I removed the website name because it's our policy not to have links to 18+ sites, as many of our users are under 18. Having that website name here would also not be respectful to our younger users, when your profile says you're 28.

We're not really the right people to ask about the status or legality of any website other than our own, because that's outside the service that we're able to provide. As general guidance, though, a site is likely to be legal if:
- all the people in its images and films were over the age of 18 when the image was taken, AND
- all the people in its images and films agreed to the image/film being taken, and agreed to the image/film being published.

A legitimate website will usually make clear on its website where it gets its images from. Where there's some element of fantasy and where the reality would have legal problems, a legitimate website will usually make clear somewhere that it's fantasy: for example, that all actors were actually over the age of 18.
