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.
