LOS ANGELES — Marica Hase has released a new set of kinbaku photos and videos shot during her recent trip to Japan in collaboration with world-renowned kinbaku photographer Norio Sugiura.

Hase has worked as one of Sugiura’s models for more than 10 years and has an even longer history as a professional kinbaku model, so kinbaku is a lasting part of her work and artistic identity.
 
“Since I’ve lived in Japan, I have worked as a kinbaku model and participated in many sessions with traditional rope masters,” said Hase. “Kinbaku is one of the art forms I have always loved and respected. I have been one of Norio Sugiura’s models for more than 10 years, and I am very happy to share the photos and videos we shot during my last trip to Japan. The positions and setups are very difficult, but these are my favorite moments.”

LOS ANGELES — Ameena Green was named Best Female Performer at the 2026 Urban X Awards, where she shared the honor in a tie with Jennifer White.

“This year has been crazy in the best way,” said Green. “I’m on Year 4 of my journey in the adult entertainment industry, and I have no plans of stopping anytime soon. A lot of opportunities came my way when I moved to California and joined Spiegler; however, I didn’t just want to become a Spiegler Girl and stop there. I used the opportunity as momentum for me to work harder.”

Green continued, “There’s something so fulfilling about leaving set showered with compliments from directors and crew, not just because praise feels good, but because I put so much intention into improving my craft. I’m always studying, experimenting, and trying to become a better performer, and I hope that growth translates on camera.”

A rep for Green also enthused about her big win. 

“We are incredibly proud of Ameena and this well-deserved recognition,” said the rep. “She values every opportunity that comes her way and really appreciates all her fans as well as being honored by the Urban X Awards. This award reflects her work ethic and the genuine connection she has with her audience.”

PALM SPRINGS, Calif. — Ducati Studios Network will release “Drive, Cowboy,” the final episode of its 14-part original series “Drifters,” on Sept. 2.

“Set in a stylized desert world, ‘Drifters’ is a gay western erotic drama that follows a cast of cowboys, outsiders, drifters, lovers, and loners as they search for connection, freedom, and desire on the open road,” the synopsis reveals.

Derek Kage and Ryan Orion star in “Drive, Cowboy,” which “finally brings Dude and Handsome face-to-face with the question that has followed them throughout the series — whether two drifters can stop running long enough to choose one another,” the synopsis reveals.

“The finale brings the story full circle, returning Handsome to the road where his journey began while revisiting some of the people, places, and emotional choices that shaped him along the way. As Dude and Handsome confront what their relationship might mean beyond a temporary encounter, the episode delivers the payoff to a romance that has developed gradually across the season.”

“Drive, Cowboy” was written and directed by Daddy Patrick, shot by Ryan Brian, and produced by Trenton Ducati for Ducati Studios.

LAS VEGAS — Jenevieve Hexxx, known in her teaching work as Jenevieve Rasa Zaya, has launched “Red Temple of Hexxx — Tantric Transmissions of Magik,” a podcast exploring authentic Tantra, spirituality, sacred sexuality, and mysticism.
 
The debut episode, “Jen Rasa Zaya & Guru Yogi Prakash on Tantra Kundalini,” welcomes Guru Yogi Prakash for an in-depth conversation on Tantra, Kundalini Yoga, spirituality, and the role of these ancient practices in modern life. The discussion also examines what Tantra is — and what it is not — while offering insight into learning and practicing Tantra beyond its common misconceptions.

Drawing from more than three decades of dedicated Tantric practice, Zaya created the podcast as a space for uncensored conversations, rituals, and teachings rooted in Goddess Tantra, sacred sexuality, and mystical traditions, as well as otherworldly insights into her own life of Serpentine Sorcery.
 
There are currently three episodes available, and future episodes will bring spiritual teachers and practitioners into conversations designed to explore authentic Eastern Tantra as a living path to bliss rather than simply a modern Western “Neo Tantra” concept.
 
“‘Red Temple of Hexxx’ is a sacred sanctum for inspiring the Bliss of the Divine to rise in the spine,” said Zaya. “We are sharing authentic Tantra with gurus and mystics who have lived these traditions and are living examples of the pure, radiant glow of a potent, vibrant, joyful life, devoid of the suffering caused by the fluctuations and afflictions of the mind. We invite you to journey with us beyond the veil of three-dimensional thinking and the misconceptions surrounding this ancient path, and into the deeper portal of the practices and magik that have shaped my own path.”
 
“Red Temple of Hexxx — Tantric Transmissions of Magik” is available now on Spotify and YouTube.
