Porn Executive On GOP's 'Family-Friendly' Platform: 'Sex is Everywhere'

Vivid co-chairman Steven Hirsch warned Republicans to be less "vigorous" in their approach to pornography. He applauded the Republicans' stance against child pornography but suggested that the party was acting old fashioned and was in danger of sparking a "witch hunt".

"Sex is everywhere in the adult world and this isn't going to change. If anything, it will become more pervasive," Hirsch said. "The Republicans' call for 'vigorous' enforcement of these laws is a hollow gesture and obvious pandering to ultra-right-wing conservatives." He also reminded Republicans of a 2009 Harvard study that found relatively high Internet porn subscriptions in traditionally conservative states.
