Pornography is probably protected by the first amendment. However it is a taboo industry, and it makes the majority of its money off of the pseudo evil mystique that it enjoys. They largely sell product based upon the catharsis that the audience feels by engaging in what feels like dangerous behavior. Yes it does feel good to be bad. Challenging these laws would be like biting the hand that feeds them. Public acceptance would be poison. Public revulsion may be the same. There just isn't a reason to challenge, and frankly everyone likes things the way they are.

There just isn't a victim here. The governments want to seem wholesome. The industry wants to stay unsavory. That way everybody wins. Beyond that kids will always get their hands on pornography anyway. So there isn't actually any point for anyone to do anything. There isn't a problem with the laws.
