HUNTINGTON BEACH, Calif. — SexToyDistributing is now shipping XR Brands’ new 10X Thrusting & 10X Vibrating Saddle Sex Machine, from its Lovebotz line.
The saddle features three speeds, seven vibration patterns and 10 thrusting speeds, along with four silicone attachments — three dildos and a non-penetrating clitoral stimulator.
“Sex machines are an investment, which is why we only carry quality models that our customers can count on,” said Wholesale Supervisor Brenda Reynoso. “The Bucking Saddle is beautiful, powerful and well made, and it is especially exciting because we haven’t seen a model with thrusting capabilities before. Straddle-style sex machines like the Bucking Saddle are a classic design that shoppers are often already familiar with, thanks to the internet. This has the potential to attract both new shoppers and current vibration-only sex machine owners.”

LOS ANGELES — First Amendment lawyer and Free Speech Coalition (FSC) Board of Directors Executive Committee member Reed Lee has passed away at the age of 68.
Lee, a former president and current officer of the First Amendment Lawyers Association (FALA), had served on the FSC Board since 2002, serving as chair of the Legal Committee as well as on the Executive Committee.
“I write with tears in my eyes,” said FSC Board Chair Jeffrey Douglas in a letter to FALA. “Our brother and friend, Reed Lee, died of an apparent heart attack. He was hospitalized on Christmas.
“I had the privilege of serving on the Free Speech Coalition Board of Directors for over 20 years,” Douglas continued. “I traveled with him; together, we drafted policy papers, by-laws, pleadings and analyses of regulations and statutes; sat through countless hours of committee and board meetings; went to out-of-the-ordinary establishments in the variety of places FALA and FSC have taken us. We managed the numerous FSC statutory challenges handled by many of the great lawyers in this organization.”
Longtime friend and former FSC Board member Colin Rowntree added, “I became close friends with Reed Lee almost 30 years ago, in the adult industry, working with the Free Speech Coalition, and several other advocacy projects over the years. One of my favorite memories with Reed was working with him to prevent the .XXX domain from being allowed by ICANN because we felt that it was a corrupt system that was going to ghettoize the porn industry. Unfortunately, we lost, but we did fight the good fight. Reed and I spoke once a week on the phone for a legal opinion, and, in payment, I would listen to him speak about a Supreme Court case for upwards of an hour and a half. I learned more from those calls about the legal system than I ever did from anywhere else in my entire life.
“As what we would jokingly refer to as the ‘Porn Illuminati,’ we will all miss Reed, and I personally will miss his headshot (above), which I always felt made him look a lot like Allen Ginsberg.”
The Free Speech Coalition released a statement Tuesday night:
With great sadness, the Free Speech Coalition announces the loss of our brother and friend, Reed Lee, on December 26, 2023. Reed served on FSC’s Board of Directors for over twenty years after first becoming acquainted with the organization at the 1998 World Pornography Conference.
Reed was exceedingly dedicated to the Free Speech Coalition, gladly devoting his limited time and boundless analytical ability to defending the adult industry’s rights and freedoms from government obstruction and censorship. His fierce intellect, astounding command of the law, and deep passion for the First Amendment made him a natural choice to chair both the FSC Legal and Legislative Committees. In those roles, he not only led the drafting of policy papers, pleadings and analyses, but also managed numerous FSC statutory challenges, including its current battle against unconstitutional age verification mandates.
Those who served with him on the FSC Board knew Reed as a deep and critical thinker who loved a spirited debate. He admired the great civil rights icon Bayard Rustin and committed his life and actions to fighting for labor rights, the democratic process, and free expression. He was a person of immense integrity who lived his life in concordance with his principles in every possible way.
For those and many other reasons, the staff and Board of the Free Speech Coalition are heartbroken and mourn his passing with profound sorrow.
“Everyone at FSC is completely devastated by this sudden and incomprehensible loss,” added FSC Executive Director Alison Boden. “Reed’s inimitable brilliance, fundamental kindness, and total dedication to the causes he believed in leave an enormous hole in our hearts.”
Lee is survived by his life partner, Claudia Halloran.
