Free porn sites are more popular than ever and their traffic is not dropping. People are consuming MORE porn than ever before in the history of the world.

That is what my line of thought is. Obviously neither side (belief) has stats to back up their thoughts.
I do think 1 think is certain, that people are spending more time on social networking sites than they did in years past. HOWEVER, just because someone spends more time on social networking sites it does NOT mean they spend less time on porn sites. They could be spending less time watching tv (like you said) or less time playing outside, less time working, studying, whatever.
Here is my "Common sense" thoughts to why social networking sites DO NOT affect porn sales.
To assume people spend more time on social networking sites and therefore less time on porn sites, which decreases porn sales is to assume the following:
1. People on social networking sites now jerk off less and are less horny or
2. People are jerking off to content on facebook, etc. vs a porn site.
When there are sites out there with thousands of full length hardcore videos on them for free, I can't believe someone is going to bypass that and jerk off to a girl with clothes on, on facebook.
If people spend more time on facebook, less on porn sites ... IF, I still don't think it affects porn sales. People still jerk off as much, regardless if they spending more time on facebook or not lol. They need to go somewhere to jerkoff since facebook doesn't contain any nudity. Here is the problem.... the people on social networking sites are more up to date with the net and know about youporn so when they leave facebook to go jerk off, they not going to surf the net for porn and come across your site and pay to see your content. They go directly to youporn instead, see your content for free, yank it, then go back to facebook. So is socialnetworking sites really the problem here??
Please someone who disagrees, use some substance to your argument other than "yeah I think they do" and make me think otherwise if I am missing something here. Just tired of hearing people say they believe this but don't back it up with any reasons why.
