LOS ANGELES — Alpha Studio Group has released the third and final installment of its latest feature, “Changes,” from studio brand Next Door Films, on its streaming platform ASGMax.

Directed by Jeremy Babcock, the scene, titled “Moving In,” stars studio exclusive Jayden Marcos along with Derek Kage.

“Derek was a blast to work with,” enthused Marcos. “His energy, his acting and his voice just kind of melts you lol! Before it even came out I knew it was going to be one of my all-time favorites.”

Added Babcock, “Our big finale for Changes really completes Jayden’s journey. Jayden spent two episodes having the world change around him, and he finally gets his happy ending in this sweet bro-mance that brings his straight bro story (started in ‘Just Curious’) full circle. The whole crew was amazing on this one and there’s a lot of heart that went into this film.”

VANCOUVER, British Columbia — JuicyAds has launched its new Adsistant AutoBid tool, which allows advertisers to move an advertiser’s bid up and down to maintain a specific bid position. 

“With the Adsistant AutoBid tool, advertisers now can become fierce competitors, without lifting a finger,” a rep said. “It is most beneficial for CPC campaign advertisers who have a variety of banner images in their campaigns.”

Unlike CPM bidding, which is a direct fixed bid and placement, CPC campaigns on the platform optimize placement with an algorithm that takes both the advertiser’s bid and banner click-through ratio (CTR) into consideration. As an effect, lower clicking banners require higher bids to get the same rotation of high CTR banners.

Included in the update is a Leaderboard “competitive view” showing top campaigns and their bids and effective rank based on the network’s algorithm.

To activate the feature, advertisers just need to select a target position, and a maximum bid. The campaign’s bid will move up and down based on the target position, limited by the maximum bid.

Advertisers not wanting to use the AutoBid feature still have the option to receive bidding information that can be used for placing manual bids. Full details of an advertiser’s current position are provided, including their bid rank and position based on the algorithm.

The interface includes a “Cheat Sheet” showing bids specifically recommended for an advertiser’s campaign based on the campaign’s current performance.

“The new bidding dashboard is a dramatic improvement and expansion from the basic recommended bids information previously available,” the rep added. “This newest tool works similarly to the platform’s Rule Builder and SimpleCPA functionality, automated tools that are set once and then the Adsistant constantly monitors and optimizes advertiser campaigns.”

CEO and founder Juicy Jay said, “Advertisers perform better when they have good data and actionable information. This feature not only makes bidding and positioning a campaign effortless, it also gives advertisers a level of transparency that is rare amongst advertising networks.”

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. — Dimonica Rose is the Cover Honey for the October issue of Hustler magazine, with a 12-page centerfold spread shot by Ellen Stagg.

“Dimonica Rose headlines this spooktacular Halloween special,” said Editorial Director Anne Denbok. “Her glamorous style is reminiscent of pinups of yesteryear, and yet her attitude is decidedly modern. She’s a rebel in her own right. Fans asked us to bring Dimonica back, and we were only too happy to oblige — this time as our stunning centerfold and Cover Honey.”

The issue also includes features on Andrea M., Vinna Reed, Olivia Jay and Slimthick Vic.

In her publisher’s statement, Liz Flynt discussed the need for ethics oversight for the Supreme Court.

“The Court needs legitimacy in order for Americans to trust its decisions and the rulings that can radically alter lives,” she writes. “It is high time for some oversight. If not, who will watch the watchmen?”

The October issue of Hustler is available on newsstands and online.

BOZEMAN, Mont. — Sexual wellness brand FirmTech has introduced the MaxPR, a slimmer, snugger version of its signature Performance Ring.

“The MaxPR will keep men harder longer, and stimulate extremely strong orgasms,” said a rep. “The Max Performance Ring features flexible medical grade elastomer and FirmTech’s patented double ring hook and loop closure.”

FirmTech’s founder, Elliot Justin, M.D., enthused about the new iteration.

“We received feedback from satisfied Performance Ring customers that sometimes, they’d like a C-ring with a tighter fit that doesn’t pinch the penis like the silicone rings made from harder material, and that can be worn for more than 20 minutes without strangling the penis,” he said. “So we notched up the elastomer a bit for a firmer grip while avoiding choking off the blood flow into the penis. This design holds the maximum amount of blood in the penis for a very hard erection and intense pleasure.”

WASHINGTON, D.C. — A new report published last week by the Chamber of Progress, a U.S. trade group representing many of the leading technology companies, issued an urgent warning against the “rising red tide” of digital censorship promoted by conservatives.

Titled “The Rising Red Tide of Digital Censorship,” the report chronicles “how a conservative wave of content bans is moving from schools to online.”

The report concludes that “children and teens’ access to information is under assault by right-wing lawmakers across the country; the movement to censor what students see in schools has moved online; the same elected officials, the same advocacy groups, and the same legislatures pushing curriculum censorship agendas are leading the movement to limit teens’ access to information on the Internet; and for a generation of young people growing up in states with book bans and digital censorship, the combined effects of conservative censorship regimes could prove disastrous.”

The report details how curriculum censorship laws and local book bans are proliferating in America, how specific states like Texas, Utah, Arkansas and Louisiana are fertile breeding grounds for censorship campaigns,  and how the major players in the curriculum censorship movement are also pushing for digital censorship legislation.

Lawmakers in conservative states, the report establishes, “are seeking to prevent children from accessing information and communities online that conflict with right-wing ideology, creating a ‘red-state curtain’ that compounds censorship in states where children’s exposure to LGBTQ+ and racial inclusion content is already limited.”

News site Axios explained that the report highlights how “the crackdown on books aligns with a wider push by Republicans to limit conversations on hot-button issues like race, sexuality and the history of slavery in America.”

“In red states, when there are book bans, online censorship or parental approval laws aren’t far behind,” Axios concluded.

LOS ANGELES — Sheena Shaw and John Stagliano co-direct Evil Angel’s “Gooner School,” starring Shaw and Tommy King.

The title also features Gia Derza, Sophia Burns and Aiden Starr.

“Through the movie, dirty-talking Sheena and her comely costars taunt shamelessly porn-addicted ‘Gooners’ — including the cameraman and viewers — about the dirty fun they can only watch, but never touch,” said a rep. 

Shaw enthused about the project.

“‘Gooner School’ was created in dedication to anyone with an appreciation for the inconsummate ass tease,” she said. “That’s all you’re getting — an anal-centric, ass-obsessed tease, and if that’s not something you’ve a very dedicated interest in, I might raise an eyebrow at your decision to watch this movie because by watching this, you’re about to fall down a deep, dark, very specific crevice.”

“Gooner School” is available on VOD and DVD from EvilAngelVideo; four of the scenes are streaming on EvilAngel, with two more dropping this week.
