The Butter Stick

The United States economy of the 21^st century has hit a new low with the current economic recession. Surprisingly, the latest industry to suffer is the porn and sex industry, which is outsourced daily by cheaper “sex slaves” in Asia and Latin America and by the changing preferences of the American consumer.

More and more Americans, especially middle aged, white, blue-collar workers look to the cheapest form of sexual pleasure. This, often enough, is made and produced by unregulated Asian and Latin American markets. Furthermore, foreign fetishes invariably develop. Online studies that track repeating and unique hits (or the number of new visitors to a web page) state that the top ten most visited American domain names of the online porn industry have exponentially decayed an enormous 56% in unique hits and 22% in total revenue since 2006. The Playboy Magazine alone has lost more than 29,000 subscriptions since its July 2007 issue while the Asian Sex Gazette and Asian Beauties Magazine both gained a total of 15,700 print subscriptions and an exponential amount of web traffic.

Sex.com owner, Gary Kremen, who is also the famous owner of Match.com has recorded a growing number of visitors clicking links leading to Latin American or Asian sex sites. He is also quoted stating that “more and more hookups occur between Asian American women and Caucasian males rather than the former white man, white woman status quo relationships” when asked about the Match.com situation.

In a recorded phone conversation, former Playboy owner, Hugh Hefner stated he likes “Asian [expletive] and [expletive] but white women just have more [expletive] and can [expletive] very well.”

“This is ridiculous to say the least,” furiously stated Tom Imus, unemployed producer and co-director of the now out of business Grab Anklez Co., an xxx-rated adult video company. “My last movie, the one we invested everything in, didn’t even get nominated for the AVN Awards (Adult Video News Awards – the Oscars of porn).”

Many in the adult industries believe this to be an unfair cause of the American economy straining and marginalizing their products from the market. The “right wingers,” “Catholics,” and “conservatives” are often blamed for trying to cover up indecency, but when one takes into account the filth and immoral (mixed sex and mixed race) porn produced that degrades Christian America, who is the real criminal? The industry categorically believes “low paid sex slaves” of Asia and Latin America are true victims and that President Bush should be subsidizing the industry as well as putting tariffs on adult imports or products featuring anything but the norm.

Don Bareilly, senior economist at the Oregon Center for Economic Studies, states otherwise: “The [porn] industry faltering is not the fault of an economic recession, but happens to be one of the causes for it.” Bareilly concluded that the “unregulated affairs and actions” of the industry allow for marketers to target audiences and consumers with varying tastes. For example, the prostitutes of Latin America cost less than an American prostitute because wages differ on supply and demand as well as the GDP of a nation.

How long must America put up with the porn industry taking to the streets in protest? With how much indecency will our Christian society degrade for some petty immoral sins? Why is the porn industry not banned yet in this, the 21^st century?
