Promoting BDSM on mainstream sites - GoFuckYourself.com

Yesterday I found a mainstream site that had a popunder for Alt.com (AFF's BDSM dating site.) I e-mailed the guy, he said it paid the bills

Makes Sense.

Here's a tip about the transferability of some Adult products and services into the Mainstream:

If you can defend its right to exist, as part of a unique, expressive lifestyle (supported by rhetoric and ideology), you can get away with a great deal.

Ever wonder how "Queer as Folk" show all that they show on TV (albeit cable HBO)?

Lightbulbs, people!

dunno about bdsm selling on a mainstream site, but I can tell ya that a basic teen hardcore site does not convert well with bdsm traffic.

If that's true, then the rule is "mainstream traffic has kink in it, but kink traffic has very little non-kink in it."

Most people running the ads on mainstream sites don't consider Alt.com a BDSM site, they just consider it a "personals" site.
