Porn Industry Bigwigs Ask USD5 Billion from Congress

It seems that the economic downturn had a serious impact on porn business. Recently two major players of the porn industry asked the United States Congress for help.

The publisher of one of the most popular porn magazines Hustler, Larry Flynt together with Joe Francis, who created "Girls Gone Wild", stated that they sent a request to the U.S. Congress in which they solicited a $5 billion federal bailout, which would help the porn industry pass through tough economic times.

"People are too depressed to be sexually active. This is very unhealthy as a nation. Americans can do without cars and such but they cannot do without sex," outlined Flynt, who added that sex is the utmost thing on the mind of people who were suffering a lot from the crisis, losing their jobs and money, reports Los Angeles Times.

"It's time for Congress to rejuvenate the sexual appetite of America. The only way they can do this is by supporting the adult industry and doing it quickly," said Flynt.

Joe Francis mentioned that the $5 billion is just enough for the $13 billion adult industry to make it through tough times.
