NEW YORK — Alison Rey will headline a one-night-only performance at the Sapphire 39 gentlemen’s club this Saturday.

After her Saturday night performance, Rey will also hold a meet and greet session in which people can get autographs, take pictures and purchase some of her merchandise.

“I am so stoked to be going to New York to feature dance,” Rey said.

“For my entire career, people have been asking me if I’ll be coming to the East Coast for conventions and I’ve never made it over that way before. I think dancing in New York is a great opportunity for those fans to not only come see me live and in person, but also get up close and personal with me,” Rey added.

OTTAWA — A Canadian senator and anti-porn crusader who has collaborated with religiously motivated U.S. conservative groups has inserted a controversial amendment into a pending bill, requiring platforms to enact age verification systems if they allow any depictions of sexual content.

Sen. Julie Miville-Dechêne (Independent, Quebec/Inkerman) on Tuesday persuaded a Senate committee to amend Bill C-11, a broadcasting regulation bill proposed by the ruling Liberal government of Justin Trudeau.

Miville-Dechêne’s amendment, Canada’s National Post reported yesterday, “added the requirement for online platforms to verify the age of users accessing pornography, a move internet law experts say is likely unconstitutional.”

Miville-Dechêne’s amendment mandates that “online undertakings shall implement methods such as age-verification methods to prevent children from accessing programs on the internet that are devoted to depicting, for a sexual purpose, explicit sexual activity.”

The law offers no specific guidelines for implementing its age verification requirement, and — like similar measures endorsed by the Canadian Parliament’s leading anti-porn crusader, Arnold Viersen, or U.S. religious activists Laila Mickelwait and NCOSE’s Dawn Hawkins — the wording of the amendment is vague and imprecise. However, Miville-Dechêne has repeatedly explained that her campaign is targeting what she calls “pornographic websites,” chiefly Montreal-headquartered Pornhub.

Miville-Dechêne has been noncommittal about mainstream sites that currently tolerate sexual content, such as Twitter or Reddit.

The committee, the National Post reports, “passed the amendment on Tuesday, with seven senators voting in favor, five opposing it and two abstaining. The amendment was supported by Conservative senators who have been some of the most vocal critics of Bill C-11’s potential to affect freedom of expression, including committee chair Leo Housakos, while Sen. Marc Gold, the representative of the Liberal government in the Senate, opposed it.”

This amended version of Bill C-11 must be approved by the full Senate and then go back to the House of Commons before it becomes law.

University of Ottawa law professor Vivek Krishnamurthy told the National Post that the age verification requirements added to the bill “raise serious constitutional concerns. Everyone wants to protect children from age-inappropriate content, but requiring Canadians to prove their age before accessing such content poses unacceptable privacy risks.”

A Relentless, Unelected Anti-Porn Zealot

As XBIZ reported, in 2020, Miville-Dechêne introduced Bill S-203, the Protecting Young Persons from Exposure to Pornography Act, which also neglected to specify what age verification would look like in practice. In July 2021, Canada’s federal privacy commissioner warned that the bill could increase the risk of revealing users’ private browsing habits.

Bill S-203 would have subjected to criminal sanctions “pornographic websites that do not effectively verify users’ age before providing access to sexually explicit material” and would have given the Minister of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness — an unelected official and political appointee — the power to “order internet service providers to block access to sites that contravene provisions of this bill.”

Miville-Dechêne is an unelected official; Canadian Senators are appointed. A former journalist and broadcaster, she does not appear to have specialized knowledge of universal technical and systemic issues regarding third-party content moderation on the internet.

A “Feminist” Canadian Ally of US Religious Conservatives

In June 2021, Miville-Dechêne spoke to the francophone CBC outlet Radio Canada for an in-depth piece on the religious motivation of the current anti-Pornhub crusade spearheaded by MP Arnold Viersen with the support of U.S. anti-porn crusader Laila Mickelwait of the Exodus Cry ministry.

She told Radio Canada that although she does not share the ideology of Exodus Cry, she tackles the issue of sexual exploitation “under a feminist angle.”

