How does porn make money?

    fflowley Don't just do something, stand there!

    So back to my original point: Did you pony up some moolah or find it for free?

    I mean, I don't know anything about this Teen Mom Farrah person, but I know something about rectal damage, and boy does she have it.

    Oh, and coming from someone who has worked at an adult superstore... You wouldn't believe the volume of people that still buy MAGAZINES, let alone DVDs. The place I worked at three years ago still sold old VHS tapes, and people bought them. Never underestimate the amount of people who are not on-line, or are still on dial-up. It's huge.

    There's always those folks out there who will pay to see their favorite performers. Even basically amateurs can and do make money. There's a bunch of amateurs on-line who either actively post clips on free sites or do not seek to have them removed. They leave them on with a link to their pay site hoping to get paying customers to visit their sites/store.

    Years ago I knew a county sheriff who made it his mission to arrest, shut down, publicly out and basically make a couple, Sandra and Kevin, who were running a home made porn site from their home as miserable as he could. I honestly think the sheriff was just jealous, his wife was more Rosanne Barr sans the tact then Sandra. Their site went by "Wifey's World," still does as far as I know. At the time, mid 90's, they were based in Clackamas County Oregon. They have since moved to Arizona. She is a stay at home wife and he was some mid level management type, though I doubt he works outside the home anymore. Back in the mid 90's they somehow ended up living in a $750,000 home they owned free and clear. They also had several expensive vehicles- cars, trucks, boats and I think a plane. I got the feeling they thought they could take in cash on-line and no one would notice... people noticed. They ended up getting things cleared up tax/business wise but their lives were so public they moved to Arizona. Even then the first few houses they tried to buy the neighbors protested and they ended up having an attorney buy a home for them anon. The last I heard their site was still up and they're still making money off it, she's well into her 40's and the main topic of the videos is always the same, her giving oral. But her fan base is loyal I guess and they pay. So they've been at it nearly 20 years and they're still in the money. Good for them if that makes them happy I say.

    But for every "Wifey" out there there's probably several thousand broke ass couples/young ladies with a web site and video camera who could make more waiting tables.

    As someone who works in the industry and has friends that work in the industry, I do wish people would stop thinking themselves so very clever for illegally downloading what provides a living for not just the cast but the crew as well.

    The porn industry is being destroyed by people who think it's fine to pirate a product (which is not free to make, by the way), and then those same people make fun of the movies they see today for being so low budget and cheesy.

    I would actually consider buying Playboy occasionally if they offered an edition that was "adult picture" free or to make it simpler just text only; they have some great interviews from the few I have read online somewhere.

    The last playboy I bought was the one that had Lindsay Logan in it. Still wish it had shown bush. (Uncle phil thought the same)

    I thought that was common knowledge. I paid for half of my grad school tuition writing parody screenplays and marketing material for the adult industry.

    Which explains the awesome instructions for your body switch in the other thread.
    Still haven't finished all the parameters for the config yet, the positioning mechanics are complex and sophisticated. ;)

    Who even downloads porn? Too many viruses/malware. There are dozens of sites where you can simply stream videos
