Perhaps in due time that may change, but for now .com and even the better of the .com alternatives are more established and visible than .xxx.

I don't doubt there are some .xxx domains that could reeally make an impact, but I think most of them were grabbed by Frank Schilling and Mike Berkens from the premiums that ICM held.
I do agree .com is the best extension for all types of content, but as far as adult goes I like .com, .xxx, and .net a distant 3rd. A domain flipper on these boards did mention that the .xxx extension looks like another word in the domain which is a negative. Basically my point was if he was so desperate for a domain with cum in it, he most likely find something available in .xxx, in fact a lot of people are dropping good domains since they feel they are worthless. I am in escrow now on a .xxx domain that will be my largest investment in a domain. It's a 4 letter one.
