order of discussion: Industry does not equal genre, but it does equal "medium"; literature is a medium/industry, and video/film is a medium/industry. It makes no sense to talk about video/film at the top; then talk about feminism; then talk about literature. --LQ 11:54, 12 March 2007 (PDT)

Industry is *work*. Work takes place across different media. The order is clear to me. --Ide Cyan 11:56, 12 March 2007 (PDT)

You added the "lit" piece at the end of the video section, so I'm guessing you intended that section to be about porn as an industry; however, it is actually quite obviously just a commentary about the porn magazine / film industry in the contemporary west. That's not even a holistic view of the "industry" which is not just about actors, not just about the west, not just about contemporary industry, and not just about film/vid but also Internet, sex shows, and so on. I think it would be more manageable to describe this section, honestly, as contemporary video/film industry; described as such, it is not "the industry" but is more clearly parallel to other aspects of the pornography industry over time. --LQ 12:05, 12 March 2007 (PDT)

Dude, I don't have *time* to make larger edits: your edits keep conflicting with mine. And leave my phrase about relations of production in! --Ide Cyan 12:09, 12 March 2007 (PDT)
Look, ideally the Industry section should detail all the areas that pornography specialises in. Then further sections can describe particular aspects of those & their analyses. I'm going to sleep soon, so I don't have the time or the energy to do that right now, especially if I keep conflicting with your edits, so I can only hope you'll that agree this structure makes sense. --Ide Cyan 12:17, 12 March 2007 (PDT)
