The survey for this month is about whether or not you watch porn on your phone. Take a look at the upper right corner of the page and please cast your vote.

The porn industry has been talking about this new untapped market of porn users on mobile phones for years and years. I'm still not convinced there is any money to be made from it yet, so I want to hear from consumers. I actually put the question on all three of my sites, Lavender Lounge, Muscle Bear Cub and Vintage Bareback. So for the results are small, but it's clear that users are NOT watching porn on their phones - at least not yet.

Why it that?

-Screen sizes of phones are too small.

-Phone connections are too slow or unpredictable.

-Not enough gay porn sites are optimized for phones.

-"I have an iPhone and most gay porn videos won't play." (Flash video doesn't work on iPhones).

The videos on my websites are all done in Flash, so in order to get them to work on iPhones and iPads, I'd have to create separate files just for Apple users and pay a programmer to make it work on my site. Before I go through all that, I want to see if it is worth it.

Besides voting in the survey on the top left, you can also leave you Comments below.

Thanks, guys!

I don't quite understand the results of the Lavender Lounge survey for January 2010. I asked the question "Do you prefer spending time at porn websites or dating websites?" First of all, there were a very small number of responses, which is odd. Second of all, 100% of those that did respond said they prefer porn sites. 

Does that mean if I put that survey on a dating site the results would be opposite? Or should I be encouraged to know I am in the right business? Or maybe the key phrase of the question was "spending time". Every gay man I know belongs to several dating sites. Perhaps the results reflect fact that when they want to hook up, they want to do it as fast as possible and move on. When they want to look at porn, it's more like zoning out in front of the TV for long stretches of time.

The survey question for February 2010 is rather important to help me choose the direction of Lavender Lounge and my company in general. I need to know if the effort I put into writing, spelling, grammar, and choosing the right blog items is time well spent, so please cast your votes.
