Michael Kirk uses an investigative approach to explore the adult industry's significant economic impact. Instead of focusing on personal morality, the documentary examines the institutional complicity of technology and capitalism with social norms. By positioning pornography as a key driver of the digital economy, the film highlights the involvement of mainstream corporations like AT&T and Yahoo! in this sector. While the subject matter involves diverse identities, the film emphasizes economic and structural analysis over demographic representation.

Official Synopsis
It's one of the hottest industries in America. Easier to order at home than a pizza, bigger than rock music, it's arguably the most profitable enterprise in cyberspace. AT&T has been in the business. Yahoo! has profited from it. Westin and Marriott have made more money selling it than selling snacks and drinks in their mini-bars. And with estimates as high as $10 billion a year, it boasts the kind of earnings that most American businesses would envy. It's pornography.
