Sexual Preference and Porn

                The pornography industry acts as a catalyst for teens, young adults, and even middle aged adults to truly explore their sexual likes and dislikes.  Those who are ignorant will simply say that pornography consists of people taking off their close and having sex on camera.  On a very basic level this is true about porn, however the industry as a whole does so much more.  It does a fantastic job at recognizeing the differing demands and produces a style of pornography that will appeal to a specific group.  This business in some ways can be all things to all people.  Individual companies within the industry will pick one type of niche and target it aggressively.  The people working behind the scenes of these companies are true geniuses.  The reason I say this is because as stated before we all have different tastes and preferences.  The idea men/women of these companies continue to find ways to satisfy different sexual fantasies that our population demands.  The pornography industry did $13 billion dollars in revenue in 2006 and consists of approximately 12% of all online websites (Ropelato).  It is a business, like it or not that is expanding at an incredible rate.  Unless legislation places restriction on the types of pornography that can be released on video or streamed via internet, this is not an industry that is endanger of slowing down any time soon.  The only thing I could see happening in the future is that market share will continue to diversify as more competitors enter the industry since it is so easy to make a website, film a video, and charge a membership fee to those who want to view the site.  It is these emerging websites that allow individual sexual fantasy to become somewhat of a reality.
