Todays porn consumer is spoilt for choice. Never before has there been so many options to satisfy their demand. They can go to thousands of paysites, freesites, Tubes and Torrents to satisfy their need. There are forums where they talk and debate over their favourite niche, star, porn, etc. They can go to Tube sites where thousands of viewers score the scenes so the best is at the top. There has never been a bigger supply of porn and never been a more knowledgeable consumer of porn. Especially the guys who buy. These are the experts we have to sell to.

Get it wrong and they will not buy, con them into buying and they will form the opinion that paying for porn is not a wise move. Many have already done that.

This business is under attack from the inside, we have pissed off the very people we rely on for our income. Those that buy porn. Today they don't have to take what we dish out. Nothing like it was in the past. From 1977 to 1990 they bought anything they could get their hands on. On the Internet up until 2000 they bought anything they could find. 2008 is a lot tougher, shooting and selling porn has never been tougher.

This market sells a highly consumable product. We are all reliant on each other for the opinion the buying consumer has of us overall.

Replies from people like bloggingseo show the problem. Say nothing and no point in reading them. Pity is if he had anything to contribute he should. Was porn easier to get in 1988 than 2008, was the porn consumer then spoilt for choice and he's not now, was he more knowledgeable than todays consumer?

Come on bloggingseo where did I get it wrong?
