The Sex Industry: The Real Problem

As I was in the airport today, I wandered into the shop that is completely devoted to tabloids, magazines and newspapers. 
If "what is going on in this world?" is the question, this store must have all the answers.

I couldn't help but be drawn to the head line "Sex Isn't Selling", and my immediate thought was "Are you crazy? Where are you living, sex sells everything in this culture."

It was a business magazine.
It was reporting on the sex industry in America. The first paragraph documented a mother asking her son if he pays for pornography - not the issue of if he looks at it, but if he pays for it.
Anybody today can take part of the sex industry today and not have to pay for it.
This is a problem in the business world. Because of the easy access to free pornography online, producers are losing money on their sex business.  As a result, there are lay offs. Producers, actors/actresses and make up artists are losing money. The recommendation is for people to "get out of the business as soon as you can". 

Another point was brought up. Since sex is so readily available everywhere from food commercials to bus stop signs to television and window displays, it's loosing its' shock factor. Its' racy-ness. Its' curiosity factor. What would have been shocking to see in the 90s is a regular occurrence today, therefore people aren't as drawn to the product being advertised. 
This is another problem in the business world. Out culture is numb to sex. How in the world are they going to sell products now?

Does anyone else see the REAL problem here?
Our culture has completely voided the sex industry itself as a problem... and now the problem is that the sex industry itself isn't bringing in enough money.

The sex industry kills men from the inside out.
The sex industry manipulates women to think they need to be something in order to receive love.
The sex industry nullifies God's beautiful gift to us of sexuality.

That's the real problem folks.
Please get real about life, Canadian Business magazine. Money isn't the ultimate. 
We need to recognize peoples' hearts.
