the numbers tossed around in these articles always amuse me. I have worked extensively in the adult industry and can guarantee its no where near $97B. Print is dead, the internet and PPV in hotels and satellites bring in the bacon and it's not much.
- OkGoDoIt 7y agoDoes the adult industry include things like strip clubs, physical stuff like condoms/vibrators, or dating sites/apps? I feel like a sufficiently broad definition probably encompasses a lot of money. If we’re talking specifically pornography, then I have no idea how big it is, but it certainly seems to be in a state of flux at the moment. I would love to see some additional resources describing cash flow in that industry and where things are currently moving.
- snark42 7y ago> guarantee its no where near $97B Worldwide? What if you include brothels, strip clubs, "used" items (ie panties, gamer girl bathwater,) etc.? Here's the source for $97B, puts US at $10-12B - https://www.nbcnews.com/business/business-news/things-are-looking-americas-porn-industry-n289431 https://www.nbcnews.com/business/business-news/things-are-lo...
- mtnGoat 7y agoYea, see I wouldn't include strip clubs, lingerie, etc. as porn, personally. But if you add that back in, plus prostitution and all sex work, $97b is attainable. I guess my view is slightly less encompassing then others'.
