I can't help but think a lot of surfers start to develop a desensitivity to it all - 'seen one...you've seen them all' mentality.

Alot of sites ARE cookie-cutter. The industry isn?t dying and it isn?t shrinking, its just stagnating. The reason for this is because its so damn hard to do something new here because everything has been done. I thought I had a truly original thought last night. I was goanna go to town. I did some searching on it. Its already been done.
I don?t think free porn has alot to do with the current state of affairs. Surfers are actually thinking about their purchases now and purchasing very carefully. As has been mentioned previously, its not enough to just fill them up with moves and stills, they want to be part of a community. This is especially true with the gay sites. We saw this first start to make itself evident when sites started including message boards and chat rooms. This wasn?t because the webmasters wanted to tell their surfers how much they were loved, it was webmasters capitalizing on the desire of surfers to buy into this community thing.
Porn is definitely not going to go away as long as the human species continues to exist.
