No traffic/revenue, I would let them go unless it's really decent kw.

In most cases, it wasn't worth it to buy them i the first place.

They may be expensive, certainly. But even at $100 apiece, it's not real difficult to double your money back annually. If you think in terms of volume, having a 100% ROI is not exactly a bad thing.

I'm starting to see a few gain traction in the serps and as more tlds are being released weekly, I think Google and others might start giving them more love, so might hold them a bit longer.

Yes but it is unlikely you are doubling your money because of the domain alone on each name. It's usually your other work which doubles your money and not just the domain itself. If it were otherwise people would buy 25,000+ names (.xxx or otherwise) and do very little with them and we all know that isn't happening. In fact people tend to be dropping domains more and more.

I'd say it's worth keeping if you have a premium domain worth >$1000 or if the domain is part of a brand you control and you want to secure the .xxx. Otherwise you can almost buy 10+ other domains for the price of one .xxx domian.

In my humble opinion, it is Not the domain extension that matters, it is the domain itself, so IT Depends

Of course. I am just saying that anytime you buy a domain, regardless of extension, if it's not paying for itself after a year, then you are the reason for that. And that was my point to the OP, if you are not making double the reg fee from it, and no plans to do anything with it, then there's no point keeping it (unless it's a future investment).

That's just the benchmark I have for myself at renewal time. If, by the time a domain renews, I am not making double the renewal fee, then I'll likely just let it expire. Every asset must pay for itself in some aspect or it's no longer worth anything to me.

I would let them go, .xxx is a bad extension for adult.

The Indian government said they would block it, I am not sure if they followed it through.
