The $600 cheques, sent out as part of the Economic Stimulus Plan in the US to help boost the economy, have helped the Internet Porn Industry.  Probably not the economic growth George Bush was planning on.  According to AIMRCo, an independent market research company, sales have increased for many adult sites since these cheques were received.

According to Kirk Mishkin, Head Research Consultant for AIMRCo, "Many of the sites we surveyed have reported 20-30% growth in membership rates since mid-May when the checks were first sent out, and typically the summer is a slow period for this market."

Jillian Fox, spokeswoman for LSGmodels.com, one of the sites reporting figures to AIMRCo, added, "In a June 15, 2008 survey to our members, thirty two percent of respondents referenced the recent stimulus package as part of their decision to either become a new member, or renew an existing membership."
