Sex is fun, but safety is most important.

Sniffies and cruising culture has risen in popularity with 2024 being the most active year yet for users on the platform.

To kick off 2025, the spicy site is introducing key new features to make sure everyone is using the site responsibly. For example, Sniffies will now implement an enhanced ID verification that includes government ID checks, real-time facial verification, and blacklist validation to keep out bad actors while protecting user data.

The advanced ID-based age verification system will help create a safe, secure, and empowering digital environment for the cruising community. However, users don't have to worry about their private information being compromised. Sniffies promises to not store any personal data. Once the verification is complete on the updated software, all of the data shared except the user’s date of birth will be destroyed immediately.

If 2025 will be anything like 2024, then plenty of sexual shenanigans are bound to happen. Make sure you're being safe and protecting yourself at all times.
