There is a new movement in the article site community that could be the wave of the future. Niche article sites featuring mostly adult articles and stories are springing up all over the place. It is an interesting variation on the article site and it was only a matter of time before someone launched such sites. One such site has a name that evokes all sorts of dirty imagery: Triple X Articles. It is a bit of a misnomer when you dig into the site. The articles are tamer than you might think covering everything from dating to bachelor parties and from poker to addiction.



The reality is that these sites are not focused exclusively on adult content but they have removed the barriers that are traditionally present on other article sites. Those barriers are the primary reason for the explosive growth. With few other doors open to adult content writers the Niche Sites act as magnets

Sure there are some nasty tid-bits on adult friendly article sites but that is bound to happen. Even the most mainstream user created content sites wind up with some porn on them. Articles posing to be about sexual dysfunction are just ads for Viagra or porn sites. Articles with online dating tips point users to some of the top adult dating programs online. Adult article sites are different because they meet the challenge head on by inviting the adult community to contribute rather than forcing them to find a way around the obstacles.

The important question is whether this new type of article site will divert some of the smut away from article sites that prefer not to publish adult content. The hope is that by creating a ?porn ghetto? all of the trash will run downhill. The jury is still out on that question and it may take months or even years before the answer becomes clear. Even so, having alternative outlets and marketing avenues is bound to relieve some of the pressure on mainstream article sites.

A quick scan of the terms of service of sites like Triple X Articles reveals that it is not a complete free for all. There are some rules about what will and will not be published. For example, there is a zero tolerance policy towards child pornography and bestiality. Furthermore, anything considered illegal or distasteful by the editor is immediately deleted. Taste is relative and what appeals to some may offend others but the law is clear about what is and is not acceptable. It is safe to assume that people who run sites like Triple X Articles will want to avoid legal problems so it is in everyone's interest to keep it safe and legal.

It is too soon to say how this new breed of article site will impact the overall article site community but one would hope that it will help to clean things up and clearly define the line between adult content and family friendly content so that everyone can find what they are looking for.
