LOS ANGELES — ASACP has named Lion’s Den, ImLive and 7Veils Media as its Featured Sponsors for June.

“Among the industry’s most respected companies,” a rep explained, “ASACP’s Featured Sponsors offer valuable examples of how corporate responsibility, ethical operation and proactive measures help protect minors and other viewers from accidental exposure to age-restricted materials online.”

ASACP’s Executive Director Tim Henning said that the nonprofit association’s success relies on market-leading companies, organizations and service providers that are willing to assume a leadership role in the fight to keep minors out of and away from adult-oriented materials.

“By supporting the association and taking several simple steps to restrict access to their apps and sites, ASACP’s sponsors promote online child safety and help protect the innocence of youth,” Henning explained. “By educating publishers and stakeholders about the need for these measures and how they can best be implemented, ASACP continues to make a positive difference in children’s daily digital lives.”

The financial and material support that ASACP receives from its sponsors, including Lion’s Den, ImLive and 7Veils, “power its 25-year record of success and enables its free child protection resources, including market-specific Best Practices and a Code of Ethics for online businesses, app publishers and all operators of age-restricted websites,” a rep said.

June’s Featured Sponsors include:

Lion’s Den

An ASACP Title Sponsor that has supported the association since 2006, Lion’s Den is dedicated to providing the very best in adult merchandise, including a range of adult toys, magazines and DVDs, lingerie, massage oils and gifts for both bachelor and bachelorette parties, and more, through its retail superstores and over the internet via LionsDenAdult.com.

Lion’s Den opened its first retail facility in Columbus, Ohio, in 1971, and has since grown to more than 45 outlets throughout the country, building its reputation on high-quality products, low prices and a courteous sales staff.

“By treating our customers with dignity and respect we have come to form a loyal relationship with our patrons,” said a company spokesperson. “Lion’s Den fully understands that human sexuality is a personal and sensitive matter [and] it is our goal to provide the most secure and safe environment for our customers to explore eroticism without any disconcertion and to protect children from exposure to products and services intended for adults only.”

ImLive

An ASACP Corporate Sponsor since 2007, ImLive is a premium provider of live interactive webcam services that unite a large global base of individual performers and studios with customers from around the world.

This puts the company straight at the forefront of ASACP’s mission to keep minors out of and away from adult entertainment, which it does by requiring chat hosts to provide photo identification for age verification, [which is] part of a series of different identification and compliance measures, and by limiting explicit displays to paid private shows, where only adults are allowed.

Beyond these measures, and its support of ASACP, ImLive showcases its strong commitment to online child safety by making use of RTA labeling, and by offering a “warning page” overlay.

7Veils Media

An In-Kind Media Sponsor since 2013, 7Veils is the premier social media marketing firm for the adult entertainment industry. The company builds Twitter, Facebook and other strategies to integrate with a client’s overall marketing campaign, and assists ASACP in broadening and refining its social media initiatives.

“The adult industry is a leader in child protection and advocacy and it is 7Veils’ privilege to be the social media outlet for this important work,” CEO Lauren MacEwen said. “7Veils chose ASACP specifically because we deeply value a need to protect our minors from sexual exploitation, be it overt or subtly concealed, and 7Veils is proud to provide the social media management for this extremely important organization.”

MacEwen is the 2015 Recipient of the ASACP Service Recognition Award.

“ASACP is grateful for and humbled by the continuing commitment, generosity and leadership displayed by our family of sponsors, including long-term contributors like Lion’s Den, ImLive and 7Veils, and we encourage other market leaders to join us in carrying our mission forward,” Henning concluded. “ASACP’s sponsors take tangible action in the ongoing battle for online child protection — and your company can, too.”

WASHINGTON — The Atlantic published an opinion piece today that criticizes the ongoing War on Porn campaign and its attempts to shut down legal adult content on the internet.

Penned by staff writer Olga Khazan, the opinion piece concluded that although “porn makes for an easy target” for politicians and the professional moralists who lobby them, “legislators focused on labeling it as a ‘public health crisis’ should consider what problems they are actually trying to solve.”

“Many researchers and adult entertainment workers support measures that would reduce kids’ access to porn, ensure that porn videos portray only consenting adults and mandate fair wages for sex workers,” wrote Khazan. “Calling adults’ legal use of pornography a ‘public health crisis’ doesn’t do any of that.”

The Atlantic piece mentions copycat bills distributed by anti-porn lobbyists to likeminded state legislators and efforts to mandate “porn filters.”

