LOS ANGELES — 2023 XBIZ Performer of the Year Cherie DeVille is spotlighted in the Men’s Health article “What Is a ‘Zaddy’ and How Does It Differ From a Daddy?”

Writer Zachary Zane explores the concept through a series of interviews.

“A zaddy is way sexier, more attractive, hip and fashionable,” said DeVille. “A daddy is just an old guy, which appeals to younger women. Older women prefer zaddies because they’re well-cultured, well-read and well-dressed; plus, it’s just way less creepy to say zaddy in bed than daddy. It doesn’t sound like you’re talking about your father.”

LOS ANGELES — Summer Vixen stars with Christian Clay in “Endgame,” the latest release from Vixen.

Directed by Laurent Sky, the scene opens with chess player Summer “about to square off against Christian,” the synopsis reveals. “Practice makes perfect, so she works to devise a winning strategy worthy of a grandmaster. Her secret weapon? A tiny dress. At the end of the match, Summer has distracted him enough to get Christian to a checkmate. And with that Christian’s night was just beginning. He never saw it coming but in the end, both were winners.”

Summer enthused about the scene.

“Thank you, everyone at Vixen, and thank you, Christian Clay, for such a phenomenal day and one of my favorite scenes to date,” she said. “I’m extremely honored to have had this opportunity with Vixen, and very excited to hear the feedback from our fans.”

BOZEMAN, Mont. — Sexual wellness brand Firmtech has announced the prototype of its new Clitique female sexual health monitoring device from its MyFemmeTech brand.

The device is designed to measure clitoral arousal, medication side effects and cardiovascular health, according to a company rep. The device will also be able to assess orgasm contractions during intercourse. The Clitique will collect data on arousal during sex, and nocturnal clitoral arousal and erection.

“This revolutionary data is invaluable to assessing overall health, such as quantitative insights on how stress, medications, sleep quality, exercise, and overall health status affect a woman’s sexual function; an early insight into cardiovascular and metabolic health — prompting women to seek medical screening when clitoral responsiveness and nighttime tumescence diminish; and biofeedback in sexual arousal disorders,” the rep said.

And she and the most talented, fun, kind and generous performers in the adult industry came and performed their hearts out for Pineapple Support. These are the kind of events that  prove we are strong and proud and will always take care of each other.”

Co-host McNamara added, “Having adult star Cole Conner and Gina from Real Housewives OC having an orgasm battle was the pinnacle of my two worlds coming together — literally. I love porn and pop culture and I love that Falcon/NakedSword and Pineapple Support threw an amazing event celebrating our community for an amazing cause.”

Sister Roma celebrated the Falcon/NakedSword team for really turning out the crowd at Micky’s in WeHo” and noted that Kirschenheiter was such a delight she even donated her appearance fee back to the Pineapple Support fundraiser.

“That’s the spirit when members of the adult industry come together with drag luminaries and pop culture celebrities to raise money for mental health,” Roma added. “I’m proud to work for a company that supports the industry and eternally grateful to our sponsors. We already have ideas for next year so stay tuned.”
