Portable porn: The next billion-dollar industry?
By LANCE GAY
Scripps Howard News Service
January 24, 2006

- The adult-entertainment industry has spotted another potentially lucrative venture: portable pornography.

Tied up in rush-hour traffic? How about downloading a little pornographic bump-and-grind on your camera-enabled cell phone to pass the time. Or perhaps you don't want those $2-an-episode offerings of "Desperate Housewives" for your new Apple video iPod. You could just as easily carry a sexy shortie for private viewing on the commuter train, or during your workplace break.

The prospect of a new revenue stream coming to a small screen very near to you is ringing bells in the adult-entertainment industry, which is convening the first-ever Mobile Adult Content Congress in Miami this week to discuss the pitfalls and potentially lucrative possibilities.

Dan Garza of Black Marlin Multimedia Group, which is sponsoring the event, said it's not just the adult-entertainment industry that is interested in the new technology, but gambling interests that would like to expand beyond Internet casino sites for new customers.

Garza said phone gambling is legal only in Nevada, but a new industry could soon be born from cell phones and iPods.

He said one purpose of the meeting - which has attracted more than 100 participants from the publishing, porn and phone industries - is to establish ground rules for how the industry will operate with the new technology. "We want to have the kids protected," Garza said.

Other speakers will talk about the future of the industry, which is expected to add to the troubles already faced by girlie magazines in the Internet age.

Garza noted that the technology requires people to call up and pay for the services to be downloaded, so some methods of age verification of customers, and other access controls, are already used.

Windsor Holden, an analyst for the technology monitoring organization Juniper Research, said that delivery of adult pornography to cell phones and mobile devices is in its infancy, but could develop into a $2 billion business by 2009. He said the international pornography business today brings in from $31 billion to $75 billion a year, if lap-dancing clubs, magazines and telephone sex lines are included.

"Adult will be one of the leading content types that will drive the initial use of mobile entertainment services," Holden said. He said early money already is being made on sex chats and erotic texting with virtual girlfriends, so "adding pictures can only be of benefit."

The federal government, which already is involved in protracted battles with irate parents over cable-TV pornography, says it is watching the developments in the industry.

"The FCC takes the issue seriously," said a Federal Communications Commission spokeswoman, who referred a reporter to an FCC fact sheet, which urges parents to monitor what their children are doing with their cell phones.

Pornography researchers say the United States has only begun to see the uses of pornography via mobile phones.

Among those signed up for the Miami event, Garza said, are representatives of magazines like Playboy, who realize they could lose their customer base if they don't stay ahead of technological developments.

Pamela Paul, author of the book "Pornified: How Pornography is Transforming Our Lives, Our Relationships and Our Families," believes mobile delivery of porn will become a big industry. She said there are already cases of car drivers watching porn on their car TV screens, even though it's a distracting safety hazard.

"It's happening," she said. "People say, 'Oh well, porn will never take off because the image is too small.' Fifteen years ago, if you asked people if they looked at pornography at their desks, they would be horrified. But today a huge number of men and women look at pornography in their office over the Internet."

For the cell-phone industry, porn is a way of attracting new clients and collecting fees for keeping them online longer. But Paul said the relationship with the porn industry is hidden behind different and sometimes interlocking companies so the industry can claim it has no responsibility for what people are doing with the equipment and the technology.

The FCC fact sheet notes that while blocking technology that parents can use is available for televisions and home computers, it is not for cell phones.

The wireless industry says it is working on filters to block adult content. "This is an issue we want to stay ahead of, and provide subscribers with the tools to deal with," said Joseph Fallen, a spokesman for CTIA - the Wireless Association.

isn't watching porn in a public place illegal? personally id prefer to keep the 24/7 porn addicts safely locked in their parents basements... the thought of them becoming mobile disturbs me.

Funny story.

Last year we took my buddies RV to Bristol TN for a NASCAR race. I would highly recommend going there if you enjoy partying with about 200 thousand rednecks. Anywhoo, we arrived on Friday night just as an event was ending at the track and got stuck in total gridlock traffic. The RV has a 42 inch Flatscreen right above the the driver in the center of the console. This affords anyone outside on the ground a good view of the TV when the blinds are open. My buddy decided this would be a funny time to put the porn channel on the satellite. We were not sure what would happen, if people would notice, be pissed or what. There were hundreds of people walking along the side of the road leaving the track, and it only took about 15 seconds for the action to begin. Guys started to notice, then they told the people with them. The next thing you know, we have a gang of about a hundred people standing on both sides of the RV cheering. They were handing us beers, their wives/girlfriends were showing us their tits, and people were loving it. Thankfully we were not moving at all, because my buddy the driver was getting a little worried about running people over. About 2-3 minutes in we moved about 100 feet, everyone followed us. My buddy really freaked out because there was a cop directing traffic right there. We pulled up next to the cop, and he was curious why all these people were walking along side our RV. He looked in the window and started cracking up, gave a little air hump with his hips, and just told the people on the drivers side of the RV to go on the other side and get out of the street. Needless to say the whole gang broke into an ovation when the guy blew his load into the chicks face, and we ended the show. Bottom line, we collected about 20 beers and saw approx 10 and a half titties.
good times...
