In reply to the discussion: Just an honest question here about porn... [View all]zappaman

Porn is what you enjoy, ya sick bastid you!
Seriously, the industry is hurting. Much like the music industry, there is so much free stuff out there that people see no reason to pay for it.
I know more than a few in the adult industry and they are trying everything they can to stay afloat.
And, by the way, this is also happening in the mainstream film industry.
Suffice it to say, the internet has changed these businesses forever and they will all have to adapt or vanish.

I agree with you. And what I have been trying to say here is that it is very upsetting for me

In actuality, Doug Winger's stuff is mild in comparison, with the really screwy stuff nowadays.
