Im always hearing webmasters say that price and quality is what makes a surfer buy a membership to a site and, im sorry but thats bullshit. Surfers buy a membership to a paysite because they think one {or more} of the models in use on the tour is hot, nothing more, nothing less.

Price however, does have a major effect on paysite owners but, thats a different thread all together.

I'm torn on this post.

The thought that surfers are sitting at their computers with their dick-in-their-hand, credit-card-in-the-other has been around for a decade. I'm not sure if it's still that much a reality.

For one, porn's pretty much desaturated over the internet now. It's everywhere, easy to find and for those types of people who would sit at their computer with their dick-in-their-hand viciously waiting to jerk off, porn is readily available from google to find for free and jerk off to.

I'm not saying the theory doesn't still exist, but it just seems a bit off: If you're ready and willing to jerk, you'll do it at the drop of a hat, at the first thing that arouses you. There's enough free porn showing up in search results to accommodate that, and NOT paysites.

I have no numbers and could be talking out of my ass, but I think those that join paysites are looking for more of a dedicated path for delivery -- much like that dealer that's always available to deliver the goods that you want, when you want it. We all know there's thousands of shitty paysites that get tons of joins over hundreds of quality sites that get a ton fewer joins. The only reason is because the shitty sites somehow convinced the user they were the "better" dealer.
