How Big Is Porn?

Recently, much attention has been lavished on the pornography industry?as a business?and many have claimed it is large and profitable, especially on the Internet. Many of the claims are cut from whole cloth, but are accepted without question by the legitimate press.

Skepticism is in order, though, because as David Klatell, associate dean of the Columbia Graduate School of Journalism notes, ?[Pornography] is an industry where they exaggerate the size of everything.? The fact is pornography, or ?adult entertainment,? is as marginal now as it ever was.

All told, the adult video business takes in anywhere from one-tenth to one-half the figure proffered by Adult Video News. Certainly, self-interested statements by pornographers merit a second look.
