Sex not only sells, sex is the engine of creation of whole new categories of communication and entertainment.

You have that 100% correct. Sex made the internet what it is today. CD-ROMs became popular, primarily because the first medium available on CD-ROMs was porn. Same thing with VHS/Beta tapes. When porn could be rented and taken home, every home needed a VCR. I remember the CES shows in Vegas back in the 80's. Apple demo'd the Mac with the first CD-ROM; and nearby a porn studio was showing how the CD-ROM could not only catch the 'action' but also various 'angles'.
