I spoke with a trusted source and he said it will never be approved. It is a lot easier to deny the application yet once again than to get involved with the backlash, media uproar and "monitoring" of the web. Lawsuits will ultimately spring up and the arbitrators are in CYA mode. It is unfortunate that the U.S. Government controls the web and these decisions. There is a difference between doing the right thing and doing the safe thing. If I were Stuart Lawley, I would already be preparing for the next lawsuit, which will be extreme bias and prejudice towards .xxx. I would be attacking the future gTLD's and block them from being approved unless .xxx is allowed under the exact same standards. correction- it was Jimmy Swaggart with the Visine laden tears for Jesus.

The people opposed the most to xxx are the ones masturbating secretly the most to it. Everyone needs to take a chill pill and grow up. The religious right should be ashamed of themselves. I can still see Jerry Falwell with tears streaming down his eyes after he got caught with a hooker. The .com sex tld's should be left alone to operate as they please. Their is no eminent domain. Think of all the opposition to smoking in bars being banned. Now, if I went into a bar or restaurant and someone was smoking it would be disgusting. The .sex com existing operators will moan and groan and then eventually accept that they can buy a few .xxx's or just keep what they have- or do both. But sex sites will ultimately WANT and DEMAND to be catalogued so they can be found easily and so that they can be part of the .xxx community, because it makes $en$e for them to be.

I understand that the desire to keep porn away from kids and those who don't want it. the problem is always the same, who decides what is "hardcore porn sites" and which are not? There are certain places in the US where Playboy is not allowed. Its a big world and how do you regulate it? Who is going to make sex.com shut down? Or blowjobs.com shut down? No one Its one of those ideas like peace on earth, we are all in favor of, but no way of making it happen. MS.

I'm not talking about erotica--I'm talking about the nasty crap that pops up in my email (and is immediately deleted without being opened). That way, I can set my preferences to block all .xxx sites on my emails, forums, blog sites, etc. I'm really not interested in seeing some blonde wench giving a blow job to some john posted on my poetry site by p0rn0 spammers. If people really like that crap, then .xxx should be set aside for that purpose AND for people who seek it. For those who own sex dot com and porn dot com, well, too bad. You deal in slime, so I can't get too worked up over your bottom line. You'll just have to stand in line behind the opportunists who file bogus TMs at every TLD sunrise. You may even have to pay another $10 million. ;) * *

Where do you see the value in .biz. I was thinking $500 to $1000.

I agree penetration, watersports,ejaculation is adult, but some would see AmIhot as adult. So IMO its just a money grab for ICM.

Moreover the fee for the .xxx is 10X higher than for the .com There is also no way for ICANN to mandate that all "adult" content move to .xxx. Then you have the question of what is "adult". Sure we may agree penetration is adult, but is Maxim magazine pictures adult? Topless? g-string bikinis? There is no way of enforcing a move of adult content to a .xxx extension and the US has passed several laws trying to restrict or regulate adult content on the net and all have such laws have been stricken down by federal courts. So if you can't legally mandate or practically enforce a move of adult material to .xxx, what is the purpose if it? WTF
