Does anyone even pay for porn?

I was in the sex shop with the wife, and noticed the price of DVD's and Blurays...

DVD's were like $30 and the Blurays? THEY WERE $60+!!!??!

Yeah, people are not going to pay that type of money for porn....
But there is a website I mentioned earlier that allows at minimum DVD quality direct downloads of tens of thousands of scenes straight from the DVD/Blu Ray. Like $10 a month for DVD quality. Given you can download everything with no BS, that is a damn good value. I think its an extra few bucks to get access to Blu Rays.

Pretty much like Netflix. Heck, I think it predates Netflix.
 
I almost considered recently signing up for this one porn site. Had never done it before but saw some of the videos and came across some of the "actors" and they happened to be hilarious as fuck. Or at least I thought so anyways. Not in a "bad-porn" type sense but just an awesome personality, really love what they're doing and enjoy acting it out sorta way.

Some of them seemed like total bros, would definitely high-five and brofist them if ever given the chance.

Might still do it eventually if I get bored enough. Supposedly you get to interact with them. Would ask if any of them play vidya games. Never know where you'll find new vidya game bros. Mite b cool.

Wtf
 
The porn industry today is kind of like the video game Free-to-Play model, right? Surviving off the few "whales" spending tons of money for content while the vast majority mooch?

I've purchased porn exactly on one occasion.

Me and a friend went halves on a copy of Space Nuts to give to a co worker as a Christmas gift.

That shit was EXPENSIVE. I would have never thought that porn would be that pricey. I think it was like 60 bucks. Absolutely ridiculous, but then again everything at Lovers is overpriced so I don't know what the fuck I was thinking.

Got a cool membership card out of it though, and I think there was also some sort of flash light dildo key fob thrown in or something. Was a pretty cool Christmas that year.

Obviously people do, or Brazzers/Bang Bros wouldn't be in business. I don't know anyone personally or myself even.

Its probably a cheap business too. The main product is sexy people/models who are willing to get naked and reproduce in front of a HD hands-free camera bought at the local electronics store fimled in gonzo-style.

Of course Im exagerrating, but thats the rough idea.

Plus, you got those 40+ guys out there, married, that get a guilty trip downloading skin flicks for free and buy a 12 month subscription instead.

Who wouldn't want to pay to see her?
People pay for porn alright, hell they even subscribe to porn via a monthly fee. Take it from me, I'm a dev at a company that deals with these sites.
Cool, I'm sure there are many crazy stories, care to share any?

Problem is that there's 10 dozen other chicks that look exactly like her that you can see for free. I think most people who pay do it because there's a unique-looking woman that really does it for them, and all her material is behind a paywall. Either that, or it's a girl that is an exceptional actress or does things the other women don't do. There has to be something about an actress that sets her apart before you'll cough up money.

It'd be easier if she actually got mad and I could argue about it.

She's the type that cries.

A lot.

:(

And has a gaf account.

*crosses fingers*

Aww man, shes got your balls wrapped around her finger.

Crying to get one's way? thats pretty manipulative.

Are some people on here really saying theyve never paid for porn in any respect? Ive definitely trialed a few websites here and there, purchased a movie or two and bought some magazines in the past. Dunno anyone else that hasnt done the same. I would say its unusual if you havent
 
I'd only pay for porn if i was getting something of material value... like a PS3 controller or even an iPhone case. Imagine a Porn Hub iPhone case...

Today I paid for porn, well not really but extremely close.
So I'm going through a regular local news blog and suddenly this girl stares at me:

Reading the article I find out it's Oksana Shachko from FEMEN (topless protests, feminists) getting arrested in Davos, The World Economic Forum.

Given the circumstances I found tons of free nudity of her thanks to google, paid for it by buying one of their (NSFW)personalized boobprints.

Fuck the Police for arresting topless girls, I get they have orders but there are always exceptions, this is one.

I just saw a friend post this on Facebook, and since people in this thread seemed to think I was making shit up when talking about feminist porn, I figured I'd share it here.


Ordered it off of Amazon. Excited to read it! I generally like anything Tristan Taormino is involved in.

Edit : Here's the book synopsis, too.

The Feminist Porn Book brings together for the first time writings by feminists in the adult industry and research by feminist porn scholars. This book investigates not only how feminists understand pornography, but also how feminists do porn—that is, direct, act in, produce, and consume one of the world's most lucrative and growing industries. With original contributions by Susie Bright, Candida Royalle, Betty Dodson, Nina Hartley, Buck Angel, Lynn Comella, Jane Ward, Ariane Cruz, Kevin Heffernan, and more, The Feminist Porn Book updates the arguments of the porn wars of the 1980s, which sharply divided the women's movement, and identifies pornography as a form of expression and labor in which women and racial and sexual minorities produce power and pleasure.
