The rates you listed are about 10% higher than I am aware of. However, for the most part, you are right on with your estimates.

For the DVD industry to survive you have to contemplate several other factors. The internet/VOD aspect as been cannabalizing DVD sales. Why buy a DVD of 5 scenes for $19.95 or even $29.95 when you can buy a website membership such as Bang Bros for the same price and literally get 100s of scenes or join HotMovies and pay .08 by the minute.

I think gonzo will be an exclusive internet genre and features will taking up much more self space in the adult stores in the coming years.

I also think there will be forces increasing the rates of the top notch performers, those with the ability to act and have sex on camera. In the inverse, those performers that can only do gonzo, their rates will decline but they will actually get more work.

From some of the mainstream actresses Ive talked to it appears we might be on the verge of an influx of talent who can act first and have sex on camera second, but their rates will be much higher, if not mean points on the backend.

Thats when adult will really "cross-over." We are obviously already seeing it with the celebrity sex tapes. Its just a matter of time until more B level actresses who are tired of making $50,000 a year trying to be a star give up and cross over to make $500,000 a year.
