LOS ANGELES — Nubiles has selected Lana Smalls as its Fantasy of the Month for October, spotlighting her in a scene with Parker Ambrose.
As the scene opens, Smalls and Ambrose “return home after an evening with the Ton,” the synopsis reveals. “Parker runs his hands all over Lana’s petite frame before he lifts Lana into his arms, moving to the bed. Parting her thighs, he doesn’t stop until she’s whimpering and biting her lip in pleasure. They come together when Parker helps Lana onto her knees and takes her from behind. She then straddles his hips, transitions into reverse cowgirl and, finally, Parker takes over and Lana encourages him to cum inside.”
The scene is streaming on NubilesFilms.

DENVER — The United States Court of Appeals for the 10th Circuit on Tuesday affirmed a district court’s motion to dismiss Free Speech Coalition v. Anderson, the industry trade association’s challenge to Utah’s age verification law.
In a statement, FSC noted that the court’s decision to reject its appeal was not a ruling on whether the state’s age verification mandate is constitutional. Rather, two of the court’s three justices rejected FSC’s attempt to bring suit against Utah’s attorney general and commissioner of public safety as public officials who, FSC argued, are closely tied to implementation and enforcement of the law. The two-to-one majority ruled that those officials are not responsible for enforcement of the law, and therefore cannot be sued by FSC.
As XBIZ reported, FSC filed its appeal last year, after a Utah judge granted the state’s motion to dismiss the organization’s challenge to SB 287, Utah’s age verification law, which went into effect in January 2023. At the time, FSC noted that the law “requires sites to verify identity through a non-existent state digital ID, or to partner with data brokers to otherwise verify age and identity of all visitors,” cited serious privacy concerns about the legislation and contended that it is unconstitutional.
FSC opted to combat the law via a pre-enforcement challenge because while SB 287 creates civil liability for adult content platforms, it does not empower state officials to proactively file suit against sites alleged to have violated the law. Instead, it outsources such actions to private citizens in Utah. Therefore, the law’s constitutionality cannot be directly challenged in court until private citizens take legal action against sites.
Industry Reactions
When FSC announced its decision to appeal, in August 2023, FSC Executive Director Alison Boden called this tactic “an end-run around the First Amendment.”
In Tuesday’s FSC statement, Boden said, “These laws were designed to be difficult to challenge and designed to have a chilling effect on our First Amendment rights. We will continue the fight to hold the state accountable for the laws it has passed.”
The chilling effect Boden warned about became evident months before the 2023 district court ruling against FSC, when Pornhub decided to block its site in Utah.
Since then, SB 287 has served as a model for similar legislation in other states, as lawmakers seek ways to shut down adult content online while skirting constitutional challenges. If the 10th Circuit’s decision becomes precedent, that could severely hamper the ability of FSC and other free speech groups to oppose such laws.
Industry attorney Lawrence Walters from Walters Law Group told XBIZ that the 10th Circuit decision is “disappointing but not unexpected.”
“The Eleventh Amendment generally provides immunity to the states from being sued without their permission,” Walters explained. “This type of ‘sovereign immunity’ is subject to an important exception carved out by the U.S. Supreme Court in Ex parte Young, which allows plaintiffs to sue state officials who are responsible for enforcing unconstitutional laws.
“However, lawmakers in Utah cynically sought to frustrate judicial review of the constitutionality of its age verification law by allowing enforcement only by private parties and not state officials such as the attorney general,” Walters added. “In this way, the state politicians hoped to create a threat of enforcement while avoiding the consequences of enacting an unconstitutional law.
“Fortunately, the U.S. Supreme Court is considering a challenge to the Texas age verification law,” Walters noted. “This will likely determine whether any of these recent spate of state AV laws are consistent with the First, Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments.”
LOS ANGELES — Vanilla Gaming Company has launched a Kickstarter campaign to fund adult retro game “Mystery Kink,” featuring Blake Blossom and other performers lending their likenesses and voice talent.
“Mystery Kink” has been available for wish-listing on the Steam gaming platform since January. As XBIZ reported at that time, it is a classic “hidden object” puzzle game for adults, with graphics reminiscent of 1970s and 1980s whodunnit cartoons like “Scooby Doo.”
Alongside Blossom, the game also features the likenesses and voices of Jewel De’Nyle, Kiki D’Aire and Nickey Huntsman.
“Players will encounter a sexy and hilarious story in this throwback comedy-horror adventure game, spanning several iconic parody levels including Camp Crystal Fake, BoDangles Chicken & Hoetel, and Strips Ahoy! Gentlemen’s Club,” the synopsis reveals. “Can they solve the mystery of the Legendary Phallus Stones? Players can control Vanilla, Blake, Jewel, Kiki and Nickey as they traverse over 10 hand-drawn levels in this funny and spooky comedy-horror adventure anyone mature enough can play.”
Blossom told XBIZ in January, “I am so honored to be chosen as a guest on ‘Mystery Kink.’ It has been one of my lifelong dreams to be a video game character, and now I am. I personally am a big fan of Scooby Doo and search-and-find games, so I’m looking forward to playing the game.”
