Interesting that you brought this up. We?ve recently modified our business model, with a key mandate of returning to our roots.

We had our most success in 1999-2000, by gambling on relatively untapped ideas, repackaging them, and using our knowledge of adult marketing to make them successful. We single handedly brought things to mainstream porn that few had ever heard of. That was our edge- we did our research, and developed a product that mainstream didn?t understand, nor have faith in. Their reluctance to take us seriously helped us to avoid competition for a while. Now everybody and their brother has jumped on, with amusing results. No, we weren?t the first, but we did it best and will continue to do so. Our future plans involve returning to the same idea of perfecting tiny niches that others can?t be bothered with. We will continue to give our customers exactly what they are looking for with precision detail.

I firmly believe that the internet has made sex consumers more conscious of their needs. With the readily available supply of a vast array of stimulating material, horny surfers are learning what works for them and what does not. What might have been an unusual habit or attraction, is now a community as surfers learn to find each other and share information. ?I thought I was the only one? is something we hear daily from our customers.

Essentially, big is good; but community & interaction is better.
