RICHMOND, Va. — The Virginia House of Delegates is considering a bill that would impose a 10% tax on the gross receipts of adult websites doing business in that state.

House member Eric Zehr’s HB 720 would levy a new 10% tax on the gross receipts of “any commercial entity operating an adult website for all sales, distributions, memberships, subscriptions, performances, and other content amounting to material harmful to minors that is produced, sold, filmed, generated, or otherwise based in the Commonwealth.”

In what could be an early signal of a new “copycat” trend, reminiscent of the numerous state age verification bills introduced in the wake of Louisiana’s 2022 AV law, the bill includes wording essentially identical to a similar proposal currently pending in the Utah state legislature, which calls for a 7% tax on adult sites.

Alabama imposed a similar 10% tax last year, and state senators in Pennsylvania have since floated the idea of doing the same, citing “successful approaches in other jurisdictions.”

Most recently, a candidate seeking the Republican gubernatorial nomination in Florida attracted media coverage by calling for a 50% “sin tax” on the earnings of OnlyFans models residing in the Sunshine State.

Revenue from the proposed new tax in Virginia would be directed to the state’s Behavioral Health and Developmental Services Trust Fund, which was created to support care and treatment for individuals receiving public mental health, developmental and substance abuse services.

That provision echoes a similar directive in the Utah bill.

NEW YORK — Intimacy coach Elle Chase will be one of five featured guides for “Reclaiming Love,” a live online event taking place on Feb. 14, created by women for women to reconnect with their self-worth, creativity, intuition, eroticism, and emotional abundance.
 
“Reclaiming Love” is billed as “a two-hour immersive experience focused on releasing patterns of self-sacrifice and returning to the inner resources that support confidence, connection, and self-trust,” said a rep.

Chase joins Jemma Rane, Afsha Butt, Chrys Violet, and Emma Hogan as co-creators and guides for the event, with each leading a distinct pillar of the program.
 
Chase’s segment centers on eroticism, exploring pleasure, presence, and embodiment as practical pathways back to desire, creativity, and a more grounded relationship with self.

“‘Reclaiming Love’ is about remembering what we were never meant to lose,” said Chase. “So many women have been taught to pour themselves into others while abandoning themselves. This event is an invitation to come back home to your own worth, your own intuition, and your own pleasure.”

LOS ANGELES — Mandii Rose has made her debut for Evil Angel alongside multi-XMAs winner Mick Blue.

Directed by Blue and Maestro Claudio, the scene opens with Rose “dancing for the camera in black fishnets and a mesh top,” the synopsis reveals. “Mandii sits down on the couch, and Mick Blue walks her through a little demonstration of her assets. Soon, Mick has Mandii spread-eagled, playing with herself, which is when he steps in to lick her pussy. Mick then slowly enters Mandii and does her in missionary, before pushing her legs behind her head and switching to anal.”

Rose enthused about the shoot.

“Talk about shooting the moon,” she said. “How many girls get to say that their first-ever Evil Angel shoot is with an icon like Mick Blue, both in front of and behind the camera? And while another legend like Claudio runs the show? I am a very, very lucky girl.”

The scene is streaming on EvilAngel.
