TAMPA, Fla. — Prolific content creator Roxie Rae has released a new batch of fetish clips featuring performances by Chanel, Nika Venom, Honey Dew, Rennadel Ryder, Stefania Mafra and Kitty Quinn.

Two new clips are available from Roxie Rae Fetish: one is a solo and the other is an all-girl SPH clip. In the solo piece, Chanel makes her studio debut popping balloons and can be found here.

The all-girl clip centers on Venom and Honey Dew finishing up a workout and berating the viewer. “They are finished at the gym, but they aren’t finished with you,” a rep said. “They saw you watching, but when you reveal the lack of your package, they can’t wait to humiliate you.” The clip can be found here.

Venom also appears in a nine-minute JOI clip for The Foot Fantasy; the fourth new clip this week features Mafra and Ryder having a wedgie battle for Best Wedgies.  

The week’s final new clip stars Quinn for Karate Domination. In this clip, a rep said, “You’ll help Kitty earn her orange belt, as she takes you down and commands you with JOI.”

SAN DIEGO — In an unusual ruling supporting a lawsuit sponsored by NCOSE (aka, Morality in Media) attempting to link adult industry studios to “human trafficking,” a California judge both ruled that, although the contracts signed by a former performer were valid, the arbitration agreements that were part of them should be disregarded and the lawsuit should move forward.

On Thursday, Senior U.S. District Judge Michael Anello, denied a motion by porn studios to implement the arbitration clauses in the contracts signed by a Jane Doe for scenes they had distributed.

According to the complaint she filed aided by anti-porn lobby NCOSE, the Jane Doe briefly worked in the adult industry around 2009-2010. At the time, she alleges, she was represented by someone named Cissy Steele (aka, Cissy Gerald), a person claiming to be an adult modeling agent.

The Jane Doe claims that her relationship with Steele, who is cited a main co-defendant, would fall under the definition of “human trafficking.”

But the complaint also names a number of adult studios and sites active a decade ago — Diabolic, Black Ice, Zero Tolerance, Third Degree, Elegant Angel, KNPB Media, Tubexxxone.com, Wreal, AV Entertainment, Asexbox.com and Excalibur Films — as co-defendants on the basis that they distributed scenes allegedly featuring the Jane Doe.

That lawsuit — which was promoted worldwide by NCOSE as a landmark moment in the anti-porn crusade they have been waging since the early 1960s — alleges that the studios “were instrumental in knowingly aiding, abetting, facilitating, and participating in Steele’s sex trafficking scheme, while knowing, or in reckless disregard of the fact, that she would use means of force, fraud, and/or coercion to force Jane Doe into engaging in commercial sex acts in violation of the Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act (‘TVPRA’).”

A Campaign Driven by NCOSE (aka Morality in Media)

On September 25, 2020, NCOSE issued a press statement titled “NCOSE Law Center Files First Ever Anti-Trafficking Lawsuit Against Pornography Producers on Behalf of Survivor.” The propaganda item was picked up without questions by mainstream outlets and also disseminated by NCOSE’s fellow War on Porn advocacy groups.

Judge Anello’s decision on Thursday allowing the NCOSE-promoted action to proceed without moderation, was considered highly peculiar in legal circles.

Even though he found the arbitration agreements “were valid,”  reported legal news site Courthouse News, “a federal judge Thursday nonetheless declined to enforce the agreements to avoid potential conflicting court rulings in a novel Trafficking Victims Protection Act case.”

Diabolic Video Productions, Black Ice, Zero Tolerance Entertainment and Third Degree Films claim the performer agreements signed by Doe are valid.

Doe claims she was forced by Steele to appear on the videos and surrender her earnings to the agent.

Visual Editorializing

Judge Anello’s denial of the adult studios’ motion to compel arbitration in the case, Courthouse News continued, “paves the way for Doe’s federal anti-trafficking lawsuit, touted by the National Center on Sexual Exploitation Law Center as the first filed against a pornography producer and online pornography website on behalf of a survivor, to go to trial.”

Courthouse News, however, chose to contradict their own report of the peculiar decision by visually editorializing with a stock black and white photo of the lower half of an anonymous barefoot woman grabbing her legs, unsubtly emphasizing the “human trafficking” angle pushed by NCOSE.

