they can get waay more out of a social networking site then they can from a dating site, but I don't agree vs a porn site. There is no nudity on facebook, myspace. There is no nudity on those sites.
I think social networking sites have cut into dating sites, mainly because most of the adult dating sites don't even have real people on them in the first place. Sure you can hook up on social networking sites, but I don't see it as a substitute to porn.
I see you and a few other people here think social networking sites are killing porn. Your "proof" is based on the amount of time that younger people are spending on social networking sites. While it is a fact that this younger generation does spend a lot of time on these sites, it doesn't mean they gave up porn time for social networking. Perhaps they watch TV less, or play less video games. Porn is NOT entertainment IMO. It is not in the same category as watching movies, playing games, hanging out with friends etc. Porn is something you do when you get horny. You don't get less horny just because you spending a lot of time on facebook, and there is nothing to jerk off to on facebook.
What seems more plausible, there is less people buying porn now because:
1. They are maxed out on their credit cards.
2. Because they get it for free on xyz tube site.
3. Because they are too busy chatting with friends on facebook.
Shap's argument that TGP sites started tanking before tube sites came out. 1 I don't agree, but even if they did, the top 5 tube sites today get more traffic than all of the tgp sites combined got 5 years ago. If people were so busy on social networking sites and that killed porn then why is there so many porn tube sites in the top 100 sites in the world??? Tube sites are 100x more popular than tgps. What happened was tube sites drained all of the tgp sites AND a lot of the pic and video sites, and pooled all of that into a handfull of top ranked tube sites.
