Translation did by me

Dutch porn doesnt sell anymore. Dutch pornsites and sexmagaines are losing the battle against international sites like Youporn, Xvideos and livejasmin, that ooffer a huge supply of free sexmovies. " the competition with those websites is lost. Dutch websites and companies that focus on pornmovies and erotic portals try to put up other activities like webshops and datingsites as fast as they can" says Wan, the owner of the website sexjobs.nl, he would rather not have his last name published.

Magazines have the same problems, only a handfull still exist

for single years now, there are websites with an endless supply of pornmovies. they earn money with advertising and pop-ups, while on a lot of dutch alternatives you can only watch the movies after you have paid. those dutch sites attracted a lot of visitors for years, but are now forced to stop

Free movies
"its practical impossible to compete and there are not a lot of dutch parties left". the most populair pornsite in the netherlands is nowadays Xhamster, followed by Livejasmin, Pornhub, Xvideos, and Youporn. each of them sites with free movies

that also shows in the top 500 most visited websites in the netherlands. from the 30 pornosites that are in the list with 500 most visited webpages, only three traditional Dutch sites that offer "entertainment for adults", according to data from alexa. That company maps the popularity of websites by sampling


Reviews
The three Dutch Pages in the top 500 are no sites with movies, but platforms including the previously mentioned Sexjobs.nl Kinky.nl and hookers.nl. the first two are advertisement sites for people that are active in prostitution, the last one is a platform for people that - to put it bluntly - review the prostitutes

"there are still people that think that porno earns you gold, but thats not the case anymore" according to a spokesman of Midhold BV, the driving force behind Kinky.nl and Hookers.nl. "only parties like Kim holland, who delivers real unique content and also make sure their contant stays unique, earn money" says Wan.

Established brand
A spokesman of Kim Holland Produtcions confirms that image. "we're a established brand; Kim is the reason for visiting the site. on top of that we make three new movies every week, focussed on the dutch market with a nice atmosphere. for that experience and for the new material a regular group of visitors wants to pay. the older movies start floating around on the internet. that's unstoppable.

Magaines are in the same boat as paysites; th
Bladen zitten in hetzelfde schuitje als de betaalsites; they all have difficulties to compete with the free internet porn."its a hard job, i never expected that the magazinemarket would collapse like this". Says Sandy Wenderhold, publisher of the erotic magazine Candy. the editor in chief of foxy, Simon Hoekstra, recognizes that image. "Foxy also took a heavy beating"

Testing toys
The two magazines, that put erotics on paper in their own ways, still exists, while competition is dissapearing from the shelves. "our content is different, people do appreciate it when they get a magazine with unique content and relevant topics". Hoekstra explains.

"Some people like paper more and prefer to read the personals in a magazine. and certain sections, like 'test a toy', where women test a sextoy, stay very popular. also with women". wenderhold completes.

The Dutch porn industry is a joke. It's horrible. Who wants to watch that shit in the first place?
The people who shoot it are clueless and the girls....if i watch it for 5 minutes i want to poke my eyes out.
It's really no big problem if the Dutch would stop producing porn.
Actually, i would be happy if that was the case.
