NEW YORK – I’m not one to leap to outrageous conclusions based on just a couple similar stories appearing in the press, but some recent news items have me concerned about the state of the market for a class of product which is central to the ongoing health of the adult industry....

LOS ANGELES – About a month ago, I threatened promised I’d soon write an obligatory porn-predictions post for 2018, as a companion piece to my obligatory year-in-review of 2017, naturally. The time for that post has come, because the conditions are perfect – by which I mean it’s...