“The issue of children watching online porn as well as the presence of illegal content on porn sites have gathered a large coalition of Canadian citizens who are ideologically different, but who agree with each other on these two precise objectives,” she added.

However, in April, Miville-Dechêne said that “protecting children against pornography is both a health and a public safety issue,” echoing NCOSE and Exodus Cry terminology about an alleged “public health crisis” around watching porn and about “porn addiction,” a concept that has been repeatedly debunked.

“Exposing minors, especially boys, to online porn is associated with a number of harmful effects: addiction, aggressive sexual behaviors, fear, anxiety and an increase in sexist beliefs that particularly affect girls and women,” she told the committee.

PATTAYA, Thailand — AEBN co-founder Jay Strowd is this week’s guest on “Adult Site Broker Talk.”

Strowd touched upon co-launching AEBN’s streaming media platform in 1999; a feat that only took five people to create. Reflecting on his career, Strowd talked about his various jobs, being the “voice” of AEBN and being behind the scenes for years.

“It was an honor to have Jay on the podcast,” Adult Site Broker CEO Bruce shared. “We had a lively conversation about the adult industry including where it’s been, where it’s at today and where it’s going.”

This latest interview can be found here.

When Zaawaadi first visited the Venus Berlin Erotic Market in 2018, it was was an eye-opener for her, as she realized the many opportunities the industry offered. While working as a nurse in a German hospital, modeling for fashion and doing erotic photography, she soon began camming on MyDirtyHobby.

“I really loved my nursing job, but it involved very bad working conditions with too much pressure, extra hours and not enough money,” she shared. “So in 2019, I returned to the Venus Berlin event as a cam model with my own small little booth and I met Tiffany Tatum there, who introduced me to Rocco Siffredi.”

That fateful meeting led to two major production opportunities, as she shot with Beate-Uhse TV and Pierre Woodman, who created her first adult videos. Then came a major milestone with Siffredi in Budapest for her award-winning Evil Angel movie, “My Name Is Zaawaadi,” for which she later won the highly-coveted XBIZ Europa Award for Best Gonzo Sex Scene.

“It was fun… more fun than anything,” Zaawaadi recalled. “I filmed with lots of nice people, getting naked, touching sexy men and so many hot beautiful women. I loved it!”

Now, with over 100,000 followers and 45,000 likes on OnlyFans, as well as her own production company, Zaawaadi has established herself as an in-demand star. Join her as she sheds light on her experiences, personal growth and upcoming goals in this exclusive interview.

XBIZ: How has leaving your home country and working in adult changed your life?

ZAAWAADI: I found out that I love men and women and need sex with both. Today, I feel more and more liberated from the shackles of my youth in Kenya; I grew up in the countryside where everything is Catholic, conservative and taboo. My body was taboo, my lust was taboo, my vagina was taboo and loving women was taboo. You know many young girls get pregnant by men against their will, but contraception is also taboo? It´s a man’s world there. But I often miss my home so badly, as well as my family and the view of the wide savanna.

XBIZ: What studios and directors do you most enjoy working for?

ZAAWAADI: Beate-Uhse TV/TMC Content Group, Pierre Woodman and Rocco Siffredi are very serious and experienced production studios, so it was very fortunate for me to meet them early in my career. I was able to learn a lot and I always felt safe, because they all care well for their actors.

Working for Dorcel, Vixen, Digital Playground, MariskaX, MixedX, Sinful XXX and Sex Art is always a big thing for me; you are motivated to give it your all, because the movies have such a high quality nowadays. The production teams are very professional and some locations are just, wow! The actors are beautiful and stunning too.

Plus, there are production studios offering their content more and more on big TV streaming platforms such as Adult Time, Erotic Lounge, Blue Movie, Dorcel TV, etc. That means more content for couples watching on the couch and for customers who want high-quality entertainment with hot sex, beautiful actors and more storylines. For these companies, you need to act much more and I like this trend a lot. Production for Ersties is enjoyable too, because it focuses on authentic sex with natural women; you don´t have the feeling that it’s only a product. I can feel like a woman.

XBIZ: Discuss a few of your favorite shoots from this past year.

