Some will die, some will retire, and others will lose touch with progressive constituencies. Whatever happens, the outcome will be the same - younger politicians, who grew up with the internet, will be elected, and be much more sympathetic toward the needs of the online adult industry - lets face it, both of the regulations you mentioned aren't meant to attack local adult bookstores.
Also, the younger generation sees sexual promiscuity and pornography as being more acceptable in principle, and thus won't crusade against the behavior of adults in their own home.
Years ago, when I was younger (read: 13-16), I was that "one kid" who everyone could depend on for computer service when they were having trouble. As such, I frequently dealt with browser caches looking for sources of viruses, and later, spyware, and I came into contact with everybody's internet history. I found that adults viewed way more porn than kids, but were much less forthcoming about it, and tried to cover it up with a paranoid degree of thoroughness
Those are the sort of people with repressed urges, but would never be caught dead in an adult bookstore.
I think the assault on the online adult industry is a generational thing, and will pass. In the meantime, its important to stand firm for the rights of legitimate adult webmasters and producers to cater to other adults who want to view such material.