Blossom credited Vanilla founder and creative director Neil Herrin as being “one of the first people to give adult film stars an opportunity to branch out and be more than just a girl who does porn.”

LOS ANGELES — The Association of Sites Advocating Child Protection (ASACP) has named Streamate, Fleshlight, and GFY/Internext as its featured sponsors for October 2024.
ASACP is a nonprofit organization with a 28-year history dedicated to promoting online child safety. The association is committed to protecting children from online harm with the support of numerous companies, organizations, and individuals.
“The pivotal role of the association’s sponsors in shaping the future of online child protection, especially in guiding efforts toward age verification to preserve the innocence of youth, is truly commendable and deeply appreciated,” said ASACP executive director Tim Henning. “The tools provided by ASACP, made possible by the support of our sponsors, are not just beneficial, they are invaluable.”
Streamate
At Streamate.com, users can chat and interact with amateur performers of every type while watching them live on camera, creating a highly unique and personal social and entertainment experience. Membership is free, and there is no monthly or recurring fee to view the site, although premium chat sessions are offered at per-minute prices.
Streamate’s Director of Marketing, Liz R., notes that ASACP is among the most essential parts of our industry.
“Their commitment and ongoing effort to protect children and fight against exploitation is more important than ever,” Liz said. “As the industry (and world) continue to change and adapt to external requirements, having ASACP directly focus on protection is invaluable.”
Liz explains that of the many resources ASACP offers, the RTA label is likely among the most impressive, and she believes that “simply put, everyone should use it!”
“Given the current climate around age verification, online safety, security, and privacy, it benefits everyone to collaborate and find ways to tackle the hurdles we face as an industry,” Liz added. “Finding the most effective ways to ensure our audiences are confirmed adults adds value to our efforts and ensures our audiences remain confident in our products. Our support of organizations such as ASACP is critical to this!”
Fleshlight
Since 2007, Fleshlight and its parent company, Interactive Life Forms, have been proud ASACP Corporate Sponsors and recognized leaders in sexual wellness and satisfaction. Pioneering the development of advanced haptic devices, Fleshlight merges traditional pleasure products with cutting-edge technology.
Fleshlight is honored to be recognized for its continuing commitment to child safety, exemplifying both innovation and responsibility in the industry. It also continues in its commitment to providing high-quality adult novelties to adults only while aspiring to broaden and improve the overall discourse on male sexuality.
“In many ways, men have been left out of the modern sexual wellness movement, which openly celebrates female pleasure and female-oriented products in the mainstream, out in the open. However, male pleasure products are often subject to social stigma or ridicule, and male masturbation is still often seen as a shameful act instead of a healthy, natural human occurrence,” Fleshlight founder Steve Shubin explained. “I hope that through our continuing work, Fleshlight can help alleviate that situation while taking the discourse surrounding male sexuality towards a healthier, more positive direction for all adults.”
GFY/Internext
An In-Kind Media Sponsor since 2021, GFY.com is known for its lively community and uncensored discussions.
GFY features dedicated message boards for topics ranging from casual commentary to in-depth adult and mainstream business discussions. In addition, educational forums and online marketplaces for content, jobs, services, traffic, and more round out the GFY experience.
GFY’s “Where the Industry Meets” tagline underscores its value as a veteran resource, Internext Expo event host, and adult digital media business touchpoint.
“Our sponsors’ contributions are not just about supporting the association but also about shaping the industry and, most importantly, ensuring children’s online safety, which is a responsibility we all share,” Henning added. “ASACP’s sponsors are contributing to building a better world for consenting adults and society’s most vulnerable members. This is an honorable mission that the association will continue to embrace and spread to all industry stakeholders.”
NEW YORK — OnlyFans owner Leo Radvinsky has for the first time landed a spot on Forbes magazine’s annual list of the 400 wealthiest Americans.
The 42-year-old Florida-based premium social media mogul and adult industry veteran was first listed as a billionaire by Forbes in 2022.
OnlyFans’ immense popularity “has unleashed a massive payday for Radvinsky,” the wealth news publication declared, noting that the Fenix International and MyFreeCams owner “made headlines last month after paying himself a whopping $472 million dividend last year, the equivalent of about $1.2 million a day.”
According to Forbes, Radvinsky “siphoned more than $1 billion in cash from the business since 2021, according to the company’s financial statements. Thanks to these hefty dividend payments and the ballooning value of the overall business — now valued by Forbes at nearly $3 billion — Radvinsky debuts on The Forbes 400 list of the richest Americans this year with an estimated net worth of $3.8 billion.”
Since 2022, Forbes added, Radvinsky’s fortune has nearly tripled.
As XBIZ reported last month, OnlyFans disclosed its financial records for the fiscal year ending Nov. 30, 2023, as part of a Fenix International U.K. regulatory filing, estimating that the company paid a mean average of nearly $1,300 per creator during that period.
According to the filing, gross payments made through the platform rose from $5.55 billion in 2022 to $6.63 billion in 2023, a 19% increase.
Based on those figures, Variety reported at the time that OnlyFans creators earned total payouts of $5.32 billion in 2023, or a mean average of nearly $1,300 per creator.
