because the sex industry and retail are completely different entities and are not hit the same by recession

Really? You have comparative figures then I assume?

you could try telling that to the website owners who have gone out of business or the licensed sex shops which have closed down - including those operated by the chains. and besides i'm not talking about a recession simply a change in what people want or getting fed up with a product which doesn't involve and going to another shop to try something different.

The sex industry used to be considered immune to economic factors; no longer it seems:

Besides how would you judge the cause of the downturn in the babe shows? There are so many factors in play. How could you say it has been more to do with the regulations than the recession?

because that is the reason i heard from people running porn sites. my bad if they gave me bad intel, but i think they would know

Tube sites? Maybe they are more protected from recession by virtue of having stolen the thunder of the old porn industry? Besides that is still not data on the babe channels is it? Useful information and probably comparable but who knows.

Over half — 51 percent — of adult video views will take place on mobile this year, up for 48 percent last year. Mobile adult subscriptions will reach nearly $1 billion this year; while mobile adult content and services overall will hit $2.8 billion.
