We don't think there's an easy answer. Obviously, sexual urges will trump any financial hardship. But whether people will continue to shell out their ever dwindling dollars, especially in an environment glutted with free and easy access to pirated porn—well, that remains to be seen.

Despite our hesitation, however, there's someone who seems fairly certain that the adult industry (or at least one adult publication) is completely indestructible: Jossip has legendary big boobie rag Juggs on their list of "indestructible" magazines. What makes Juggs so rock solid?

"How do porno magazines still exist," you ask, "with such a proliferation of free pornography on the Internet?" Wake up, snob: The great majority of people in the world don't own computers, and even some people who do own computers don't have Internet access. What everyone in the world does have is a desire to reach orgasm. So while you sit in front of the computer, trying to stay aroused while battling relentless pop-ups, Joe Sixpack is going to the bodega, picking up Juggs and getting his rocks off the old-fashioned way. Also working in Juggs' favor is that, despite its tremendously cheap production, it can still fetch around eight to 10 dollars—less if you buy it in three-packs (not that we've price-checked it or anything).

And, we might add, none other than Kelly Madison is on the cover of the December 2008 issue. Indestructible, indeed.

It seems that "Momma's Boys," a, yes, Ryan Seacrest-produced "reality" show that focuses on three overbearing who must pick soulmates new flings for their precious young sons. Among the thirty-two ladies in the dating pool are at least three naked models: 2008 Penthouse Pet of the Year Erica Ellyson, Meghan Allen, and Stacy Fuson.

The first episode premieres tomorrow. We so can't wait — but hey, to keep you busy while you're counting down the hours, here are some nude galleries of all the girls.

His argument? Lad mags are silly and juvenile, yes, but they're not misogynistic at all (come on, lads love ladies!). More importantly, though: lad mags exist as boob-filled rags largely because, well, everyone likes boobs! And since everyone likes boobs, they won't be going anywhere any time soon... unless, of course, they're killed off by the giant boob farm that is the internet.

Now someone find us the latest copy of Nuts, stat.

Of course, we'd be hard pressed to say that we get Sasha ourselves: she's a pretty unique person—and not just because she's a pornstar with a brain (we know quite a few of those, actually). But we suspect that any attempt to categorize her into any tried and true story lines will ultimately fail: if there's one thing we're fairly certain of, it's that Sasha is anything but ordinary.

The reigning theory seems to be that Sasha is attempting to parlay her porno stardom into a more mainstream (and therefore "legit") kind of fame—hence the music videos, the indie film projects, and, of course, the Soderbergh film—and that, perhaps, this was her plan all along. After all, didn't she draw comparisons to Jenna Jameson very early in her career—Jenna Jameson, the crossover star who now clings so desperately to her mainstream identity, rejecting her porno past with every opportunity?

Except we have a hard time imagining a girl with hopes of mainstream stardom launching her career with titles like "Slut Puppies 2" and "Fuck Slaves." You don't do the kind of porn that Sasha does because you want to be a Hollywood star: you do it because you want to make porn, because you don't care what having "Slam It! In A Slut!" on your resume does to your credibility.

So then, what are we to make of Sasha's mainstream stardom? Is it an accidental by product of her porno fame? Probably not: she seems far too smart to "accidentally" wind up in a Soderbergh film. If anything, we suspect that Sasha is attempting to remake the notion of what a mainstream star is, and does—much the way she's remade any notions of what an 18-year-old pornstar looks and sounds like.

We can't even pretend that we know what Sasha's grand plan is, or if she even has one. But if the Soderbergh film is a success, it seems that there are a few likely outcomes. Sasha could very well go the way of Jenna Jameson, abandoning her porn roots for a shot at mainstream fame; though whether she'd ever break out of the sex worker pigeonhole and move beyond roles as a stripper, prostitute, or other sexy girl is difficult to tell. On the other hand, it's also possible that Sasha could rise to fame in the mainstream cinema while continuing to work as an adult star—perhaps completely remaking our notions of what it means to have crossover appeal.

It's probably not that hard to guess which outcome we're hoping for. How it all turns out, of course—well, only time will tell.

Like why is it okay for him to inspire the elderly, but Sasha Grey can't inspire you? Maybe if she sticks around until she's 80 she'll make the cover of Time. And why no mention of his equally old female partners? Is it not as remarkable for them to get laid? Which leads us to the most important elephant in the porn studio that both stories chose to ignore: What about Viagra? Even most twenty-three year olds these days can't perform without a little pharmaceutical assistance. Or maybe this story should be in the "medical miracles" section instead?

It's a trend story! Except "some women" is really just one woman and she doesn't really blame it on gas prices, so much as the fact that she has a young child, is in school herself, and stuff costs money. Still, isn't it awful that our economy is so bad, that women are forced to take their clothes off to pay the bills? This poor woman is almost like ... every other woman who has ever been a stripper. Because we all have bills to pay and stripping is just a job like any other—except unlike some jobs you can actually make a living doing it. That's not news.

Exotic dancing can be a way to survive. So can being a television reporter. Unless you don't have a twin sister to help you film ridiculous split screen shots like this one. Then it gets a little tricky.
