Age Verification

The United Kingdom government recently introduced legislation requiring internet sites containing adult material to verify the age of their users.

Although SBG is not a commercial site, much of the content displayed here is of an adult nature. Therefore following this change, we have been looking into this matter in order to determine how to we can comply with these regulations.

A number of adult sites have responded to the legislation by blocking access to their sites by users within the United Kingdom. However, following the decision this week by the United States Supreme Court, opening the way for various states to effect legislation requiring adult verification, it appears that a requirement for adult verification will soon become the norm.

Therefore, please note that Sore Bottom Guys will shortly be installing technology requiring users to verify their ages.

Sore Bottom Guys is not a commercial enterprise, but a free to access site. We do not sell adult material, and full length adult videos etc. can not be downloaded or viewed directly on this site. Therefore, we have taken the view that a simple to use technology, which causes minimal inconvenience to our visitors, will be appropriate. However, we regret the inevitable inconvenience this will cause.

There will be a further update on this matter shortly.

Notice to visitors

It
is an unfortunate fact that our society appears to be entering an age
where, despite the popular narrative, puritanism and calls for
censorship are again on the rise. We are seeing an increasing
resistance to both Free Speech and free expression, which will not
only impact on people who say and do things we don’t like, but also
on those things which we want to say and do, which other people do
not like.
There
is a growing belief within society that anything which might give
offence must be eliminated, even when it is hidden behind content
warnings.
In
such an environment, sites like this, which cater to tastes which a
lot of people might find offensive are increasingly at risk. It is
beginning to appear that the most imminent threat is fading, however,
realistically, the threat will never go away.
In
the circumstance I am actively exploring alternative locations which
may be less vulnerable to the pressure for censorship than Blogger,
however, in the meantime, I intend to carry on as normal, and hope to
make a further posting at the weekend.
That
said, in case the worst does come to pass, would readers please
bookmark the address of the new JockSpank site at

can find information about Sore Bottomed Guys should this blog
suddenly disappear.
