Take Lexxx's comment as a prime example... "Hope not. At least some decent girls should be left out there." Come on. It's not "decent" to look at porn?

I don't see where it's taboo for women to look at it or enjoy it, but I also do not send women running to their purses to pay for it either. Not at the newstands -- I would bet Playgirl and the like do 10% of the sales as comparable mens magazines.

Nor do I think there is anything wrong with women having sex, fucking, making love, riding the baloney pony, whatever you choose to call it.

Personally and from a business standpoint, I am DELIGHTED that men still think that porn is taboo -- if they didn't they sure as hell wouldn't be paying for it online like they do now. Gay men, maybe, but the fact is, if everyone was open about sex, had no problem with swingers, fetishes, fantasies and that sort of thing, there would be very little money in this business.

So far, nothing besides porn has consistently shown itself to be a viable product on the internet. I don't see non adult people getting rich, I see them getting pink slips and unemployment checks.

This discussion about porn for women has been going on for years, and no one has come up with a model that makes money like straight porn or gay porn FOR men.

Couples probably has a market, but to expect women to start looking at porn by themselves in droves and there to be big money, or even medium money in it, it's probably not going to happen in the next five years like it hasn't in the last five.

There's nothing wrong with that -- and there is no reason NOT to make sites for women, just do it with realistic expectations -- build a site that you would like and then see if other women like it, that's the only thing I can tell you about it.
