Adults Only. How do you insure friends are adults so the conversations and topics are appropriate?

Theres an easy way to avoid it.
Dont sext on the internet when you know you cannot prove who anyone is.

Who said anything about sexting... ? That was a legit question
@morgrum you are a typical 2nd poster in a thread - happens all the time.. no really ALL the time the second poster lacks tact and dare i say it empathy for a question and probably other people for that matter

Sorry i don't know the answer to your question Jim but had to come here and vent my observation of forum behaviour generally / worldwide..

You can't be too careful on tinternet everything considered - good luck Jim

I don't worry about it. If someone has a problem they can just unfriend. Noone is supposed to be using this stuff under age 13 anyway. It falls on their parents conscience if they are. Besides,,, if you have a problem with foul language or sex talk etc, you shouldn't be adding strangers on the internet lol. 

Well @Morgrum I was more thinking about having the ability to speak about complex issues that aren't suitable for children for instance marital challenges, and so on. I wasn't thinking of sexting. Funny how thats where your head went right away,,,lol

I should have been more informative in my post. In our marriage we are facing some serious issues. Not anything to do with our devotion and love for eachother, more the out of the blue genetic disorder she has contracted. I'd like to be able to have conversations with other married people that have been in a similarly difficult situation. The topic involves conversation I wouldn't want to expose to young people. I'd also like to be able to relax with people who understand...

Thanks for havin the third post covered @PIXELATED

Well, the thread is tagged with "VR Sex", so guessing sexting isn't really that surprising is it? :)

Agreed @kojack. I didn't go into an explanation because the topic is uncomfortable to discuss. But here you go. The side effects of Pemphigus Vulgaris are pretty tragic to include affecting the opportunity to have those kind of relations. So tell me how do I get the question answered without the uncomfortable explanations? I tagged the topics that would possibly be covered in conversation. To include the horrid pictures, conversation of sexual relations, and adults only conversations.

And what the hell, if I did want to talk VR Sex I wouldn't want a kid to see it; so the question is still valid. But apparently the Holier than thou, sharp shooting, smart ass culture is still prevalent as displayed in @Morgrum's comment made without simply inquiring for more information before taking the pretentious and uninformed high ground..

The question still remains; is there age restriction settings? If not, why the heck not? I sure as heck wouldn't want adults having access to my kids with this very private form of socializing... My kids won't have one of these until there is some way of limiting access to them, and setting parental controls.

What the immortal kojak said. ^^^^^^^^^^

Personally, I don't see the point of having virtual sex when you can have actual sex. It's a bit like paying for sex. Why pay for something that's free? I'm not suggesting that's what the OP is looking for. 

Although, he makes a brilliant point about adults gaining access to kids. Half the problem is, most parents haven't got a clue. They may know how to surf, use Windows and be a little computer savvy. But, kids know a lot more. The web has evolved and the parents don't realise this. The parents think they know the web because modems screeched to life when they first logged on. 

Oculus do have this in their terms of service:
So anybody using a rift should be at least 13 years old. Although that's still pretty young for various situations and there's no guarantee that anybody follows the license agreement.
Just jump into a game of Rec Room and you'll hear kids that are probably under that age.

The problem is there is no real way to verify someone's age over the internet, apart from watching a live video stream of them responding to you, and that is a whole legal can of worms (plus you'd have to reverify every time the headset is put on).
You can use EULAs like above, but nobody reads them anyway.
You can require a credit card to activate the account, but a kid could be using their parent's rift.
You could listen to their voice, but they might not be talking, could use an audio filter to pitch shift, use a sound board, etc.
You could require that the account owner needs to set up a parental lock, but that's not hard to get around and relies on the parents using good security (not just setting the pin code to 0000 or 1234).
Old games like the Leisure Suit Larry series used to ask questions that only an adult would know, like history or financial or something. But now we have google.

Oculus do have a pin code, but it just blocks purchases.


What you really need is a VR chat program that allows you to form private groups and kick anybody that you suspect is too young for the content being discussed. If someone in the group sounds like a kid, kick them.
I'm not sure if any current software does that (I don't use VR chat stuff).
