American culture during the past hot vax era has made them feel sexually adventurous, leading them to consume new forms of adult content. Adult entertainment is now an industry worth over $97 billion with numerous legal and logistical challenges:

Nebraska sociologist Kelsy Burke examines this phenomenon in her new book “American Pornography”, and will present on it at a public colloquium on April 28 in Lincoln.

Women Enjoy Doing It

Pornography is an industry with great financial rewards and many women enjoy working within it. While performing can bring great pride, and seeing their work reach audiences all around the globe can bring great satisfaction. But for others who do not see pornography as their career choice it can feel exploitative; women working within it rarely speak out about their experiences due to fear of blacklisting from future projects and discrimination by other industries; this lack of transparency prevents average consumers from accurately judging it as an industry.

At some point in their lives, most Americans admit to viewing pornographic material – whether on movies, DVDs or the Internet. Since the invention of VCR 25 years ago, adult entertainment has seen exponential growth.

Men are four times more likely than women to view pornography. Regular viewing can cause men to become less tolerant of monogamy in primary relationships and may lead to extramarital sexual activity. Addicts who find themselves stuck can get help through Sex Addicts Anonymous – a 12-step program offering meetings both locally as well as via Internet chat and telephone conference calls.

They Want To Be Attractive

Pornography has been around for more than 100 years. But its popularity in America surged during the 1990s with the Internet enabling easy production and distribution. Middle-class Americans could participate, fueling millions in profits that have created many new businesses. Homemade porn is very popular today, pornography generates billions in profits every year; its profits fueling innovation across industries.

This industry boasts all the hallmarks of legitimacy: trade publications, conventions and legal seminars are regularly hosted within it, along with major studios and stars like Jenna Jameson – former beauty queen turned showgirl/porn actress who earned over one million dollars last year by performing oral sex for money – along with its own trade publications, conventions and seminars.
