parents.

[DastardlyDick]

I would contend that it's much easier to limit a child's ability to access porn sites - at home, put the computer where parents can see what they're up to and pull the plug if needed. Away from home, just install blockers on the little dear's phone. It's just laziness on the parent's part

Media will still be able to have lingerie etc but the best way to describe it is to think Kays or Littlewoods catalogue type images.

No more bent over kebab shots or close ups where you can see up the tunnel, either one  etc a G-string will be fine but not if she is bent over and you can see her starfish.

No more shots of cocks in cunts and no more fingers in places the sun don't shine. All of that will be in private galleries,  I'm not sure how they will deal with thumbnails from videos yet so that will be one to watch.

[Herts_Outcaller]

The golden age of punting is over.

Feels like a huge step backwards. Let men be horny and let women take advantage. Prohibition has never worked in any field.

Hopefully just a bra and panties front-on pic with no pouting, showing arse and a smile might be OK.

This bill is so prudish and stupid. Kids will still be able to access rude stuff if they want to. Maybe if AW required credit card details to log in, they could just carry on with adult content? I feel like although this would put off new members, this would protect the content for existing members that already trust the website

Or maybe another website will take over as the main one.

honestly, I'm devastated

I disagree it's not just about that it's the Puritans and extreme feminists that are insistent that all porn is harmful and that prostitution is rape, that we all need saving etc

 They are helping g to drive this and bringing it to fruition and using the harmful to kids angle to help their cause.

I do think adult content needs restrictions but I also think it needs better planning and technical measures to do that, I also belive we need to educate kids better on the safety aspects of adult content and sharing etc

Most of the harm done in the younger population is imo done away from porn and adult sites and is perpetrated through apps like Snapchat etc where kids are fooled into sharing intimate images and then blackmailed.

It's a whole spiders Web of interconnectedness and it's super difficult to sort out

That doesn’t sound as bad as I was thinking. Certainly less erotic and graphic, but a picture of an SP in lingerie will do the trick when thinking who to book. I’d prefer no changes but actually, not having seen an escort naked before a booking seems quite enticing. Build the anticipation. When it comes to services, if say OWO is ticked, that gives me what I need. I don’t need a narrative ‘please cum in my mouth!’ 😚

Hopefully, SP’s wil work on their PG’s and apply headings to their pictures (if you’re allowed to put ‘pussy pic) so you know what you’re getting and also ensure the prices are reasonable. Most  seem to be over £5 now which is a bit much if you were looking for a booking and potentially needing to purchase multiple PG’s. I suspect things will stay the same.

Again though, sounds like a ball ache for the site owners. If there’s the potential of large fines, it may prove difficult to police.

Kebab shots or Kebab shops , I've never seen anything like that in my local Kebab shop 
Kays or Littlewoods catalogue type shots, nowt wrong with that, it's how we used to get our wanking material many moons ago as a teenager

this isn't stopping or attempting to stop punting - lets keep things in context (fwiw i don't think it will stop many kids accessing nudes etc)

really? lets hope you never have anything in your life that really makes you devastated!

I’m inclined to agree. It does feel that places like AW are not really the main places of concern. I get the concept, and some of the intention, but I’m not sure these changes are going to make any real difference to online safety, as I’m not convinced sites like AW are causing much harm. Social media sites, in my opinion, are far more dangerous places. But they are businesses where money talks but that’s where the scrutiny should be.

Gosh I seem to remember when at school, the only time I saw a dirty mag was when someone had dumped one in an alleyway or field. A rumour would go around school and all the boys would be making their way to see if they could find it. We had no access to porn. I recall one friend at like the age of 13 nicking a porn mag, being chased by the owner, and then renting it out for 50p. Gosh, if you put that magazine under a flashlight it would have looked like a Jackson Pollock painting. True story. We were dirty fuckers but sex was a bit of a mystery!

I do also remember titillation coming from the underwear section of the Littlewoods catalogue. Or page three!

I suspect that in the early days, it will be an impact but then it will feel like things soften or the rules will loosen. Maybe not. But I remember something around porn access a while ago and it sounded like it would need credit cards to access. That never happened (or maybe it’s coming and I don’t realise)

[I like natural boobs]

I notice xkendallx has already altered the text at the top of her page from BigTitty Goth GF to BigTiddy Goth GF.
I aren't too worried about pictures not being able to show nudity in the regular gallery. I think the service provider will be able to still show pictures that are good enough for the customer to make a decision on whether to seek a booking. There are some very nice pictures on Adultwork that show no nudity or sexual poses.

[signy]

Random thoughts.

