Tech: Guy on new .xxx domains: “It’s been a long time coming”

  • It’s been a long time coming … The decision should soon bring to fruition our six-year effort to create a specific Web address for online adult entertainment, and comes on the heels of an independent review that declared that ICANN’s previous decision to deny dot-xxx was wrong.
  • ICM Registry Chairman Stuart Lawley • Cheering the decision to allow new .xxx domains specifically for porn sites. Wait … is that really what he said in that first line? That sounds like the kind of dirty joke that he’s probably been saving up for this moment. He also claimed to be “excited” by the move. Can we just call Stuart Lawley a double-entendre machine already? source

Tech: Adult entertainment continues its long history of tech innovation

  • Every step of the way, when there’s a new technology, we explore it. In the adult business, many times the traditional venues are not available to us, so we have to be innovative to get our content to the consumer. With adult content, you need to create your own solutions.
  • Private Media Group CEO Ilan Bunimovitz • Regarding the company’s push to get streaming HTML5 video on the iPad. The cloud system is innovative, but gets around the whole app store getup. Beyond the iPad though, innovation is taking hold in other ways for adult entertainment. One company is blowing $4 million on “3D Zen and Sex,” a 3D porn film which promises will be unlike any you’ve seen before. In other words, the long history of innovation in adult entertainment continues unabated. source

  • When it comes to adult entertainment, it seems people are more the same than different.
  • Benjamin Edelman • Harvard Business School professor, on a new study regarding pornography usage by region, a study based on anonymous credit card data nationwide. Red states like it a little more than blue, but everyone dips into the porn bin a little. (The top users? Utah and Mississippi.) • source
