Internet Pornography Stats
by Michael Arrington on May 12, 2007

Check out this video from Good Magazine that shows a number of stats about the Internet pornography industry, in an “almost” not safe for work format. It is staggering how much actual money flows through porn and how many people are involved in the industry:

  • 89% of porn is created in the U.S.
  • $2.84 billion in revenue was generated from U.S. porn sites in 2006
  • $89/second is spent on porn
  • 72% of porn viewers are men
  • 260 new porn sites go online daily

We’ve covered a handful of adult-related startups here. These include a porn-specific browser called HeatSeek (that has connections to Sequoia-funded Songbird), a user-generated porn YouTube clone called Pornotube, as well as a few others like EroShare and ScrewTube.

Usually the porn industry innovates first and key features make their way to more mainstream sites. But over the last couple of years, many of the new ideas around web applications, like user generated content, video sharing, etc., went mainstream first and are now hitting the porn sites.

  • Shame they misspelled Malaysia… mind you, if it was my job to write on a hot chick i probably would have got flustered and spelled it “Please can I spunk on your tits?”

  • emm i think this is underestimated! I believe the numbers are much MUCH higher than these…

  • If you’re like me, you don’t appreciate your boyfriend’s porn habits. Here’s how I learned to deal: http://listafterlist.com/tabid.....raphy.aspx

  • Wait a minute, isn’t homeclips a user-generated porn site?

  • And too think it will double, triple, etc.

    Whoa.

  • Internet Porn is going to have a lifespan roughly equivalent the that of the TV sitcom, in around 50 years people will get tried of it and move on to something else. I’m thinking stone tablets.

  • Pfft…
    2.8 billion a year? MS does that about every week…
    And that’s only ONE company. (A dictatorial one, BTW.)

  • Personally I dislike - no hate - pornography, there’s no point arguing about it since people rationalize and defend it as if their life depends on it, but here’s a link with more accurate details to pornography related statistics.

  • Do you really believe most of the, so called, user generated porn sides are authentic? To our knowledge, there is hardly anything like this around. An outstanding example, however, is http://www.private-voyeurs.org. That’s really true, authentic and legal outdoor sex voyeur movies along with even more information. Try it out.

  • Speaking of, I need to go look at some porn right about now.

  • I find hard core boring. Beautiful girls are a turn on, so is kissing. In my 66 years of life, not one partner has gone for the”sucking cock” initially. That comes later with exploration. What ever happened to face to face fucking…missionary style. It is after all the most intimate and beautiful. I love sex in any position and any deviance, but love making needs to start off erotically; not a cold hard grab at the cock or clitoris, and an almost uninterested connection with the opposite sex.
    Can’t you guys get you act together and give us truly beautiful porn?
