Then by 2006 none of my friends would have an issue with paying for porn. Many were telling me of the sites they bought well before 2006. Karups, Lightspeed solo girls, etc.

Asked why they shifted to buyers they often said it was a disposable income issue. They also stopped fucking around to get lower electric bills, got the full package of HBO/Showtime, got unlimited texting for a little extra up front, etc.

There really is nothing you can do to get young people to part with their money. Think of beer runs. Ever done one? I know I have. Once I got a certain level of income I stopped because the risk/reward dictated I should just pony up for the beer.

Why buy porn now? Because it's clear, it's the right thing to do, you have income to waste on it.
