If only porn was as easy as doing softcore or hardcore, getting the right niche or the right numbers. Then all you programmers would be millionaires.

Porn is about delivering a fantasy and not a numbers, niche or catagory game. Lookat he porn and ask yourself if it arouses you, if you think the girl/boy wants to fuck you or is inviting you to join in. This is the essence of 99% of porn.

We sell softcore to the magazines and hardcore to the Internet, the magazines tried hardcore and it mostly did not work, yet the surfer wants hardcore. Both porn consumers yet different tastes, I would think a lot of it is down to the ages of the different groups of consumers.

But if you think moving to softcore on the Internet is the key to success, go for it because it will mean more sales to us. Producing a stiff dick with softcore content is harder than with hardcore content.

Some do it very well, Lightspeed is one, but for most it will not work.
