Today “Wikipedia for Porn – Carnalpedia.org” officially launches. This could potentially matter to you marketers and adult site owners as you are able to create and edit adult-related entries. So you know what to do. I verified this with Jeremy, the owner of Carnalpedia.org. Although, on a personal note: tread lightly here – if you spam too much you’ll kill this thing off before it even grows balls. Be sure to give truly valuable information in your writeups. Think for second before you hit the “publish” button.

There’s not a huge amount there yet but like all Wikis, this could potentially become big, fast. So go ahead and start your engines, err…entries.

Here’s the press release. Or go straight to Carnalpedia.org here.

“Wikipedia for Porn” Launches

After several months of development, the world’s largest sex encyclopedia is opening its door to the public. Carnalpedia is a free, peer-editable resource on sex, pornography and the adult industry that uses the Restricted to Adults website label to allows services like NetNanny to block access to those not of an appropriate age.

San Diego, Calif. June 4, 2009 — After several months of development Carnalpedia is opening its doors to the public. Built on MediaWiki, the same platform that powers Wikipedia, Carnalpedia is a free, peer-editable resource on all things sex and porn related.

After only a few weeks it is already home to over 120,000 articles, making it the largest online sex encyclopedia. Everyone, including adult companies, webmasters, porn stars and sex enthusiasts are invited to share their wealth of knowledge on the site, including the creation of pages for any products or services they would like to increase awareness of.

“The fact that Wikipedia has a certain type of audience leaves a lot of information about sex and the adult industry either blocked or censored. Having a wiki geared exclusively for the topic of sex, as well as having all the articles using the Restricted to Adults website labels, allows us a lot of latitude in what we can provide,” said site creator Jeremy Haddock.

The site allows images to be added only by authorized individuals from approved sources to ensure compliance with copyright law and the legal age of the models. All pages within Carnalpedia also carry the RTA label, which allows services like NetNanny to block access to those not of an appropriate age.
