  • Increased Adult Content and Harder Core Pornography
    Sean Hannon Williams The Parallel Trends of Increased Adult Content in Mainstream Media and Harder Core Pornography: A Tale of Market Failure? INTRODUCTION Over the past fifteen years, mainstream media increasingly incorpo- rated pornographic references and themes into its content. This occurred on broadcast television, mainstream cable stations, billboards, and in print advertising. During a similar period, the adult industry’s video production skyrocketed from 1,500 new titles per year to more than 11,000. Many of these films depicted increasingly hard core acts, which the industry felt were necessary to satisfy customer demand. Although pleasingly parallel, these trends are probably not directly related. Rather, the shift to harder core pornography can most likely be traced to competition among direc- tors and actors to differentiate their work from other adult films. Part I describes the proliferation of pornography and sex in main- stream media. There are a substantial number of explicitly pornographic ref- erences in broadcast television, cable televisions, movies, and advertising. Part II documents the current financial state of the pornography industry. The pornography industry makes $10 billion per year. Reverberations between the content of mainstream media and the content of pornography would thus have a huge financial impact. Part III documents the shift toward harder core material in the pornography industry. Plot-driven pornography has been on the decline. Plotless all-sex films are now the norm. These so-called “gonzo” films often contain much more violence, and more hard core sex acts such as double penetration, fisting, and urination. Part IV examines each trend, and discusses the relationships between these parallel trends.