The Defense Speaks

XBIZ spoke to the studios’ attorney, Jonathan Brown, from noted industry firm Lipsitz Green Scime Cambria of Buffalo, New York, who said that while they are “disappointed in the decision, it is important to note that the motion had nothing to do with the merits of the case.”

“Our clients had nothing to do with the alleged sex trafficking that occurred over a decade ago, and we look forward to all of the facts coming out,” Brown added.

TOKYO — Social pressure surrounding the upcoming Tokyo Olympics has resulted in distribution troubles for traditional Japanese adult magazines, which have drastically harmed the already dwindling sector.

According to a report by Hanako Montgomery published today by Vice’s international news unit, “in the years since Japan won the bid to host the 2020 games, complaints mounted that the magazine covers were offensive to women and inappropriate in front of children.”

In the years leading up to the games’ original date of Summer 2020, “some of the country’s biggest convenience store chains — MiniStop, Lawson and 7-Eleven — said they would stop selling the publications altogether, accelerating the titles’ demise.”

The Tokyo Olympic Games were postponed to July 23-Aug 8, 2021, due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Fear of Being Seen as ‘Underdeveloped’

Mongomery interviewed Akira Ikoma, editor-in-chief of the porn magazine My Journey, said Japan is “hiding this part of the culture because they’re embarrassed.”

“Even sex stores with really dirty signs have been made to change or get rid of them in preparation for the Olympics,” Ikoma added. “They have to make Japan look like a developed country, and if they have these magazines out, the society looks underdeveloped.”

As with their U.S. counterparts, convenience stores (“conbini”) were traditionally leading channels of adult magazine distribution.

But bowing down to public pressure — with “save the children” campaigns that echo NCOSE’s long-running efforts to ban any magazine that discusses sexuality or shows swimsuit and underwear models from all American drugstores and supermarkets (e.g., Cosmopolitan, Sports Illustrated) — Japanese convenience stores chain have used the Olympics as an excuse for their “moral cleanup” efforts.

Last year, as rumors spread of the Olympics having to be cancelled, the Lawson chain stuck to their decision and recently told Vice that a cancellation of the games would have had “no effect on the discontinuation of conbini porn.”

Censorship Aims to Protect ‘the Image of Japan’

In January 2019, the Japan Times reported that the three aforementioned — and largest — convenience chain operators planned to remove pornographic magazines from their store shelves across the nation by the end of August that year.

One of the chains, FamilyMart, cast the censorship decision as something of a feminist gesture pitching “adult magazines for men” against “an increasingly diversified customer base.”

Another chain, Lawson, told the Japan Times that while previously their “main customers were men in their 20s and 30s,” more recently “we’ve seen more elderly people, women and children shopping at our stores.”

The spokesperson for Lawson alleged that “a surge in the number of international travelers coming to their stores these days” meant that “displaying sexually explicit magazines restricted to those aged 18 or older in stores could hurt the image of Japan.”

Both 7-11 and FamilyMart acknowledged that some franchisees might decide to continue selling adult magazines to retain their profitability.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Tim Miller, a Las Vegas transfer as the newly installed GM for The Love Boutique in Louisville, Kentucky, has announced an event for April 3 billed as the brick-and-mortar outlet’s first “Adult Easter Egg Hunt.”

“It will be a big challenge to social distance an event like this, but once you experience things on a Vegas scale, it’s even harder to picture them any other way,” Miller said. “It’s the right time to start kicking things back into gear downtown, let people know its okay to start having fun again.”

“Spring is the time for rebirth,” he added.

The “Adult Easter Egg Hunt” will involve groups of 20 who will have two minutes to search for a share of over 150 easter eggs containing prizes from sponsors like designer Andrew Christian and CalExotics. Participants have the chance to win over $10,000 worth of merchandise.

There will also be a special prize for “Best Easter Mask” taking the place of the traditional Easter bonnet, and a free raffle.

“The best part is we have decided to forego any admission or entrance fee, in an effort to bring people back to the downtown area, and try to get some entertainment going once again,” Miller shared.

The Love Boutique is located at 140 West Jefferson Street, Louisville, Kentucky, 40202.
