Question
I wasn't sure who to ask about this so I came to you. I live in the sunny state of Florida. I want to sign up for a pornographic website but I am not sure if it is legal where I live. I don't want to get in trouble with the law or have my door kicked in by doing so. What is legal and illegal in regards to doing so in the state of Florida. Thanks. If you don't know, who could I contact?

Answer
Hi Jay,

Adult pornography is legal in the State of Florida. You can sign up for as many as you want. Its child pornography that is not legal and gets you in really big trouble.

You may want to read this before you do though:

And its illegal to show adult pornography to anyone under the age of 18.

Hope this answers your question. Be well.
