I am really surprised to read this news that only market is doing well in the recession time -is sex industry. I think this happens as when someone loose job he has little more time to watch and enjoy stuff. Here are very interesting facts about this booming business:

-Online dating business is booming-Since recession has started online dating sites has shown big spikes in numbers of customers.This could be equally true that the rush of new singles on the market is a sign of a whole lot of dumping going on. The unemployed may have all sorts of time to update their love profile, but they are seldom at their most confident and attractive.

-Adult Toy shops-These shops has shownig a quick spikes in business. This is also due couples are cutting their entertainment expenses and staying in for cheap thrills.Another reason may be do youself motto.

- Condom manufacturers- Condom manufacturers attribute the correlation to people staying home and resorting to cheaper forms of "recreation," while also being reluctant to have more kids in uncertain times.Condoms aren't the only things selling strong

-Porn Industry- The porn industry made a whopping $12 billion in 2007.Flmmakers attending the AVN Adult Entertainment Expo in Las Vegas in January said that sales of all adult movies were up in December and January.

Wow this shows that nothing affect this indusry.

There could be worse things and we can use all the help we can get. I lost my job in Decemeber. Please don't tell my wife that I am now more susceptible to porn.

As much as I'm an anti-porn girl, I can see where this would happen. Many, many more people are at home with nothing to do. Most of us know that tingly feeling we get when we're sexually excited.....that's WAY better than thinking about your life crumbling around you, isn't it? lol

Good hub Lgali!

Very Good Hub. I couldn't have said it better myself. This kind of business is very surprising to some people, but just remember one thing, just be yourself and don't get involved in that kind of business because you are a very nice person who likes to enjoy life.

during recession is when alot of people are unemployed and then they are at home more...so that means more "Loving" from their spouse! or more porn watching as you stated...nevertheless, there is also a dramatic increase in Pregnancy too

Well I just hope that you are not as much right , but it is very convincing when summarized like that. However I do believe in theory that it can be just one of those easy accessible ways how to deal with stress and many deprivations. Lack of sleep can bring one in front of screen for many reasons.

When life sucks (economy, stress, etc) people need something to take thier mind off of thier problems. Sex seems to do the trick pretty well.

Don't read too much into that. Old companies like Playboy, Hustler and Vivid are in danger of going out of business. Things were different when XXX movies were made little different than mainstream movies with all the panoply of Hollywood. Now any yahoo with a few hundred dollars to spend and a video camera can make a movie. Bad news for the old dinosaur companies, good news for people who like XXX movies.

Doug French has an interesting analysis of the industry here: http://mises.org/story/3668
