You can find your state law on hazing here....

But lets assume for a moment that Hazing is illegal...which it seems to be. Does that means sites like mine cross the line? You sort of dogged the real question.
Don't make me haze you into giving an answer! :whip:

If you check the text of various states, you'll see that it basically deals in 'forced hazing' not hazing where the person being hazed has actually agreed to it. Its also worth noting that almost every description of what is illegal under the various state laws mentions somewhere 'forced' or 'coerced'.
Is your site forcing or coercing people in to being spanked? If not, then it isnt illegal, its that simple.

In the fantasy clips yes, of course they are being forced and coerced into being spanked and hazed...that is the fantasy of it all. Very few guys would pay to watch to guys that are into it spank each other.
In reality, they are all consenting adults...with safety words, fake tears in some cases, etc. Just like I assume the necro site has their safety words, etc. in use.
But lets go back for a moment about what you said earlier about sites that promote illegal activity giving the industry a bad name...
Wasn't sodomy illegal just a short while back? Hmm....
Not to be a pest...I am just curious where you draw the line...and why.

I think it's a delicate question and it really comes down to what a given webmaster is comfortable with. Ultimately, the Miller test is what the supreme court has (so far) decreed as the litmus test for obscenity. Now of course, the wackos in Texas decided that all dildos are obscene so state regulations may vary, but at the federal level, if you're talking about legalities, as long as you're within the bounds of the Miller test, your content should not be considered obscene.
The other question is what one as a webmaster is comfortable portraying in terms of his models, society, etc. We try to produce work that our models will be comfortable with and proud of, and we find that nearly all of our models are proud of the finished product that they're in. That's why, for example, we aren't comfortable producing pissing videos or scat or that sort of thing; not just because of obscenity concerns, but because, regardless of the willingness of the model to engage in it, we feel like it's degrading to ask someone to participate in that.
I'm not saying that it's wrong for others to produce that sort of work, and I also realize that some people will argue that the content we produce could be degrading... but we try to be guided by what we feel comfortable asking models to do as well as what we can legally produce while staying on the right side of the law.
