A huge threat is the internet's move towards user created content and the technology and sites that make it possible.

Porn sites used to bridge the gap between the beautiful people and those who lust over them. The new internet writes us out of the picture in that regard.

Nowadays though the use of MySpace you've got an unlimited number of hot people to contact directly. That's something most types of porn sites never even allowed.

That's not porn, but consider that even just 5 years ago you needed to be a webmaster to put stuff online. Not anymore. The emergence of digital cameras, webcams, blogs, free pic and video hosting, profile sites, social networks, etc... leave open the possibility that future development of these things could lead to self-produced adult material that does compete with the industry. In fact we are already starting to see it now.

Why should someone pay $6 a minute to watch a guy on F4F when there are hot guys on cam in Yahoo chat? And these guys are real, not cyber hustlers.

You don't need to join a single model site and pay $30 a month for his friendship when such guys are now easily found on MySpace.

This sort of stuff will never kill porn because of the production quality issue, but I think they can give us a serious hit down the road.
