LOS ANGELES — Glamour magazine has published a list of the 11 “Best Long-Distance Sex Toys to Have Fun From Afar.”

The list is topped by the We-Vibe Sync couples’ vibrator, which writer Suzannah Weiss describes as a toy that allows couples to “have a fun sex life using the Sync even when one is out of town.”

The feature points out that, thanks to technology, “the best long-distance sex toys now offer so many ways to connect with your partner sexually even when you’re in a long-distance relationship or one of you is traveling.”

The current batch of toys’ innovative approach by connectivity, Weiss notes, put “a twist on classic vibrators, suction toys, butt plugs, prostate massagers, and more, allowing you to lay back and let someone else do the work.”

“Some people enjoy the element of surprise that this enables — others appreciate the feeling of closeness it can provide with long-distance partners,” the Glamour writer added.

Besides list-topper We-Vibe Sync couples’ vibrator, the roster of Glamour’s top long-distance toys includes Kiiroo Onyx+ Interactive male masturbator, We-Vibe Moxie panty vibrator, Kiiroo Pearl2 G-Spot vibrator, Lovehoney Desire panty vibrator, Kiiroo OhMiBod Esca 2 G-Spot bullet vibrator, Vibease panty vibrator, Lovense Nora rabbit vibrator, We-Vibe Melt Pleasure Air clitoral stimulator, Lovense Max male masturbator and the We-Vibe Pivot vibrating cock ring.

The Glamour selections include choices for those with vulvas and those with penises.

NEW YORK — Ashley West and April Hall of The Rialto Report were recently tapped to serve as consulting producers on the Netflix docuseries, “Crime Scene: The Times Square Killer.”

Director Joe Berlinger delves into the story of the “Torso Killer,” which begins, noted a rep, “as firemen respond to a call at a seedy hotel in the middle of Times Square in December 1979.”

“What they discover among the smoke and ash shocks even the most seasoned city homicide detectives, triggering a hunt for a vicious serial killer who preyed upon sex workers operating within Times Square’s then-booming, anything-goes sex industry,” the rep said.

“With exclusive access to Jennifer Weiss, the daughter of one of the victims, the series also underscores her efforts to identify others who have remained Jane Does, lost to an infamous, long-gone time and place,” added the rep.

The series premieres Wednesday, Dec. 29 on Netflix; a trailer can be found on YouTube.

LOS ANGELES — Retired male performer Joey Ray has passed away, according to a close industry friend.

Ray’s death at 51 was reported by fellow retired male talent Dale DaBone through a post and a video on his Facebook page. According to DaBone — who had been estranged from Ray for a time but felt they were “like brothers” — the cause of death was a self-inflicted gunshot.

Ray’s IAFD page lists almost 800 scenes and titles. The Boston native was active in the industry between 2000 and 2012; he also became a director for Bang Bros in 2009.

Ray performed for major studios such as Vivid, Wicked, Digital Playground, Elegant Angel, Hustler, Adam & Eve and many others.

“Now, the only thing I can think of is 25 years of all the fun, crazy, dumb shit we used to do,” said DaBone. “We always had each other’s back. All those times. That’s all I can think of right now.”

Richelle Ryan tweeted, “So sad hearing the news of the passing of Joey Ray; he was my scene partner for my first shoot in the industry back in July of 2006. Rest easy.”

XBIZ will continue adding to this report as more information becomes available.

LONDON — OnlyFans has unveiled a new winged “OF” logo that replaces its signature closed padlock “O” logo.

The redesign was unveiled around the same time the company announced CEO Tim Stokely was stepping down and leaving executive operations in the hands of erstwhile Head of Marketing Ami Gan.

The new logo keeps the same blue-and-white palette as the former logo. It was until this point a logo only used in connection to the company’s SFW app OFTV, which Gan said would be one of her priorities as CEO.

Yesterday, an OnlyFans spokesperson told Gizmodo that the platform “remains committed to being an inclusive platform for all of its creators to share content that meets its terms of service.”

Both Gan and the spokesperson declined to directly answer several press inquiries about whether OnlyFans remains committed to supporting sexually explicit creators and sex workers, after this year’s short-lived attempt to expel them from the service.

Exiting CEO Tim Stokely posted a farewell message on his Instagram.

“I have taken the decision to step down from my position as CEO of [OnlyFans parent company] Fenix International to focus on my next challenge,” he wrote. “In 2016, I launched the platform OnlyFans.com. Working from my brother’s kitchen table, it would have been impossible to dream of what we achieved. I’d like to thank all of my colleagues, but the most important thank you is to all of the content creators… you made OnlyFans what it is today.”

Stokely said he “would like to congratulate [his] successor, Ami [Gan] who has a deep passion for OnlyFans. I’m passing the baton on to a colleague and a friend, who has the vision and drive to help the organization reach tremendous potential. Looking forward to 2022, I’m excited for what’s coming.”

“But in the meantime, I’d like to wish everyone a merry Christmas and Happy New Year,” Stokely concluded.
