Amid tough times, the industry’s largest convention, the Adult Video Network’s Adult Entertainment Expo, hits Las Vegas today with steady fan attendance and a host of challenges on the exhibit floor.

AVN’s four-day expo is expected to lure adult stars, about 25,000 visitors and 250-plus exhibitors showcasing the latest in adult novelties, DVDs and technology.

But aside from economic problems, porn professionals are confronting changing times in the industry with a new presidential administration, the ongoing threat of Internet pirating and challenges of marketing not-so-essential adult products during a recession.

Adult Entertainment Expo spokesman Sean Devlin said despite the tough economic climate, the mood on the eve of the Vegas convention was mostly upbeat.

Good, Let Porn Go Belly Up, Bankrupt

I like women
I like women with no clothes with me in private
Porn is poison
don't think so?
how do teenage girls now dress?
how do they act?
Do you want your mother, sister or daughter in this industry or taking their social cues from this?

If it makes them happy or gets them much needed money, why not. My only qualm would be it wouldn't be fun to stumble into some porn they've done.

Porn has been around since the beginning of civilization, and will be around long after we die. It's a natural, wonderful thing!

We could use a less sexually uptight society. Those puritans lived a dreadful lifestyle.

Disease and Teen Pregnancy for Everyone!

Theft has also been around for a long time. So we should not combat it?

No one said a puritan society.

Probably with the rise in the porn industry has come.
Increased teen pregnancy
Increased sexually transmitted disease
Breakdown of the family
Prostitution

You mention porn is ok if one needs the money? I think it is very bad for society if people value money over more healthy relationships.

Do you think porn stars are likely to make good family members? Would you marry a porn star to have kids with?

Porn is a cause and barometer of the breakdown of the family.

It's very simple
prostitution is illegial
porn is paid sex
