If one Hollywood sex expert is to be believed, 2009 ought to be a great year for  sex as well as the adult industry.  
Mike Alvear, host of HBO's show “The Sex Inspectors” has made five  predictions about sex in the coming year, and they point toward a bad economy  that will force people to find more to do at home due to a bad economy.  
“Call it recession sex,” he said. “If you're coupled, you're going to spend  more time at home and at some point that TV's got to be turned off. The nesting  impulse will increase your resting pulse. That's the good news. The bad? As  discretionary income goes down, indiscretions go up. Oops. If you're single,  you'll have the time but not the money to fritter away at bars. You won't wait  for the last-call yard sale so you'll probably lower the bar to increase your  odds.”  
Alvear invoked porn pioneer Larry Flynt in his appraisal of the adult  industry’s chances in 2009.  
“Larry Flynt once said, ‘There are two kinds of people who oppose porn. Those  who don't know what they're talking about and those who don't know what they're  missing,’” Alvear said, arguing that the mainstream of adult entertainment will  continue on its current trajectory. The worlds of art, fashion and media will  all feel a growing influence from adult entertainment.
