porn should be booming right now. Depressed out of work executives whos trophy wives have left them should be buying all they can afford.

The porn industry’s problems these days come from the so-called “democratization of porn.” The big porn producers are being replaced by small producers of porn operating out of their homes. Rather than an industry made up of a handful of studios in the San Fernando Valley, porn is being produced by literally thousands of “mom and pop” operations.
