Our responsibility as an online store
The Internet has a great appeal - especially for children and young people. We are aware of our responsibility as an online store and therefore consistently focus on the protection of minors.
At the same time, responsible education about sexuality is important to us. Because a reflective, healthy sexuality does not begin at 18. Our task is to find this balance - with respect, education and a clear commitment to the protection of minors.
Technical Age Verification and EU Digital Identity
Protecting minors is a central commitment for us – even in areas where no legal obligation yet exists. Our product range is erotic, but not pornographic. Nevertheless, we want to prevent minors from viewing erotic imagery.
To achieve this, our online store uses a two-step protection system featuring a blur effect. All images with erotic content are initially soft-blurred. Only after a free registration including date of birth do the images become fully visible. This ensures that only adults have unrestricted access to erotic material.
This measure is based on the current requirements of the EU Digital Services Act (DSA) and also prepares for the integration of the forthcoming EU Digital Identity Wallet, which will enable privacy-compliant age verification.
For users outside the European Union (such as in the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, or Australia), we plan to connect to nationally recognized age-verification providers – such as Yoti, Veriff, or Sumsub – in order to maintain a consistently high level of protection worldwide.
Our goal is to handle erotic content responsibly, transparently, and in full compliance with international standards – always with respect for every individual who visits our store.