ZAAWAADI: My productions with Luna Star and Danny D for Digital Playground and Brazzers were hot… believe me! Working for Dorcel in France left a very big impression and was an honor for me; it’s really high-class luxury porn.

I always love productions with MariskaX at Dacada Studios in Germany. It’s a family atmosphere with her and Dacada. I still learn a lot from them and we have fun and sex at work.

I also shot in the Bavarian mountains this year for new episodes on Beate-Uhse TV, which was great fun. We did it everywhere, from nature to the stables.

Of course, I shot for my own production brand, Zaawaadi Media, which was a lot of work this year, but we smashed it! The different scenes I’ve shot include sex with Mugur, Raul Costa, Amirah Adara, Cherry Kiss and Angelika Grays.

XBIZ: What else besides studio scenes do you do?

ZAAWAADI: I have done a lot of VR videos, which you can find on sites such as SexLikeReal. I also love to make solo and custom videos for my OnlyFans; dare to ask me to fulfill your desires. Photographers can also book me and bring their ideas to life. TikTok is fun for me, too; you will find silly things there from me.

XBIZ: How do you balance your time and energy?

ZAAWAADI: I sleep a lot and enjoy my life, cooking Kenyan food, spending time with my family and some close friends — though as a self-employed individual in bureaucratic Germany, I’m also always drowning in paperwork! After a long COVID break for years, it’s nice to have fun parties again. We also spend time outside in the forests surrounding us a lot. As well, I stay in contact with my friends and family in Kenya, while also being a member of the local fitness studio and drilling my ass there for more curves.

XBIZ: Tell us about your upcoming Zaawaadi Media project.

ZAAWAADI: Everybody needs their own website, I believe. Social media will come and go, with rules to ban porn stars and adult content regularly changing. You can’t rely on them. So you will find my self-produced videos, news, pictures and contact information on Zaawaadi.com. You can buy some credit points and watch what you like there.

Since I’m living in Germany, we have to use age verification for everything. I use the Yoti app from the U.K. for this; it’s always free for the customers, doesn’t collect personal private data and it can be used anywhere for age verification, whether in a club or buying alcohol in a shop.

XBIZ: How do you handle social media marketing?

ZAAWAADI: Ugh, sometimes I feel I have to cut myself into 1,000 pieces. On the one hand, you need to advertise yourself everywhere, because there are so many social media platforms today. On the other hand, every social media has its own content, requiring you to present yourself in various ways.

Without a doubt, it’s a lot of work all the time, but it also makes it a lot of fun to explore yourself alongside people from so many different cultures. It is important to be yourself and to accept that not everybody will like you, though. I’m often sad that in my home country, an adult actress is in many people’s view only a dirty whore. But this shows me again that conservative and intolerant people in Africa are still a majority.

XBIZ: What was it like speaking on advice panels at XBIZ Berlin and then winning Best Gonzo Sex Scene at the XBIZ Europas?

ZAAWAADI: The ground opened up. I was terribly nervous most of the time because I am not used to talking in public. I’m still very shy, believe me! But despite shivering a lot, it was an unforgettable and great experience for me being able to interact with very interesting people and explore unique things in the workshops. I absorbed a lot of new information. Then yeah, wow! I didn’t expect to win again and I was shocked, but it seems that there are a bunch of people who love my ass! I feel blessed, of course.

XBIZ: Talk about your long-term dreams for the future.

ZAAWAADI: Oh, you really want to hear my fancy dreams? First, I will go to the cinema and watch “Wakanda Forever,” dreaming about playing a little part in a movie like that one day. Of course, the Kenyan Lupita Nyong’o is my idol. I hope I’ll get the option to visit the United States, since I’ve never been there. And I want to make more high-quality and self-produced content, of course. May God bless my family, keeping us healthy and together as long as possible!

I have a good friend in Kenya who is an engineer for environmental protection. You can see the climate change in the north of Kenya every day more and more. The cattle are dead, the water is salty and the people are suffering. This is what is waiting for our children: dead earth. So I hope to support a project to unsalt and clean the water for drinking, even if this will not change much, like merely a drop on a hot stone.

Thank you so much, though, for giving me the chance to talk about my thoughts and feelings here!
