April 10th: The bill has been vetoed!
April 2nd: The politicians in Arizona are about to sign into law a bill that would mandate sites like e621 to either impose age verification on all users or be at a risk of lawsuits. Such system would be required to go through third party vendors, who in turn must go through a government database to verify every user's age. This is not only a major violation of privacy, but it also opens up a very real danger of identity theft through phishing schemes and other methods, not to mention that we would not be able to control any of that information to make sure it is permanently deleted after age verification is complete.
Unfortunately, Arizona is the state out of which e621 operates, which means that this law will almost certainly affect us if it is to pass. If want to help us ensure that this site can continue to serve you without being required to know who you are, please ask the Arizona governor to veto this bill.
Please, help us get the word out by letting others know about this issue.
For some further information on what the bill does have a look at https://action.freespeechcoalition.com/bill/arizona-hb-2586/
We still have a Discord server, come talk to us!

MemberNow I'm confused, either Nicole is tight enough to cause suction to hold him in (not impossible considering her... Work out regiment in the show) or gumball has barbs we can't see...
That said, it's porn, doesn't need to make sense I guess xD

MemberActually, this is a real thing called 'penis captivus' (which, I know, sounds made-up.) Look it up

MemberHuh. Well you learn something new everyday. Even with porn.

MemberSounds like a spell from Harry Potter. "Penis, CAPTIVUS!"

BlockedI think this is the first time I’ve ever seen penis captivus in furry porn, I think there should be more of it because why not there’s already tons of knotting, let’s mix up the formula a little bit

MemberThe guy who wrote the article, David Mikkelson - I saw some of this other writings. He's unreliable.

Memberit is a real thing that can happen, though whether or not it is something that warrants it's own fancy name is debatable. instances are pretty rare, and almost all of then last for only a few minutes at most. basically a glorified muscle cramp.

MemberThat's one of the founders of Snopes. The current CEO of Snopes. Not saying he's infallible, but to broadly dismiss it with just 'I saw some of his other writings,' is jaw-droppingly ignorant.
I have followed up on the topic and it seems the Snopes article is correct in so far as there are no verifiable records of this having ever occurred, and that the major sources typically cited are fraudulent. That is not the same as saying it has never happened, or cannot happen. But at this point it is firmly in what Snopes defines as Legend status.

MemberThe entirety of Snopes is unreliable, worse so than wikipedia.
