Only one type of social network will work in straight adult in my opinion: swingers.

Anything else, the secrecy around porn consumption and sex in general makes it impossible to build a social graph around it. The men on the site also have very little in common other than the porn they consume. They will likely fear that the others are somehow strange or weird people, since they might think they are somewhat themselves.

It's not like you can build a social graph purely on a porn site, there are too many gaps in it at that point.

Again, with swingers, this will work in their group, no doubt.

Also, one remark. I am hearing more and more people complaining about spam on facebook, about how facebook filters updates to the people they think are interesting to you, how most updates you get are related to some kind of a product and not your friends.

Of course all this can be configured, but almost nobody will do so.

Social networks in my opinion have become the mailing list of the 21st century. Spam will take over soon.

I am however likely a bad example since I do not have a facebook account and will never have one. I have business social accounts, like linkedin, but thats the max I will go.
