WOW! Looks very interesting!
We are not denying that it's the banks that are the problem. Last I checked, the money that my company generates is as green as the money as an non-adult company makes. It's just a shame that banks and companies that work with those banks, like Stripe, are making blanket statements that all adult related businesses are risk.

I agree. Why not? It doesn't make you any less respectable or a bad person. You might be surprised as to how much you like it!

It's not just porn sites that are classified as "high risk". Adult retailers are also put into that category.
We rarely get chargebacks. Maybe that's because we focus on a different kind of customer.

What details in the article are you referring to?
Unfortunately, we didn't have the same Stripe experience as Cindy Gallop. We were never given the chancee to explain that we are a different type of business.

You are rare because most men don't understand the first thing about a woman's pleasure.
Regardless, as an adult retailer, we don't have anything to do with porn or prostitution. Stripe and their bank shouldn't put all adult businesses into 1 box.
