.xxx is here and here to stay.
Unless it remains just another TLD and Governments in countries that matter don't legislate it's mandatory use for all porn.
This will be hard. Because what is porn in one country isn't in another, how do you impose it on companies based in different countries and what about pirate sites that link or host porn?
Then the thorny question of a Government legislating the use of a private held TLD.
Even so, what if all online porn has to stop at the level of Playboy or Perfect 10. Not the style, just the porn level. What will be the effect?
Offline porn will explode, simply explode and become even bigger than it was. The millions of men who now are habitually getting their dose of online porn will seek it out offline. Porn is a stimulant to masturbation which releases a pheromone into the brain which results in a good feeling. Porn isn't the drug, it's the syringe. But it's needed.
So not all these men will go looking for offline porn, but a significant number will and offline porn will boom.
The odds on legislation are slim and that's all you have to worry about. The rest is just people stoking up unnecessary fear. Because without legislation, .xxx is probably dead in the water.
With it and no restrictions, it will mean those that can't afford it can go look for a new job. Sounds heartless but no one online cared about offline porn losing money because of online porn. No one online cared about non exclusive stores losing money as sites went exclusive.
It's business.
Adapt or die.
