Porn – Business of Pleasure

CNBC’s favorite darling, Melissa Lee (not pictured above), will report on the multibillion dollar controversial porn industry.

The porn industry has changed technology and can be found in millions of homes, hotel rooms and hard drives across the country. BUT, the business is facing economic challenges. It’s under assault and not just from the many critics who see it as socially corroding, degrading to women and a risk to the young.

According to a CNBC press release it will look at the problems facing porn “threats to its profitability to exclusive behind-the-scenes interviews with the industry’s biggest stars to the one issue that could bring the adult industry to it’s knees.”

While MSNBC, Fox News and CNN load their primetime lineup with heavy hitters, CNBC sees most of its success during the business day. Its special Marijuana Inc. was, at the time, the most-watched documentary in network history.

CNBC will air the special Porn: Business of Pleasure July 15 at 9 p.m.

Speaking of porn, Tera Patrick (pictured above) has cemented her place as adult entertainment’s hottest star this weekend with an unprecedented third consecutive win at the 2009 FAME Awards. As they have for the past two years, fans voted Tera as the "Favorite Female Performer."

“I am so proud to be awarded this year’s ‘Favorite Female Starlet’ award,” exclaims Tera. “I feel humbled by the love and support the fans have shown me and the FAME Awards is the one awards show where it is open for all fans to vote".

You may or may not agree with her career choice but you have to give the girl props for her business acumen as a market leader in her industry. See our interview with Melissa Lee.

    I think Joanna Angel of Burning Angel is the most creative one highlighted in this piece by approaching the niche market of the Porn Industry as a College Girl appealing to the alternative side of the viewers. She is also very open about who she is & why she does what she does: http://xoxojoannaangel.com/about/
