The age gate is the brief confirmation that opens this site; the house works only with people aged twenty-one or older, whether they are booking or being booked.
Anyone arriving at this site is asked first to confirm that they are twenty-one or older. The screen that asks is called the age gate. It is brief, it appears once per visit, and it reflects a line the house keeps well beyond the website itself.
The house sets its own threshold at twenty-one, higher than the general age of adulthood. It applies to clients: bookings are accepted only from people who have reached that age. It applies equally to the roster: every one of the forty-five therapists is twenty-one or older. The choice is deliberate. A slow, intimate booking in a private room asks for a certain settledness from both people present, and the house prefers to draw its line where that is more reliably found.
The gate is a statement, not an identity check. Clicking through is a confirmation of age, and the house relies on it as such. Where there is any doubt at the door, a therapist may ask, and a booking can be ended if the answer does not satisfy the rule. Nothing is recorded from the gate itself beyond what the site needs to remember that the visitor has passed it; the privacy page covers how the site handles data.
A booking made for another person, such as a partner or a guest, is still a booking for someone who must be twenty-one or older. The client who books is responsible for that, and a session arranged for anyone younger will not take place.
The age verification page states the position behind the gate in full, and the FAQ gathers the general questions about who the house serves.
