An Atria rep described the book as “a steamy, no-holds-barred memoir chronicling everything from her days on the classic soap ‘The Bold and The Beautiful,’ to her stint on popular ABC/Disney sitcom ‘Boy Meets World,’ to her meteoric rise to porn stardom, and why she decided to kiss mainstream Hollywood goodbye.”
Atria Senior Editor Michelle Herrera Mulligan praised Ward’s “witty, incisive voice” and a story that “drew all of us in from the first page.”
“Her rare perspective on the sexism she experienced first-hand in Hollywood, and the liberation she’s found in women-produced adult entertainment, will inspire, shock and inform a generation eager to learn her story,” added Herrera Mulligan.
Worldwide English rights were acquired by Herrera Mulligan from Stephanie Kim at New Leaf Literary & Media.
Ward entered adult in 2019 and went on to earn six XBIZ Awards, including back-to-back lead acting wins for the Deeper.com erotic dramas “Drive” and “Muse,” as well as “Crossover Star of the Year” and an XBIZ Cam Awards win for “Best Premium Social Media Star” in 2020.

NEW YORK — CockyBoys is touting the release of “Puppy Play,” starring Edward Terrant and newly signed exclusive Leo Louis, and described as an experimental short directed by Raphael Massicotte.
The sensual studpups play roommates who enjoy a special friends-with-benefits relationship.
“They have a level of trust between them that allows them to delve into the realm of ‘puppy play’ successfully and gain the most pleasure from it,” noted a rep. “Being the voyeur in their fun allows viewers a chance to see how much pleasure they are enjoying and how they can take it to the next level without danger of hurting or being hurt.”
“We see that Edward is fully geared up as Leo’s pup against the backdrop of striking location and lighting. Edward whimpers and nuzzles his snout on Leo’s crotch and his devotion is finally rewarded with Leo playing with his ass and his ‘tail.’ Leo takes Edward to the next level by taking him from behind,” teased the rep. “Leo starts off slowly and then pounds him harder and faster in full doggy style. After easing up, Leo flips Edward on his back to drill him hard and he keeps this intense momentum when he takes him from behind again. Edward moans louder as he gets closer but Leo switches in up again by topping him on his back on top of a large upright tire.”
The studio has also released a BTS featurette with Terrant and an unmasked Louis.
“They talk about themselves, their roommates-with-benefits relationship, their gear, ‘puppy play,’ the artistic style of this porn scene, and more,” the rep said.
CockyBoys Owner Jake Jaxson expressed pride in the unique release.
“I believe it really, finally gets to the core of what makes ‘puppy play’ so interesting and unique,” he said. “This film is authentic, sexy, sensual and so very uniquely CockyBoys.”
“Ready to wag your tail?” he added.

NEW YORK — Pornhub announced today the launch of “Remastured,” a project that employs advanced AI technology to restore and colorize some of the oldest erotic films ever produced.
The “Remastured” campaign is a collaborative initiative with creative agency Officer & Gentleman and creative studio Espada Santacruz,
Pornhub, a rep explained, “used machine learning and over 100,000 adult videos and images from its library to colorize vintage porn for today’s modern audience.”
“Viewers are transported back in time to experience century-old erotic films featuring voluptuous Victorians and silent seducers in titillating technicolor with ‘The Remastured Film Library,’” added the rep.
Turn-of-the-Century Bush
“Since the moment someone figured out how to record moving images, people have been making adult movies,” the rep said. “We thought it was important to not only preserve but modernize these films, and we are very excited to include this selection of artfully restored vintage material to our library, allowing users to indulge in old-school erotica from a bygone era.”
The company noted that although it is common practice in film to colorize and restore even the most antique footage, the available algorithms “are lacking since standard deep-learning models are trained with millions of SFW images, not nude or even pornographic ones.”
By introducing the AI to Pornhub’s massive content library, the rep continued, “it learned a naughty new trick — how to detect the subtle shades of penises, nipples and turn-of-the-century bush.”
A Commitment to Smut’s History
“The Remastured Film Library” features a collection of 20 visually restored scenes ranging from the 1890s to the 1940s, featuring the work of film pioneers like Thomas Edison and George Méliès and elaborate plots of the modern porn aficionado’s favorite categories — ‘co-eds,’ ‘masseurs,’ ‘orgies,’ ‘threesomes,’ ‘foursomes,’ ‘spankings,’ ‘cosplay,’ ‘strap-ons’ and more.
The restoration process included preparation of images (noise reduction, sharpening and contrasting), colorizing using deep learning, boosting to 60 frames per second (FPS), re-scaling to crisp 4K resolution, digital remastering (cleaning artifacts, stabilization and flickering reduction) and remastering audio or adding a new audio track.
Pornhub’s history of supporting the preservation of early erotic films includes partnerships with the Museum of Sex in New York City, Maccarone fine art gallery in Los Angeles and the online premier of “Shakedown,” the critically-acclaimed documentary art film centered around the Black lesbian stripper scene in early oughts Los Angeles by filmmaker and vanguard artist Leilah Weinraub.

SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. — Apple’s COO Tim Cook will reportedly testify on Friday during the last phase of the civil lawsuit filed by video game manufacturer Epic Games against the tech giant over their mobile app store commissions.
Apple’s lawyers had previously accused Epic of enabling users to access “unspeakable” and “objectionable” sexual content through the gaming company’s app store.
While the lawsuit is primarily an anti-trust case designed to examine if Apple can require a 30% cut of all sales in its app store, and over their terms of service decisions, Apple’s lawyers changed the conversation to allege that Epic Games’ presence in the app store would enable people to access “sexualized” content.
Apple has consistently attempted to switch the attention of the public from the anti-trust nature of the original lawsuit in a salacious direction. Their attorneys even brought up during the trial the humanoid banana character Peely, featured in Epic’s blockbuster phenomenon “Fortnite.”
Enter ‘Peely’
According to tech news site The Verge, one of Apple’s attorneys used an image of Peely in a tuxedo when questioning Matthew Weissinger, Epic’s VP of Marketing, because “we thought it better to go with the suit than the naked banana, since we are in federal court this morning.”
Epic’s own attorney revisited the Peely issue later that day and asked Weissinger, “If we could just put on the screen a picture of Peely — is there anything inappropriate about Peely without clothes?”
To which Weissinger replied, “It’s just a banana, ma’am.”
A more serious problem for Epic could be its relationship to Itch.io. Founded in 2013 as a marketplace for indie games, Itch.io is open to more types of games than other platforms and as a result has become home to hundreds of sexually-oriented video games. As of May 2021, there are over 400 games in Itch.io’s marketplace that are tagged as “porn.”
‘Unspeakable’ Games
As a third-party app, Itch.io and its offerings are not reviewed by Epic and Apple has used this as an opportunity to connect Epic’s core business to Itch.io’s “unspeakable” games, including games with sensational names like “Sisterly Lust.”
“The description of that game includes a list of fetishes which include many words that are not appropriate for us to speak in federal courts,” noted one of Apple’s lawyers during the trial.
Apple’s legal tactic appears to be an attempt to pressure U.S. District Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers to decide whether to force a private business into selling material they consider objectionable, diverting attention from the anti-trust allegations against them.
Cook, the Associated Press reported today, “will be taking the stand as Apple prepares to wrap its case before the two sides make their closing arguments and answer Judge Rogers’ questions about the evidence on Monday.”
