Paul, you precious thing. Your extreme ignorance is almost endearing.

No yours is or you ignore the real figures.
All the figures Fabian quoted are for MANUFACTURERS or/and WHOLESALERS. Now think RETAIL. If PRO made $30 mill profit it was from advertising, the mags were more or less given away to the distributer/wholesalers who would of been W.H. Smiths and Menzies back then. Here's a clue number of adult mags published world wide x numbers of each title sold x price = AWESOME money.
Over and over again those who think the Adult Internet is the biggest thing in porn quote one end of the business. Ignoring retail. Yet include retail in the Internet calculations.
Think of the number of video titles produced in the US in a good year X the number of each title sold in a good year x the retail price. And that's just the US. Add EU, Asia, S. America, AU I don;t think Africa was ever a good market so ignore that. And even pirated in those days had to be bought. Unless you had a friend with 10 VHS player/recorders giving out free copies. LOL

It's growing in fringe markets and shrinking in it's main market. The new markets are often places we have problems billing and don't have the living standard.
Yes porn is a big entertainment media. But as the Alexa stats show its a free entertainment area for most. Including the emerging markets.
Which is why mainstream online is growing, so why are so many jumping ship and so many sites showing less traffic in the online porn world? Unless it's a free site. The ability to pay has nothing to do with the willingness to pay.

You are acting like a retarded person by not acknowledging these simple, obvious facts.
Perhaps you are an Idiot Savant? Dustin Hoffman's "Raymond"?
Paul, you IDIOT, I'm just going to post your quote again for effect (or is it spelled 'affect' in this usage? I don't feel like looking it up, so forgive me for the potential typo, ChristianXXX!!!):

At last a personal attack.
You're making assumptions based on what you see and not looking at the larger picture. Like Fabian you ignore the biggest money making part of the porn industry. The retail market. EVERY single paysite, Dating Site, Cam Site is a RETAIL company as well as production and publishing. Take out their sales to the general public and you have nothing. So you have to include the sales to the general public for the other sides of porn.
If you include online cams, you have to include offline sexline phones. 1 is just the new version of a 1-1 sex experience. Dating there is no offline equivalent as in those days we went out to meet girls or guys. Also a lot of Dating sites are a con. AFF stats are in free fall!!!!

...Paul, all signs point to internet = the future. Remember back in the 90's when the rest of us realized that?

I realised it and opened up selling online. Didn't see it replacing my offline porn income and for most decent shooters it never did. Unless they opened their own sites.
All signs point to falling traffic to paysites and rising traffic to free sites.
You could post some proof of the signs that more people are paying for porn. Because reading all the boards the signs are all the opposite.

Hahaha, this is awesome, I can't wait...
Paul, this is a big moment in your life! how will you handle it???

I have no idea. I'm a registered invalid as I'm not capable of much physical exertion. I tire very easily, need to sleep a lot. Cough a lot and often my throat backs up with phlegm produced in my stomach and intestines, that needs to be expelled. Usually by coughing it down. Also because of the loss of my saliva glands I need to constantly sip water and this means many trips to the toilet.
This is all due to the massive radiation treatment I had, which swelled my throat and made me unable to eat solids for over a year. Until recently was feeding myself by squirting prescribed liquid food into my stomach, direct via a tube into my stomach. All this has been documented and I've talked about it on here and even posted a picture.
Anyone who thinks physical capabilities is a sign of knowledge is a moron or prejudiced against people with a disability.
Personally I think I will shoot it from a sofa. I'm fine on the sofa.
