When “Deadly Vows,” the latest feature from director Ricky Greenwood, premiered on Digital Playground, it delivered more than high-gloss eroticism. The series unveiled a full-throttle action spectacle with sword fights, betrayals, and a main character who combines Jackie Chan’s martial artistry with a thirst for vengeance worthy of the Bride, Uma Thurman’s memorable assassin character in “Kill Bill.”

LOS ANGELES — Pineapple Support and Pornhub are hosting a free online support group for performers with ADHD.
The six-week “ADHD-Friendly: 30 Days to Befriend Your Inner Critic” will be led by Pineapple Support therapist Dr. Jena Field and begins Oct. 6 at 1 p.m. (EDT). Sessions will last approximately ninety minutes and will take place Mondays through Nov. 10.
“Many of us see our inner critic as an enemy to be silenced, but that only reinforces shame and self-doubt,” said Field. “This group will reframe the inner critic as a misunderstood ally. Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Internal Family Systems (IFS), we’ll explore ways to challenge negative self-beliefs, build an inner support system, and access calm and strength when it’s needed most.”
Pineapple Support founder Leya Tanit added, “Performers with ADHD face unique challenges, especially around self-criticism and managing emotions. This group offers a supportive, research-backed space to transform those challenges into opportunities for self-compassion and growth. I’m grateful to Dr. Field for providing this vital support to our community.”

LAS VEGAS — zBUCKz and PeterFever have debuted the new parody series, “Midnight Boner.”
Directed by Guy Criss, the eight-episode series stars Hiroya, Daniel Zhang, Novo, Koki, Zen, Ramu, Haru, Reach, Reitaro, Yuki, Yoshi Kawasaki, Kenji, and Taki.
“The story revolves around a secret, yakuza-run diner in Tokyo that opens after midnight,” said a rep. “Welcome to ‘Midnight Boner,’ a stylized parody of ‘Midnight Diner’ where each late-night customer brings a new erotic story to the table. Behind the noodle counter stands Chef Daddy (Hiroya), a stoic ex-yakuza with a mysterious past and a talent for satisfying more than just hunger.”
zBUCKz CEO Danny Zeeman enthused about the series.
“Some people say food and porn don’t mix,” he said. “‘Midnight Boner’ is proof that ramen and romance, udon and underwear, can simmer in the same pot. And believe me, the men in ‘Midnight Boner’ are served piping hot.”
Added Criss, “After Danny Z turned me onto it, I became a huge fan of ‘Midnight Diner.’ When the opportunity arose to do a take-off of the show, I was more than ready to go. Shooting on location in Japan was unparalleled, and each model added his own personal touch. Collaborative, flexible experiences make working for PeterFever something I always look forward to, and this is among the best series we’ve created.”
The series is streaming on PeterFever.

LOS ANGELES — A United States district judge on Friday dismissed some but not all claims against Aylo in a long-running case involving CSAM allegations featured in the influential 2020 New York Times article “The Children of Pornhub.”
The original complaint in the case, filed in 2021 and later amended, contended that MindGeek — then Pornhub’s parent company — knowingly allowed and profited from CSAM on its sites.
Plaintiff Serena Fleites, who is now an adult but was underage in 2014 when her then-boyfriend uploaded a sexually explicit video of her to Pornhub without her consent, was profiled in journalist Nicholas Kristof’s controversial 2020 exposé of deficient content moderation practices. Anti-pornography groups seized upon the piece, citing it as evidence for their allegations linking the online adult industry with sex trafficking and CSAM.
On Friday, Judge Wesley Hsu of the United States District Court for the Central District of California issued a ruling in which he granted MindGeek’s motion to dismiss the following complaints:
The court denied, however, MindGeek’s motions to dismiss several other complaints, including counts of negligence and of receipt, transport and distribution of CSAM.
The court also found that while MindGeek is not “directly liable” for causing the then-underage plaintiff to engage in a commercial sex act, the company is subject to “beneficiary liability” since it is alleged to have monetized postings of CSAM and other nonconsensual content, and thus “knowingly received benefits from the trafficking venture.”
The plaintiff’s attorneys can be expected to file a new amended complaint in the coming weeks, focusing on the counts that the judge did not dismiss.
In 2023, MindGeek was acquired by Ethical Capital Partners, which renamed it Aylo and embarked on a campaign of transparency. Since then, Aylo has been dealing with multiple legal actions originally taken against MindGeek.
On Sept. 3, for instance, Aylo settled a complaint by the Federal Trade Commission and the state of Utah, which alleged that MindGeek “participated in deceptive and unfair acts or practices” by misrepresenting the extent to which it guarded against the posting of CSAM and nonconsensual material on its sites.
