MONTREAL — Nutaku has opened the pre-registration phase for “Long Lost Lust,” the third and newest RPG from creators Tender Troupe.
The adults-only title is also enjoying a soft launch in a handful of markets around the world.
“As a pre-registration reward, players will be able to get early access to smoking-hot baker ‘Bethany’ once the game goes live,” noted a rep. “The Tender Troupe team continues to deliver their signature art style and promises enticing tantalizing experiences for fans as their previous successful titles ‘Booty Farm’ and ‘Kink Inc.'”

Tender Troupe’s commitment is simple: ensure player participation at every level of their development cycle,” continued the Nutaku rep. “This mantra explains the success of their previous games and fuels this next ambitious title.”
A free-to-play, idle combat RPG, “Long Lost Lust” allows players to enter “an epic adventure with a wide cast of diverse characters, to break the curse by the Goddess of Despair and restore the sexual appetite,” the rep concluded.

LOS ANGELES — Entrepreneur and self-styled “adorable Domme” Miss Mae Ling was a featured guest on a recent episode of the “Masocast” podcast and spoke about the process of exploring new kinks.
She also chats about “keeping a balance between her personal and professional kinky life,” noted a rep. “A healthy balance where one is comfortable and satiated by their personal partners and submissives will create a sustainable relationship for everyone.”
“There should be an inkling that hints towards a person’s interest in what they are willing to try or are curious about. All you have to do is pry a bit more to get there and do it,” the Domme enthused.
In related news, Miss Mae Ling penned a new essay for her blog hat explores the similarities between femdom and organized religion, and offered a new Dino Dick in “Sex Worker Red,” the latest version of her novelty toy that went viral in December, 2020.

