the truth is ordinary, consensual appearing adult hardcore isn't going anywhere in the usa, and it doesn't matter what jerry falwell or pat robertson says.
the reason is simple. america has due process, and college students sit on juries these days.
and these college kids will laugh the government prosecutor right out of the courtroom if he tries to tell them a girl their age sucking dick is "obscene". remember this is the MTV generation that doesn't even think fellatio is "sex".
that genie has been out of the bottle for a very long time now. and that's why federal prosecutors don't want to deal with these kinds of cases---because they spend time in court rooms and have been belly to belly with actual juries, and know the demographics of jury pools. actual prosecutors aren't politicians, they live in the real world, and they know how cases are going to go before they try them---and they sure don't like to take a case they know they will lose---it's the worst thing they can do for their professional careers.
there are only so many peremptory challenges allowed, and you just can't get a jury to convict this stuff (ordinary consensual appearing adult hardcore).
now for content that you can't find in any small town adult video outlet it's a different story---but that is only maybe 1% of porn in the usa. that might be convictable, but even that is a grey area if the producer can provide model releases and proper 2257 docs. (extreme associates).
very tough in a free society to criminalize visual depictions of consensual acts between adults.
might be easier to bring democracy and "freedom" to a bunch of camel jockeys on the other side of world.
