WASHINGTON — The Atlantic published an opinion piece today that criticizes the ongoing War on Porn campaign and its attempts to shut down legal adult content on the internet.

Penned by staff writer Olga Khazan, the opinion piece concluded that although “porn makes for an easy target” for politicians and the professional moralists who lobby them, “legislators focused on labeling it as a ‘public health crisis’ should consider what problems they are actually trying to solve.”

“Many researchers and adult entertainment workers support measures that would reduce kids’ access to porn, ensure that porn videos portray only consenting adults and mandate fair wages for sex workers,” wrote Khazan. “Calling adults’ legal use of pornography a ‘public health crisis’ doesn’t do any of that.”

The Atlantic piece mentions copycat bills distributed by anti-porn lobbyists to likeminded state legislators and efforts to mandate “porn filters.”

The article also correctly identifies the National Center on Sexual Exploitation (NCOSE, formerly Morality in Media) as “an anti-obscenity nonprofit that produced model legislation for the porn-blocking bill and the public-health-crisis bills.”

As XBIZ reported in January, activists waging the New War on Porn routinely declare that adult content is not free expression protected by the First Amendment in the U.S. and by long-standing traditions of freedom of speech in other lands. It is “a public health crisis,” a “drug” and “slavery,” using language and notions developed for years — in some cases decades — in well-funded, religiously-motivated think tanks and lobbies. These groups literally have an agenda: to shut down, by whatever means necessary, online porn.

Khazan also spoke to Arizona state Representative Michelle Udall, who admitted she introduced her state’s public-health-crisis bill in 2019 “after hearing from constituents involved with the anti-porn group Fight the New Drug, and that NCOSE gave her a booklet with data and studies on porn.”

SAN FRANCISCO — Pink and White Productions has announced “Shiny Shorts,” a one-night-only virtual event, set for this Thursday at 5 p.m. (PDT) on PinkLabel.tv, hosted by Shine Louise Houston, that promises “an inside look at the iconic and award-winning adult short films which span the filmmaker’s prolific career.”

“This unique, one-of-a-kind presentation offers a rare chance for cinephiles to get up close and personal with one of the industry’s leading queer porn producers,” a rep said.

The event is free to PinkLabel+ members; non-members may purchase a $7 Film Pass. The screening is in English and open to those aged 18 and older; audio descriptions and closed captioning are not available.

MIAMI — Content creator Joslyn Jane has released a new clip in which she and Jungle Girl Z engage in body worship.

The nearly 10-minute clip can be found on Jane’s ManyVids store.

“Marvel as Joslyn and the adventurous busty brunette explore each other’s curvy, all-natural bodies for your pleasure — and theirs,” a rep enthused. “Dangerous curves ahead.”

LOS ANGELES — Jamie Jett joins Brooklyn Gray and Rebel Rhyder in the latest from Mike Adriano’s Swallowed.com.

“I’m always thrilled to be on set with Swallowed, and especially with Brooklyn and Rebel; I look up to both of them as incredibly talented performers. If it were possible to get a graduate degree in improvised dirty talk, Brooklyn would definitely have a PhD,” Jett said.  

“The sweet innocence of the pastel bikinis in this shoot is cutely ironic, because it’s by far the most hardcore oral scene I’ve been a part of,” she observed. “I love Swallowed as a site because it devotes all the time and attention to oral, which lets us get creative. Moreover, a threeway blowjob involves some delicate choreography, so this is definitely the varsity version of giving head.”

Titled “Deep Throat Dream Team with Jamie, Brooklyn & Rebel,” the scene is Jett’s fourth appearance for the studio.

Jett is “one of the most stunning young starlets to ever enter the adult industry,” Adriano noted. “When it comes to blowjobs, Jamie is simply a beast in that department.”

LOS ANGELES — Twice-crowned and reigning XBIZ “MILF Performer of the Year” Cherie DeVille has penned a new article for The Daily Beast that examines “the struggles of being a sex worker in this modern world.”

The story is titled “Think Conservatives Are Censored On Social Media? Try Being a Porn Star” and “perfectly assesses the hypocrisy of big tech and politicians when it comes to defending the right of expression,” noted a rep.

“With the recent announcement by Florida Governor Rick DeSantis that he plans on imposing fines any social media platform that bans political candidates, Cherie points out that sex workers have been suffering from platform bans for awhile, resulting in major losses of income,” the rep added. “Cherie succinctly and thoughtfully expresses her thoughts, using data from CentroU to back up her concerns.”

The performer thanked Daily Beast for giving her a platform to express her thoughts on the compelling issues that affect her career and the careers of her friends and colleagues.

“It’s important that people, both fans and those who don’t follow the industry, understand that social media is a crucial part of our livelihood and as sex workers,” she said. “We are often overlooked.”

AUSTIN — Interactive Life Forms, makers of the Fleshlight and Fleshjack brand of pleasure products, has announced Cade Maddox as the company’s newest Fleshjack Boy.

Cade Maddox, a Falcon/NakedSword exclusive, is a 2021 XBIZ Awards nominee for “Best Gay Sex Scene” and “Gay Performer of the Year.”

Two products will be molded from the cocksman’s anatomy: one toy molded after his butt and featuring a Fleshjack sleeve with the exclusive “Alpha” texture, and the second a dildo replicating his renowned penis.

Both toys are designed and produced in the United States with the company’s patented body-safe SuperSkin material.

“Cade is a big addition to the ‘Fleshjack Boy’ family — and I mean that figuratively and literally,” Fleshlight Director of Marketing Daniel Harvell said. “We had to make our boxes bigger just to fit his lifelike dildo into our packaging. He’s won all kinds of awards, but our fans will be most interested in getting to experience in person why he’s won ‘Hottest Top,’ ‘Favorite Cock’ and ‘Hottest Cock.’ They won’t be disappointed.”

The Fleshjack Boy roster includes Beaux Banks, Boomer Banks, Calvin Banks, Joey Mills, Angel Rivera, reigning XBIZ “Gay Performer of the Year” Max Konnor and, most recently, DeAngelo Jackson.

VANCOUVER — Adult website and domain marketplace Broker.xxx is extending a hand to owners of domains who are affected by eBay’s recent decision to ban “items that display sexual activity, sexual content or sexually suggestive poses.”

The policy change takes effect June 15. Among the newly prohibited categories is “adult-only domain names,” noted a rep.

“Before Broker.xxx there was no centralized place to sell adult domains at all, so we built it. We welcome all domain and website sellers being thrown out due to eBay’s new policy,” CEO and founder of Broker.xxx Juicy Jay said. “We are leading the way forward. Our sexy, sleek platform is purpose-built and our growing team is helping people sell their adult domains and websites, a market that eBay has decided they have no interest in.”

The company will also shortly introduce a new website.

“Our next-generation adult domains platform is currently in pre-release Beta and will ultimately rival mainstream entities such as Dan.com, Sedo, HugeDomains, and other mainstream-first marketplaces that commonly downplay their adult domain portfolio,” Jay noted.
