You stick with your money making retirement collectors version of V.O.D Video On demand.
and I'll stay with my interactive version of P.O.D Putas-On-Demand.
and we all live happy happy, happy, till we manage to combine the two worlds.
Which probably won't happen till EmporerEJ finishes his project in about 25 years

The only time I actually break down like that is when people talk smack about our Oprano SlumLoad. it just kills me to pieces

Delivery mechanism is kind of irrelevent here. Porn will always be available on just about any mechanism anyone could ever possibly invent. And companies like AEBN have the resources to put their product on it. The only question is will anyone use it? Or rather will enough people use it to make it profitable.

One has to understand psychology of users to make an educated bet on that. Porn on the phone? In it's current form, I've never seen the appeal, and indeed mobile on that platform has floundered. But now think about something like the Ipod for a moment. What's the real appeal of the Ipod? Forget technology, think business and personal needs and marketing. The appeal is to be able to have ALL of your favorite songs in a small package you can have with you at all times that is easy to use.

Done.

So how do you want your porn? Where are you not currently getting all the porn you could want or not enough variety? Places you might actually "use" it?

That's one question to ponder.

The other question around VOD is will people continue to tolerate pay per minute? Or WHY do they use it now and will it still exist in the future?

Now there's a whole other discussion about how broken the adult business model is with $30+ join rates while paying affiliates $35 per signup. So I'm not gonna touch that.

But instead, let's talk solely about VOD.

Historically, people have always preferred all you can eat to measured service when they can get it. This is true across any industry you can think of, telephone, etc. If they cant get all you can eat, they at least want to buy things in blocks that meet their needs. This is true of your cellphone. This is even true of your cable TV or satellite service. It's kind of measured in that it's ala-carte, but you buy the package that meets your needs for most months with the option to buy more on an as needed (on demand) basis.

Why?

What's the psychology?

Easy. People like a predictable bill and expenditure. Most people cant control themselves or manage their money. So they want that comfort.

So why would people go with PPM on VOD or even webcams when there are plenty of flat rate pay sites out there that have millions of pics, thousands of videos, etc.

Easy, the quality difference is huge....or rather the spankability. The flat rate sites for the most part are the same old stuff over and over. Whereas a distribtor like AEBN has EVERYTHING. They have all the top stars, top studios and they present it reliably and with quality. Same thing with webcams, you're getting a live girl and have enough to choose from to get what "does it for you".

So will it stay around? Only so long as someone doesn't cave and make something of a similar quality available on flat rate. But I dont see it happening. The studios still need to bring in good money, and you cant do it by giving the stuff away. Ma and Pa providers can, but again that's a whole different market segment that arent' relevent to the discussion.

What I could see is a cell phone like model whereby you have something similar to a cellphone contract whereby you can get a discount on buying big blocks of minutes if you commit to buy that block every month for a year. This is good for both the consumer and the business. The consumer gets predicability of his expenditure while knowing he can always go to AEBN and rub one out. And AEBN, or whoever, would gain a portion of their income that is as locked and predictable, if not more so, than anyone's existing recurring model.

Ma and Pa providers can, but again that's a whole different market segment that arent' relevent to the discussion.

Actually, ma and pa providers can't give it away and they are relevant to the discussion. They sell lots of product and they convert very well.

Agree, but the mechanics of that market are somewhat different from studio porn. Amateur and niche are all about loyalty more so than variety. Whereas the large VOD companies succeed because they are almost like an online Blockbuster store full of porn.

Why not attempt to answer these question by asking?
"Whats the purpose of pornography???" I mean, what purpose does it serve us? "I'm sure there would be a billion different answers"
And then possibly figure where it's direction needs to be focused at?
"Cuz jackin' off while waiting for the Double FF train @ the Brooklyn station with my cell phone, ain't gonna work bro"

ma & pa providers do well I believe is a trend we're just going threw in these past years."The reality feeling"
"and I think it will be (in demand) for many more years still."
it's popularity is all over the networks and home grown porn and amateur cams is now possibly "as close" as consumers are going to feel like with reality interactivity porn thats available on the Internet right now.
