Mobile porn

Mobile porn, also known as mobile adult content, mobile erotica or cellphone adult content, is pornography transmitted over mobile telecommunications networks for consumption on mobile devices: mainly mobile phones, tablets and smartphones.

History

Just like the internet and pay TV, the adult entertainment industry was one of the very first forms of mass media to embrace mobile devices as a new means to distribute content. During 2002, Private Media Group became the first adult media company to employ a dedicated mobile specialist. This initiative led to the industry's first adult SMS services, erotic mobile content distribution and mobile internet (WAP) site called, "Private Mobile," offering a small range of videos directly to their consumers. This service was intended for the increasing range of Private consumers using feature phones in Europe with colour screens.

Since the mid-2000s, many mobile network operators eventually deployed age verification systems and industry regulated explicitness grading levels that gradually allowed mobile erotica to be legally purchase through gated mobile operator portal communities only by consenting adults.
