Say I have created many ordinary websites which are not related to any dating/sexual content.

Are the rules and regulations for a developer the same when making a sex-related dating site?

I'm talking about a site where people meet together and get to know each other, with the intent of having a sexual relationship (you know what I mean), also featuring webcam sex, but not explicitly a porno site.

Do such sites have any special legal issues for developers compared with non-sexual/dating sites?
