Is the decline of porn, the fault of dating sites?
Not in the way you first thought.
Travel back 20 years. No Internet of any influence and if you want sex and don't have a girlfriend, you have to go and get one. Bar, disco, pubs, malls, supermarkets all great hunting grounds for the Male of the Species who looks OK and can walk up to a girl and start a conversation. It was that or a hooker or your hand.
For maybe 12 years it changed little. Then Dating Sites made the whole thing of getting laid easier. To 2015 and its never been easier to get laid. There's even apps that tell you where your closest free fuck is. So why bother with Tubes, when Blendr dleivers the real thing? And once a guy finds a permanent friend with benefits. He's not going to be surfing Pornhub, or clicking on ads. Unless it's to find the next dating site.
Think of it as a slow gradual change, as 65 year olds fall off the tree, are the younger blokes not even replacing those leaving? Think of it as a trend over years, not months. How are traffic and click stats performing over the last 2-3 years?
