LOS ANGELES — Juniper Ren has made her Hookup Hotshot (HUHS) debut alongside studio honcho Bryan Gozzling.

The scene opens with Ren “showing up on set for her debut with bows in her hair, an aqua collar with a pink leash and stacked pink heels,” the synopsis reveals. “Bryan Gozzling is immediately enamored with Juniper; he shows off her butthole, licks it and continues her inspection. After laying Juniper down on the infamous white couch and licking her sweet pink pussy, she drops to her knees to give Bryan a BJ.”

Gozzling enthused about his co-star.

“Juniper is a cute new fuck doll, and the members love her,” he said. “It’s pretty amazing how she stays so fresh-looking during the entire scene. Juniper is a great way to end November with a bang, and we’ll definitely have to have her back to break that ass in.”

The scene is streaming on HookupHotshot.

LOS ANGELES — Pleasure brand Sleev has introduced its new disposable stroker.

The company’s flagship product, Sleev, is made of soft, pre-lubricated TPE that’s textured on the inside and comes in a pouch.

“I came up with the idea for Sleev after trying a few of the conventional strokers and quickly growing tired of having to wash and dry them every time,” said Sleev Founder and CEO Jeff Domenighini. “Plus, I had to travel a lot for work, and bringing a big bulky pocket pussy and a bottle of lube with me was less than ideal.

“I knew I could make a product that felt amazing, but was also convenient and discreet,” Domenighini added. “After a few years of product development and fine-tuning, I believe we have turned that idea into reality — and I would know firsthand, since I am also the lead product tester.”

Sleev comes with three to 15 sleeves per pack.

MADRID — Paysite CumLouder has implemented Spain’s first law-compliant age verification system using digital identity wallets developed by the cybersecurity and digital identity company Gataca.

“Gataca’s solution is currently the only one approved by the Spanish Data Protection Agency (AEPD) to start processing data for age verification,” said a rep. “The identity wallets allow users to verify their age securely without the need to share personal data with the website — not even their date of birth. This guarantees both the protection of minors and the anonymity of users.

“To obtain the +18/21 credential, users must prove their age of majority only once through the Gataca wallet in a process completely independent of the adult content platform they wish to access,” the rep added. “Once obtained, the credential can be reused for future access and on different websites. The initial process includes a scan of the identity document and a selfie, a unique procedure that takes less than a minute to complete.

The system is designed to serve a range of sectors.

“Two credentials are issued: one certifying the age of majority and another corresponding to the Verified Identity Document,” said the rep. “The latter simplifies future digital verifications in contexts other than the adult sector. With Gataca’s digital wallet, users can store and manage a wide variety of credentials, such as driver’s licenses, academic diplomas, health cards, or work credentials, facilitating their use and sharing in a secure and efficient manner.

“This approach is aligned with the European eIDAS regulation, which has been in force since May 2024, obliging Member States to offer a European Digital Identity Wallet within the next 24 months,” the rep added. “Key sectors, both public and private (transport, energy, banking, healthcare, education, among others), will have to accept them as a method of authentication, soon becoming part of everyday life.”

SAN FRANCISCO — Falcon/NakedSword has released “Beat the Heat” on digital download and DVD.

Directed by Tony Dimarco, the title stars JC Hunt, Johnny Donovan, Trevor Brooks, Kyle Michaels, Evan Knoxx, Eddie Patrick, Alfonso Osnaya, Kai Taylor and Seth Peterson.

“After escaping the heat in his backyard pool, JC Hunt teams up with ripped hunk Johnny Donovan for some bareback afternoon delight,” said a rep. “Kyle Michaels takes a cold shower but is interrupted when Trevor Brooks decides he’s in the mood for a flip-fuck in his bedroom.

“Evan Knoxx then uses ice cubes to cool off Eddie Patrick’s throbbing cock,” the rep added. “Next, Alfonso Osnaya’s ice pop is going ass-to-mouth as he sucks down the frozen confection and uses it as a frosty makeshift dildo to fuck Kai Taylor. Finally, Johnny Donovan trades in his workout for the opportunity to ram Seth Peterson with his eager, uncut cock.

“Beat the Heat” is available from the Falcon/NakedSword store.
