I know whenever I get a boner, the first thing I think of is "gotta save the princess!"

"People can download stuff for free these days, so why the heck are they going to buy it?" You can record music off of the radio or download it off the internet, but that doesn't stop people from buying music CDs.

I don't think the porn industry has anything to worry about from the internet. The porn producers might have to produce a better qualify product. However, as long as females continue to ignore their femininity and the needs of their men, the porn industry will continue to flourish.

Since the porn industry has survived since the day God created a second woman, I suspect it will continue to find its niche in today's world. No offense to the religious community.

This is just wrong in so many ways.

Now I can come to tomshardware for my daily porn news.

"Aiden, who manages his wife Belladonna's website"....

I'm a very open minded person, and I never have any reason to show disrespect for another person's profession, whatever it may be.

At the same time, what's funny to me is the juxtaposition of this guy, who manages his wife's website, so most of the other couples out there who work together.

For most families, this would probably mean "I help my Wife update Etsy and Ebay".

For this guy it means "I help my wife Belladonna manage an aesthetically pleasing array of pictures and video of her being gang banged, gagged, doing double anal, being bukkake'ed by 8 black guys, and swallowing".

Maybe I'm just being naive. Maybe my dad helps my mom manage a similar site.

[citation][nom]omnimodis78[/nom]Any time I need to masturbate I just go to free sites and I am quite content with the 2-25 minutes of fun I get out of the free stuff. Are there really people out there who pay for porn on the internet?[/citation]

Ever since I started using PCs in the early 1990s I never saw the point in paying for porn or even renting it for that matter. I knew people who rented and a few bought because they liked the models on the net but I doubt they spent much.

And ya i'd agree with above about the chemistry. just watching a couple people play hide the sausage and not much else is kinda boring. must be a pretty lame job to have.

[citation][nom]falchard[/nom]I think there is a decline in the porn industry due to the amount of debauchery in today's society. Sex is no longer taboo when dressing like whores is acceptable, and may even be considered too clothed.[/citation]
You are on to something here. While I agree in part about our society, and the debauchery you speak of, I believe this article is addressing main stream porn, i.e. Vivid, Diabolic, Sudden Impact, etc.

It's the amatuer sites like Bangbros, Dare dorm, Yanks.com, Chicas Place, etc. that mimic that debauchery if you will in real life. The amatuer sites are biting into the mainstream revenue. People want to feed into that everyday debauchery, that you can't get with a standard studio fare.

Maybe MAVAV and the porn industry can combine resources and fight the spread of "...the most reckless endangerment of children today." I know you think the Mothers Against Videogame Addiction and Violence (MAVAV) could never be cooperative with Ron Jeremy and the like but the MAVAV advocate films. Read this "Video games are an inherently inferior medium to film and literature." The foundation of teamwork has been poured, they just need a unified voice to bring Blizzard to their knees.

I think Sarah Palin would be the perfect voice of MAVAV/PORN united. Near son in law Levi Johnston is in the business of video fornication and Sarah is a mother. Although Sarah does have a history of shooting things and that might be a sore spot for MAVAV. However if MAVAV's vetting is anything like John McCain's staff then maybe this small difference can be ignored.

WoW players are mostly people who dont get any, and are probably the most likely to watch porn. Hmm wonder why they would make such a claim.

 

[pochacco007]

porn is at a decline because there is nothing there that is valuable in terms of entertainment.

porn videos are more of a private event as opposed to a social event. you wouldn't be talking about a tori black scene with others publicly as opposed to talking publicly about avatar.

you can recommend and share movies with others and watch them in groups but you won't be doing that with a porn video.

i can't believe the porn industry tried to blame it on video games. i'm surprised they didn't blame it on movies. porn is pirated because the product offers little to no value for people. if there is little to no value of something to people, then there is no need to buy it. if there is no need to buy the product, then there is no need to spend money on the product because that person don't find it necessary.

think about adobe photoshop. no one in this site will ever pay a full price for an adobe photoshop. why? because it's useless for most of us. why, because we don't need it. this is why we pirate stuff.

when you pirate, it means the product has little value to the people or that people don't want to pay for it or that people are malicious. but it is often that the product has little to no value as the reason why people pirate. but the reality is that people assume they are malicious.

new super mario wii is still selling and there are plenty of youtube and the like videos and tutorials on how to hack and mod the wii. so how is it that new mario wii is still selling successfully even though everyone can hack and mod the wii? it's becaues there is a good amount of value in the software that people warrants it as a must have and pay for the game.

Maybe if the porn had less disgusting fat ass hairy men "fucking" the women I wouldn't hate it so much. What happened to just...sex?

Make some porno's that have just two people, enjoying personal time with each other.

Free sites have plenty to look at and after you get yours, WoW is still entertaining. As far as the comment by boredreader about WoW players not getting any. I've personally been interviewed by big heads at companies that admit to playing WoW nightly with their wife. My wife and I play and I still get plenty of bed time play from her. Most of our fellow guildies are married with kids. Kids come from somewhere. Get you facts strait. WoW is just another way to pass the time, just like watching TV, playing console games, playing/watching sports or even drinking. If they want to blame anything, blame technology in general for advancing to the level it is at now. We are not stuck in the 80's with our only option being magazines and VHS tapes anymore.

 

[CoryInJapan]

Nope its because Free internet porn is the real reason. Why make blame on anyone then yourselves for not working hard enough to make money...only real blame is free internet porn.

 

[jovela]

Well maybe with CES big push to 3D TVs, maybe the porn industry may revitalize?

[citation][nom]tacoslave[/nom]Ron jeremy is a fail. I lost all respect for him in 3 days.[/citation]
Since when was he a respectful person?

 

[zirex101]

So VHS killed the XXX theater... Then the Internet killed VHS sales for porn... And finally the Internet killed porn for profit all together because people can get it free (not to mention amatures are more interesting anyway)... Sounds like the capitalist system is working for me

 

[mlauzon76]

Well, maybe it's time for the porn industry to come together and create an adult-oritented MMO, along the lines of WoW or one of the many other fantasy- or scifi-themed MMOs, but don't make it like Second Life!

 

[Hilarion]

It just couldn't possibly be the fault of the crap that they have been producing now could it? They have to blame it on anybody/anything but themselves.

Sounds just like the financial barons saying it's not their astronomical pay and bonuses fueling behavior designed to increase it which was the problem helping to cause the financial collapse that we just suffered. It's someone/something else's fault instead.

Ron Jeremy needs to crawl back into whatever sex pit he crawled out of and get a life.

 

[Guest]

Why is he blaming games and not the multitudes of youtube-like porn sites that have popped up somewhat recently?

 

[Guest]

I found i played wow to suppress over active sexual feelings. Wow is very non sexual. In the end thats why i stopped playing. The repressed sexuallity in wow seems to spread a type of rudeness and uncaring attitude.
