Does anyone even pay for porn?

I know I never have or will pay for it, how do these porn companies profit? Ads? I see studio sites where they charge, but with the large amount of youtube like sites, why would anyone pay?

Have you ever payed for it? Would you?

I've been thinking about paying for some feminist porn site recently. I can find stuff that I like on some of the free sites, but it's vastly outnumbered by hypermisogynistic rape culture porn. I feel shitty using those sites when they're profiting off that.

Wait what? Aside from the niche porn which caters to those specific fantasies, where on EARTH have you been seeing rape culture porn? Personally I haven't seen any and nor would I want to.

It all just seems to be the super over the top fake orgasm porn where the guys are exaggeratedly well endowed and the women are more plastic than the credit card used to pay for their surgery.

To understand why people pay for porn you have to use the premium sites that are worth paying for first.
The appeal is the hot new girls that they post every week. When you use the same tube sites long enough with the same girls in the low quality vids you'll start to see the appeal of pay sites.

Do I pay for porn? Hell no. I just managed to get a password for one of the premium sites somehow. It was awesome.

Only on GAF (or possibly Gawker).

I've been wondering about that for a long time. Porn is such a productive industry, yet I can't imagine ever paying for it and everyone I know seems to feel the same way.

Never heard of it.

Besides, the point of porn is fantasy, right? Not necessarily to be acted out. So long as the women aren't being forced into it, it's just porn - not an oversexualized advertisement, not slavery, etc. I don't see how varying types of fantasies and therefore porn is harmful.

Considering that they keep making it, someone must be paying for it. I wouldn't want that appearing on my CC bill though, so I'd never personally do it.

I don't think he has a problem with the acts depicted in the vids as much as the industry itself. Unless you're watching some stuff from a particular place like that or a pornstar you know has some buying power for herself it's a toss up what's really going on. It's gotten better though.

That is what discrete billing is for. You don't have a subscription to bighugetitties.com, you have a subscription to ccbill.com.

HD/3D is the best. It's like you're there, and then the money shot happens and you need a shower.

I don't shop at a wide enough variety of stores for a recurring monthly charge to ccbill to go unnoticed.

I wonder if stores let you buy those using cash, for ultimate porn-anonymity.

I had free access to stuff when I was a SG (years ago) and the quality of the stuff I had access to is the same as the stuff I can find. FO' FREE.

Tried it once, and I pretty much paid $7 to download almost every video on the site before the month was over. It was kinda hard to go back to videos where the girls' boobs span 7 pixels, but I'm not paying those prices on the regular.

I don't know. I actually paid for a month of porn once to see the difference.

I was a bit disappointed to say the least.
