Perspective: The adult industry can survive without government help. Here’s why.
In many respects, the adult community is better situated than other industries to undertake such an effort. For over a half-century, it has worked together to fight for its First Amendment rights and advocate for the health and safety of performers in the face of concerted government campaigns to censor and undermine it.
By the late 1960s, sex was increasingly making its way into public view through a rapidly expanding sexual consumer culture and “adults only” media, such as— plot-driven films featuring sensuous strip teases and naked women — art cinema and low-budget sexploitation films.
In 1969, as the commission studied, a group of adult film producers, distributors and exhibitors founded the, becoming what one of its founders cheekily described as a kind of “Nudie NATO.” Concerned about ongoing harassment from law enforcement, including vice raids and arrests of theater owners, one of the group’s first actions was to hire three leading First Amendment attorneys who put together a legal kit for members.
While some claim to be driven by public health concerns, others argue such measures are an effort to destroy the industry by making it more difficult to work.The organization of the adult industry itself has also changed dramatically over the past two decades. Due to various economic and technological shifts, including the 2008 economic crash, rampant piracy and the availability of free Internet porn, the traditional studio system has waned.
