This goes back to the 80s. In an effort to find an income producing job for my wife, I bought into a franchise for move rentals. Neighborhood stuff, not Blockbuster. She opened at ten and she closed at ten. We had a Chinese girl working for us. The rental business was good and it made a little money.

She and I went to a convention for video rental business. At the convention I spoke to a man who said that for every dollar you made renting plain vanilla you made fifteen dollars renting X rated movies. Just partition the store, have a dark room with no windows, and put the porn there. And hire a woman to be the cashier back there. Do not hire a man.

We found out why you hire a woman. The rental business for porn was during the day, not at night. It was housewives who rented the movies, took them home, watched them and returned them that same day. The Chinese lady spent a whole lot of her time rewinding those movies. Some ladies came and rented the same movie over and over, the Chinese lady pretended not to speak English. We tripled the take on our store. There wasn't any type of porn that rented better than any other, at that time there wasn't that much lesbian or gay porn, but there was teen girl, coed, and of course lots of BDSM.

Too bad that Blockbuster took over the corner video store, and now you have everything on the internet. But I bet the same housewives are watching porn, they just don't have to feel bad about not rewinding the tape.

Of course I never asked my wife if she ever watched any of those videos.
