Do people pay for internet porn anymore pay sites memberships etc.

[cestmoi2010]

I paid for e year at Naughty America for $96 or $8 a month meaning one less lunch or whatever out per month pays for it. No biggie to me. Nice site and love the fact I can access the archive. Probably won't renew next May-ish

Don't give me that. Obama has special "presidential porn." Hell, he probably confiscates the best porn from all the countries he invades, for his own personal stash. Filthy warmonger. *

* Parody

Dino thinks Obama is gay, transference is an ugly thing, not all Presidents can be as manly as George W. Bush and Vladimir Putin. These two totally don't look like they want to corn hole each other when they get each other alone, shirtless and oiled up.

I think porn memberships have outworn themselves. I wish there was a sort of iTunes of porn whereby instead of paying $25-30 a month for a membership I could instead simply download the scene I want for a one time fee of say $15 and if I want it in HD you could make it $25. Say I want to see the new Jules Jordan DVD but I don't want to download the entire 2 hour movie, I just want the Lisa Ann scene. Just let me download the Lisa Ann scene for a one time fee. That's it. No downloading the entire movie, no $30 a month membership fee. I would just like to pay for what I watch and cut out all the other junk. I know this probably will never happen because you'll have to get all the internet companies and porn studios to sign on but it would be nice

[MissHybrid]

I can confirm that some do! I got into this a little late and missed the days when sites were selling hundreds of memberships per day.

I have a loyal following who join from time to time. Some will join because there is one particular new set they like.

Icemans suggestion, I like but can't see it happening just yet...

People still pay, but the days are long gone where you can throw up a membership site and the dough rolls in. Today it takes work to compete with society's view on porn and all the free/stolen stuff out there. Those that work their ass off and come up with clever ways to market themselves and use all possible avenues will continue making money.

Love it or hate it, but this is why we do Miss FreeOnes every year. It gives models who know traffic is gold the opportunity to harness it. Miss Hybrid, Mandy Flores, Maggie Green, Brianna Lee, Sabrina Deep can all attest that their traffic goes up. Hopefully memberships do too. ;-) But at least people's eyes are on the model's names.

We're still a ways away from this because what you're essentially talking about is micro payments. The technology is out there, however, it's a hard sell if you're asking people to do a $10 credit card payment. Credit cards are flat out rubbish fro micro transactions and there's some countries out there where credit cards just aren't done (netherlands, funny enough is one of them...you can't even buy groceries with a CC).

Until either Paypal or a Paypal alternative comes out that consumers will trust for their porn purchases, you're not going to see a lot of it.

 

[FreeOnes_Adam]

I personally pay, and I work in the stuff. Cam girls, monthly paysite subscriptions, DVDs, and the occasional VOD, all paid for. The rush of paying for your cam girl is really quite exhilarating. Knowing that you are controlling the situation on your dime. You really have to try it to see the difference. See what I mean: http://www.freeoneslive.com/ 120 free credits if you sign up for free. No BS.

And don't get me started on the toys. I scared Dana the other day with my personal collection. She hasn't been the same since. My job is complete.

Talking about Credit Cards...That is the only way to pay in the UK, as it is accepted as proof of age.

In the UK it is illegal, under EU law funnily enough, to accept a debit card as age verification, as the holder may be only 16...same goes for paypal

Not to worry though David C, if the user can't join with his debit card he can always just go to xyzporn.com and watch anything he want's just like he has since he learned to use his mobile or pc...

Funny how different EU states interpret the laws they sign up to.

I'm still interested in how the UK plans on making non-EU companies pay to sell porn in the UK.

Not to get off the subject entirely but you can't buy groceries with a credit card?? That's madness!

Thanks Adam for supporting the biz!! :lips:

Nope. You have to use cash or a dutch "pin" cards (just debit cards). Makes life so easy for tourists. I actually just dump all the cash off my pin card and put my mom's cash on it since they come over for months at a time and don't want to be dependent on me buying stuff all the time.

 

[FreeOnes_Adam]

Thanks Adam for supporting the biz!! :lips:

Its more of a thank you guys for doing that you do. The least I can do is shell out a little cash for something I like. And that something is girls. Mmmmm, girls...

 

[Petra]

Funny enough the only sites I've ever paid a membership for before working at FO is kink and wasteland. (well, now you know my tastes) Otherwise I wasn't ever into porn.

If I didn't work here, I'd probably consider a playboy.tv membership since I like their TV shows.

 

[BusterLoads]

Oh, I also believe in paying for porn so that more porn gets made, and supporting performers I like. clips4sale and the FO personals are great for that.

Nothing wrong with supporting a performer you like but I very much disagree with the first statement. There are WAY too many couples out there that put their sex vids on various tube sites and in many ways I find amateur stuff to be better than professional stuff.

 

[Mr_Stiffy]

Revision : so that more of the porn I like gets made. If nobody paid for porn, the only porn left would be zero budget stuff made by exhibitionists who did it for the fun and not to make money, with shit lighting and shit camera angles posted on trojan/malware-riddled tubez sites.

Sounds like a dystopian future to me. Laid Runner, if you like.

 

[Straight Shooter]

You mean like clips4sale?

Yeah that's a good way to think of it. It would be Clips4Sale but with all the major studios and companies putting their content on the website. You could go on there and buy the latest Bangbros or Brazzers scene or a scene from the latest Jules Jordan or Elegant Angel movie.

Laid Runner, where this scene ends up much better than the original.

 

[FreeOnes_Adam]

Personally, I look at it this way. You can get membership to a decent paysite for between 15 - 30 bucks per month, right? You can ever score better deals if you're smart about it!

Think about your pizza fund. A pie cost around 15 for something good. Thats a one time use pizza. Poof gone. For that money, you can have all the porn you can handle for a whole entire month. Porn is a good. Video games, food, snacks, treats, beer, a cd, a new shirt? Porn is totally in that somewhere. Investment!
