LOS ANGELES — Assembly Four, described as an “Australia-based collective of sex workers and technologists that creates products and services to help sex workers thrive,” has joined SexWorkCEO (SWCEO) as a premier sponsor.
Co-Founder Lola Hunt said the collective is “thrilled” to commit funds and resources to SWCEO.
“We’re seeing a new wave of resources and tools made by and for sex workers, such as SexWorkCEO, enabling sex workers to work smarter, safer and more creatively. It’s really fantastic work and we wanted to support it,” Hunt added.
A free business resource and advocacy site for online sex workers, SWCEO was launched by veteran content creator and entrepreneur MelRose Michaels on International Sex Workers Day this past June.
“I’m beyond thankful to Assembly Four for their generosity and support,” Michaels said. “Our goal is to empower the sex work community and to make sure that the tools and resources they need are available to them for free. What an incredibly powerful message this is to send to our industry, with leading innovators in the adult space like Assembly Four behind us, helping to fuel the current paradigm shift that is putting all the power into sex worker’s hands.”
Each sponsor is “personally vetted” by Michael to ensure they remain committed to developing “sex work first” products.
“We want to make sure our sponsors truly want to impact the sex work community in a positive way,” said Michaels. “It’s important to me to keep SWEO as a free platform for all sex workers, and thanks to incredible sponsors like Assembly Four, we’re able to offset the costs of producing, distributing and organizing our courses. In return, we offer our sponsors the opportunity to educate models on how to use their products and services, as well as to demonstrate their alignment with sex work community values.”

LOS ANGELES — Vixen Media Group has unveiled a new billboard in Hollywood, at the intersection of North Highland and Franklin Avenues, featuring Maitland Ward.
The billboard promotes “Muse 2,” directed by three-time XBIZ award-winning “Director of the Year” Kayden Kross.
“‘Muse 2,’ with its scope, production and script, was an endeavor like no other. Playing this character was a challenge I hungrily accepted,” Ward enthused. “This season she is less the hunter and more the prey, which enabled to reach such a profound emotional space as an actress. And as a performer, I was able to really unleash all of this internal turmoil into my scenes in a raw, animalistic way. ‘Muse 2’ really took porn to a whole new level so seeing it lit up like that on a pedestal for the whole city to see just makes me so proud.”
The supporting cast includes Vanna Bardot, Avery Christy, Lulu Chu, Destiny Cruz, Manuel Ferrara, Aubrey Kate, Lena Paul and Ivy Wolfe.
“It is an absolute honor to see ‘Muse 2’ showcased in the center of Hollywood at this level,” said Kross. “A lot went into this film and it touches on a number of timely issues people are facing today. Maitland executed this role better than it was written and showed why ‘Muse 2’ is just the start for adult films crossing over into mainstream territory.”
The feature is now available on Deeper.com.

