Friends -

I'm thinking that the effects of the spring moratorium in the porn industry are upon us.

In cruising the local smut emporiums and looking at the release schedules here and at Excalibur, there doesn't seem to be too much new product coming out of the end of the pipe. The New Release shelves in my porn stores are filled with old stuff, amateur stuff and compilations.

Is anybody else seeing this? Will it be fall before the flow ramps back up? I know people are shooting now, so this shouldn't last too long.

Elegant Angel took the opportunity to transfer some more OBG's to DVD so I'm quite content. There's plenty of new stuff on the shelves here in Dallas. Maybe not the volume that we had earlier, but, frankly, there was too much to keep up with anyway.

Moratorium? I am still watching porn released in 2002 (and 2001, 2000, 1999, 1998, ...).

Fellas -

Even in flush times, I only look for specific actresses or specific themes, and pass right by most of the stuff that gets put out.

So when I go a long time without seeing much new in the genres that I like, or from the specific actesses that I like, it's noticeable. And like you guys, I certainly wouldn't even attempt to keep track of all that is new.

It's just a feeling that I get that volume is down.

Here in San Diego, we're not far from the San Fernando Valley Ground Zero of the Porn World, and we usually get the product pretty fast after release, and even the store operators here have commented on things slowing.

BSD - the volume always goes down in the summer months anyway, and then usually picks up in September.

Porn companies realize that there is a smaller demand for porn during the summer months because families go on vacation and more people go outside to do activities and spend less time watching porn.

Sure, this isn't true for everyone, but sales do go down dramatically during the summer, so it's just not worth it to release tons of titles if they're not going to sell well.

I predict there will be as much as ever in September.

I get the idea Tricia, the companies release their product for the christmas rush in the hope that housewives across the land will buy the title as a stocking filler for their brothers and uncles. Who knows, maybe you even get that coveted christmas no#1 slot ??

HAHAHA...LOL.. I agree!!!

I too find myself still trying to catch up..there is so much porn and so little time. I must have like 700 titles in my que tha I want to see. I doubt I'll ever see all of them but they just keep coming out. And I don't watch every studio, maybe 6 of them at the most. So perhaps if the studios took a year or two off it would give me a chance to catch up. What do you say Tricia??? ...umm..thought not. lol

But that doesn't keep me from trying. It is a dirty rotten
job but someone has to do it.

You can say that again. During college, I worked in a porn-video only store. It was dead during the summer, worse on the weekdays. The receipts were less than 1/3 of the days during the winter.
