What percentage of the population will buy porn?

[DVTimes]

What percentage do you think will buy porn?

Do you think its the same for each country?

What percentage do you think uses tube sites?

[papill0n]

[19teenporn]

63.97 percent.

[Stef.]

63.97 percent.

2009 stats, right? I don't think those from last year are available

[B.Barnato]

roughly 7.76%

[J. Falcon]

Anyone with a cock and a credit card.

[grumpy]

if they have acces to porn, they will buy it.

[drmadcat]

i never buy porn online only magazines

[Paul Markham]

It was always thought to be 2% of males in the US and UK. Looking at the retail sales figures of offline porn in both countries it's clear to see why they estimated it to be that.

2 UK mags were doing 600K a month. Add the rest and you see where the figures come from.

Today it's no where near that. 0.01% maybe. Absolutely no more than 0.05%.

[BAKO]

[My Pimp]

I would say 10 percent in central europe.

[Chosen]

[Sid70]

Free porn covers my needs... immature you say? I say self efficient!

[ArsewithClass]

I have guessed on a rough figure, 50% of guys & 10% of women probably will buy porn. Maybe 90% of guys and 30% of girls shall watch or at least have porn on while giving head to their fella

Well that is useful.

Thanks for your AMAZINGLY brilliant contributions.

[JamesGw]

Lower than it used to be, but I think it's much higher than a lot of people think. DVD sales have always been pretty damn good.

[drmadcat]

i dont know anybody that buys porn

[Trend]

Good luck accurately defining this one.

But here are some compiled stats:

Internet Pornography Statistics

New Scientist

[Kenny B!]

Just remember 65% of all stats are made up

[Scott McD]

Do you think its the same for each country?

Umm, nope...

[SomeCreep]

69%...........

[garce]

i dont know anybody that buys porn

Ask a few friends if you can see their cable TV bills and hotel receipts.

I know a lot of (ok, a few - I exaggerated) people who'll pay $10 for a PPV porn movie at a hotel or through their cable company that would never sign up for a porn site. Even if they can get the exact same movie - and 100's of others - at higher quality for $30 a month over the internet.

Shit, I can buy Naughty America videos through Rogers Cable for about ten bucks a pop. Rogers doesn't have 50 or so PPV porn videos and channels available out of the kindness of their hearts...

A LOT of people are willing to pay for a LOT of porn.

[ArsewithClass]

Well that is useful.

Thanks for your AMAZINGLY brilliant contributions.

And thankyou for your even more useful post

Given your goverment paid cant be bothered to work university degree intelligence, I would have expected a little more, but hey, you're Damian, what more could I have expected

Agreed, it must be bollocks Everyone I know has looked at porn at some point over the past year, whether a free tube, some google pics, membership to a website or a dvd, thats more than .05% of the population already

[HomerSimpson]

[BFT3K]

50% of the people make up half the population.

[AnimeFevers]

[D Ghost]

Great read

You can also use Google Trends to see which states are searching for what kind of porn.

Check out "tranny porn" you'll see some of the most "conservative states searching this the most. http://www.google.com/insights/searc...&geo=US&cmpt=q

So you are claiming you've got 30,919 friends and you've talked to them all about porn?

Sigh.

You are your lies, Gary...

[Paul Markham]

you are seriously basing this on magazine stats? good god....

And you base this on what info? Maybe the 1 in 1,000s who surf Tubes every day and actually buy something?

And today it's much much lower thanks to you guys giving it away for free.

2 people who flame someone who thinks about it and when don't.

As I said it was thought to be, this was prior to the Online porn business giving porn away for free.

The figure of 600K was based on ABC figures for UK Escort and Fiesta in the 90s. As these were 2 mags out of a total of over 20 in the UK, estimating a total magazine sale of 1 million is under estimating the figure. A bit over 50 million people in the UK, 25 million = 2% a very very conservative figure. Add those who bought videos or cable and not mags and 2% isn't even close to the real figure.

A decent video in the US would sell 10,000. Multiply that by a sales price of $40 and you have a figure of $400,000 for one title.

In 2000 Private printed 22,666,990 magazines and produced 311 titles. Assuming each video would sell 10,000 times in the US alone. 3,110,000 copies. In the US alone for just one company. All this comes from audited account of a corporation. Google some facts.

Maybe you would like to show something that shows how much online porn does.

Whoops, there's not so much data on that. Just massive amounts of people who don't buy squat. Because the brilliant online marketing and sales people thought the way to sell was to give it away.

A Everyone I know has looked at porn at some point over the past year, whether a free tube, some google pics, membership to a website or a dvd, thats more than .05% of the population already

This is the problem. We think the number of people who look at porn for free shows the number who buy porn.

With the massive numbers looking on a free Tube site and buying nothing I very much doubt if 1-5,000 today who want to look at porn actually buy porn.

[sojproductions]

buys porn: 0.02%, views tubes: 99.98%

[rayadp05]

Human beings will always enjoy sex...as well as engaging in masturbation. It is our natural and humanistic instinct. And with that being said....online porn will always be in high demand for the consumer.

And if you are a surfer that prefers FREE online porn, that is great....but the images and/or videos that you are jerking off too more than likely originated from an adult paysite so if you sign up...you will gain access to the ENTIRE collection instead of leeching around for the free content.

At least, that's my

As far as the exact percentage of people purchasing online porn, I really don't know...but it is high, I am sure.

[ArsewithClass]

So you are claiming you've got 30,919 friends and you've talked to them all about porn?

Sigh.

You are your lies, Gary...

You have seriously lost the plot & really do need to get over yourself


Me are my lies, like WTF

More people do watch free porn than purchase it, but there is still a huge amount of people that cant resist taking out their card for the instant hit, probably regretting it the next day or when their bill comes in, been there myself, it's human nature

[rayadp05]

And that is why adult paysites should update their sites with new and fresh content at least once per week...or twice per week. Believe me, those recurring memberships add up!
