Yes, but it now allows for a plethora of new domains to be registered. Type anything marginally sex-related and put .com on the end and I assure you it's already taken; new websites would either need very long or non-obvious domain names.

Additionally, .xxx reinforces the point of the site: leather.xxx is pretty obvious, n'est-ce pas?

The problem is that anyone who has foo.com has right of first refusal on foo.xxx, so .xxx will mostly end up as a mirror of a subset of .com.
