xHamster's College Guide
Dear First Year Students:
We need to have a word with you about sex, and porn. In the past month, we’ve seen a dramatic uptick in visits from college towns, as newly minted 18 year olds, liberated from parental monitoring and ready for adulting, log on to our site.
A 67% increase in new visits from Chapel Hill. A 52% increase at State College. Goooo team!
Not so fast.
It turns out that half of you haven’t had any formal sex education at all. And the ones who were lucky enough to have someone explain the very basics of anatomy and reproduction? Three-quarters of you received only messages on abstinence. That’s INSANE.
How the hell are you supposed to understand what’s going on on this site? How can you understand even basic issues like pubic hair and condoms, let alone consent, BDSM and user-uploaded granny videos. And yet, that’s what you’re expecting us to teach you. I realize that most of you think you can handle it, that you know plenty about sex from friends, and the internet, and can just Google the rest.
But we have to tell you, you know far less than you need. Imagine if your school district cancelled Driver’s Ed, and had you watch The Fast and the Furious instead. Well, we’re not giving you the keys just yet.
We know we can’t fully stop you — you’re Generation VPN, after all, and we believe you have a right to not have to disclose personal information to us. We also know we’re not sex educators. (Although, we’ve took a stab at it with The Box.)
But we’d be remiss if we didn’t at least issue some basic guidelines for understanding what you’ see here.
Just remember: sex is fun. Sex is exciting. But sex is a skill to learn. All the WikiHows in the world can’t teach you to do it well. That takes communication, practice and enthusiastic consent — and conversations with educators.
Unlike your high school, your university is likely filled with resources about sex and sexuality. So before you log-on here again, we want you to go to the University Clinic. Go to The Box. Go to the LGBT Center. Go to Sex Week lectures. Go to Planned Parenthood.
Come back to us when you’re ready for a graduate course.

The face of xHamster and xHamster is a world wide site, not an american matter and if the site has issues I have a few of ways to warn reviewers, administrators and xHamster and I need to do it in a public way, not using private messages and a post like this one is a good place to sjow what a "dot com" site has to do before to talk of education, if the site is not working properly, what do you think about the education of the site owner?
You have to manage a site, not teen agers!
Got it?
Too many issues about the Beta version, even endless loops, do you know what's an "endless loop" in a software?
I'm tired to see yu're going elsewhere instead to stay around here!
You are the "first one" of a community!
The community doesn't care if the young people has a good sex education, the community cares if their profiles are full of "deleted", without a good reason.
Do you know?
xHamster is known as the "deleted site", cause "deleted" appears more times than the common logo!
Where are you living?
On Jupiter?
Last new :
the quick edit function on the profiles "about me" is not working properly, you have to use "profile/edit" to save some kind of updates, as the internal links of xHamster.
What do you think?
Perhaps some teen agers are not able to manage a cunt or a dick but a lot of them are able to manage HTML5!!!!!
I'm 60 years old and am still learning about sexuality.
Buena iniciativa, nosotros podemos ayudar si es en español.
