I think that in ten years porn will be much more mainstream than it is today. Here in Scandinavia, the first place in the world to legalise porn, it is already becoming socially acceptable with ex-porn stars becoming main stream talkshow hosts, etc. The US. is probably a few years behind in this trend due to their strange take on religion and sex. My point is that I would just go with it, I know people that are in that businees, and to my knowledge they have never had any problems. Neither socially nor in business. The social norms may be stricter where you are from, so take this with a grain of salt. For inspiration on how far you can take it if you choose this road look at Private Media Group liste on NASDAQ: http://finance.google.com/finance?q=NASDAQ%3APRVT http://finance.google.com/finance?q=NASDAQ%3APRVT

The U.S. is a LOT more than a couple years behind you, and the trend isn't going in the right direction either.

  Are you kidding me? Have you seen Fox Business news lately? Or watched Rock of Love? Or I dunno, any main stream media in the US in the last 10 years? Porn and pretty naked ladies rule here in America even with the religious baby boomers fighting against it (all the while buying it non-stop in private). Yes maybe the mentality of the US is still lagging (lots of old people still cling to their religion), but our actions are probably the most progressive in the entire world (we don't need a law to change that)

    No, they're not. Someone swears on TV and it's still a huge fine. Do you think the Europeans run live events on a tape delay just because someone might accidentally swear near a live mic? When's the last time you saw a nipple on broadcast TV (and remember what happened then?) or on the street? Walk down the streets of London, you will. They have full nudity in fashion and perfume ads in general interest magazines. Our broadcast standards may be a little looser than they were 20 years ago, but it's really not much. Our society as a whole has become more socially conservative over the last 40 years too.

      I agree that our society is too conservative, but it is going in the right direction. It's just that there is a long way to go, and we are going in the right direction very very slowly. (You'll notice that people keep trying to make porn illegal, but the courts are becoming more and more permissive. That is a good thing.) Finally, the Internet is a global place, and it doesn't really matter what the US thinks about a porn site based in the EU or in Japan.
