i've have yet to see a single professional organization for the adult internet, other than maybe www.asacp.org.
related topic: does anyone remember that one adult online 'union' from many years past? if you joined them, you'd get better deals on bw, content etc - what were they called?

Are you a member of the Free Speech Coalition? They are an adult industry trade organization that accepts adult webmaster as well. They are active in lobbying at the state and national level, they work with free speech groups and lawyers all over the U.S., and they help out adult industry people who get into legal trouble. I've been a member for a while, been to some meetings, talked to some of the people who run the organization, and they seem legit to me.
They are not a "webmaster" organization, though. They are an "adult industry" organization. I can't think of any web specific organizations that are well organized and well run right now. Maybe there aren't any yet. This is a brand new industry, less than 10 years old. Once things start to mature, I would either expect to see a number of groups form, or to see adult webmasters become more involved in the umbrella "adult industry" trade groups.
