    Simple answer, no. You will find sites that have adult sections, but they are mostly about sex and porn, not adult discussion. These sites,even with "verification" is full of kids. Yahoo has considered it and they have no way to pay for it. First, there is no way to verify ages, so 13 year olds would still get in. Based on that alone, Yahoo doesn't want the liability.

    The only way to come close would be to require a valid credit card. That would limit some people and these days, many teenagers have their parent's card numbers. It would also cost Yahoo to do the verification. So the only option would be a pay site. Their studies have shown no one would buy in, at least not enough to pay for it. Bottom line, between liability and costs, Yahoo doesn't see the upside as a business option.

    You can find lists of sites at the reference.
