When it comes down to it, the 18+ portion of this website is actually about making interactive, personal connections; or in other words, real-world, socially responsible hook-ups. How the term “hook-up” applies to you is understandably comparative, especially since there's more than just Chat and Personals on here.

But in an online world where everything is just a click away, we have to be honest with ourselves about the one thing that most people want when wandering the dimly-lit hallways of the Internet and that’s S-E-X. So to safeguard the masses, we undertook TheRedLightLounge.com to educate you, its meandering bedfellows, on the relative reality of your own behavioral risk—giving you a taste for the tithing, without actually burning you by the “bare”, red bulb.

Now we realize that for some even holding membership in TheRedLightLounge.com carries with it its own impulsive urge to play unprepared (or uncovered); so, for the record, this website, by no means, gives you the green light to act purely on pleasure. Rather, in creating this site, we’ve opened up a dialogue—or lounge, if you will— where everyone, regardless of risk or status, can engage their potential partner(s)in healthy discussions on: sex, HIV, disclosure, barebacking, STD/Is, ethics, behavior, previous partner history, etc.— before playing.

Remember, just because you may think you’re “safe” (HIV-negative, etc.) and/or your partner is too, without an outright discussion (or test) to prove your case, someone might wind up getting burned by HIV, an STD/I or worse yet, forever hypnotized by your own hormones.

Play safe to play responsibly.
