I've been afraid of that as I've gotten rid of a variety of anthologies of erotica. I guess now I have a policy for myself.
I do figure, though, that if I don't know that someone's under 18, I shouldn't worry about it too much. Generally speaking, unless they tell me, there's no way I could know. BookMooch doesn't, to my knowledge, have age verification of any sort (and why should it?) and doesn't check in any way to make sure people don't lie in their profiles. One needs a valid e-mail address, a valid mailing address and to carry through on sending the books one promises and to acknowledge receiving what one requests. Beyond that... There's no way to do it reasonably.
