The Economist reports that according to Hitwise, people are increasingly getting their daily allowance of porn via social networking.
The online pornography industry is estimated to be worth about $1 billion, and counts for about 13% of website visits in America (compared to search engines, which account for 7%).
I have been saying this for a long time. Seeing photos of the girl/guy next door on Myspace is just as, if not more appealing than the staged photos and videos for a growing percentage of the online population.
Myspace has at least a dozen people removing inappropriate photos all day long. Looks like they aren’t doing a very good job, which is bad news for the porn industry.

Why can’t my site get any publicity on here? Is it because I’m not a suit and tie Silicon guy?

I don’t think the online porn industry is worried about illegal xxx rated photos on myspace and all the other social networking sites. They allow 13yo’s to sign up. Let the social networking sites struggle to stay legal as adults only sites get real adults getting what they need.

It’s true. I’ve even heard the same quote “I guess it’s my new porn” from a woman I met on Springstreet 5 years ago. She’s in a no-sin relationship, so she cruises the fantasy dates. Me too.

It’s true. I am a bbw, when I go to myspace, all members thought bbws are porn, chicks, and all things of bbws are related to sex, it’s really awful and I feel down.
This situation changed after I joined plusmingle.com, which is catering specifically to BBWs and the men/women who admire and want to meet them. I met many decent big people here and be more confident with myself now.