The article also correctly identifies the National Center on Sexual Exploitation (NCOSE, formerly Morality in Media) as “an anti-obscenity nonprofit that produced model legislation for the porn-blocking bill and the public-health-crisis bills.”

As XBIZ reported in January, activists waging the New War on Porn routinely declare that adult content is not free expression protected by the First Amendment in the U.S. and by long-standing traditions of freedom of speech in other lands. It is “a public health crisis,” a “drug” and “slavery,” using language and notions developed for years — in some cases decades — in well-funded, religiously-motivated think tanks and lobbies. These groups literally have an agenda: to shut down, by whatever means necessary, online porn.

Khazan also spoke to Arizona state Representative Michelle Udall, who admitted she introduced her state’s public-health-crisis bill in 2019 “after hearing from constituents involved with the anti-porn group Fight the New Drug, and that NCOSE gave her a booklet with data and studies on porn.”

SAN FRANCISCO — Pink and White Productions has announced “Shiny Shorts,” a one-night-only virtual event, set for this Thursday at 5 p.m. (PDT) on PinkLabel.tv, hosted by Shine Louise Houston, that promises “an inside look at the iconic and award-winning adult short films which span the filmmaker’s prolific career.”

Participants will have the opportunity to interact with Houston, and each other, through a live moderated chat feed as the director stops to pause and rewind the six featured shorts: “Occupied,” “Put the Needle on the Record,” “Writing in Bed,” “CrashPad Classics: Siren Wolf and Zelda du Jour,” “Birthday” and Houston’s latest, “Camera and I.”

“This unique, one-of-a-kind presentation offers a rare chance for cinephiles to get up close and personal with one of the industry’s leading queer porn producers,” a rep said.

The event is free to PinkLabel+ members; non-members may purchase a $7 Film Pass. The screening is in English and open to those aged 18 and older; audio descriptions and closed captioning are not available.

Visit PinkLabel.tv for additional details.

MIAMI — Content creator Joslyn Jane has released a new clip in which she and Jungle Girl Z engage in body worship.

“This was a great scene,” Jane said. “Jungle Girl Z is a natural on camera and we had great chemistry. I know how much my fans love big, natural boobs, so I know they’re going to really love this scene.”

The nearly 10-minute clip can be found on Jane’s ManyVids store.

“Marvel as Joslyn and the adventurous busty brunette explore each other’s curvy, all-natural bodies for your pleasure — and theirs,” a rep enthused. “Dangerous curves ahead.”

LOS ANGELES — Jamie Jett joins Brooklyn Gray and Rebel Rhyder in the latest from Mike Adriano’s Swallowed.com.

“I’m always thrilled to be on set with Swallowed, and especially with Brooklyn and Rebel; I look up to both of them as incredibly talented performers. If it were possible to get a graduate degree in improvised dirty talk, Brooklyn would definitely have a PhD,” Jett said.  

“The sweet innocence of the pastel bikinis in this shoot is cutely ironic, because it’s by far the most hardcore oral scene I’ve been a part of,” she observed. “I love Swallowed as a site because it devotes all the time and attention to oral, which lets us get creative. Moreover, a threeway blowjob involves some delicate choreography, so this is definitely the varsity version of giving head.”

Titled “Deep Throat Dream Team with Jamie, Brooklyn & Rebel,” the scene is Jett’s fourth appearance for the studio.

Jett is “one of the most stunning young starlets to ever enter the adult industry,” Adriano noted. “When it comes to blowjobs, Jamie is simply a beast in that department.”

LOS ANGELES — Twice-crowned and reigning XBIZ “MILF Performer of the Year” Cherie DeVille has penned a new article for The Daily Beast that examines “the struggles of being a sex worker in this modern world.”

The story is titled “Think Conservatives Are Censored On Social Media? Try Being a Porn Star” and “perfectly assesses the hypocrisy of big tech and politicians when it comes to defending the right of expression,” noted a rep.

“With the recent announcement by Florida Governor Rick DeSantis that he plans on imposing fines any social media platform that bans political candidates, Cherie points out that sex workers have been suffering from platform bans for awhile, resulting in major losses of income,” the rep added. “Cherie succinctly and thoughtfully expresses her thoughts, using data from CentroU to back up her concerns.”

The performer thanked Daily Beast for giving her a platform to express her thoughts on the compelling issues that affect her career and the careers of her friends and colleagues.

“It’s important that people, both fans and those who don’t follow the industry, understand that social media is a crucial part of our livelihood and as sex workers,” she said. “We are often overlooked.”