“The fun kicks off with Cyrus stripping out of business attire to show off his hot muscles and tattoos,” teased a rep. “The six-foot-plus stud teases himself before letting his partner get to work climbing him and lubing him, sniffing, licking and kissing her hung lover from head-to-toe.”
The customary SeeHimFuck sequence of custom eroticism ensues.
“Madi really blew my mind in this scene,” said King. “She ate my ass like the proverbial champion, mouthily worshipped my cock and was really rewarded with a randy rogering.”
“Thanks again for an amazing site debut — I can’t wait to come back and do it all over again,” King added.
BERLIN — FSC Europe, the recently founded European chapter of industry trade group Free Speech Coalition (FSC), has released a petition and a statement calling on the European Commission to “protect the rights of sexuality professionals, artists and educators” while drafting the E.U.’s new Digital Services Act.
As the European Union prepares to implement a new set of rules to govern digital services platforms and protect the user’s online rights, the Free Speech Coalition is petitioning for sex workers and sexuality professionals, artists and educators not to be excluded or discriminated against any longer. The organization proposes 10 steps to a safer digital space that protects the rights of those working within the sphere of sexuality — already some of society’s already most marginalized people — and to demand transparency from the platforms, which, as the European Commission itself states, “have become integral parts of our daily lives, economies, societies and democracies.”
Sexual Expression is Being Banned Online
Sex in almost all its guises is being repressed in the public online sphere and on social media like never before. Accounts focused on sexuality — from sexuality professionals, adult performers and sex workers to artists, activists and LGBTQI folks, publications and organizations — are being deleted without warning or explanation and with little regulation by private companies that are currently able to enforce discriminatory changes to their terms and conditions without explanation or accountability to those affected by these changes. Additionally, in many cases it is impossible for the users to have their accounts reinstated — accounts that are often vitally linked to the users’ ability to generate income, network, organize and share information.
Unpacking the Digital Services Act (DSA)
At the same time as sexual expression is being erased from digital spaces, new legislation is being passed in the European Union to safeguard internet users’ online rights. The European Commission’s Digital Services Act and Digital Markets Act encompass upgraded rules governing digital services with their focus, in part, being building a safer and more open digital space. These rules will apply to online intermediary services used by millions every day, including major platforms such as Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. Amongst other things, they advocate for greater transparency from platforms, better protected consumers and empowered users.
With the DSA promising to “shape Europe’s digital future” and “to create a safer digital space in which the fundamental rights of all users of digital services are protected”, it’s time to demand that it’s a future that includes those working, creating, organizing and educating in the realm of sexuality. As we consider what a safer digital space can and should look like, it’s also time to challenge the pervasive and frankly puritanical notion that sexuality — a normal and healthy part of our lives — is somehow harmful, shameful or hateful.
How the DSA Can Get It Right
The DSA is advocating for “effective safeguards for users, including the possibility to challenge platforms’ content moderation decisions.” In addition to this, the Free Speech Coalition Europe demands the following:
Platforms need to put in place anti-discrimination policies and train their content moderators so as to avoid discrimination on the base of gender, sexual orientation, race, or profession — the same community guidelines need to apply as much to an A-list celebrity or mainstream media outlet as they do to a stripper or queer collective;
Platforms must provide the reason to the user when a post is deleted or account is restricted or deleted. Shadowbanning is an underhanded means for suppressing users’ voices. Users should have the right to be informed when they are shadowbanned and to challenge the decision;
Platforms must allow for the user to request a revision of a content moderation’s decision, platforms must ensure moderation actions take place in the users’ location, rather than arbitrary jurisdictions which may have different laws or custom; e.g., a user in Germany cannot be banned by reports and moderation in the Middle East, and must be reviewed by the European moderation team;
Decision-making on notices of reported content as specified in Article 14 of the DSA should not be handled by automated software, as these have proven to delete content indiscriminately. A human should place final judgement;
The notice of content as described in Article 14.2 of the DSA should not immediately hold a platform liable for the content as stated in Article 14.3, since such a liability will entice platforms to delete indiscriminately after report for avoiding such liability, which enables organized hate groups to mass report and take down users;
Platforms must provide for a department (or, at the very least, a dedicated contact person) within the company for complaints regarding discrimination or censorship;
Platforms must provide a means to indicate whether you are over the age of 18 as well as providing a means for adults to hide their profiles and content from children (e.g. marking profiles as 18+); Platforms must give the option to mark certain content as “sensitive”;
Platforms must not reduce the features available to those who mark themselves as adult or adult-oriented (i.e. those who have marked their profiles as 18+ or content as “sensitive”). These profiles should then appear as 18+ or “sensitive” when accessed without log in or without set age, but should not be excluded from search results or appear as “non-existing”;
Platforms must set clear, consistent and transparent guidelines about what content is acceptable, however, these guidelines cannot outright ban users focused on adult themes; e.g., you could ban highly explicit pornography (e.g., sexual intercourse videos which show penetration), but you’d still be able to post an edited video that doesn’t show penetration;
Platforms cannot outright ban content intended for adult audiences, unless a platform is specifically for children, or >50% of their active users are children.
LOS ANGELES — Pornhub has announced ad revenue will be boosted for free-to-view videos starting April 1 for participants in their Model Program.
“As you know, we started out the new year by promising our Model community transparency and support through these difficult times,” a statement published in the company’s blog and promoted via Twitter explained. “Not only has the world, in general, experienced change and transformation in the last year but the adult industry, too.”
For the last three months, the statement continued, the company “offered a payout bonus to our models to show our appreciation for your patience, suggestions and dedication while we continue working on reinstating credit card transactions.”
Starting on April, 1, the statement revealed, ad revenue for free-to-view videos will be increasing by over 15%, a number the company claims to be “the highest ad revenue payout of any adult site.”
“We currently pay out 80%-plus of the ad revenue that your video earns, and that’s based on the performance of the ads around your video,” the statement continued. “And now with the over 15% increase, free-to-view videos continue to be a great way to earn money on Pornhub and grow your own brand with the help of 150 million daily users.”
With the change of ad revenue, the company will no longer be doing the additional bonuses.
The breakdown of the changes, in Pornhub’s words, is as follows:
Ad revenue will increase by over 15% for free-to-view videos
This continues to be the highest ad revenue payout of any adult site
This is a permanent change for the Pornhub Model Program
You can increase it by another 5% if you opt-in for Exclusivity, which will also allow us to protect your content (click here)
This ad revenue will continue even if we reinstate credit card transactions
LOS ANGELES — LELO’s latest high-profile vibrator, the Enigma, has been highlighted today by Vice.
Describing LELO as “the Tesla of sex toy companies,” Vice referred to the Enigma Dual Stimulation Sonic Massager as “the wünderkid [from] the ‘crème de la creampie’ of vibrator companies.”
“Love ‘dual stimulation,’” the piece asked readers. “LELO has a new, sexy Gonzo nose for a combined clitoral/G-spot orgasm that uses sonic pulse technology.”
Writer Mary Francis Knapp wrote that “the Enigma vibrator lives up to its name as a mysteriously sentient, self-sufficient multitasker that promises to pleasure thee on a clitoral, vaginal and erogenous level.”
“It’s built to last, with a 10-year warranty, vying to outlive every other relationship we’ve had, apparently,” Knapp added. “It’s also ideal for folks with sensitive clits, as the sonic wave technology doesn’t make direct contact; it just sends ‘X-Men’ vibrational waves onto the clit instead, whilst ‘the inner part vibrates in sync with the sonic waves, stimulating your G-spot.’”
LOS ANGELES — Sohimi has released the Hedgehog clit vibe that also features suction, as well as a penis pump that can also be used as a masturbator.
According to the company, the Sohimi Hedgehog is a pressure wave device that “uses jets of air” to stimulate the clit and promises an orgasm within 30 seconds. The stimulator features six sucking patterns and seven vibration modes, and the head of toy is ergonomically angled. It’s made from body-safe silicone and comes with a magnetic charger.
The Sohimi Penis Vacuum Pump features four intensity levels and according to the company, will show results “only after a few uses.” The pump can also be used as a penis masturbator and as a vagina pump. The pump is made of PC and ABS material, features an LCD display and charges via USB.
