Is there really any need for yet another prodomme directory in the UK..?

At this point in time, absolutely.

Recent changes in UK law regarding online material and internet restrictions have caused many websites to disappear behind onerous verification walls. Adult sites have experienced a massive drop in visitor numbers after implementing such practices. Others have just geo-blocked the UK entirely. Users are uncomfortable uploading images of driving licences and giving their phone number to access sites when they would prefer to keep a degree of anonymity. This is all perfectly understandable.

The effect of the recent changes has not only affected clients but has also impacted upon those offering services. Many users of the Adultwork site have reported big drops in trade since the site imposed stricter rules to comply with recent changes to UK law. On top of this the rules and guidelines regarding what exactly does and does not require age verification are rather vague and this in turn has lead to many sites removing public images for fear that they may violate the new laws. All in all the availability of material and information is diminishing in the public sphere, disappearing behind verification walls many are unwilling to sign up to.

In addition to the legal difficulties faced by online users both those searching for and those offering services must operate in a technological environment where users access to hardware, internet coverage, and services differ considerably. ProDommes is built with these issue in mind. All profiles are designed to look good and be navigable quickly and easily on laptops, tablets, and from mobile phones without any ads, pop-ups, cookies, or extraneous links.

The aim of this directory is to provide those offering services with a platform purpose built with their clients in mind. To index their content so it appears in relevant, regional searches, and to display a page that conveys their services while keeping the content vague enough so as to avoid the need for age verification requirements.
