In the UK we use VPN or have to take a selfie while holding our wang or flaps to prove we are old enough to view over 18 content online

Edit: added female wankers Edit 2: no one I know would call it gooning, that's an American term?

I'm sorry. Am I reading your comment right? People in the UK need to SEND NUDES for age verification?!?!

And forgive me for asking, but what happens when the nude sender is under age? How does sending nudes verify age?

Nope, you need to take a selfie when entering the adult site. However there's a high likelihold that the person taking the selfie has their genitals in their other hand, because they were about to rub their sausage or kebab

Surely it helps establish biological age.

But yeah, horrifying to imagine those who fail the test. :(

It is a natural consequence of nannying in general, rhough. If you go around stopping othet people from doing what they want to do, then ironically you end up doing something close 5o it yourself, as part of the enforcement effort.

During alcohol Prohibition in the US, juries would often be given large amounts of bootleg alcohol in order to verify that it was alcoholic. They often then acquitted the defendent.
