LAS VEGAS — Casey Kisses is celebrating her 2021 XBIZ Awards win for “Trans Performer of the Year,” following on her 2020 XBIZ Cam Awards win for “Best Trans Cam Model.”

Recipients of the 2021 XBIZ Awards, presented by MyFreeCams, were revealed Thursday, January 14 during a live broadcast on XBIZ.tv.

“First of all, I just want to say, ‘Wow!'” Kisses offered. “Winning ‘Trans Performer of the Year’ caught me so off-guard.”

Kisses added she is “normally super-nervous at award shows.”

“But I was so caught up in all the fun, I was shocked when I heard they were announcing ‘Trans Performer of the Year,'” she recalled. “To be honest, the second I heard my name called I started tearing up. It has been my dream to win an XBIZ Award and this wasn’t just any award — it was the award for ‘Trans Performer of the Year!'”

“I tried to make my speech short-and-sweet to leave time for other models, but now that I can, I’d really like to thank a few people who come to mind,” she continued.

“I really wanted to thank Bree Mills, Radius Dark, Joey Silvera, Jim Powers, Tom Moore, Ricky Greenwood, Lance Hart, Christian XXX and all of the directors and producers who have provided me countless opportunities to get better and better over the years,” she said.

Kisses also paid tribute to her “hot and sexy co-stars.”

“I consider so many of you close friends. I’d like to thank my fans for supporting me. This would not be possible without you. My [publicist] and friend, Kristel Penn, has been one of my biggest supporters throughout all of these years,” she said.

“I’d like to thank Chaturbate for providing the platform I got recognized on,” the performer added. “It’s been life-changing and a huge part of how I got here today. All of the [team] over at XBIZ for putting the show together, it seriously has brought me so many valuable connections and has taught me a wealth of information about our industry. Even through the craziness of the pandemic, you all pulled it off. It was amazing; thank you!”

“And lastly I’d like to thank my girlfriend, Kylie Le Beau. She’s my editor, my co-star, my shoulder to rest on, my best friend and most of all, the love of my life. I love you, baby. 2021 is our year. Let’s get it!”

Tina Kay Unites the Nations in VR Bangers’ Fantasy ‘The Peacemaker’

LOS ANGELES — Tina Kay stars in VR Bangers’ latest threesome fantasy, “The Peacemaker.”

In “The Peacemaker,” a rep explained, “you become a super-important person in the middle of negotiations, and you are joined by Tina herself.”

“Since the girl prizes national security above all, and wants to achieve peace at any cost, she is willing to sacrifice everything for her country — including using her own body as a ‘connector,’ literally, between two horny guys.”

“She wants to give all the pleasure to both you and the other ambassador,” the rep added. “Her will is as strong as her love for her country.”

“This is an idea we had going in our minds for a while now,” admitted Mike Henigan, VR Bangers producer. “B/B/G threesome VR porn movies are rather rare and hard to produce, so we are happy with the outcome and are sure that our fans and members are going to love it.”

Utah Lawmaker Reintroduces Bill Mandating Default ‘Porn Blocks’ on All Devices

SALT LAKE CITY — Utah politicians continue their periodic attempts to pass hard-to-enforce state bills — allegedly to protect the citizenry from a made-up “public health crisis” around porn — with a new bill introduced to the legislature this week requiring “new electronic devices” to have pornography filters turned on by default.

The most recent example of Utah politicians’ single-minded obsession with pornography comes courtesy of Representative Susan Pulsipher (R-South Jordan). Her House Bill 72 mandating porn filters — from which for-profit, faith-based software companies have been profiting for some time — would go into effect in 2022, the local CBS affiliate reported, adding that international manufacturers of phones and computers like Apple or Google may face civil liability if they don’t comply.

“If a user does not want the filter, they would need to turn it off manually,” KUTV added.

One State’s Obsessive ‘War on Porn’

As XBIZ has been reporting, Utah legislators spend much time and the Western state’s limited resources introducing, debating and occasionally passing bills decrying “the scourge of pornography.”

Last year, the legislature passed a bill mandating that all adult content on the internet carry a specific warning label, under penalty of state fines.

This theatrical, almost-impossible-to-enforce bill was not signed by Governor Herbert, who let it die by exercising his “pocket veto” prerogative.

Herbert showed some practical restraint, in contrast with his 2016 signing of a resolution drafted by religious anti-porn group NCOSE (aka Morality in Media) declaring the existence of a dubious “public health crisis” around porn and recommended that public health resources be spent training health care workers on how to combat it.

Representative Pulsipher’s original draft of the bill she introduced this week had been criticized by other state lawmakers back in October.

As XBIZ reported, her proposal to require smartphones and computers to have pre-installed porn-blocking software, and to have it activated as the default option when sold to Utahns, was quashed during a committee hearing at the state’s Business and Labor Interim Committee.

According to a report by Deseret News at the time, Pulsipher said “the goal of her effort was to create another wall of defense to help protect children from ‘the damaging impact of pornography’ and ‘empower parents and legal guardians to limit a minor’s exposure to such online harmful material.'”

Several members of the Utah Business and Labor Interim Committee, however, noted then that “it would be extremely difficult to identify which entity in the consumer electronics supply chain should be held liable for ensuring that software was activated.”

According to public records, Representative Pulsipher’s declared occupation is as a real estate appraiser. She appears to have no background in technology issues.

LOS ANGELES — The “Hump! 2021” amateur erotic film festival, co-founded and curated by sexpert and author Dan Savage, will screen from January 30 through March 6. Ticketing details are now available.

Ticketing options for the adults-only events include a virtual viewing party with Savage on January 30; a nude-only screening on February 27; a captioned screening on February 28; and screenings scheduled for time zones in Australia, Central Europe and West Africa.

“Hump! celebrates creative sexual expression,” noted a festival rep. “Hump! will shock you. Hump! will make you laugh. Hump! will turn you on. But Hump! will also touch you with its sincerity and vulnerability. Hump! wants to change the way you see — and make and share — porn.”
