Insex.com is calling it quits. The stated reason:
"Recent developments related to changes in US law and government policy have made Intersec a clear target for prosecution. Revisions to adult record keeping requirements and the creation of a federal task force specifically targeting producers that create media featuring urination, defication, sadism and masochism have caused Intersec to decide that continuing to produce insex.com from the US would be too great a potential liability.
"While Intersec is certain that a potential prosecution would have no chance of success based upon insex.com's artistic and educational value, especially in light of other recent high profile obscenity prosecution failures, the staff is unwilling to fight a lengthy and expensive court battle only to emerge victorious but bankrupt."
They have stopped selling access to the site.
I have sheepishly sort-of boasted sometimes that I've never paid for internet porn. Part of this is being a cheapskate and/or low on funds; part of this is a lame attempt to feel "above it;" part of this is an effort to demonstrate to my partner and perhaps myself that I'm neither financially irresponsible nor drowning in dissipation.
But right now I wish I'd coughed up a little dough recently.

P.S. Need I mention that I am disgusted by the politics and priorities of our national administration?
