all was going well over food and drinks until he mentioned porn
So there I was minding my business riding thru the old neighborhood and saw an old friend outside that I had not seen in years.
I pull over and say hey old friend how ya been? Old friend responds and says I am great...could not be better...why not stop in for a drink and some catching up! I say sure old friend I have some time to spare so I certainly oblige and we venture into his back yard to sit and chat over a brewskie. Well conversation was going great talking about business, family, neighbors, yadda yadda yadda... then he proceeds to tell me that the good lord has helped him turn over a new leaf! I say sure man go ahead and testify tell me how the good lord has helped you lately. He says well my chronic drinking was a deal killer and burden for my friends and family for at least 10 years or more and now instead of drinking 6-7 beers a day he drinks 2-3 beers a week and no longer drinks because he needs to but drinks because he chooses to during social gatherings. I say that is great news I am happy to hear that the lord certainly seems to help those who help themselves. He says yeah and guess what else the good lord has helped me with....? I say please tell... Old friend says....well I used to have a really bad porn habit, but the good Lord has *ALL* but taken the urge from me anymore and now I get tons of porn links in my email box but I instead of pressing open I now press delete! As he says this he looks at me and says I am sorry did I hit a nerve or something???! I politely chuckle and say yes you did but that is another story for another day. He says that he used to seek out internet porn all the time but it is now a thing of the past. I say to him...Great you are now a holier than thou anti-porno guy! As hard as I work to get new porn email leads in this motha fucka and you wanna sit there and impress Jesus by refusing to click on new porno links!!! It's because of ass wipes like you that I have to watch my sales ratios and my business decline! How fucking dare you you selfish son of a bitch! I threw my drink in the grass and said have a nice day! Call me when you decide to come off your got damn high horse and decide to become a real cock stroker again! He said gee I really must have hit a nerve! No wonder adult business is starting to suck...got damn self righteous middle aged white men deciding for themselves that they know what is best for their own dicks! fucking makes me sick! oh to add insult to injury he also tells me that since he quit porn his HVAC business has gone thru the roof and he did his first 7 figure year in sales this past 2014 fucking great for him! |

So porn links are still inboxing and you're upset about one grouchy guy who seems to struggle with addiction in many forms? (and wouldn't bother to mention deleting if that's really what he does - maybe he just uses porn at social gatherings?)
Look on the bright side. You can't convert everybody, the fact that you are reaching the inbox at all is great news. |
Spam him with HVAC supplies emails instead, then. You're an affiliate marketer, adapt with the times. :upsidedow

Cool story and all but ultimately no more than a silly tale of misdirected anger as in order for it to be justified you would have to determine AT LEAST the following. And I say 'at least' because while there may be additional metrics, I don't want to have to waste another second thinking about it.
* % of 18 y/o legitimately devout Christians during peak earning time frame Vs. % of 18 y/o legitimately devout Christians in the current time frame * % of adult Born-Again Christians during your peak earning time frame Vs. % of adult Born-Again Christians in the current time frame It's hard to say for certain whether or not either % has increased, but my guess would be that both have remained somewhat stagnant and this have had zero-to-little impact on sales. |

I am not really too worried about him, I actually really like the guy, and think whatever improvements he has made in his life with being a christian are great for him. I just could not help but to illustrate yet another reason why sales could be impacted with so many folks finding their way to christ these days and resisting the urge to give in to the devils temptations! How do you guys feel knowing you work for the devil by selling devils food to innocent believers? |

Nice lead-in to the age-old "how do you guys feel about being evil pornographers corrupting the innocent believers?" question though. Only roughly 5000 threads about it. My answer? Simple. Porn isn't the enemy of the 'riteous'. Temptation is. Nothing wrong with a little fast food now and again. Nothing wrong with placing a bet or buying a lotto ticket either. Nor is it godawful to check out some spank material here or there. But lose control of your urges and you'll find yourself fat, broke, and crosseyed. (like a lot of adult webmasters come to think of it) The good news? He'll be back. |

Something tells me he is going to get an email one day with a subject heading that he must see to believe.....then humpty dumpty will have a great fall! I just hope it is an email to one of my programs that he just cannot resist LOL Its still a funny story to me, after all the threads in this database about reasons sales are declining, and never once has anyone offered this explanation as reason for sales decline. I see 4 times more churches when I drive thru areas now then there were 10 years ago so Jesus must be taking back all of our leads :1orglaugh:1orglaugh |

Fuck that! That being said if there was a REAL devil and he wanted me to sell my soul to be a superstar in the porn site biz I'd be all in! So Devil if you are reading GFY, hit me up. :winkwink::1orglaugh |
