    Input. What are your thoughts about the word "Young" used in a domain name & site

    I notice several sites using the term "Young" in the domain name & site title.
    Just wondering what your thoughts are on it.. Is this acceptable or is it frowned upon?

    like youngteens.com, youngchicks.com, etc..

    I've always stayed away from using the term when doing site descriptions, titles & domains, however, today checking stats I found a hit from a keyphrase search with the term "Young", & I checked it as a domain & it is available, so I was wondering about acceptability of the term within the industry..

    I'm in the twink market, and I don't touch it with a, erm, 10 foot pole.

    Think of what they're saying: "Young teens".

    There's only 1 age that falls in the "teens" that's legal, and that's 18. "Young Teens" I think CLEARLY implies "younger than 18".

        Its what u put on your site that matters.

        But of course some terms are inappropriate. It depends on the combination of words. Young is opposite of Old, but youngteens is not good
        Most models in this industry are "young", so I can't see a general problem with it.

            I understand that completely. I guess it all boils down to the combination of terms, so, the example youngteens.com certainly would imply that, so maybe using this as an example isn't so good as the domain I was thinking of registering does contain the term young, but does not contain teen, teens, girls, boys, so, I am posting this to get a feel for animosity or acceptance of the term.. I don't want to acquire this domain if it is a frowned upon term.

              I agree with others, it can be a matter of context.

              "Young College Girls", "Young College Guys", things like that would pass the smell test I'd think.

                  no one has ever got in trouble because of a domain name as far as i know it just depends on how paranoid you are nothing else.

                        it's a fine line.

                        youngladies.com or youngpornstars.com is much, MUCH different than younggirls.com

                        Depending on the choice you make you may find it difficult to get the name hosted. And of course programs and processors that have taboo terms that wouldn't accept the traffic regardless of how many "18+ only" warnings you have on the site.
                        All the best to you

                          Young milfs... young retired people... young college grads... it all depends on where you use it and how.

                              The reason has nothing to do with laws, more that, eg youngteens.com, is pandering to a market which is dubious (what is a young teen? 13, 14, 15?)

                                  which is why, maybe teens was a bad example, though you are right
