Hmmmmm......I don't dispute that the adult film industry is very lucrative in a lot of ways, but, like Ceewan said, some documentation would make the statement easier to swallow.

Is it 400 billion gross or net profit? :puzzled:

Of course, if any country's adult industry is raking in nearly half a trillion annually, it would have to be Japan. They make the most quality stuff. :perfectplan:

I'm guess that's 4oo billion yen, which is around 4 billion USD if that is the case. I guess the porn industry is big in Japan. I mean where else in the world can you get female panties from a vending machine?:pandalaugh:

The amount of money Japan spends on national defense is equivalent to approximately 46 billion US dollars (2008) annually - less than 1 percent of their gross domestic product. This figure comes from Wikipedia in the following article :

List of countries by military expenditures. (Japan is 7th on the list.)

As for annual revenues from pornagraphy and/or other sex related industries, I could find no references. I did, however, find this most interesting scientific paper :

Pornography, r*** and Sex Crimes in Japan.
