Two years ago, porn producer and director Colin Rowntree noticed a troubling trend while searching for smut online: “It became obvious that mainstream search engines were more and more pushing adult entertainment out of their listings in favor of safe-for-work links,” he says.
Sure, such filters come in handy when your kids are using the computer. But sometimes you don’t feel like sifting through pages of search results just to find a decent skin flick.
So Rowntree, like any good Samaritan already connected to the adult industry, set out to fix the problem. Enter Boodigo: a new, safe search engine that delivers results exclusively for adult entertainment sites including video hosting, traditional membership sites, porn star blogs, sex toy stores, and even access to the normally hidden adult listings on Tumblr.
