E-Porn a $2.5 Billion Business: Report
By: Charles Farrar

CYBERSPACE - The adult Internet is now a $2.5 billion business with as many as 4.2 million adult websites and 372 million adult Web pages, according to the latest statistical reporting from Top10REVIEWS's Internet Filter Review.

Based on analyses from multiple Internet filtering programs and databases, the IFR concluded that the entire adult entertainment industry is worth about $57 billion around the world and $12 billion in the U.S. alone. That?s more than the combined revenues of ABC, CBS, and NBC ($6.2 billion).

Adult videos continue to be the big moneymakers at $20 billion, according to IFR, with escort services next at $11 billion, magazines at $7.5 billion, cable and pay-per-view broadcasting and the adult Internet at $2.5 billion each, and adult CD-ROMs at $1.5 billion.

The IFR analysis said that search engine requests for adult material have hit 68 million a day, or 25 percent of total search engine requests, while daily adult-oriented emails account for as much as 8 percent of all email (2.5 billion) and produce 72 million adult site visitors a year.

The analysis also said an estimated 35 percent of peer-to-peer file-swapping downloads deal with adult material, equal to about 1.5 billion adult downloads a month.

"With peer-to-peer file sharing, children can download a free triple-X-rated movie full of hardcore pornography," said Top10REVIEWs analyst Jerry Ropelato. "What's more, even if you have an Internet filter installed, most likely the filter will let this material right on through."

Among those surveyed, 20 percent of men and 13 percent of women admitted to accessing Internet porn on the job, and 10 percent of men and 17 percent of women admitted they were addicted to Internet porn.

and all these morons think 2257 or .xxx will go through :1orglaugh

Come on AVN... these stats first appeared at least two months ago in a broader report about the whole porn industry. Surely your writers can do more than just dress up old news?

4.2 million adult web sites...Damn! That means each DOJ inspector only has to cover 210,000 web sites each.

Interesting stats.

:1orglaugh Sorry, it's all a big conspiracy and you have to know the secret password to get in.

Addicted to Internet Porn?

Hello?
What?

Women more "addicted" than men to Porn?
What is this addiction they speak of?

im an addict of porn

THis is one of those inflated "Findings" to portray Adult as massive huge force to scare people into believing its to prevailant and freely available.

I agree with Freely available but certainly not as big as the numbers of 12 Billion for the US alone?

WTF? Thats the kind of artical that makes people pissed and want to take us out. Just the kind of Ammo Law Makers want.

What a bunch of BS.

ah, that's why i make no money

what shocked me was I heard publishing in Spain (books, magazines and newspapers) is a 40 billion euro industry, and that is just here in Spain, that's like 47 billion dollars.
I would've expected worlwide porn industry to be much, much bigger than this...

I m going to have to review our books I think my wife is holding out on me lol

Much rage yes.

Between the lines you must read!

Good one. While you were ogling the boobies she was stuffing dead presidents in her bra and setting up a secret swiss bank account.

The number of webpages must be an undercount. We have just shy of 100 million pages from our our search engine spamming days. They're hardly linked from anywhere, but they're still online. I really doubt we have a quarter of all adult webpages.

I perceive this, too... I'd be afraid, but I use a Jedi mind trick to deflect negativity. :winkwink:

read between lines i will... hmm.. yes

The original material first quoted here from an XBiz article about 4-6 weeks ago by - if memory serves - Paul Markham, is from http://internet-filter-review.topten...tatistics.html

The site doesn't offer any explanation as to how the figures were arrived at and since the site is promoting filtering software, one might expect them to tend towards scare-mongering. However, if that were the case, they would likely put online porn at more than 5% of the total adult market.

Whether the figures are accurate or not, I still think it's a bit sad that for drive-by spam, one of the industry's main publications can't manage something better than a rehashed bit of old "news".
