Does a bikini site have to be 18+?
 

What's the legit story on this? Can you have 17 year old definitely non-nude or even overly suggestive bikini pictures on a paysite?

hmmm not sure. but i would think that you cannot sell anything with out the rights to it. no matter if they are of age or not.

no with a model release, etc

Probably non-nude modelling is legit, I suppose bikini as well if in a fashion presentation way, otherwise it may easily be considered as exploitation of minors, etc. which could draw heat, and therefore I'd stay away from anything under 18 y.o.

Stay away as far as you can from that

wouldnt touch it ever...

Its kinda wrong showing 18- in a pornsite whatsoever...

better safe than sorry.....definitely applies on that issue.



side note - hey Socks...are you going to Mardi Gras?

It's not unlawful yet.. but a senator is trying hard at the moment so maybe not for too long..

It would require parental consent on the releases I believe.

The big issue would be that none of the reputable processors will touch it.

Be very very careful with this area... while i may be legal, few CC processors will want your business, and anything even sexually suggestive might get you nailed.

There is only one way that I know of to legitimately display teen bikini photos, and it definitely does NOT involve any type of pay site. If you have a legitimate modelling site that contains portfolios of models, and the site is LEGITIMATELY promoting those models and their careers/websites, there should be no harm in having a teen model section where under-18 people can show their modelling photos.

Definitely no nudity allowed on those pages though.


I don't see why you'd want to put such photos inside a paysite. Paysites are considered "adult" and adult means over 18, at least to me anyway.

This has been a debate. It was on the TV couple months ago.. there are paysites of this sort and a senator promised to make this illegal.. meaning not illegal yet. These kinda sites claim to make good money which I kinda doubt cos how the hell are you going to promote it on a big scale when brokers wouldn't wanna risk or will have moral obligations sending traffic to such site unless ofcourse you get foreign webmasters to spam then again, it will cost more money to spam the shit than outcome.. I wouldn't think lots of people will want to PAY to watch non-nude pics/movies.

It's simply wrong.
It's sold as porn and not as fashion.
I don't want to make a dime on people that get a hardon from a 16 year old girl in a bikini.

Most CC procressors won't touch it, and the ones that will are violating Visa's rules on that, so they will simply lose their merchant account. Don't do it, simple as that.

I believe the only way that is kosher is if it's a candid public photo...but even then if the subject's age is in question as being under 18 I wouldn't touch it with a 40foot pole...

too many clearly 18+ hotties in bikinis out there to worry over 1 photo/model...

do you really want to chance it?

Putting any model under 18 on any site that men masturbate over seems pretty dubious to me. Regardless of how a site is set-up, if someone is making money because they are betting on the perve factor, then they are looking for trouble.

Do you want to be that guy?

I sure wouldn't do it thats for sure. But interestingly, you guys should see the catalog I saw the other day. It is from Delias:
http://www.delias.com/

I honestly couldn't believe parents would let girls wear some of the stuff in it. My opinion is that most of the girls in it were 15-16 although I suppose it is possible they are young looking 18 year olds. Way too skimpy for any girls under 18 to be wearing.

Flip thru the swimsuit section. The catalog is more risque than the site even, and I'd say the models in most of that swimwear are not 18 yet imho.

I think a site with models that scantily dressed needs to stick to girls who are 18 or older in my humble opinion. Maybe they are, but it doesn't look like it to me.

What do you guys think?

Yeah not a good idea in my book :2 cents:

:warning :warning :warning

As I said, there are lots of legitimate modelling sites that display portfolio samples of hundreds and even thousands of models. Teen models have the right to have their portfolio pics promoted just like any other model does, and that can and often does include swimsuit shots. There is nothing wrong with this, and these types of shots can be seen in any Sears catalogue.


So there ARE some exceptions here. But again, anything to do with an adult paysite or promoting underage teen pics simply for wanton lewdness is very much frowned upon by both industry and authorities, and rightly so.

Just wanted to clarify.

Exactly.

People need to realize age is just one of the factors in CP tests.

I believe http://www.lawrencewalters.com mentioned a 14 step test.

If it suggests anything sexual, the age will only be one thing that gets him nailed.

I dont understand how people can even question this.

Its simple.

So you are saying you won't have a hard on watching a 18 year old that looks 16? If so, you may need viagra. Also, I think you are judging everybody from the standard of your own. 16 is a legal age in MANY countries outside of USA (however, most countries won't allow any younger than 16 with exception). So people in those counties may jerk off looking at a 16 year old wiggling her ass as often as they like without being marked as pedos.

my :2 cents: ...why risk it?

Ask Jim from DenverPhoto...

ohhhh wait... He's spending the next 20 years or some shit prison....

but he did tell me it wasn't illegal...

You bet. Anything that even smacks of sexual exploitation where minors are concerned is running a foolish risk. I don't know why anyone would want to take that chance, or even think about it for that matter.




Seven -- it's legal for 16 yr olds in many countries to engage in consentual sex. It is NOT legal in most countries for people to display sexually suggestive images of those same teens though. Hey, I don't make up these rules, I just agree with and follow them.

YES, you CAN DO IT and YES YOU CAN GO TO PRISION.

Thanks but I do know the difference and I was talking about engaging in consensual sex as well as the display of it besides even if only the consensual sex is allowed that basically allows them to get a hard on watching 16 years old with see thru tops/no bras. Then again, there is the whole middleeast that will burn you for showing just a little bitty female skin regardless of age :winkwink: According to them, we are all just buncha perverts! So again lets not judge people from the standard of our own.

Yes you can ass long as they had everything covered there's no intent of porn..
You'd be walking on a thin line tho if you advertised it as "Girls To Beat Ya Meat Too" or something of the likes!
Or if it was on a paysite with Porn the intent would also be there...
It's like Nudest Mags, they have pix of every age but since there's no intent or Porn they get away with it, I myself would stay FAR away from it.....

If your name is calvin klein or teen beat magazine, then you can do it... because you have the $$ to pay lotsa lawyers

if you are doing internet sites, then stick with licensed 18+ content, even if it is only bikinis

Stay away.....oh and b.t.w. a model release signed by an 17 year
old is worthless......17 year olds cannot legally sign any binding
contracts.

DynaMite :2 cents:

CCBill will, at least I remember there used to be a bunch of non nude teen paysites on that.

far far far far far away

Heheheh.. I was curious for two reasons. I've seen model sites with no nudity and wonder if the girls are of age - I will no longer list any of that nature unless they say somewhere on their free tour that everything is 18+

Secondly, I've often wanted to get into some kind of east-indian porn site, because we have a wealth of girls here but I definitely don't want a brother or father declaring war on me! They take that shit seriously in their culture.. If I did a classy bikini site it might work though.. I'll make sure all the girls are over 18!!!