This will be tough on kids. They will now have to access the darkweb to get their porn and be exposed to some really nasty stuff.

Personally, I am reassured that I have a solid list of semi-regular or seen a few times escorts for whom I do not need a load of profile detail.

I don't need to see a load of photos of escorts naked. A bikini or underwear is quite sufficient. At my age, I know what a cunt or nipples look like.

How much will we be restricted in what we can put in emails to/from escorts. AW emails are already monitored and warning notices issued for certain keywords. Will be latter be increased in range? I suspect that details of meetings will be arranged far more through calls or texts.

You can still see nude images if you type "naked woman" in google images. Lets see if google change by July. 

[stampjones]

It wont make the slightest bit of difference to kids accessing porn. Its more about the puritan we dont want porn brigade.

Re AW etc, does anyone know if this mean the end of the services provided list?

[RandomGuy99]

It's gonna make AW profiles a little bland.

I guess VS will have to the same.

I wonder if they'll be an increase in small ads in the newsagent's window?

I hope it doesn't mean the end of the services provided list. That would be a pain for everyone, especially SP's. They understandably hate it when punters contact them to ask questions that are already answered on their page. If they aren't allowed to have a list of services displayed then people will have no choice but to ask unless a way around it can be thought up.

i don't know about that. possibly an increase of what once was a legal site may end up in the dark web instead.

When I was in my mid teens (over 70 years ago) one pf my principal sources of happiness was the front page of Reveille magazine. Not nudes. Just girls in not very revealing swimsuits.

Strictly it’s called a list of likes on AW, not services provided.  But it would be a nightmare for me if they had to remove that information, I am very services dependent when I choose a provider.

[anotherwoody69]

A genuine point as I have no clue to the answer or the legal ramifications.

If a site is based abroad, lets say outside the EU in one of the more accommodating countries, can they not simply ignore anything the UK says? It is after all the "world wide web" and sites can be viewed from anywhere and based anywhere.

Try suing a site based in say Uzbekistan, you've zero chance.

How does the UK police that?   

[puntingking]

so many questions unanswered yet that only time can answer.

Another question would be - Does that mean some parts of private gallery will be free or all would still be cost per view? 

I am already verified on aw so does that mean I won't be affected by the changes and can still view adult content without paying in anyway?

They could still ban that site to be viewed to uk Ip addresses I would assume

Or the UK ISPs could block the sites, but you could work around it.

It could have an interesting effect on the sex worker business. Time will tell.

[Doc Holliday]

It is only people accessing porn sites from IP addresses based in countries/states which have age restrictions to adult site. This includes the UK.

If the IP address you are using is not a UK one then the age restriction login page should not appear.

So use a VPN setup to make it look like you're outside the UK and thus have a non-UK IP address.

What are the implications for this site? UK Punting I mean. Surely the same applies here for images and text? Many reviews would qualify as textual pornography. I certainly aim for an erotica style.

I've seen some of the pictures that are currently being rejected. I think it's going to be the biggest headache to try to get a compliant, yet enticing profile.

Currently yes .. which is also what a significant number of under 18s will do. This is the flaw in the bill. Proponents want OFCOM to look at the effect of VPN use in the post July period when implemented and if there is any way they can legislate further? I cannot see how they could?

Absolutely ridiculous to claim an escort’s ad could really be “SFW”.

Some of the profiles highlighted in that post as being suitable include sentences like:

ANAL PLAY ❤️ BIG TITS ❤️ BIG ASS ❤️ JUICY LIPS ❤️ WET PUSSY

Beautiful 36D breasts that loves being played and looks gorgeous covered with spunk and a Fully functional cock that will make all your naughty dreams come true.

my Lovense toys which always makes me crazy horny as it makes them go off with a good buzz or fucking me. I always have my sex machine on and in a paid show we can also add my lush pussy vibrator, hush buttplug, gravity thrusting dildo or Domi wand that is used on my clit.

Sorry but this is not suitable for kids to be reading, if that’s the idea, and I think the law would require even these to be scaled back. There’s no way hundreds of thousands of members are going to have the time, the patience, the tact or whatever to censor their profiles so heavily. We’re going to see the majority of profiles disappear (or AW change strategy and put the whole site behind an age verification barrier)

Is there a VPN which is easy to switch on & off ?
My understanding is that VPNs slow connection speeds
So would be ideal to have one for our fave sport & not use on other stuff

Most VPNs have simple on/off toggles and you can choose which country you want to get an IP address from. People have been using them for years to access US versions of streaming services such as Netflix.

Yes, VPNs can slow your connection down, but it depends on how much internet traffic there is in the country you choose. If you choose a country where most people are in bed then it should go faster
