You might have noticed that in general I’m doing a lot less promotion of commercial porn and other affiliate products here on ErosBlog. Partly this is the yields of futility; when there’s not so very much porn-buying going on, for all the reasons we’ve discussed at length in other posts, why “junk up the place” with marketing posts? And partly it’s because your steady Patreon support gives me a bit of breathing room, supporting at least partially my costs of operation and giving me the sense that it’s OK to focus on the kinds of posts that make me (and hopefully you) the most happy. Which is why, these days, if you see an affiliate link on a porn photo it’s very often there because it gives me rights to publish a photo that I otherwise wouldn’t have permission to publish, or wouldn’t have access to in the first place.

That said, I do notice that sales sometimes do still “perk up” at two of the old stalwart companies that I’ve been doing business for almost twenty years — since before I was a sex blogger — whenever they run one of their heavy-discount sales around one of our national holidays. I’m talking about Kink.com and The Stockroom. Whenever they run a big sale and I link to them, my stats show that some of you like to take advantage of the unusually-good bargains. So I consider such posts to be “reader service” as much as anything else.
