Chaturbate COO Shirley Lara said the company is pleased to join Pineapple Support in sponsoring the event.

“The health and wellness of the Chaturbate community is a top priority and we encourage everyone to attend this event for guidance on how to create and foster a healthy relationship,” she added.

The group, founded in 2018 by Leya Tanit, has so far connected over 5,000 adult performers and industry members to mental health services, including free and low-cost therapy, counseling and emotional support.

“No matter which industry you work in or what you do, finding and maintaining relationships, particularly romantic ones, can be a challenge,” Tanit said. “Add the complications and unique stressors of working in the adult industry and the prospect can sometimes feel out of reach. These webinars will help adult workers navigate and thrive in their personal lives.”

LOS ANGELES — Popular cinephile social network Letterboxd has released the curated selection of adult films added to their database for the first time this week.

As XBIZ reported, Letterboxd — a successful app that helps film lovers keep tracking of their viewings, collections and ratings — bases their comprehensive film database on TMDb, but until now had not included the overwhelming majority of adult titles.

The news of Letterboxd’s new approach was announced last week via Twitter by Justin LaLiberty, director of operations at OCN Distribution and one of the cult cinephiles behind leading reissue imprint Vinegar Syndrome.

LaLiberty helped curate the selection.

The list of adult titles appears as a collection of pixilated posters, which become visible after login in and enabling adult content by clicking on “Include in content from friends and search; show adult posters” in the settings.

The official announcement by Gemma Gracewood, editor-in-chief at Letterboxd, explained that “the curated titles—with more still to come—include historically, culturally, controversially and artistically significant adult films, in genres including sexploitation, kink, all-male, cult, fetish, porn parodies, hardcore classics and more.”

LOS ANGELES — Spin magazine profiled Small Hands today, and praised his current EP “Age of Regret,” released under his music alter ego Empty Streets.

The XBIZ award-winning performer, also know as Aaron Thompson, was interviewed by Spin’s Jason Pettigrew, who hailed his creating “dramatic electronic dream pop as a conduit for his checkered emotional state.”

“Empty Streets is a three-pronged thing,” Small Hands told Spin. “First of all, I’ve always loved bands like Depeche Mode and Sisters Of Mercy. Those bands are always on my playlists, even though I have a Clash tattoo. Then when my adult film career really started taking off, I didn’t have time to jam with guys or get in a room with people to practice three times a week. And I had been scoring for adult films and was already getting entrenched into the tones and playing synths and stuff. So I was like, ‘OK, I like this kind of music. I’m alone and I’ve got the gear.’ It seemed like a no-brainer to me.”

Religion and Betrayal

The noted adult performer also spoke about his traumatizing religious background in the Baptist church, and about his relationship with wife and business partner Joanna Angel.

“I think the ultimate definition of betrayal is having an agreement between two people and then having it be broken,” Small Hands said in the interview. “Betrayal can be sexual, but it doesn’t have to be. So to me and my wife—to relate it to porn—it’s not how we define betrayal. There’s no shadiness when she goes to work. I know that. I know what’s happening when I go to work. She knows. We talk about work when we get home. I don’t become directly aroused by the thought of my wife having sex with other people.”

Small Hands explained he is “very aroused and excited at the thought of my wife experiencing every adventure, every high. I want her to have it all because I love her. So I’m happy if she goes out and gets gang-banged and has a fucking blast because I’m like, ‘Hell yeah, get it,’ you know? And I don’t feel disrespected at all because she’s coming home to me. She loves me and I feel very secure in our love. And that means when I go out and I do the same thing, it works both ways. We get this very cool, reciprocal circle that we just keep feeding each other’s needs and quest for adventure while remaining respectful to our home base at the same time.”

“None of my songs are really about sex or sexual betrayal,” he added. “When I write about betrayal, I’m writing about how for my whole young life, I followed the teachings of Christ and my father and the church to the T. I was such a good kid. I got straight A’s. I didn’t drink. I didn’t do drugs. I was the model child. And the result I got is garbage. Speaking to God or my father, how dare you promise me everything if I do all these things that, ‘this is the way it goes and you’ll be happy’?”

PHOENIX — Entrenue has announced they are now shipping the Snail Vibe, a pleasure product described as “boasting the vibrating power of a wand massager, the insertion depth of a dil, and the dual stimulation of a rabbit vibrator.”

“The Snail Vibe’s unique stimulation is based on scientific research and harnesses the power of the Bridge Technique developed by Dr. Helen Kaplan, to create new neural connections between erogenous zones,” said a rep. “The Snail Vibe’s distinctive design ensures that external and internal stimulation are connected by the ‘Bridge’ through which the clitoral orgasm becomes a vaginal orgasm, or vice versa.”

“The Snail Vibe’s unique shape and movement allows users to modify and adjust how it stimulates two erogenous zones directly during use,” the rep continued.

Via patented technology, its two motors provide continuous stimulation while the user-controlled insertable portion provides sliding movements that mimic intercourse.

Each Snail Vibe features two motors, four buttons, five speeds and five modes for more than 600 combinations.

“We have never seen anything like the Snail Vibe and it truly is one of a kind,” Entrenue Senior Sales and Buyer Kim Maty said. “This isn’t just a clever toy, there is real scientific research backing it up. The design is both innovative and eye-catching, and the two individually controlled motors provide an intensely strong and astonishingly quiet vibration.”

Maty added that users “will also appreciate being in control of the insertable end which, like a dil, they can insert manually to control depth and speed of penetration while the flexible rounded portion unfurls against the clitoris.”

“Needless to say, we think the Snail Vibe is going to make a big impression,” Maty concluded.

LOS ANGELES — A grand jury is currently meeting in a Los Angeles courthouse to consider accusations of multiple counts of sexual assault against Ron Jeremy, according to sources familiar with the proceedings.

The grand jury has been convened in secrecy, with the prosecution presenting testimony from some of the people cited in the indictments, which may include both victims and witnesses.

The last public hearing in the case was supposed to have occurred on August 4, a date which Jeremy’s attorney, Stuart Goldfarb, and District Attorney Paul Thompson had agreed in March for the beginning of the preliminary hearing

On August 4, the preliminary hearing was postponed at the request of the defense until October 25.

“The purpose of a grand jury being reconvened would typically mean that new evidence has surfaced that the state wishes to present for the purpose of either adding additional charges, potentially additional victims or potentially raising some of the charges,” industry attorney Corey Silverstein explained to XBIZ.

The charges against Jeremy add up to: 11 counts of forcible rape, eight counts of sexual battery by restraint, six counts of forcible oral copulation, five counts of forcible penetration by a foreign object and one count each of sodomy, assault with intent to commit rape, assault with intent to commit forcible digital penetration, penetration by a foreign object on an unconscious or sleeping victim and lewd conduct with a 15-year old girl.

The incidents now involve 23 victims.

Jeremy has pleaded “not guilty” to all of the charges.

This is developing news, which XBIZ will continue reporting as more information becomes available.
