* While the early computer game industry had relatively few sex related games, the potential was recognized by just about everyone from the start, and one text-based title -- ''Softporn Adventure'' by Sierra Games -- was a notable breakout title. Parts of ''Softporn'' eventually became the basis of the hugely successful ''VideoGame/LeisureSuitLarry'' series. A number of video strip poker games had some modest success, as well, with a notable example being Artworx's ''Strip Poker'' from 1982-83.
** The early video game industry had even less room for sex, which is not surprising given the perceived target audience. This was especially true on the consoles, where the hardware was hardly up to the task, and the market severely restricted by high entry costs and the watchful eyes of the MoralGuardians. Nonetheless, at least one company, Mystique, released a few such titles, most infamous of which being ''Custer's Revenge''.
** Averted with the PC-FX. NEC was one of the few console companies to actually license adult games in hopes of gaining a foothold (and even certain, if not most, non-porn games featured some level of fanservice, some even involving minors), and the system ''still'' bombed.

* The rise of [[UsefulNotes/{{VCR}} home videotape machines]] has often been attributed to the availability of porn. Those wanting to watch it previously had to go to skeevy porno theaters, where everyone around them was doing exactly what you'd think people would be doing in a porno theater and the floors were [[{{Squick}} very sticky]], plus they ran the risk of being seen going into or coming out of the theater. Watching in private has got all sorts of obvious advantages that everyone jumped at. The porno theater industry keeled over and died. Sony refused to license Betamax to pornographers until it was too late to counter the foothold VHS had on the fledgling industry. [[http://message.snopes.com/showthread.php?t=2126 Read more about it here.]]
** This was probably not the real cause, though; one major advantage that VHS had over Betamax was the ability to film an entire American football game on a single tape, which was very pertinent in the US due to the popularity of that sport. Notably, Betamax saw much more success in Japan, where videotaping three hour long shows was less of an issue.
** History almost repeated itself in the UsefulNotes/HighDefinition DVD war between Sony's UsefulNotes/BluRay and Toshiba's HD-DVD. When reports indicated Sony was going to ban porn on Blu-ray too, the industry reaction was to predict Sony's loss. Sony eventually agreed to license Blu-ray for porn, even if it wouldn't advertise that fact much. It ended up winning the format war this time. Unlike with Betamax, Sony isn't the sole owner of Blu-ray and instead is one of many partners in the Blu-Ray Disc Association. Sony could not actually ban Blu-ray pornography, but in the early, critical days, they held a de facto monopoly on Blu-ray manufacturing (Being the first to have large-scale production facilities), and did not peddle their services to the adult media industry.
*** However, again, it is probable that other factors were more important than porn; Sony notably made the UsefulNotes/PlayStation3 an affordable Blu-ray player, which helped to popularize the format and their console. Indeed, this was a repeat of what happened with the UsefulNotes/PlayStation2, which could double as a DVD player and was often purchased as a cheap alternative to a dedicated DVD player.
*** It could also be said that the [=PS3=] saved Blu-ray from a scenario where *both* formats were withdrawn in failure. The DVD had only become the widespread standard a few years before, neither HD-DVD nor Blu-ray offered anything like the improvement over DVD as it had been over VHS, and the end of the physical-media era was already in sight as far as the public was concerned.

Once they catch wind of a popular new networking site with little rules on image content (like the Website/{{Twitter}}-like sharing site Pawoo or the restriction-free blog site Soup.io), no doubt you will find them there within a week or two.
