First the thorns, then the roses.
The thorns.
Too many parentheses. Split those sentences up.
"allowed himself" -> "enabled himself", "legitimate adult feature" -> "professional adult feature"
I think if you only know something from personal conversation, you may at least have to interview the person and post it on your blog, or ask them to post the story on their blog, so you can at least cite a blog post, even if not anything more substantial.
And I'm skeptical that traditional non-alt porn never used actual sex for cash or sex for favors as a way to hint at women's empowerment at least as directly as OMDK.
The roses.
Great paper.
It's a fascinating topic.
You have a hell of a lot of experience with it.
And a hell of a lot of insight into it, which is rarer.
And the further discussion.
William Gibson also writes often, especially in his Bridge Trilogy, about how the internet is changing everything, but we're all still part of a physical world and tethered to paying for food, clothing, utilities, and rent somehow. On the other hand, the possibilities are increasing for what you can do with savings from your last job, or while living with your parents as a schoolkid, or while doing weird consulting work for rich people who want to hire unorthodox private investigators who have no PI experience but plenty of experience with some relevant micro-niche like fashion or rock music or subcultures. I'm sure it's also gotten easier for porn directors to hire porn stars and pay to fly them to Porn Valley without having met them in person before.
I think America has only had three culturally distinct "generations" since the Great Depression: The Nixon Generation, The Baby Boomers, and Generation X. I really don't see any generational split between gen-Xers and the Class of 2009. Comfort with technologies that involve glowing screens, and obesity, just keep on increasing over time, but those hardly qualify as a generation gap.
