Hotels are fighting porn wars
Hotel pay-for-view adult service has generated millions in income but it is now leading to organized public complaints.
The moral outrage is “on a scale that pornography insiders say amounts to one of the greatest organized assaults on the skin business in recent memory,” according to The Christian Science Monitor.
A group of 13 conservative groups has created CleanHotels.com, a web site providing lists and reservation for US hotels that don’t offer any such temptations.
The conservative groups have also run a series of newspaper ads urging authorities to prosecute hoteliers under federal and local obscenity laws.
The number of CleanHotels.com is about 14,000, most of them small chains. One larger group is Omni.
Whether or not the site will have any impact still is not clear. But adult pay-for-view overall, including videos in private homes and hotels, is a business worth about $1.6 billion, according to Kagan Research.
That number has doubled since 1996.
