A consequence could be the industry goes more virtual using CGI and AI. This way the financial rewards go more to everyone on the team, not just the people at the top, or the lead actors and singers. Coders become the superstars.

Not looking forward to it. That would be dismal entertainment.

Not asking for good sources for porn. There is plenty of porn online and most of us know it. Adult industry is a very big both wrt online transactions and as a business sector.

I consider it an essential sector. A good safe and valid adult entertainment industry will keep domestic violence, human trafficking, violent crimes, sex crimes and sexually transmitted diseases under check. It is one industry that is ready for disruption esp with robotics and AR/VR.

Societies that aren’t repressed and prudish towards sex are less violent..especially if it’s not a totalitarian govt running it.

I know at least two women in my farming community who had to leave home because of domestic violence and in both cases, it was sexual violence. With lower employment expected post covid and more men likely staying at home, this becomes an urgent industry to develop.

Other than the hedonistic aspect of porn. That’s always nice, but not necessarily essential sector.
