Purpose

There are literally thousands and thousands of adult sites on the Internet-ranging in quality from fly-by-night, rip-off sites to well thought out, ethical businesses. To the web surfer, there is little to distinguish the fly-by-night from the stable, and the rip-off from the ethical, yet the surfer's image of the entire industry will be formed based on which he or she encounters. Five Star Adult has as its purpose identifying quality. The Five Star Adult site lists only sites that meet its high ratings standards. Sites listed which subsequently no longer meet Five Star Adult's standards are removed.

Credibility

To insure that Five Star Adult maintains its own credibility as an evaluator, Five Star Adult accepts no advertising from any of the sites it has rated. It accepts no payment for the ranking order of sites on its list. The sites listed are displayed in a continually rotating order, so that each Five Star Adult rated site has an equal opportunity to head the list.
