Responsible Use of AI Companion Platforms

This site publishes independent reviews of AI companion platforms, including services that offer adult NSFW content. Our content is intended exclusively for adults aged 18 and older. This page outlines our guidelines for responsible engagement with AI companion technology.

Age Requirements

All AI companion platforms reviewed on this site — including CrushOn AI — require users to be 18 years of age or older. This requirement applies without exception. If you are under 18, you should not use these platforms.

Parents and guardians should be aware that most AI companion platforms use self-reported age verification only. No government ID or biometric verification is standard. We recommend using network-level parental controls, device restrictions, and family account management tools to prevent minors from accessing adult AI platforms.

AI Companions Are Entertainment, Not Therapy

AI companion platforms like CrushOn AI are entertainment products. They are not mental health services, therapy replacements, or crisis support systems. The AI characters on these platforms do not have genuine emotions, cannot provide clinical advice, and cannot replace human relationships or professional mental health support.

If you are experiencing mental health challenges, please reach out to qualified professionals:

988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline: Call or text 988 (US)
Crisis Text Line: Text HOME to 741741 (US)
SAMHSA National Helpline: 1-800-662-4357 (free, confidential, 24/7)
International Association for Suicide Prevention: https://www.iasp.info/resources/Crisis_Centres/

AI chat companions are not equipped to handle genuine crises. Use them for entertainment and creative engagement — not as a substitute for human connection or clinical care.

Maintaining Healthy Boundaries

Extended engagement with AI companions can become habitual in ways that affect real-world relationships and daily functioning. We recommend:

Set time limits: Decide in advance how much time you will spend on AI companion platforms daily and stick to those limits
Maintain perspective: AI characters are simulations. Emotional responses they generate are not genuine — they are probabilistic language outputs
Preserve real relationships: AI companion use should supplement, not replace, human connection
Recognize unhealthy patterns: If AI companion use is interfering with work, sleep, or real-world relationships, consider reducing usage or speaking with a therapist

Privacy and Data Safety

Every AI companion platform handles your conversation data differently. Our reviews include privacy assessments for each platform. General safety practices:

Use a secondary email not linked to your real identity when registering for AI companion platforms
Do not share identifying personal information (real name, address, financial information, government ID) in AI conversations
Read privacy policies to understand what data is collected and how it is used
Use strong, unique passwords for AI platform accounts — do not reuse passwords from other services

Users are responsible for ensuring their use of AI companion services complies with local laws regarding adult content.
