I feel fairly qualified to do this. I've freelanced for all the major adult publishing houses. I founded my company in 1992, first in magazines and eventually moving to internet and swag and events etc. And I have a vagina.
I even have some thoughts on how to make sites women would frequent, which would make money. But not traditional membership sites.
I had a membership site aimed largely at women who like men some time back. I like shooting guys as well as chicks, and my magazines had always had a large female subscription base, so it seemed like a good idea. I like text, so it had more of that than some sites I've worked on. I think the content was decent, but it was disappointingly difficult to get female linklist-runners and bloggers and such to support it.
There are a few problems with selling to the average woman. A lot of women don't like the idea of someone else getting the sexual attention and appreciation. And most women think that it is never a woman's role to pay for
it.
I probably have a larger female percentage of my audience than most sites, partly because the female perspective comes into play in what I produce, and partly because my niche is somewhat unconventional . . . so it attracts unconventional women. That said, I'd hate to try to make payroll based just on women's purchases, ya know.
