Why does the USA buy so much porn?
 
The EU is similar in size and economic power, and yet I never hear of a porn company making half of their sales there. Do we have big groups of paysites in Italian or French? It seems like the industry is heavily waited to the US consumer.

You gotta be smart to know how to do it in Europe. It is way different...

I think earlier in the Internets history Americans had easy access to credit cards and were more willing to use them...

Even now we have a different attitude to using credit/debit cards here in the EU - We are way more cautious - You need to develop more of a relationship with surfers to build trust.....

in the EU people don't use CC for access to online services


there are a lot of EU based companies making $$$

German porn companies make german money
Dutch porn companies make dutch money
Spanish porn companies make spanish money

and so on..

it is not easy for American company to really tap into the european market

https://www.ukash.com/

do you allow Ukash payments? many in europe use this service and similar ones

you go to normal supermarket , buy a voucher for $10 - $100 and you can then use that to spend money online without giving up any of your cc details

We do very well in Europe and US sales are less than 50%.

People in Europe buy cams. The Europeans will buy paysites too but their tastes differ from the "American message." Maybe that is why you say what you say?

However, I just see the US sales as a market. For that matter, there are 126 million people in Japan. The adult male in Japan has one of the highest average spendable incomes in the world.

One of my first sales managers in my career once told me that: To sell someone you have to be like a mirror sometimes -- putting yourself in that person's place and understanding what they want to buy or how they will benefit by buying your product. Wise words ...

You frame the question incorrectly. It should be 'why isn't the rest of the world buying a normal amount of porn?'. :winkwink:

People from EU does use credit card in 2013 for buying porn. Memberships are sold everywhere because everyone loves porn.
Agreed with Zealotry, the european market is different than US.

Compensating for earlier generations treating sex as taboo.

Think of now as the raging climax after centuries of teasing.

Probably a combination of all of the above. I know watching Brazilian porn is not my thing but watching stuff made in Brazil for Brazilians is pretty good.

I was wondering same but it seems there is no "universal" rule,which means you cant target all markets with same approach.Once someone said how french people will leave english site because they cant jerk off on english language.
Another thing what plays role is from where content is,apparently to target specific country you just need to also have models from that country.It's kind a crazy how some companies banking on one country and on other cant make sales no matter what simply because of geographic origin of models.

rofl nobody buys analog porn videos anymore

local companies are making money, because every nation loves something different, have a bit different payment methods and so on...

The people need to fap

Every country in Europe needs to have itīs own unique approach. Itīs fairly tricky to get it right and itīs simply tons and tons more work but itīs worth it.

Currently the majority of our sales are actually European but that has mostly to do with our product portfolio.
