Some religious groups oppose .XXX.
As can be expected, certain religious groups oppose .XXX. One is a right-wing group called the Family Research Council. They released a statement immediately after ICANN approved the .XXX extension. Its statement read as follows:

"The new domain would do more harm than good," said Patrick Trueman, FRC's senior legal counsel and former chief of the U.S. Department of Justice's Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section. "The .com domain has been a cash cow for the porn industry and pornographers will not give it up and remove themselves to the '.xxx' domain. Instead, they will populate the .xxx domain and perhaps double the number of porn sites available on the Web."

According to the web news service PressEsc the above group also blamed the Abu Ghraib prison scandal in Iraq on MTV. So it makes sense to take what they say with a huge grain of salt.
