Do you think this business is recession resistant?

I think porn will always sell, Right after 9/11 I noticed an increase in sales

If people are home more often there will be more people on the web
which cant be bad for sales

what makes me wonder is all these prepaid credit cards
I noticed my local 7/11 selling prepaid visa's

what will that do to the recurring buisness model and what will that do as far as a COPA issue

I also was amazed at how well my 1st pay site BV did during the whole 9/11 thing and the slump in our economy afterwards. Sales never slowed down a bit. In fact quite the opposite.

Although it might hurt the recurring business model, it would also open up a lot of opportunities. Theres a huge market of people that either don't have CC's or don't want adult sites showing up on their statements.

I don't think any business is "recession proof", but I think that the effects would be less harmful to our industry than many other luxury-type industries. It's not like we're heading into another great depression. Having a lexus is nice, but its not a primal need. No one pleasures themselves to rolex watches and mansions (as far as I know, maybe that a new niche...). As long as chicks keep being hot and guys keep enjoying looking at them, there will always be a market for porn.

Would an economic downturn cut into profit? Surely.
Is it ever going to be bad enough that its not worth it? Highly unlikely.

Just my 2 cents.

They say Sex, alcohol, and gambling are recession proof right?
