Porn and the economy

You can sign up with a debit card so i can't see the "credit crunch" as they say having much effect, even if people do cut up their cards they'll more than likely turn to a debit card.

But many US debit cards cannot be processed by of-shore billing companies in order to reduce fraud. For example, CCBill Europe cannot process any debit cards from my bank - and that's a LOT of debit cards that won't result in sales (keeps me from buying porn though as I burned all but one of my credit cards last year. )

Ahh ok, i didn't know that, I know i've never had any problems online with mine here or abroad.

Fraud is another thing i think that's having an effect on sales especially in the UK and probably everywhere else.
They say so many people won't use cards online through fear of fraud and the banks and billing companies are not doing enough to tackle it.

I'm surprised you need to buy porn with the amount sex you get.
