"Theres no Business like Porn Business"

When I first got asked to write about the Porn industry I was a little embarrassed, mainly because being a girl we are not as open when it comes to talking about sex or porn. Little did I know its a business that earns $10 billion to $14 billion in annual sales! Its only when you take a minute to look around, porn is everywhere, on our televisions in the form of TV advertisements, in magazines and of course the dedicated porn channels and DVDs. But what I found funny was, when I was on my way into work and the bus stopped in traffic and bam, right in the middle of Dorset Street was a little "Adult Entertainment"  DVD shop, oh and they have a mini cinema.
It does really prove the point that sex sells. According to statistics Americans spent $4billion on renting and buying adult natured DVD's last year alone. The funny thing about that obscure figure, like normal DVD's people are buying less and downloading more. In 2001 alone there were 22.9million unique visitors to porn sites, and that number is growing on a daily basis. Another amusing fact is this figure is more than the visitors that visited news sites, finance sites or greeting card sites in the same year.

Another great thing about the porn industry is the development of the internet, video streaming, live chat, video conferencing and affiliated networks. The porn industry also were the ones to come up with geographical location and adult check verification. Up until the research I did for this blog and the information I received in E-business, I would have never thought that such advances would have come from the porn industry.
 Like many others out there I associated the porn industry with negative thoughts, such a child porn and lonely perverts. But my opinion has changed, because Porn has done so much for internet technology. Oh and I have a greater sense of value for the industry since finding out its worth billions.

Heres a little song, thought it was appropriate :D
