Adult Entertainment Capital is already a publicly traded company with a significant number of adult industry related assets in its portfolio. As AdultVest, Penthouse Media, and others flirt with the idea of becoming publicly traded porn companies, it seems that porn's role in the mainstream investment community is all but a sure thing.

Penthouse Media Interactive Group is still planning to release an IPO this year slated at around $250 Million. With an investment community that is demanding more adult products, it seems that many other adult related IPOs will follow Penthouse's lead; a trend that should see billions of dollars invested in adult companies over the next several years.

A reverse merger deal struck by Twistbox Entertainment, parent company of Waat Media- the largest mobile adult content distributor, and Mandalay Media has instantly created the world's first publicly traded mobile porn company.

Penthouse Media Group's proposed $250 Million IPO is slated as the first public hardcore sex company, but the merits of the investment quality of the stock are questionable due the extreme debt structure of the company. However, recent acquisitions point to a profitable future and competent management- but should you invest in this opportunity or not?
