In a press release for the yet-to-be-launched site, Creative Director Justin Kerrihard explains that Social 18's goal 'is to give users an inviting, open platform to make new friends and share explicit materials.' Social 18 is slated to have many of the same functionalities as FB, IG, and Twitter, including 'like' functions, hashtags, private messaging, and individual user feeds. It remains to be seen who will sign up and if this new platform will catch on, but if anything, it's a welcome idea when faced with nipple bans on Facebook or pubic hair outcries on Instagram. Enter Social 18, the first adult social media platform designed for that special moment when you've just GOT to tag your BFF in a Pornhub clip featuring a goth girl threesome (or whatever it is that you're into). As useful as Facebook and Instagram are, however, their censorship policies makes sharing anything beyond PG-13 imagery pretty tough. Social media has undeniably transformed the ways we make and sustain relationships with our friends, lovers, and partners.
