My JAV History: Early Memories and On

I revisit my JAV roots with the first videos and actresses I saw way back in the day. Going from the early 2000’s with actresses Sakura, to the late 2000’s with Yuma Asami, and closing out with Iori Kogawa in the mid 2010’s.

Age Verification

To comply with legal requirements in specific countries and states, you’ll need to verify your age to continue.

To find out more please visit Defend Online Privacy.

Verify your age by

Recently a number of US states and a few countries of note have enacted age verification requirements for adult sites. On the US front at least, legal experts both within and outside of our industry do not believe any will pass a constitutional test. However, since these laws currently are on the books and thus have the ability to be enforced, we are choosing to comply with them at this point in time.

ZENRA uses (and as an aside: 99% of the time a site says they have "teamed up" with so-and-so to provide random service, it really just means that like us, they're a business customer and nothing more) Bluecheck.me, a third party verification service, to perform this important task easy to install filtering software does infinitely better.

Information used in the verification process is not stored on our servers. Phone number and address verification is instant and uses database cross referencing (no calls, no SMS messages, nothing mailed to the address). ID verification takes about one minute and is performed 'blind' on Bluecheck's side where the ID is reviewed by someone unaware of what service the submitter is attempting to access.

Regardless of what method you choose, it costs you nothing, but does increase the cost of our operations in order to somehow make the internet a 'safer' place.
