publive-imageSAN DIEGO, USA: Are you in the lookout of all the juicy stuff and information on the Web? Or interested in the secret word of Porn Stars, Porn Films, Sex Positions, Sex Health, Sex Industry, Fetishes and much more?

If so, here is an open platform for you - Carnalpedia, which has opened its door to the public on June 4.

Built on MediaWiki, the same platform that powers Wikipedia, Carnalpedia is a free, peer-editable resource on all things sex and porn related, say the developers.

After only a few weeks it is already home to over 120,000 articles, making it the largest online sex encyclopedia, they claimed. As on June 5, there are 121,714 articles online, apart from images and graphics.

A press release from the developers said everyone, including adult companies, webmasters, porn stars and sex enthusiasts can share their wealth of knowledge on the site, including the creation of pages for any products or services they would like to increase awareness of.

"The fact that Wikipedia has a certain type of audience leaves a lot of information about sex and the adult industry either blocked or censored," said site creator Jeremy Haddock.

“Having a wiki geared exclusively for the topic of sex, as well as having all the articles using the Restricted to Adults website labels, allows us a lot of latitude in what we can provide,” he added.

Advertisment

Though the site is peer-editable, it doesn't allow unauthorized uploading of images, said the release. It allows images to be added only by authorized individuals from approved sources to ensure compliance with copyright law and the legal age of the models.

Also the pages within Carnalpedia also carry the RTA label, which allows services like NetNanny to block access to those not of an appropriate age.

Is it that the new-age porn queens would soon make the likes of Savitha Bhabhi a passé online?
