If its just date of birth, January the first is already there. I'll just scroll down the year list.

If it's enter my age alone, I type in 90. It's closest to the enter.

And I am old enough, except well, according to professor farnsworth, ultra porn.

I used to lie about my age to watch it. Mainly porn videos (come on, we've all done it.) I sometimes type my actual age, but most of the time I can't be assed and just do it as quickly as I can.
Actually, I never did (watch porn videos). That stuff just never got me going. In fact, I've yet to find anything that does get me going, but that's a story for another time. And someone who cares.

As to the question, I never came across those at a time when I had to lie about my age, because I didn't have easy access to the internet until long after I was old enough to see anything, which is funny because my dad was the network manager for the local high school school (also their computer and business information teacher), so you would think a guy like that would have internet at home.
But no. That is also a story for another time.
And someone who cares.

So guys girls and small children I have a question for you! We are all familiar to the standard "Enter your age here" hoop that we all have to jump through to see certain stuff on this fine internets. I would like to know how often you type your actual age into these things? Do you tell the truth? Do you lie because you find it funny? Do you lie because you are not actually old enough to watch the pronz that the net offers? Do tell.
I generally tell the truth, but what's the point? Either way I'm able to watch it, why not keep it at default and change the year to 1900?

I was raised to know that liars aren't good people.
I think in this case it's not that serious. I mean, a 16 year old lying about his age to watch a sexually explicit video is normal, in my opinion. Most kids wouldn't wait until they're old enough, because the curiosity would be too much. Now, I know the right thing to do is wait until you're old enough, but at that age it's not the first thing that comes to mind. Hell, I saw my first porno when I was 11(my dad left his safe open one day).

Nice to see so many people admitting to breaking the law.

Should they not all be banned, Escapist staff?
When it comes to this, I'm not sure it's an actual law as compared to trying to use a fake ID at a bar in terms of illegality. I believe if it is actually a law, they'd have a better system in place. Granted, a better system would probably be quite difficult to develop. Granted, I'm not familiar with the inner workings of any legal system in a case such as this(lying about one's age to view mature content, whether it be sexual, violent, or what have you), so anything I say should be taken with a grain of salt.

Do I think the site is going to try to tag me with a tracking cookie?

If yes then lie

If no then truth. I wish Steam would stop asking me how old I am.

What pisses me off is how if I enter my real age, the next time I need to do it, it will ask again. However, if I accidentally click an age that is too young, I have to clear cookies because I won't be allowed to watch it. This is a huge problem with Steam and its trailers.

I got no reason to lie. I'm 28, I can watch whatever the hell I want.

Plus, I'm just an earnest sucker.
On the contrary, you still need a fake ID to rent ultra porn

The first couple times I saw one of those things I put in my real birth date. That got old fast though, so now I just leave it January first and pick some random year. I usually go back quite a way, because once I wasn't paying attention and accidentally put my birthday as Jan 1, 1997. That's especially dumb since I was actually 18 on Jan 1, 1997.

I've always found it entirely pointless to require a full date of birth to watch a video.

Just a year of birth would be sufficient - if you're borderline you'll no doubt put an earlier year anyway...

It's a 'tickbox' for the censors, that's all it is.

The only "Enter your age" thing I've seen recently have been from GameTrailers really... I might as well write the truth, seeing how I'm old enough, eh?

I'm 18, but I always say that I was born in 1902.
I do that too! I'm usually a 100 year old man very interested in the latest videogames.

Besides, I'm old enough to watch the videos, so I don't feel guilty about lying. It's much quicker that looking for my real birthday.

I don't have to lie, but I'm also to lazy to type in my real age, so according to the Internet I can be anywhere between 18 and 110 years old.
