    Do you think gas prices being so high will drive sales?

    I tend to think yes. Men will be in more and looking for entertainment online.

    What do you think?

    I've seen this movie before.

    Kids are back in school, fathers spend more time online. New devices for christmas, more people online. Everyone goes away for summer, no one pays for porn because they're too busy boating and wakeboarding. No sales during NYE, Superbowl, Halloween, World Cup, etc. Sales boom on Valentines because people are lonely.

    Someone spending $14 more to fill up at the pump is not going to increase or decrease the sales on any individual site

        Americans are by far the world's heaviest consumers of gasoline, thanks to big cars, long driving distances and little public transportation in many areas, and rising gas prices have traditionally been political poison for U.S. leaders.

          At the start of the war, I saw a spike in sales like the start of past wars but things have tapered off for me. I'm hoping for growth though.

            If I need money for gas then I think I will skip any porn membership.
            There is plenty of free porn to survive for a while.

              If anything they'll tighten up their spending, so no.

                I have to agree. With the cost of everything going up and up, frivolous spending will get cut first. Things I had planned on replacing this year are on the back burner until who knows when.

                  I think it is more than the price of gas this time.

                    so many people don't understand that porn is not an expense. In the 21 years in porn, I've seen wars start and before the tubes, the wars meant a huge spike in porn sales. Porn is an impulse buy. When people are more stressed they need a way to relieve the added stress. No, I don't think porn memberships will spike because it's free everywhere... But Webcam and phone sex will continue to make money in stressful times. Like I said above feb 1st - 15th was the biggest billing period for CB in the last 6 mos by far. The war started feb 4th.

                    I've worked with the OP's Phone Sex company for 6 years as of this March and I've seen sales not fade during the pandemic because people need that release. It's like comfort food.

                      Our sales increased over the pandemic. I think we had a 300k increase over the year prior.

                      Covid was great for us! I'm hoping this goes the same way.

                          Frustration is also a reason for sexual desire.

                            If the gas price is high, they sure will spend more money on the net if they do not drive as normal

                                Adult is inelastic and goes up in times of crisis. In this new age of COVID and young kids not getting married/having kids, porn seems a very good bet.

                                  Yes I do BUT anxiety is also an issue. I think people are anxious to get past Covid this year. The problems in Uktraine, as long as they don't spill over into the West, should not be an issue.

                                      this is getting too common


                                      ok, i agree with onehunglo. When oil goes up, everything goes up, from baby products and food, electric, water, even rent, because everyone needs to cover their driving costs and the transportation

                                      you´ll get some boost, from those wanting to stay home and watch porn, but the family guy or the guy who travels to work, lives a healthy life style shopping, all this will take effect.

                                      but no need to panic, every guy still wants to wank and there´s enough guys wanting to wank over paid porn

                                        You guys have no faith in lonely men or men stuck in the house with wives and kids. =)

                                        This is amazing since 99% of you used to be young men and know what you dirty boys do.

                                          Discretionary budget will definitely go down, and porn is practically free, so I disagree.

                                              Stolen porn will benefit until the ad revenue begins to fail.

                                                We have to agree to disagree =)

                                                I had my biggest sales day in history this past Friday....maybe St Patrick's day had something to do with it? I dunno. But it was a bangin day.

                                                  I see both sides because porn sites have been dead for a decade-plus with everything free on tube sites but I also know your phone sex company is nothing like porn sites and you can't find it for free on tube sites.

                                                  You mentioned St Patrick's day and I just read that my hometown closed a block down and for the first time ever had green beer tents. It had the biggest turnout ever as far as beer sales. The last 2 years bars have been shut down on st Patrick's day. People wanted to get out and drink. People are still spending money, they are just skipping vacations because of gas prices.

                                                    as stated, discretionary spending will go down as people will have to spend more of their money on price increases exacerbated by higher gas prices, inflation, etc

                                                      This is amazing since 99% of you used to be young men and know what you dirty boys do.



                                                      But your jerking off is not on the back burner...unless you're over 45 =)
                                                      Hey!. I'm over 45 and I have no problem with rubbing one out.

                                                        Neither does my husband....but now it's once every week or two weeks opposed to once daily when he was in his early thirties.

                                                        Then again, I'm not in the shower with him...but I definitely know if he's taking longer than usual and I will almost always sneak in and scare the bejesus out of him. Gotta love a ruined orgasm

                                                          So have you checked the gas/oil prices in Russia and Europe.

                                                          Russia has 5 to 8 time cheaper prices


                                                          So who is having sanctions?
