But those numbers dwindle down into the 100's (maybe 10's) in porn

so every single time you watch any porn scene you will have to listen to the preaching of the glory of trojan condoms

or continually tell the viewers that they should be on a dating site and NOT watching your vids?


I just don't get it
I'm with you on this. While it might work in a very limited capacity, it will never be what it is in mainstream. Like you said the number of products is limited, but more importantly it is the number of viewers that matter. In order to make any real money off porn product placement you would have to be able to guarantee the advertiser a set number of views and that would be difficult to do.

I could see where studios like Vivid sign a contract to always use a specific lube or condom or toy in all of their videos, but unless they can guarantee a certain size audience it isn't going to bring them in much money.
