Porn makes more money than all professional sports combined.
(Before tube site gave it all away for free)

[biskoppen]

I still don't get why more or less all stats we look at shows us 80%+ US customers...

[crockett]

considering that's a religious right webpage, I'd say their stats likely can't be trusted unless they have some good sources.

[pornguy]

Becaues they are the ones using the CC's and also the people in China have to sruf with proxies, Porn is illegal in chain I believe.

[woj]

Those stats sounds like bullshit

[FightThisPatent]

I'm not so sure about those stats.

Walmart alone does $1B/day in billing

My estimates of online adult cc processing is around $1B per year

The offline stuff like DVD stores, strip clubs, etc, could be couple billing as well.

There are numbers out there from congress quoting that C.P. (kiddie porn) is a $10B/yr industry that is laughable.


Fight the double speak!

[slapass]

yeah these numbers are way off. Not sure what they are throwing in there but it is clearly not just internet porn.

[Serge Litehead]

china biggest porn consumer revenue wise :LOL

[xclusive]

obviously they get their stats from reading gfy where everybody is a millionaire

[MikeHawk]

lol...........

[tony286]

Me and Mike South were talking about this and those numbers have to be very off. Like if our industry generates all that money where are all the porn billionaires ? There aren't any or the number of millionaires in this business would be much much greater.

from mikes blog:
Somebody Is Getting Fucked In This Biz, Chances Are It’s Us:

According to the 800 lb gorilla there’s a new study out that places the porn biz at 13 BILLION dollars this year. More specifically it places video sales and rentals at 4.3 billion, that BILLION y’all $4,300,000,000 . AVN also noted that last year we had 13,500 releases.

Now what the gorilla didn’t do was the math, I guess thats for us upper primates…so here it is

$4,300,000,000 divided by 13,500 = $318,519

Now for all you porn guys and porn chicks who are looking at that and scratchin yer head going huh? that would be the average sales totals on each of those 13,500 videos.

That’s right 318,00.00 per video. hmmm I know I ain’t making even 2% of that and I own the fuckers.

So either we need to come together for a more equitable deal as directors and talent or those numbers are pulled out of someones ass….or both…

[Drake]

Completely false

[baddog]

total bullshit

[baddog]

figure Amazon alone makes almost $2 million an hour

[mikesouth]

As tony404 noted that I noted

BULL FUCKING SHIT

complete nonsense

[fris]

interesting stats

[payd2purv]

I'm with Tony404.... I'm on ALL of the adult forums.

So unless the bulk of this INTERNET industry is hidden offline it has got to be complete bullshit..

Cause NOBODY is making money like that article claims.

[xmas13]

Inflated figures........................................

[Internet Guy]

[MikeHawk]

In the US the pornography industry is larger than the record and film industries combined..

[Klen]

Well it could be bigger,but again there is no sense to compare since adult contain billion companies

Have you ever made an intelligent comment or is it just because you try to post in English that causes you to come across as an idiot?
