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.

I also agree, Swinger based social communities are the only ones that will really work well. All the rest is just fluff and shit. Social networking sites are not made to model porn sites but where porn sites can use to get traffic from if used effectively.

It will be interesting to see if tubes evolve or if they stay stagnant the way paysites did.

Also, there is a huge difference between adult and mainstream when it comes to getting 1 million users quick. Can happen any time in mainstream, happens almost everyday, something new catches fire, goes viral and it explodes piratically over night. Whether it's groupon, linked in, facebook, twitter, etc or thousands of other smaller examples relatively speaking, but still large in general with millions of users.
That just doesn't happen in adult unless you send out 100 million spam emails and hope to get .0001% sign up. People just don't go viral with porn, who wants to email family, friends and co-workers about some new really cool porn site. First of all there has been very few or none very cool porn sites anyways, and even if they had been some people aren't going to go viral with it 1% as much as they would with the next mainstream gimmick.
