2013 couldn't have gone much worse for the porn industry.
The DVD business, once the lifeblood of adult film producers, dwindled even further. Legal challenges over mandatory condom laws continued to dog the industry. And porn companies were forced to shut down production three times after four performers tested positive for HIV.
As the industry prepares for the Adult Entertainment Expo, its annual trade show in Las Vegas, the question on everyone's mind is: What does 2014 have in store?
No one's sure, of course, but some insiders are cautiously optimistic that the worst is over.
