Downturn? What downturn? Sales of Kama Sutra products and online dating memberships soar

Interesting New York Daily News story - it looks as if these are still great niches to be in!

    If nothing else you need still more sex and love in a economic recession (quickly turning into a ugly depression) to avoid having a (psychologic) depression.

    So some markets will flourish in rough times while most others will dwindle.

      Did you think it would be a bad time because of the economy? I'm promoting Win Back Love and it's doing very well. People always need love, money, sex, and problems solved. They also need entertainment. It's interesting to me that during past recessions, people have still paid to see movies. I think box office is down comparatively this year but people are still going in droves to see movies. I guess during tough economic times it helps to escape for couple hours.

    when the economy goes down..what happens? people look for ways to feel better.

    sex and drugs become popular ways to make the bad parts of the world go away.

    I would bet that if you wanted to start some kind of niche about how to cook up coke into crack, it would probably do fantastic.

      I'm pretty sure that info is available for free on the internet.

      Yeah, I know during the Depression people still flocked to the movies even though many didn't know where their next meal was coming from.
