Sexkey
 

User needs to add more info..

Hello Friends,

What do you think about sexkey? Is it safe? Did you end up getting spammed?

I've never had to use sexkey - but a website I want to view requires it.

Thanks

From what I understand sex key is a third party website that determines that you are an adult of age. A lot of adult websites use their service.
You can't get into their site until you have joined sex key.

But as I said, I don't want to spam my email. Plus they require a lot of private information.

Hopefully in the family of TFP somebody has already used this and can put my fears aside.

Sorry for being so vague.

pay... for... porn?

what is this, 1997?

I'd imagine if it's a common thing among many websites it's reliable, but I personally don't know. There's this wonderful invention called Bittorrent that solves all that nasty "paying for porn" issues.

If you're particularly interested in checking out this site but don't want to give them your info I'm sure you could find some sexkey passes floating around somewheres. Try asking on the request board.

Sage there's no cost involved.
Sex key could be used on TFP. I Goggled sex key and tons of sites use their service.
Somehow when used it keeps children from entering the site. Perhaps it just gives the site owners a legal front in the event of being sued by Ma and Pa.

I don't really want to use a floating pass key. I want my own. But before I submit my information I want to make sure that it doesn't get used incorrectly - either now or eventually down the road.

All I need is one member to tell me his experience.

From what I have been able to gather, there is a risk of unsolicited email, but not from the sexkey itself....the risk comes from the sites you use it for. If indeed you decide it is something you need....use a solid firewall after instillation, and set the guard to a reasonable level.

Just remember not every site is monitored for member protection like this one, and act accordingly.

See that's what I would think Tecoyah. But then again that's why I have spam email box's, ccleaner, zone alarm, spybot, adaware, norton and spyblaster etc.

I would still like to hear it from someone who actually has one.

I had it. It sucked a whole lot. Yes there are tons and tons of sites. With very little content, lots of popups, spyware, and a whole lot of junk mail. It's "free" in the sense that you don't have to pay a subscription fee, but it's not "free" in the sense that they automatically sign you up for a trial offer to another paysite that charges about $40/month. You have a three day trial period, and you can cancel at any time. I cancelled on the first day, the request took a few days, and I got billed for it. The site you want to see, I will almost guarantee that the content you see in the preview page is not far from being all that's there. This was my experience, YMMV.

I don't have one, but I would be particularly wary of giving out much personal information... what do they ask for anyway?
