Responsible AI Use Guidelines

This site reviews adult AI companion platforms for users 18 and older. Using these platforms responsibly means understanding what they are, what they are not, and how to engage in ways that genuinely benefit you.

Age Requirements

All platforms reviewed on this site — including CrushOn AI and similar services — require users to be at least 18 years old. These platforms produce explicit adult content. The age verification on most platforms is self-reported only. Parents should use device parental controls and network filtering rather than relying on platform age gates.

If you are under 18: these platforms are not appropriate for you.

What AI Companions Actually Are

AI companions are software products using large language models to generate contextually appropriate text responses. They do not have genuine emotions, consciousness, or the ability to form real relationships. The AI character does not know you, miss you, or care about your wellbeing in any meaningful sense.

Understanding this clearly does not make these platforms less useful as entertainment or creative tools. It does help maintain the perspective that prevents unhealthy over-reliance on AI-mediated interaction.

Healthy Usage Patterns

• Use AI companions as entertainment and creative tools, not as substitutes for human relationships
• Set reasonable daily time limits — 30-90 minutes is a typical healthy range
• Maintain real-world social connections as your primary social structure
• Take breaks from the platform regularly
• If logging off creates anxiety or distress, consider whether that relationship has become disproportionate

Privacy Habits

AI companion platforms store conversation data. Protect yourself:

• Register with a secondary email not linked to your real identity
• Do not share home address, workplace, phone number, or financial information in conversations
• Review and limit app permissions to what you actively use

Mental Health Resources

If you are experiencing mental health difficulties, professional support is available and appropriate. AI companions are not designed for crisis support.
