LOS ANGELES — Andi Anderson and Fitwife Jewels star alongside Juan Loco in the latest scene from Filthy Kings, titled “Wild Threesome With Stepmom and Realtor.”

“Realtor Fitwife Jewels looks to help stepson Juan Loco settle in the best way a MILF realtor knows how with a sloppy blow job,” a synopsis reveals. “With his massive Latin cock in her mouth, Jewels is busted by stepmom Andi Anderson, and Jewels then instigates a threesome delight that is fitting for the halls of Filthy Kings.”

Anderson enthused about the shoot.

“This scene is very special to me,” she said. “Getting to work with Fitwife Jewels is always a treat. You do not often get to include your best friends in something this big. To watch her succeed as well, to the point where we are both sharing a stage and a cock with Filthy Kings, is so surreal. Juan Loco is one of the most talented young men in this industry. It is one thing to have this amazing, massive cock that he does. But to brandish it the way he does, with his ability to act, perform, and play the part, made for one of the sexiest, nastiest productions I have ever been a part of.”

The scene is streaming on FilthyKings.

LOS ANGELES — Adult industry market research firm SWR Data has published a report on the Top Creator Platforms of 2024.

The report, titled “Money and Platforms,” seeks to “provide some insight for creators into how the industry may be moving, and which platforms appear to be attracting the most creators,” said SWR Data co-founder MelRose Michaels.

As part of the survey, creators were asked to identify which fan platforms they regularly use to monetize content. SWR then compiled the list of the most frequently cited platforms, along with the percentage of creators saying they used them.

“Of the Top 10 platforms, Fansly, LoyalFans and Clips4Sale all showed significant growth since 2022,” the report revealed. “LoyalFans showed particularly rapid growth, jumping from just 13% of creators in 2022 to 35% of creators this year — nearly triple.”

SWR also asked cam models to identify the platforms they most frequently use to earn revenue.

The top five platforms — and their respective percentages according to polling — were Chaturbate (42.9%), Streamate (33.2%), MyFreeCams (13%), Stripchat (12.5%) and CamSoda (7.6%).

“Top platforms can vary depending on who you are, where you’re based and what sector you’re working in,” said Michaels.

A summary of the report is available here.

In the second section, Athena and Porno Dan visit the Budapest Christmas market, where she dislikes everything but the famous Hungarian Mangalica meat of Matt Bird, whom she begs to cum inside her. In the final segment, Porno Dan and Matt double creampie Athena, and a river of sperm runs down her legs.”

Bird enthused about the scene.

“Athena Fleurs was so into the holiday spirit that it was one of our easiest shoots,” he said. “We had a festive time walking around the Christmas market, and the sex with her was so good that both Porno Dan and I came twice. It was truly a joyous day.”

LOS ANGELES — The upstart sexual wellness brand Arya has raised $8.5 million from investors, which the company will use to grow its user base.

The cash infusion, which brings Arya’s total funding to $16 million, was led by Ibex Investors, with participation from Play Ventures, Patron, and Big Bets VC.

With enough resources to last two years as it scales up, Arya now expects to be cash-flow positive by 2026. Arya CEO Offer Yehudai told Axios that the company is planning to expand into Canada, among other areas.

Arya bills itself as a personal intimacy coach for couples who want to improve their connection with the help of personalized AI and human sexual wellness experts. 

The company currently charges customers $39 for a monthly subscription, with 80% of its customers being millennial women and moms.

Arya expects to reach 500,000 paying members in the U.S. in the next three to five years, having grown its member base — now said to be in the tens of thousands — by 10 times since September 2023.

This coming year will be a time of growth for Arya as the company continues to partner with doctors and brands that wish to reach its growing audience, which prizes sexual wellness — a global market that is expected to swell from $83.6 billion in 2023 to $115.1 billion by 2030.

Axios notes that while Arya didn’t raise quite as much as Hello Cake did this past October when it raised $18 million, it raised more than Pique did last May when it raised $4 million, and the health of the company has never been better, especially given the ripe market conditions in the space.
