ourhome2 is a privately owned and operated adult (18 years or older) "hobbying" community website with public forums visible to lurkers and to basic registered members.

Full access features and non-public and strictly private forums are available only to validated/verified members who are active participants in the hobby. Active, meaning at least occasional posts, threads, reviews, ads, etc.

"Silent" members are welcome but are liable to revert to a lurker status due to extended inactivity, and reduced accessibility and services.

All who register herein are advised that an "account withdrawal" request will result in that member's withdrawal of access but will not automatically delete anything from the site data base.

In fact, dozens, yes, dozens of web search engines have archived much of our community's posts, threads and photos. Deleting much of anything herein has little effect on web archives. Even long dead websites are still searchable.

Full active membership in this "hobbying" community requires confirmed in-person, person+person intimate adult activities and acceptance/tolerance for adult discussion, activities and images and hobbying activities.

All advertising requires the offer of in-person, intimate services.

Use of real names and information is discouraged. Your personal information is yours to lose. Always best if you have a "hobby email" account and a hobby cell phone, too.

Guard it!

Staff and management are not able to exercise extreme measures to protect members whose RW security is in jeopardy.

Only anonymized registrations are allowed; as far as GDPR/CCPA goes, OH2 follows the protocol outlined below:

Anonymous information, as '…information which does not relate to an identified or identifiable natural person or to personal data rendered anonymous in such a manner that the data subject is not or no longer identifiable'. The GDPR/CCPA do not apply to anonymized information.

All here must respect themselves and others. Companions and hobbyists are equal partners here. TROLLS are constant in the Hobbyverse, but are not tolerated in the OH2 community. Members clearly not here to hobby may be dismissed without recourse.

If this is your first visit, be sure to check out the FAQ by clicking the link above. You must register before you can post: click the register link above to proceed.

If you already exist in the hobbyverse, please use that handle here as well.

When our email registration is working properly (most of the time it is) you need to complete the registration via an email link that may land in your spam folder. Please add support@ourhome2.net to your hobby mail contacts to make registration processing flow smoothly. All registrations must be processed by the Support team before member activities may commence.

While most new registrations are processing properly; others may not complete fully.

If your registration is not confirmed, please be patient; do not register another handle. Multiple handles are considered serious issues and community violations. Contact Support to report issues.

When you are verified as a companion, or as a hobbyist, you will receive a direct notice via private message or email. You will also be required periodically to be re-vouched and re-verified.

The password retrieval tool may not always work properly either, and if not, please communicate that to support@ourhome2.net

We require that all fully active members here be verified properly. To do so:

Simply copy and paste the following into your new PM template and send it to verified members you know are able to vouch for you and include ck1942 in the To: address:

"please send ck1942 your endorsement that we have sessioned within the past 60 days and include me on the confirmation, please."

Otherwise, to start viewing messages, select the forum that you want to visit from the selection below.

The rule of thumb here is that if you post it, expect it to remain here. Staff will assist in making limited corrections; otherwise all posts may be yours to regret.

If you need to retrieve your user name or password, cut and paste this link into your browser: http://ourhome2.net/vb/login.php?do=login

The oh2 community is intended to be DRUG FREE. Any mention of illegal drugs can disqualify membership here.

Can't be the "go to" hot place for young tech workers when your girlfriend won't move here for fear of Handmaid's Tale results. I know several high income people with daughters/wives that have left Texas for this very reason. And tech will be at the forefront of that when workers can live almost anywhere there is an internet connection. There will be a lot of companies with Texas HQ that are HQ in name only, not bringing the jobs that used to exist with a HQ now that Zoom meetings are a thing.

You think women want to leave Austin because they can not get convenient abortions, is birth control really that difficult?
