Jobs in the sex industry which could lead to exploitation will be banned from being advertised in Jobcentres, the Government has announced.
Employment Minister Chris Grayling said the ban, which will come in with immediate effect, will cover jobs such as lap dancers and strippers.
He said the move was aimed at protecting jobseekers from feeling they have to consider work they weren't comfortable with.
Mr Grayling said: "It's absolutely wrong that the Government advertises jobs that could support the exploitation of people. We've taken immediate action today to stop certain adult entertainment vacancies from being advertised through Jobcentre Plus.
"We shouldn't put vulnerable people in an environment where they're exposed to these types of jobs and could feel under pressure to work in the sex industry."
Jobcentres will no longer advertise jobs that involve the "direct sexual stimulation" of others because publicly funded services should not be a conduit to this work, said the minister.
Other jobs in the industry, such as cleaners or retail posts, will still be advertised.
The ban follows a public consultation that revealed significant public concern about Jobcentre Plus advertising jobs in the sex industry.
The consultation also revealed that the people who worked in the sex industry could be vulnerable to harassment and discrimination.
It's a golden rule of technology: Invent something, then wait for the porn industry to find ways to cash in.
Just weeks after the launch of the iPhone 4 and its FaceTime video-conference feature, two-way sex chat services geared toward consenting adults are already in the works.
David Carroll, Assistant Professor of Media Design Parsons College, says, "The track record on this shouldn't surprise anyone."
Indeed, Internet porn companies were some of the first to make wide use of streaming video and online credit card payments.
Back in the 1970's the demand for explicit videos at home helped VCR's become widespread.
Carroll adds, "In regards to some of the innovations on the internet we've seen the sex business industry be the first to experiment with new technologies and in a way be the first to prove they're viable."
For the adult entertainment industry, FaceTime could be a game changer. And it's happening quickly. Help wanted ads on craigslist are seeking out models specifically for FaceTime sex chats.
Matt Morningwood, an adult film director - producer - PinkVisuals says, "We've really had to change our business mode. What we've latched on to is the emerging technologies, the mobile market, any new device that comes out that people can consume our product on, we try to make sure we're the first company that has stuff that works for it."
PinkVisuals is just one company developing product for the phone. Adam & Eve contract star, Teagan Presley is considering using FaceTime video chats as well.
Teagan Presley, says, "you know the same reason why the guys go to the clubs to feature dance. Same reason why they go to the conventions to meet them in person, I think it actually strengthens the relationship between the star and the fan."
Porn services designed for the iPhone puts Apple in an awkward position.
The company promotes FaceTime as a wholesome use of technology and has stated that no porn is allowed in the app store.
But FaceTime isn't an app, it's technology built right into the phone. In the wrong hands, however, it could create problems for businesses.
Mark Rasch, Director of Cybersecurity says," it creates some liability to the phone manufacturers as well as to the carriers because they're now being used as a mechanism to distribute pornography. Under federal law those kind of entities now have a duty to police and report child pornography that they see."
And while FaceTime could be a moneymaker for the adult industry, Presley says in its current form there are limitations to its use that will have to be improved.
Teagan Presley says, "when you're webcamming, ultimately when you do it at home on a computer you can bend the camera and get the full picture the full ambiance of the background, whether you decorate the room. With FaceTime, because the camera is so small and it's on the iphone, you can only get one part of your body. You can only get your face or your arm or your chest."
But it may be just a matter of time for the adult industry to work out the kinks, and bring FaceTime to prime time.

Playboy magazine, famous for its decades of nude centerfolds and slightly less famous for its articles, announced on Tuesday the launch of a new Playboy website that dispenses with the pinups and promises a work-safe Playboy experience.
TheSmokingJacket.com promises “sexy articles, sex news, hot videos, celebrity gossip, lifestyles, funny videos, and dating advice.” And while visitors to the page are greeted by a model in lingerie, the site contains no nudity and its web address does not contain the word “Playboy,” a red flag for employers who monitor employees’ internet history.
"TheSmokingJacket.com is the ultimate safe-for-work internet experience for men, and a one-stop shop for all that is cool online," Jimmy Jellinek, Chief Content Office and Editorial Director of Playboy and Playboy.com, said in a press release. "Cube dwellers and office drones alike shall rejoice at this fun, sexy, satirical antidote to the drudgery of the work day."
The press release took care to mention that the original Playboy.com site “will still feature nudity.”
