What's New In The Porn World? S'up guys? I've just returned after a year-long hiatus and was wondering if there has been any major breakthroughs in the porn industry during this time? Please keep me up to speed!  | |

Good question. I'm not sure there is any NEW thing, like a craze that everyone is replicating (like in the past with PAWGs Casting or Taboo). If there is any one thing, I would say it's the re-emergence of "features" with a narrative structure, like the Adult Time line of different series catering to niches. This has always been around, mind you, but Adult Time's emergence this year (which launched just around the time you took your sabbatical) as a force has really brought it back to the forefront. Another example of this would be Purgatory X, which has 3-scene arcs to all of their episodes and also features quality production. Oh, also the rise in creator platforms like Many Vids, Fan Centro snaps and (especially) Only Fans needs to be remarked. If you like Mia Malkova, for example, there's no need to jump around to which sites she appears on, simply pay the $10-15 a month and get something akin to a private Twitter feed, with pics and vids (both long and short, soft and hardcore) that feels more "real" than the productions. Plus, a much higher % of the revenue goes to the performer (plus they still own the rights to the content) There is a trade-off in that there is little in the way of polished production (the stars simply shoot the content and post it), and the update schedule varies wildly depending on the performer, but if you truly enjoy someone's work it's an avenue well worth your time. As someone whose job includes prospecting new sites to review, I can tell you that there has never been LESS new sites than in the 8 years it's been part of my job to do that. On the other hand, the quality of the sites that do launch are above what was being churned out at the beginning of the decade. Quantity might be down, but quality is definitely up. Plus, the sites that are still doing their thing are more reflective of the wants and needs of their member base than ever before (side note: to anyone reading this, YOU SHOULD DEFINITELY CONTACT YOUR FAVORITE SITES AND TELL THEM WHAT YOU LIKE. I talk with most of them on a regular basis and they crave to hear what you want to see in terms of content. You are paying for more than just to watch the scenes - you are part of their communities as well and you should take full advantage of that) In terms of stars, I would say the emergence of Gabbie Carter and Autumn Falls on the scene (both weeks removed from their 18th birthdays when the appeared) as fast-growing names would stand out. Streaming-only is slowly becoming more commonplace, with upsells to access downloads. These are all of the notable things I can think of for 2019, but I'm sure the community has other things that stand out for them. Thanks again for the great question. I hope this helps.

There are some older sites doing this with upsells to downloads. The problem is they spring it on members once they have joined. Other sites give the option for streaming only with a higher fee charged for downloading. As for what is new in porn, I believe MikeC has covered most of it. VR is trying to become a thing but so far has yet to be offered on any of the sites I go to. It might go the way of BetaMax, HD DVD and other formats unless they find a way to make it a must have. 4K is the wave for now. (It looks the same to my old eyes as HD so I don't waste my space on the huge file space it takes up on my computer.) "Dogs think people are Gods.

Good points. Curiosity on VR has certainly cooled but among it's devotees it's certainly still vibrant. Right now, I am at a conference with many of the big website and production houses and VR is still heavily being pushed. The people at Sex Like Real, for example, had a booth set up to show off their 4K streaming that streams off of the device instead of the browser (which makes for sub-par streaming) and everyone who played with the devices were wowed by what they saw. So, the technology is still improving. | |

There's a move afoot to get consumers to subscribe to services instead of purchasing things. It's happened in music, TV, books, and is now happening in porn, as shown by the move to streaming only memberships with an up sell for downloads.