LOS ANGELES — Actresses Gwyneth Paltrow and Jada Pinkett Smith have touted the latest episode of the latter’s chat show, “Red Table Talk,” as a discussion on “how pornography is harmful to women.”
Paltrow is currently promoting her Netflix series “Sex, Love & Goop.” Neither actress has any training on health issues or sexuality studies.
According to a promotional preview piece exclusively given today to “Entertainment Tonight,” Pinkett Smith, who previously acknowledged having “an unhealthy relationship with porn” on a prior episode of “Red Table Talk,” said pornography “‘really messed us up’ because it almost exclusively focuses on the man’s pleasure.”
With that generalization, the actresses do not proceed to specify what kind of sexual content could be broadly classified as “pornography.”
“I’m supposed to be there for every whim, every pleasure, it’s like, ‘whoa, whoa, whoa,'” Pinkett Smith continued. “And the women’s pleasure doesn’t even matter! It’s not even thought about!”
Paltrow, Entertainment Tonight reported, agreed with her colleague, noting that “another reason why pornography is bad for women is because it gives the message to young women that being sexually desirable is the most important trait to have.”
The lead actress of the mainstream movie “Seven” — involving the depiction of gruesome murders and an iconic decapitation — says she finds porn “disturbing” due to “the imagery that comes out and the consciousness that comes out around porn.”
“I feel like girls,” Paltrow shared, “young girls — are getting the message that they have to be fuckable. Like, that’s the number-one priority, right? It’s so awful, right, and it’s like, it’s doing such a disservice.”
The conversation appears to be entirely focused on the sexual development of cis straight women. Neither actress discusses the role of porn in the self-discovery of queer or trans people.
Paltrow ‘Neutral About Sex,’ Stigmatizing About Sex Work
“It’s so weird, I don’t know, I feel like we’re living in a such weird time because we’re making all these incredible advances and then we’re going backwards with all these other things,” stated Paltrow, who owns a website that sells the most expensive versions of pleasure products and was successfully sued for making false pseudo-medical claims about them.
Paltrow also told “Entertainment Tonight” she strives “always to be neutral” on the topic of sex.
“I think my generation, we got a lot of messages around sex that made us feel bad about it,” the 49-year-old continued. “I try to just be curious, and teenagers are never going to want to talk to their parents about sex, ever. I sort of follow their lead and luckily, in middle school they had a very thorough sex education, so the school handled the kind of birds and the bees parts. Then I am there for any questions, but the questions are pretty minimal.”
Paltrow’s net worth has been calculated to $150 million; her offspring attended private schools with the kind of sex education that is not available to the vast majority of Americans, or around the world.
CERRITOS, Calif. — Sportsheets has announced the addition of a Rubber O-Rings four-pack to its Merge Collection line of dildos and dildo accessories.
A rep explained that the Merge Collection — formerly known as Nexus — is “boosting its accessories offerings with a new, colorful Rubber O-Rings four-pack. These firm-yet-stretchy, latex-free rings will come in a four-pack in 1.5″, 1.75″, 2″ and 2.25″ sizes, giving users choices to find their ideal size and tightness.”
The rings will be available in six colors: coral, periwinkle, turquoise, navy, emerald and plum. Users can mix-and-match sizes and colors to “stabilize the base of dildos, wear as a C-ring to enhance stamina, or simply wear them to brighten up strap-on play,” the rep added.
The Rubber O-Rings four-pack will be backed by Sportsheets’ Limited Lifetime Warranty.
“We’re very excited about Merge,” Sportsheets B2B Sales Manager Julia Harney said. “Having an integrated mix-and-match collection like this that includes dildos, cushions and O-rings, and in such unique colors, is perfect for our customers to maximize their upsell profits.”
Harney added that “beyond the combinations of Merge products that can be created within the collection, they’re also compatible and bundle well with Sportsheets strap-ons.”
Also coming to the Merge Collection are the Luma and Ove dildo and harness cushions, silicone sleeves designed to stretch over the base of dildos.
Retailers can also look forward to 10 new harness-compatible dildos made of 100% silicone.

LOS ANGELES — A simple question inquiring about the popularity of sexual fetishes led several Redditors to identify the website’s most popular fetish subgroups with “r/cuckold” topping the list at nearly 735,000 members.
The search kicked-off when user “u/Ste3e” posted, “What fetish is more popular than you thought?” to the Reddit group “r/AskReddit,” which currently counts nearly 34 million subscribers.
Another user, identified as “u/burn-babies-burn,” listed the main subreddits dealing with fetishes and documented them along their membership numbers.
The list includes the following results:
While this research is not peer-reviewed nor academically legitimized, it does gesture towards the growing and continued popularity of some fetishes.
Porn specifically designated as “cuck” only blew up in popularity a few years ago; the August 2019 XBIZ World cover story, titled “Too Taboo?” identified cuckolding as a burgeoning content category.

SEATTLE — Brian Sloan, inventor of the Autoblow, has produced a unique version of the A.I. male masturbation device that disguises a small home safe.
Dubbed the Autoblow Decoy Safe, the product is “especially effective against burglars when covered in lubricant and placed amongst a number of other pleasure tools, suggesting a hastily abandoned masturbation session,” a rep declared. “With YouTube now full of safe-cracking instructional videos that show burglars how to enter most popular models of home safes, they are an increasingly less secure place for valuables.”
“The Autoblow Decoy Safe, the world’s first sex toy safe, will provide homeowners with additional peace of mind when leaving home,” the rep added.
Sloan described how friends and family will often recoil when he shows off his inventions and ask if he’d already used them.
“That gave me the idea that burglars must also have the same natural aversion to handling used sex toys, which I realized could be used against them,” he explained. “Even the most debased burglar probably wouldn’t fiddle with a used Autoblow covered in lubricant. It truly is the safest place on earth to put your valuables.”
