After rough 2013, porn studios look for a better year

[Jesus Malverde]

2013 couldn't have gone much worse for the porn industry.

The DVD business, once the lifeblood of adult film producers, dwindled even further. Legal challenges over mandatory condom laws continued to dog the industry. And porn companies were forced to shut down production three times after four performers tested positive for HIV.

As the industry prepares for the Adult Entertainment Expo, its annual trade show in Las Vegas, the question on everyone's mind is: What does 2014 have in store?

No one's sure, of course, but some insiders are cautiously optimistic that the worst is over.

1. Am I supposed to feel bad here?

[FarCenter]

2. Hasn't porn been done?

Is there any new and imaginative porn coming out of the industry?

[NightWatcher]

3. I'm writing a script where a lady orders a pizza but has no cash to pay the delivery driver..

[DetlefK]

8. What if she ordered the pizza to be made with a sexually explicit sounding topping?

Like a pickle or banana.

4. Brony Porn

[FarCenter]

6. Yes, and there is monster porn and tentacle porn

But are condom laws affecting monsters and cephalopods?

10. Aural sex.

Two fully-clothed people sitting on separate ends of a couch, writhing in ecstasy as they have sex via their auras touching.

(Sadly, auras are invisible and therefore cannot be seen in the shot.)

5. Toe-tapping extramarital diaper sex with hookers in bathroom stalls - would be a hit

Republicons give that kinds stuff a STANDING O. Porno Pimps could make a bodacious boodle of Republicon moneybucks with that kinda flick.

7. ah, sweet irony, the internet which enabled its spread

is now making it impossible to make profits.

the only concerns is that the more extreme stuff ( in terms of violence and misogyny) becomes the avenues for commercial exploitation

[Upton]

9. They'll have to get real creative..

why pay for something when you can get all you need for free online?

[Vashta Nerada]

11. Exactly.

12. Ah, CNBC

Considering how much they get wrong on the economy in general, I'll trust them to shoot straight with me on the porn industry. Trusted folks, all around with this network.
