I think you guys are crazy thinking people want to join porn communities.

"Bill is jacking off to the new teen girl from XYZ sponsor right now - it's gonna be a better spurt than yesterday's load for that other girl from ABC sponsor"

You are misunderstanding the problem.

I have a little image host. That's where I learned that these communities already exist. Ugly women post photos of themselves. Men print one of their photos, ejaculate on it, take a picture of the mess and repost it.

Plus, plenty of adult sites, TGPs and a few link lists, already have their own message boards where surfers discuss porn. The adult industry is, once again, trailing behind when it comes to community and social media.

And my argument is that porn surfers don't want to form porn communities. The ones that do form are like what you just describe - small and fetishistic - and I leave it to you to figure out how to monetize the one you described.

We've all looked at the "bbs's" in porn sites - they are lame as fuck. Why? Because porn surfers are not looking for the type of community experience provided by places like facebook.

Wishing you could sell porn on a facebook platform won't make a porn-based social network form.

That's why I mentioned the thrill of stealing thing - porn works on a more primal private level than facebook and linked in - we have to look for primal hooks. Primates instinctively love to steal, and to get credit for stealing - and I was suggesting that was part of what makes porn bbs's work, the thrill of stealing.

Now, lets look at your last argument - do you think the porn businesses are 'lagging behind' social networking? You really figure we are all kinda standing there with one thumb in our ass and one in out mouth saying "well I just can't figure out this social stuff".

I don't think it's because we ae too stupid to use social networking scripts to sell porn. I think everybody has been trying it all along, with limited success.

because people don't really, in general, want to jerk off in public.

Actually, yes. That doesn't make me correct, but that is my standing belief, and I have no reason to believe otherwise.

But...I certainly wouldn't ever suggest attempting to create an FB clone for porn. That isn't at all what I was saying or intending to say. I have a message board with a bunch of members. People join everyday, then do nothing. They never post, they never even edit their profile. I know they aren't big on publishing much detail. The lazy fuckers wont' even select their favorite niche from a dropdown box. I have no idea why they even join, but they do.

What I was saying was to use the apps FB makes available to all developers. The same ones that allow you to comment on news articles at various mainstream sites. It's the commentator's choice whether or not those comments get posted to their FB page. So, theoretically, you could safely allow strangers to post comments without making them register with your site, and not have the big worry about comment spam.

But they do want porn that is free of viruses, has very little spam, is easy to navigate, has fresh content, quality, variety...and these are things a community style environment could offer. When you type something into Google, you get a lot of shit...a community network could cull things down and save a surfer a lot of time, plus give them a little confidence that their computer will not be infected.

I know a lot of people who will not surf porn because it's just too much of a pain in the ass. There's probably an untapped market of horny people who might enjoy porn, but don't want to deal with all the bullshit involved in web surfing for it.

It's not about jerking off in public (although that sounds like an interesting niche

), it's more about security, quality, and convenience.
