Why should I get age verified?
Age verification for both domme and sub is vital in findom. Sex work is for adults, and verifying that both parties are over 18 should happen early in your discussions with subs. Playing with minors can and should end with the adult going to jail, and verification of both parties puts that issue to rest.
Beyond the legalities, age verification keeps you out of corners of the internet you probably don’t want to visit. Without verification, the potential subs who contact you will often assume you are under age, and you may attract folks whose goal is trafficking minors. It’s best to steer clear of them, and verification lets them know that you are not what they’re looking for. It’s particularly important for those of you who look much younger than you are.
Something that isn’t discussed enough in the findom community is verification of subs. Just because your sub has a credit card doesn’t mean they’re over 18, and as I said earlier, playing with minors can end up with the adult going to jail. Protect yourself by checking that your sub is an adult.
A very common scam is to get a domme to move from a social media chat to Snapchat, Kik or Telegram, and persuade her to say things and send photos that are for adults only. Then, it’s revealed that the person she’s chatting with is a minor who has taken screen shots of the chat and photos. Unless the domme pays, the “minor” says they will go to the police. If you haven’t taken the time to verify who you’re speaking with, you leave yourself open to this kind of scam. Verification of both parties (and also not moving to another platform at the sub’s suggestion) will keep you safe from this type of scam.
Get verified. Play safely with other adults.
