We get it—when you’re browsing reviews for adult products like fuck machines, trust is everything. That’s why we’re starting with total transparency: this disclosure page is our way of pulling back the curtain on how we operate. As a team passionate about helping you find reliable, enjoyable gear, we use affiliate links in some of our content. This means if you click a link and make a purchase, we might earn a small commission—at no extra cost to you. It’s a win-win that keeps our site running, but we promise it never sways our honest opinions. Transparency builds real connections, and we’re committed to that because we value you as part of our community. Let’s dive into the details so you feel fully informed.
Our Affiliate Links Statement
Affiliate links are a simple way for us to earn from recommendations we genuinely believe in. Here’s how it works: When we link to a product (like a Hismith machine on Amazon), it’s often an affiliate link. If you buy through it, the retailer pays us a percentage of the sale—typically 5-20%, depending on the program. This doesn’t change the price you pay; it’s built into the retailer’s model. We only partner with affiliates for products we’ve researched or tested, ensuring they align with our focus on quality, safety, and value. Our goal? Help you discover great options while sustaining our free content. For more on how affiliates function, check the FTC’s overview (https://www.ftc.gov/business-guidance/resources/ftcs-endorsement-guides-what-people-are-asking).
FTC Compliance Notes
We’re all about following the rules to keep things fair and honest. The FTC’s Endorsement Guides require us to disclose any “material connection” like affiliates clearly and conspicuously, so you know when a recommendation might involve compensation (https://www.ftc.gov/business-guidance/resources/ftcs-endorsement-guides-what-people-are-asking). This means using unambiguous language right near the endorsement—no burying it in fine print.
“Disclosures must be clear and conspicuous… placed near the claims to which they relate.” – FTC Endorsement Guides (https://www.ftc.gov/business-guidance/resources/ftcs-endorsement-guides-what-people-are-asking).
We comply by labeling links with phrases like “affiliate link” or “#ad” in our content, ensuring they’re easy to spot on any device. This applies to all formats—reviews, videos, or social posts. For international users, similar standards apply under laws like the UK’s CAP Code or EU’s Unfair Commercial Practices Directive, emphasizing truthful advertising (https://www.asa.org.uk/codes-and-rulings/advertising-codes/non-broadcast-code.html). If you spot something unclear, let us know—we’re always improving.
Unbiased Reviews Assurance
Look, we’re real people just like you, and we’ve been in your shoes—sifting through biased hype to find the good stuff. That’s why our reviews stay unbiased, even with affiliates. We base everything on independent testing (like hands-on trials for thrust power or noise levels), user feedback from forums, and cross-referenced research from multiple sources. No brand pays us for positive spins; if a product falls short, we say so. For instance, we might praise a machine’s app controls but call out its battery life honestly. Our editorial team operates separately from affiliate decisions—aff links are added after reviews are written. This keeps our advice genuine, helping you make choices that truly fit your needs.
Trustworthiness Explanation
As folks who geek out over honest reviews, we want you to know we’re committed to fairness. Picture this: We test products in real scenarios, like running a machine for hours to check durability, without letting affiliate potential cloud our judgment. Our process? Independent evaluations first—drawing from expert sources, user data, and our own trials—then optional aff links if it earns our thumbs-up. This editorial independence means you get the straight scoop, not sales pitches. We’re proud to follow FTC standards because trust is earned, not assumed. If affiliates ever feel off, we disclose it upfront—after all, we’re here to help you enjoy safely and confidently.

No—we rate based on independent criteria like performance and safety first. Affiliates are secondary and never dictate opinions.

Yes, when balanced. Our process ensures honesty; #ad just means potential commission, not bias.
How do you handle negative reviews?
We publish them if accurate—helping you avoid duds builds trust more than hiding flaws.
