Guide to Online Porn
Being an industry expert, as it were, people ask me again and again…
“I want to try this site but I’m afraid to give them my credit card info.”
This to me is probably one of the weirdest questions i’ve heard to date. I am more hesitant to give my credit card info to the desperate looking waitress who gave me my food at Chili’s than I am to give it to a large adult company’s credit card processor.
The purpose of this guide is to explain in detail the ins and outs of purchasing porn on the internet.
It is unsafe to give my credit card information to a website
This is very rarely ever the case for adult sites. Most adult sites use what is called a “merchant” account at a large nationwide credit card processing company. Ibill, CCbill, Paycom, and a handful of others who make a living at charging cards for internet services.
These companies work VERY closely with the credit card companies to prevent fraud, to make sure that chargebacks from unsatisfied customers are at a minimum.
Because of the neccesity of these merchant accounts and keeping the processors happy, almost all porn website owners are extremely careful to make sure that the customer is satisfied. If they lose their merchant account, they lose their business. This can mean millions to some of the larger companies.
Porn is Too EXPENSIVE!
Not really. Most pornsites give you a 3-5 day trial for less than you paid for your combo meal at mcdonalds. 3.95, 4.95, 5.95… less than the price of most movies. Porn trials are cheap and effective way to see whats on the inside of a site you’re interested in without spending too much.
furthermore, 29.95 or 39.95 a month is pocket change for most americans. Most adult DVD’s run in the 25 dollar range, and they’re not interactive, dynamic websites. They’re just 2 hour discs. No movies to download, no pic sets to drool over, and no interaction with real live porn models via webcam.
If you’re renting or buying porn dvd’s, or god forbid magazines, and have never tried an adult website because of price? you might well deserve to be losing the money value.
Those trials are a rip off!
No, they’re not. But, if you decide you dont want to go into the regular billing cycle you have to cancel your membership during the trial.
All of the details of your membership and the rebill process will be included in the email sent to you by the credit card processor. In addition, canceling your membership is generally easy enough to where most monkeys could do it for you.
again, NO ONE wants you to spend money you dont want to spend. This upsets customers, which upsets processors, which upsets business.
