There are non-commercial sites out there dedicated to sexual information, or 
which include significant amounts of sexual information. As with many other 
controversial areas, it is precisely these non-commercial sites that are 
under the greatest threat, IMHO. The large commercial sex sites have 
sufficient resources to fight things like ISP shutdowns over allegations of 
illegal material being hosted on a site, or domain takeovers by DHS or 
similar. Non-commercial sites are less likely to have the resources to fight 
such actions. Thus, instead of community-built and maintained safe spaces for 
online sexual activity, we have only commercial sites, many of which are 
highly explotative.
