SAN DIEGO, Calif. — After several months of development, Carnalpedia has launched, calling itself a "Wikipedia for Porn."
Built on MediaWiki, the same platform that powers Wikipedia, Carnalpedia is a free, peer-editable resource on all things sex and porn related.
After a soft-launch of only a few weeks the site already features 120,000 articles and claims to now be the largest online sex encyclopedia.
Contributions are welcome from adult companies, webmasters, porn stars and sex enthusiasts, sharing industry knowledge and history and creating pages for any products or services for which they would like to increase awareness.
"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."
The site 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. All pages within Carnalpedia also carry the RTA label, which allows services such as NetNanny to block access to those not of an appropriate age.
