Rough year for porn. And we're not just talking about whips and chains.

Following a recent HIV-positive scandal, New York magazine reported what we all know — that everyone's getting their adult material online for free now. What has happened to music and film is happening to porn.

Meanwhile …

… the AIDS Healthcare Foundation has been on a crusade to force condoms on the business.

And then Charlie Sheen basically proved you can order up an adult actress about as easily as you can get pizza — if you have the cash. And he was the bright spot for the industry. So give it some love this weekend at the annual Adultcon event at the L.A. Convention Center.

It's not AVN (Adult Video News, the industry insider confab), but you can still hang out with your favorite “actress” and buy marital aids to boot.

And dig their marketing: “If it rains, the porn stars are going to get WET.”

Right?
