While I believe gifts should be things the giver wants to give not gifts the receiver wants to receive - I certainly am not one to deny somebody porn (excluding situations that restrict it for obvious legal reasons). So of course I answer "I would if someone asked" however, my favorite gifts are pleasant surprises - not request fulfillments. I loathe gift registries and never use them. Ever. In fact I have a history of bizarre gifts for weddings now. First was an Animatronic Deer Head, then a foot an half tall Egyptian Cat with hoop earrings and nosering. Then a miniature modernized catapult that can send golf balls 300ft (the Scorpion II). You get the idea.
Have I given anyone porn for this holiday or any prior. No. Am I open to the idea? Sure - but frankly, it would have to be very very special porn. For example, I would be "dancing on the ceiling" happy if someone got me an autographed, 8 x 10 inch photo of Sylvia McFarland - being that she hasn't been in the porn industry for - oh, 30 years - this would be a hell of a gift.
So just any old video of any old porn stars that they can hope online and buy - meh, that is boring. It has to have some backstory, some sort of hunt had to have taken place - there has to be a real damn good reason as to why you are giving this person porn. Plus you better know them very well - because porn is nothing if it isn't good at causing trouble.
I guess you could also give a subscription to a site or network - but that is a lot like giving someone a gift card. Sure it is appreciated, but it isn't a wildly cool gift. Even I know gift giving can be hard - tomorrow I have to run out in the morning and pick up a gift for my Mom, my Aunt and my Grandma - I have no idea what I'm going to get them - granted I know it won't be porn - though my Mom might find that funny. She tried to watch my Insatiable DVD a while back - some how the name didn't clue her in - at least she would have recognized the star, the incomparable Marilyn Chambers.
Anywho - I know not every gift can be perfectly tuned to the receiver's needs as you see them - but I guess I feel you should try. I don't think every kid should receive the video game of their choice - they might not like it at first, but a book on how to build shit would provide way more fun if you then took initiative and help them make whatever bizarre project they find the most interesting. It is a gift they would never choose in a million years, but it is a gift that they will like if they give it a chance - so, again give the gift you want to give, not the gift they want to receive. If you want to give porn, give it - it may just hit the spot.
Or it could fly off target and make an utter mess - you never know.
Cheers!

REPLY TO #1 - Toadsith :
I agree 100%.
And would I like porn as a gift? Yes, if it was something I haven't been able to locate; such as the original Taxi Girls where Nancy Suiter's fisting scene hasn't been edited out or any of Candy Barr's old "smoker" movies (black & white, of course)
Otherwise, no. If it's something the donor knows I really would like, I probably already have it.
Now a one year gift membership to a website or two that I really like...that would be just great.

If it was a request from a good friend, it was something they couldn't find (I can usually find rarer stuff) and they really asked me for it, sure. I don't like DVDs/VHS as much. I usually stick to downloadable stuff wherever/whenever possible.

I gave it once as a gag gift to a male friend...a porn movie we'd seen in our younger days that I happened to find on video. Besides that, I don't think so. :)
