Will mobile Porn ever take off in the states?

eventually, let cellphones advance...right now alot of people are still not getting broadband to their cell yet.

yes, as quality, capability and size of screen increases.....i say another 3 years

yea but the screen is so small you barely see the pussy good

screens get bigger, capacity gets higher, bandwidth get better... we are on the way...

Agreed, but I think we'll see it sooner than 3 years. That sector seems to be moving pretty fast...although not nearly as fast as in parts of Asia.

:/

Mobile dating I think can be huge, mobile porn I think will be a complementary product/service along adult sites in my opinion (like a membership to a porn site will get you access to cellular porn as well). As a standalone product, I don't see the demand happening.

I guess we'll all wind up with something between the size of a cellphone and a laptop soon.

I can't see it taking off... I just can't.

In the traditional sense of using a cell phone to watch movies and images of porn, no, it never will.

i doubt for porn but it would definetly work for cams guys would buy at the bar the office etc $2 a min just like when they hang out looking at strippers, it's not too creepy, a guy whacking off to a cell fone or ipod is creepy lol..but a few guys choosing the hottest cam girl on a list and wanting to see her tits fully nude with an easy bill to fone option is gold and screen size wont matter too much like with porn as long as its stable.

I don't see it for quite a spell - We're years upon years behind other countries in even the ability of AIM/ICQ, SMS, and other tools.

The iPod will grow up and engulf the phone, first.. as we saw, the converse failed.

yeah it will am sure,that market is expanding preety fast!

nah people lose and share their phones to easily

I agree with WiredGuy

Nah 3 years is right.

Just because technology advances doesn't mean everyone just junks their existing and runs out to buy new cell phone. So there is a lag.

It would be great if you could bill for it via premium sms too, but that's illegal in the states right now.

Well speaking from experience Mobile Porn is a money maker.
Textbill specialises in delivery of porn to the phone and billing for it via SMS(where available) and by credit card.

Wiredguy has hit the nail on the head with regards to mobile porn being a complementary service on Adult Web Sites, for your $29.99 per month you also get $50.00 of free porn delivered to your mobile. Actual cost to the Webmaster to deliver the porn is about $0.15 globally. Simply add a WAP shopping basket to your site where the user chooses his $50 worth of porn, we then send him a WAP link to his phone with the links to the porn he has chosen for him to download.

Babymaker makes a good point and currently this is growing in Europe now. We have clients delivering Web Cam Girl feed direct to mobile and billing again by CC and by SMS(where suitable Adult Short Codes are available-not the US) and they are growing month on month. The buyers of webcam girls on mobile are global as against just in Europe.

With regard to what Greg has said, yes US Webmasters can bill via SMS but only for clients in Europe. Really the only decent revenues come from the UK and Germany. You can have HT Access time limited so people can pay by phone to try the site and hopefully convert to cc billing with your preferred biller.

Another growing service is VOD by SMS, for an idea of what it is like go here:

This is a great service for an alternative to cc billing for VOD.

The advantages of delivering to the mobile phone is the database creation, every user that you deliver to you can through our system market your services to them with updates, alerts etc... for about $0.10 per user. every one has a porn email address but very few people have a porn mobile so your connection with them as clients is quite solid.

When a client pays by sms to enter your site there are no chargebacks. Again SMS is really only useful for your UK and German clients.

Drawbacks for using SMS as a payment function:
On a £1.50 SMS the payout is £0.80 and on a £5.00 SMS the payout is £3.00, the reason for this is the Carriers take a big chunk and tax is taken out too.
For all the SMS Billing you do in month one will not be paid out from the carriers till the 2nd week of month three. We take about £0.07 on a £1.50 SMS and about £0.12 on a £5.00 SMS

Finally, it will be you guys that drive the mobile porn industry. The people currently in Mobile Porn are not promoting the services on the internet anywhere near as effectively as you guys do. They promote MoBile Internet which is very poor and diificult use. You guys are the experienced ones in driving traffic, promoting niche services and collecting the winnings.
Remember you guys are the ones who will win in mobile if you choose to do this.

Mobile porn is not bad thing.I watched some movies at cell phone and i can tell you feeling is same like on monitor or tv.

Mobile Porn is a money maker

The other mobile thread has much more to offer, in my opinion.

I think this is the only good thing about it. iF you can bill SMS for it. if not then it wont fly in the states..

There is money in the there phone pornopete and the value of the databases you can collect is ecellent as well

i don't think it will take off , for the novelty factor it might generate some cash at first , but it will soon die off , the screens are just way to small for any viewing pleasure

mobile is making a killing as we speak in europe, and will be making a killing here in the US very very soon... you will see some big things in the next 6 months (especially from us)

the size of the screen is not really an issue... it's all about convenience and the power/abillity to get the porn whenever and whereever you want.

most surfers look at porn during their lunch break using their biz internet and computer... now imagine if its mobile... the abillity to take the porn with you to the bathroom...

Moble Porn in the US will lead to guys getting busted for jerking off in public places

thats a bit like standing in a church on sunday and asking the crowd if there is a god. everyone here has an interest in hoping/wanting/believing that it will.

I agree with Charles, as a paysite model I don't see mobile consumption taking off - this is not Europe, and North America likes things big - I say put your money into content sites with downloads for TV viewing on your HDTV big screen - and as Charles said, mobile porn will remain an ancillary product in the US/Canada.

There are things people will purchase on their phone, but I don't think it is going to be traditional porn content...

I bet it takes off in a 2 or 3 years...

It is a novelty factor, there may be a bit of money, nothing big, people watch porn in the comfort of there own home or hotel, if they are at home they are going to watch it on there 40" lcd. Besides the new laptops are getting smaller and lighter, this is how people will watch porn on the go if they choose to.

You should already be in the mobile game!!!!!
