Now the site is legit as far as I see and has been around for a while but it just seems they chose to use this phrase in the subject when mailing affiliates.

I worry that receiving email likes this possibly makes it look like I am linked to illegal activities. Perhaps to an automated filter or something like this.

Should legitimate sites and sponsors really be using this sort of phrase in the subject of their emails? I think it would be better to say "young women" or something along those lines.

Anyway I need to remove myself from the list of this program as I do no business with them in the first place. I'm not going to name them but just figured I'd bring it up in here perhaps to get others to consider this sort of thing when sending out affiliate emails and to see what others think. Do you have an issue receiving an email like this?
Maybe its the industry we work in that makes us interrogate the wordings of "girls" and "young" so much, but the older I get, the older "young" means to me.. Someone says that terminology to me, I now think of 18-22 year old girls.

But yeah, in adult biz, definitely poor choice of words to use.
