People do claim porn is recession proof. I think it was playboy who had its highest subscription numbers during the last one. I also know assorted forms of cheap entertainment typically burlesque and other naughty types did well during the great depression.
However today it is much different. People really do not have to pay to play anymore so paying for it is a luxury now and not an escape or even close to mandatory. There is enough free porn floating about to keep one man and his hand busy for a decade long recession.
Not sure if you caught the little news story about the Wal Mart that opened up. They placed two obscure print ads. Much to their surprise they got well over 10,000 applications for 350 jobs. Those little unemployment numbers people throw around have been altered so much they have nothing at all to do with reality either so do not buy the whole 5% crap or whatever number they are claiming right now.
