Question Hello, I answer questions in the category of 'Masturbation'. I get questions from both males and females. My concern is the age of the questioners. Your rules indicate that persons must be 13 or over to ask a question. I am getting more questioners who are between 13 and 18. I am very interested in your recommendation. I know many young people have sincere troubling questions in this category. Do you recomend that I answer all questions from those 13 and over, or that I reject all questions from those under age 18? Could there be legal issues? I am just trying to do the right thing. I will follow your recommendation. Thank you for this excellent service, and for the opportunity to help people.
Answer The law sets the age limit at 13 http://www.coppa.org/coppa.htm. However, we want all our experts to have a pleasant (worry-free) experience here. I get the impression that you would rest easier if you only responded to questions from adults, so I recommend that you stick to the over 18 limit. If you like, I can update your instructions to questioners so that it shows up in bold font?
