    I'm going to be running a store selling adult toys and things for the holidays. The site will not be pornographic, but the toys may be deems as such.

    Does google frown on this? Is that considered porn?

    They don't allow adult material, does what you're describing sound like adult material to you?

    Oh, I didn't know if it was adult "material" or porn.

    Thanks for the clarification.

    speedboats and cars are adult material as in typically only adults buy and use them. Google would have to be paranoid and caving to the more puratanical portions of America if it considered sexual toys and aids to be "porn". How about sexy lingeria sites? They have done fine right?

    Of course the best advice is to ask G yourself.

    Guess they are paranoid then... I am pretty sure any definition of adult content would include sex toys.

    When in doubt ask Google. I personally think that what you are selling is adult material but then again they might only be meaning pornografic images and such.
