I am not sure it was ever true, despite what Paul Markham says. During a depression or recession, there is a lot less money in the economy for spending. Even if people buy drugs,booze,porn instead of food,housing,fuel,clothes,transport ..... there still is less a lot less money in the economy for spending.
Seems to me, the best we can hope for is that porn sales might not decrease as much as some other industries. But it's totally unrealistic to expect porn sales to shoot through the roof because more people are unemployed and have more free time and less money of course. It does not even make sense, really.
more free time does not necessarily mean more masturbation. you can only masturbate so much in one day.
I just spent $20 on sushi and beer. If sales dont come back in September, my diet will change to ramen noodles and tap water.
