PRWeb behind the times?

Saturday, December 29th, 2007 Danny Brown

With no pun intended, I came across a rather strange problem recently when acting on behalf of one of my clients, Together Pleasure, Inc, whose website icame.com offers advice on everything from relationships to sexual health and well-being. 

For distribution of the press releases I provide for my clients, I generally use PRWeb, since I find them to be amongst the best when it comes to service and flexibility. However, PRWeb deemed the press release for icame.com as “unsuitable”, due to their adult content policy. This policy states that all press releases must adhere to PG-rated guidelines, and this goes for the links to external websites.

Now, whilst I can understand this in order to protect links to porn websites, I find it strange that a medically approved sex education website could be classed as “unsuitable”. There are far more explicit pictures, stories and articles, etc, featured in newspapers, magazines and schoolbooks. With both Together Pleasure, Inc and icame.com promoting intimacy and relationship advice that brings loving couples together, the decision by PRWeb seems even stranger.

I raised this point with them, citing previous releases via PRWeb that were more explicit than my client’s, but PRWeb is adamant that the press release will not be released in its current form.  Considering that other distribution services that I use outside them have seen fit to distribute the release, again the decision by PRWeb seems a strange one.

Decide for yourself by reading the press release and subsequent links involved.
