Hmm, I know that's true in mainstream polite society of course, but is it also true in porn marketing? You still hear it a lot in hardcore, extreme, gonzo type contexts, and of course it's almost a term of endearment among a certain type of BDSM players -- especially the abject slavery types.
Don't get me wrong, I'd never expect to use these domains to market softcore or sweet nudes type of content, but it strikes me that they do have some substantial marketing power despite that. Of course, most of my work is in fetish niches, and I wouldn't have asked the question if I hadn't started wondering if I was missing something.
