Go to a mainstream forum and ask how many of them are ex-adult webmasters or why they don't work in adult with adult affiliate programs.
You will get two main answers:
1. It's all available for free. Nobody pays for porn these days!
2. All adult programs shave like crazy.
I don't entirely agree with #2 but that is the perception the industry has largely built for itself- a reputation of cheating affiliates. Again, don't ask 12clicks or oldjeff go ask the affiliates themselves. I think most of the affiliates here will tell you the same thing too. But somehow the input from actual affiliates tends to get ignored in favor of the BROtalk. And that's another reason why you can't find affiliates. Treat people like shit and they will eventually leave.

I have no problems finding affiliates, but then again my definition of affiliate is probably different than yours is, like I require affiliates to actually be able to generate sales. Not throw up a gallery page, get a shitty ratio, then bitch and moan they are being shaved or the tubes have killed the industry.
Would like to stick around a play some more, but there is an Adirondack Chair on my deck that greatly requires my ass attached to it. Stop by again tomorrow, in the meantime, I suggest Desitin for a bunch of you
