There's a multitude of reasons for porn stores to stay around.

A. You can buy porn with cold hard cash. That's important to a lot of people.

B. People like the tactile experience of shopping. Almost everything can be purchased online these days, but isn't always. I own probably close to 1000 Hollyood DVDs, and I love going to a movie store and shopping for them as opposed to buying online.

C. Toys as stated above are much better purchased in person.

D. There's something people like about being surrounded by porn in a porn shop, it gets your pulse going knowing that you are merely an hour or so away from Girlvert 13!

E. You can browse much easier in a store than online.

F. You can get your product immediately without waiting for a crappy quality download or Sasha Grey to arrive in your mailbox.

I could go on.

Yes, there are stores that have charged waaaaay too much for waaaaay too long. I constantly blog about this and try to educate stores about this. If you aren't pricing your product comparable to the internet and reasonable for people's budgets you are going to go out of business plain and simple. Apathy killed most brick and mortar stores, they have no one to blame but themselves. But there are great stores out there with great prices and selection. Problem is they aren't in every area, so until we have a Dreamers or a Taboo Video or a Fairvilla in every area, some areas are going to suffer.

Might want to thank the brick and mortar stores out there that are successful and doing things right because that's how every studio is staying in business. If you took that away and all they had were online purchases and VOD, no one would still be in business and you'd wind up with nothing new online but cheap, crappy quality home videos uploaded to tube sites, that while the amateurish quality can be appealing for a bit, will ultimately leave you unsatisfied.
