Comment on Ask YC: Would you fund an adult themed start up?

You're going to face a lot of problems, mostly cultural ones.

Porn sites are like the "your parents have sex" realization in Internet business terms. We all know it's there and it happens, but we like to put our fingers in our ears over it. Even though most of us here are surely regular purveyors of pornography, not many people of a certain class/culture or over a certain age want to admit it or acknowledge they like porn. This love/hate relationship makes it easy to get traffic but hard to succeed (whether financially or to just get funding).
