Apologies to Justin, but I see no need for a porn "market" in a geniunely socialist society. Just as a person in a socialist society could have particular interests that could be socially coordinated with others to produce a mutually beneficial outcome (e.g., public libraries, open source software, music), people could contribute sexually explicit materials to the "creative commons" as they wished.

That's a tricky moral question. It's interesting, though, that children in some societies sleep in the same room (or even the same bed!) with parents getting it on. People in those societies seem to deal with it fine, and kids aren't "scarred for life".
