HOLLYWOOD, Calif. — Will Ryder and Scott David of X-Play are lauding September Reign’s performance in their feature, “Love, Sex & Music,” for Adam & Eve.

Naming Reign their “Actress of the Year,” the director/producer team enthused about Reign.

“Show me a better performance this year,” Ryder said.

“To be honest, I wasn’t sure what I was going to get with September,” he continued. “She had a long resume’ of work, but placing an entire feature movie in her hands took a leap of faith on our part and also from Adam & Eve. You have to understand, that if September is not believable in the role of Dixie, the movie dies instantly. It’s that simple.”

Reign praised the role.

“I’ve had some nice roles in the past but ‘Dixie’, the character I play, had some real depth to her, she was a real person with an impossible battle on her hands,” she said. 

“Love, Sex & Music” is streaming on Adam & Eve Plus.

SAN FRANCISCO — OnlyFans CEO Amrapali “Ami” Gan told a tech industry conference audience in San Francisco this week that she does not know how much the company is making from adult content creators.

Gan and OnlyFans Chief Strategy and Operations Officer Keily Blair appeared at the high-profile Disrupt conference organized by influential tech news site TechCrunch, which reported the statements.

For the past few months, Gan and Blair have made a 180-degree turn in visibility, becoming more accessible to mainstream media and making appearances at events such as Disrupt.

According to TechCrunch, OnlyFans is “putting a lot of effort into upcycling its image from an adult content subscription platform to a Patreon-like home for all kinds of creators.”

According to the site, Gan also “confirmed that adult content will still have a home on the site in five years, and those creators can continue to make a living on it,” although she did not elaborate on that prediction.

TechCrunch noted that the platform has been busy with efforts “to position itself as more than just a platform for NSFW content and that NSFW is being ring-fenced in a more responsible way. Its top execs like to use the more general euphemism of ‘spicy’ these days to refer to the work you find on there, and they like to talk about emerging categories on the platform like cooking and fitness.”

Gan stressed that under her leadership the company is actively working with politicians worldwide “to ensure that adult content is only being viewed by those who are legally allowed to do so.”

When asked about “just how much the company makes from adult content creators,” however, Gan and Blair claimed ignorance.

“We’d have to look at every single transaction on the platform and assign it,” Gan told the savvy tech audience at Disrupt, “and we’re not collecting [that] data.”

“Why is that important to people?” responded Blair, changing the subject.

According to TechCrunch, the more than 2 million creators on OnlyFans earned $4 billion in 2021, thanks to an audience of some 188 million fans, while OnlyFans’ profit for that year was $433 million. Considering the careful accounting that necessary entails, and the company’s self-reported attentiveness to adult content, the top executive’s straight-faced assertion that OnyFans does not know how much of that revenue comes from so-called “spicy” accounts may strike some as surprising.

LAS VEGAS — Lexi Luna was recently interviewed by Billie Schwab Dunn for the Daily Star.

Luna talked about why she entered the adult entertainment industry and how her new career actually allowed her to save for retirement as well as have control of her future.

She also discussed how performers are vilified by the media, politicians and religious leaders, and shares how sex work has allowed her to become happy and successful.

“I am so grateful to The Daily Star for this interview,” Luna said. “While I’ve done countless interviews and podcasts with porn-friendly publications and people, this interview is different. Being featured in more mainstream media allows me to share the positives of consensual sex work with a new audience.”

LONDON — Johnny Sins spoke to U.K. tabloid the Daily Star about his current career as an in-demand independent creator.

The 43-year-old male talent — and inspiration for many meme-makers — told the Daily Star that he “was shy and had a hard time talking to and approaching girls, but that all changed once he entered the adult entertainment industry.”

Sins, currently promoting an appearance at Sexpo Australia 2022, told the tabloid that in the beginning, he “was just interested in meeting and fucking girls,” but later realized “how much money you could make and really thought about it as a business.”

After moving to Los Angeles in 2006, Sins’ career took him to global prominence as one of Brazzers’ “go-to” male performers, before he made the switch to indie production in mid-2020 during the pandemic.

The veteran performer with the signature shaved pate told the Daily Star that a career highlight has been “building the Sins brand and SinsLife” with partner Kissa Sins.

Performers with his established fanbase, he noted, can now start  their own production companies and sell their own content.

“I started my own production company so I would have the ability to shoot exactly what I want and who I want to shoot with,” Sins said. “So instead of making a paycheck for one scene with a production company, you can sell the scene over and over for as long as possible, which makes it much more profitable.”

Because he now has these options, the social-media-friendly performer notes, he “won’t be shooting full-time again for companies.”

Sins did, however, leave the door open to making appearances in scenes “for a few companies moving forward.” He also expressed a desire to shoot in Europe, saying, “Barcelona, Prague and Budapest are a few places I’d like to go.”

TOKYO — Indie fetish content creator and self-styled “poet of pornography” Axel Abysse is commemorating the fifth anniversary of his eponymous paysite with the release of “Stains.”

The scene features a 25-minute, five-man orgy featuring Abysse with Yoshi Kawasaki, Reid Rose, Jordan Tannahill and Jake Rockard.

“‘Stains’ contains kink, fisting, raw fucking and watersports, and is shot in a classic studio aesthetic,” said a rep. “Lighting is dark and reddish, and the location is a moody dungeon.”

Director Matt Spike enthused about the scene. 

“I have never filmed something as exciting as this,” he said. “I barely needed to press the stop button on the camera. The action took place on a central table in the middle of the dungeon and I walked around the edge with the camera. It seemed everywhere I pointed the camera something exciting happened, the guys letting me in close to the action when I needed.”

Abysse shared his vision for the scene.

“With ‘Stains,’ I wanted a polished, more classical approach to the studio aesthetic I often try to avoid, because… why not?” he said. “It’s fun to once in a while go back to this old-school fantasy of aroused pigs getting together in a dungeon. The difference from gay studio work is… we’re still doing whatever we like, how we like, we’re not pretending to be rougher or more ‘masc’ than we actually are and not following any direction other than where our primal instincts lead us towards: being total pigs.”

The scene is streaming now on AxelAbysse.com; follow Abysse on Twitter.

VANCOUVER, B.C. — Nadia LeDrew welcomed Mia Miranda to the most recent episode of “Oops! – Orgasm Oracle Podcast Show.”

The episode “Sex Workers are Saving the World” spotlights model, singer/songwriter, and OnlyFans creator Miranda, who claims that sex work is “such a complex job, there really isn’t one stereotypical sex worker.”

Miranda also admitted to her new ability in reaching orgasms, with LeDrew’s help .

“It took a while. I could only do it one way, it was a very specific way, and I couldn’t really break out of that mold. But then you and I started doing our coaching, and now I feel like I can orgasm in so many different ways; by myself, with random partners, with one-night stands. And I also know what to say to a guy; I’m able to, first of all, advocate for myself. As a result, I’m horny all the time.”
