The NSFW Puppy!
We like you, readers. And we certainly don't want you to get fired for reading an Outblush post with a picture that could be construed as NSFW. Solution? Whenever we have an item that's "Too hot for television," instead of a picture of the item, you'll see the NSFW Puppy* along with the phrase "NSFW" in the title of the post. That's how you'll know to scroll on by & remember to come back to it later when you're at home to see just how naughty that lingerie/sex toy/etc is.
*Outblush is not responsible for sudden cravings to adopt a itty-bitty kyoot puppeh.

Thank you, great idea, and much appreciated. Some of the racy V-Day stuff that popped up on my work laptop was like... ummm... oopsies! Thanks for being proactive.
Amanda
YAY! Great solution. I always have to sneak Outblush peeks when my officemate goes to the bathroom. :)
Ph0enix
Really? You're going to let ONE (public) comment from some idiot who remarked that she uses her WORK computer to surf your website reign you in?! Boo hoo! She saw something "inappropriate" while NOT doing her job. Grow some balls Outblush!
Kimberly
Ph0enix: I disagree. We all need breaks at work. As xkcd said, the code is compiling...
Alexandria
Ph0enix: it doesn't sound like they are going to omit any racy posts, just forewarn us. That way, people like you who want to see the racy posts can look as long as they like, and the rest of us who procrastinate at work can scroll on by. Everybody's happy!

I think it's a good idea. I look at Outblush at home and at work, and I teach high school.
Amanda
Wow, Ph0enix. How completely rude of you to call someone an idiot. Maybe you should check out some of the NSFW posts to release some of that pent up anger.
Librarian
Why stop with NSFW? I feel that some of the products featured on this website are just ridiculously outrageous. I mean who wears this trashy lingerie and uses these weird toys? I prefer to see more wholesome products like useful kitchen accessories and cute modest clothing. Sometimes I just want to gag when I see a scantly clad woman or a sinful sexual object. Get this site cleaned up. It's shameful!!!
js
HAHAHA Librarian! Funny that YOU should be talking about censorship! Start your own website!
Amy
Thanks, Outblush!
One Ring to Rule Them All
Yay! Overwhelming response is positive! So nice to walk in and see nice comments.
And @Ph0enix: It actually took us a lil while to decide to do this - we've been considering it for awhile. But we get a fair amount of these requests in our email inbox as well as in the comments, and we don't want to quit with the fun stuff. (so suck it Librarian! ;)
Librarian
@js: Censorship is sometimes necessary in these times we live. I actually follow many blogs that are much more modest than this one, but thanks to the comments and the wise owners of this site, they have realized that censorship can be a good thing to keep our eyes and minds clean.
So I for one am grateful to have a visual clue to steer me away from the sinful nature of the product. Now I can enjoy the fun products without fear.
Censorship forever, porn never.
Alex
Wow, well said Librarian. It is refreshing to hear a conservative voice in such a liberal world. I applaud Outblush for taking the right steps to make this website more conservative. To echo Librarian's comments, sometimes censorship is needed. You girls are doing a great job keeping the internet clean.
Liz
I for one appreciate Outblush for what it is. I don't want it to become some stuffy conservative blog. Sometimes those fun naughty posts make my day. Yeah, I said it. The humor here can be a little sarcastic, a little racy, and a little inappropriate - at times, not always. It's not a crude blog and the NSFW Puppy further proves that, just skip those posts and move on if you're offended.
Lilly
prude much? geesh! Can we get a vote on this. Not too keen on the censorship Outblush!
I have found great comfort seeing the topics and merchandise featured here. There are not many places on the web where I can browse awesome clothes, jewelry, gift ideas, sexy undergarments and the occasional (ever so useful miss Librarian) toy. Come on Outblush, show us them ta-tas and toys.
Janetor
@Lilly, we'll still be posting about that stuff (and won't be holding back in our write-ups of the items), we just won't use images of the products. Trust us, it's our mission to bring you ta-tas n' toys... Okay, yeah, and cute sweaters and spatulas, too.
Thanks for the support, all!
Marian the Contrarian
Sarcastic librarians and others: this is just about keeping readers from having to have uncomfortable little HR meetings. If you can't keep your mind as clean as you'd like it to be on your own, that is neither our problem nor our job.
Amy C
Oh, I'm so glad you guys did this! I love some of the NSFW posts, they just always came out of nowhere and always seemed to pop up when someone was walking up behind me in the office. I can't believe people are complaining about you censoring yourselves-would it be that hard for those who want to read the posts to click the link? I think not. I had just been getting ready to make a comment/send an email about this, so Thanks again!
pamela daley
Outblush is not censoring itself! Read the post, Gals! They are just giving those who need it an NSFW warning. There is no big deal.
As for Librarian: HAHAHAHA! I LOVE post-modern ironic humor!
