An overwhelming urge to consume pornography has taken a hold of your life.

Background of Pornography in Missouri
Is Porn Legal in Missouri?
Pornography is legal in Missouri.
However, the state has taken one of the most firm stances regarding legal age assurance in the United States.
In April of 2025, Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey indicated that MO will not only require that commercial pornography apps and websites verify user age as soon as a session is initiated, but that all identifying data must be deleted by the provider immediately after age verification takes place. Any subsequent attempts to access the same pornographic app/website (or any other) after the initial session will also be met with the requirement to upload proof of state-issued identification. This new law helps ensure that underage residents are not exposed to adult content through otherwise innocent online browsing experiences.
