Thai Authorities Charge Soap Opera Actress With Operating Porn Site

BANGKOK — Thai police have reported seizing around $20 million in assets from a couple accused of running an adult website, among other online businesses.

Earlier this month, police arrested Thai soap opera actress Yam Thamolphan, her husband Phumphat Prasertwit and an associate on charges of “colluding in disseminating pornographic material, organizing online gambling, conspiring to commit money laundering and colluding in laundering money.”

The Bangkok Post reported that the Criminal Court had denied bail to Thamolphan and her husband, who was described as “a wealthy computer programmer.” According to the same news sources, the couple was alleged to be operating “a major gambling website and a pornographic site.”

Police told the Post that they “spent more than two years investigating the gambling network www.ufa24h.net and the pornographic website hd.star4k.com, and following their respective money trails, which were both linked to Mr Phumphat and his wife.” Both sites are currently offline.

Lt. Gen. Jirabhop Bhuridej, the commissioner of the Central Investigation Bureau, told Thai press that the online gambling operation had “more than 40,000 customers with at least 7 million baht (approximately $200,000) worth of transactions moving through its bank accounts every month.”

Police sources have not provided details concerning the pornography charges against the three suspects, or about the now-shuttered site hd.star4k.com.

Tax records for the couple allegedly failed to account for the four houses, 12 luxury cars, 42 million baht (approximately $1.2 million) in cash and many other luxury items found at their homes.

Making, producing, possessing, importing, exporting, or distributing pornography for commercial purposes, for distribution or for public display is a criminal offense in Thailand, punishable by up to three years in prison and a 60,000 baht (approximately $1,700) fine.

A different statute, the Computer Crimes Act, also bans “bringing pornography into a computer system,” and contravention can result in a five-year prison sentence and/or a 100,000 baht (approximately $2,800) fine.

As XBIZ reported, as more Thais have opened OnlyFans accounts to support themselves during the pandemic, legal experts in the Southeast Asian kingdom have recently warned about the uncertain status of the content produced, given the country’s notoriously harsh obscenity laws.

Scarlett Alexis Stars in 'Kitchen Crush' From POV Adventure

LOS ANGELES — Scarlett Alexis stars with Ramon Nomar in the latest release from POV Adventure, “Kitchen Crush,” directed by Sal Genoa.

“Ramon Nomar sometimes cooks professionally for Mrs. Alexis so he thinks nothing unusual of a request to cook for her at her home,” said a rep. “Her cooking utensils are subpar, however, and Scarlett Alexis, the beautiful young daughter, offers to let Nomar use hers. After waiting for her to come back with the utensils Nomar goes to look for Scarlett and finds her laying on a bed in lingerie. Scarlett confesses to sending the email to hire Ramon herself and is willing to pay for the meal and Nomar’s flight back to Spain, if he just spends some time with her.”

Kira Noir Discusses Consent With Nylon Magazine

Kira Noir Discusses Consent With Nylon Magazine

NEW YORK — The current issue of Nylon Magazine features an interview with Kira Noir, discussing consent practices on adult industry sets and in civilian life. 

“I would say that if you are too uncomfortable to talk about sex, maybe you shouldn’t be having sex,” Noir told Nylon interviewer Sophia June. “It doesn’t mean you should never have sex, but having these kinds of conversations is a prerequisite to good sex.”

Noir told Nylon that she has observed “a palpable shift across the industry towards ensuring consent” since she started in porn.

The article praised adult companies for enacting policies “to make porn shoots more consensual, which included things like consent checklists and exit interviews,” as well as PornHub’s Consent Event video series, which features segments by Noir, actor and influencer Chloë Sevigny, author Liara Roux and others.

“If you just look at it on the surface, consent is absolutely necessary to any sort of good sex act,” Noir told Nylon. “This is what we mean, we say, ‘consent is sexy’ because if you are enthusiastically consenting to everything that’s happening to you, and if your partner is enthusiastically consenting to everything that you’re doing to them, then everyone gets to have a great time.”

Speaking about the differences between on-set and civilian sex consent practices, Noir explained that the latter do not have to be “super formal” as is the norm on porn sets, and encouraged people to “talk a lot about what they like and to not take criticism personally.”

“If somebody tells you, ‘I don’t really like what you just did there,'” she told Nylon, “go ahead and accept that and be happy that they felt comfortable enough to share that with you. Because again, you don’t want to be doing something that somebody doesn’t like. Instead of taking it personally and thinking you’re so bad at sex, think to yourself, ‘Thank God they told me now before I kept doing it.'”

MyPerfectHarem Spotlighted in ePlay’s KeyClub Q&A Series

MyPerfectHarem Spotlighted in ePlay's KeyClub Q&A Series

SAN DIEGO — Content creators MyPerfectHarem, aka Chrissy LeBlanc and Sir, are the latest performers spotlighted in ePlay’s monthly KeyClub Q&A series.

In the interview, the ePlay KeyClub members discuss what led them to ePlay, why they create content full-time, and what kinds of content their fans can look forward to in the new year.

“When we were dating, the sex was hot, but the porn we found was pretty bad. It was the fake orgasms, overly acted scenes and silly scenarios that would make us laugh,” the couple said. “Then after we would have sex, all out of breath and holding each other, we would say, ‘That was hot. We should have filmed that.’ Once the inspiration for the harem lifestyle hit us, we decided that the world would be a better place if we not only lived out our fantasies but shared that passion with the world. We quit our jobs and haven’t looked back.”

The full interview can be found here; follow MyPerfectHarem on ePlay and Twitter.

Pineapple Support, Adult Time to Premiere Performer Mental Health PSA

LOS ANGELES — Pineapple Support and Adult Time have collaborated on a short film highlighting the hidden emotional pressures that adult performers face, the trailer for which will screen at the upcoming XBIZ Awards.
