Larry Flynt has placed ads in Texas asking, "Have you had a gay or straight sexual encounter with Governor Rick Perry? Can you provide documented evidence of illicit sexual or intimate relations with the governor? Larry Flynt and Hustler magazine will pay you up to $1 million if we choose to publish your verified story and use your material." But the ads were placed in The Onion and the Austin Chronicle. But why does Flynt think Onion readers would have sex with Rick Perry? More »

Some consider him a champion of First Amendment rights. Others think he's a vile smut peddler who's made his fortune by playing into the basest of immoral fantasies, particularly those that tend to feature females as victims of violence or molestation. But what does Flynt think of his own experiences as a victim of violence and molestation? More »

What's the line between a consensual BSDM relationship — one party as master, another as slave — and a "brutally tortured sex slave"? Probably when the FBI says that the woman is mentally disabled and tried to escape. More »

There is a nice eulogy, of sorts, to the end of the porn magnate era in the Financial Times today, noting the lackluster performance (pun completely intended) of many porn magnates' porn businesses. Hugh Hefner, Penthouse founder Bob Guccione, Hustler Larry Flynt and Brits Paul Raymond (himself deceased) and David Sullivan are all name-checked by way of noting that traditional porn outlets have gone the way of, well, elderly men's unmedicated boners, with low-cost amateur and illegal uploads winning the war for eyeballs and boners — lady- and traditional — if not for money. With the slow-but-steep decline (what is it with me and the penis jokes today?) of the older Barons of Porn, though, it's probably equally fair to ask the question: what does this bode for women in the industry?

Last night IFC aired the documentary Larry Flynt: The Right to be Left Alone, which went into detail about the porn publisher's life, work, and crusade for free speech. The most gripping parts of the film focused on Flynt's wife Althea, whom he met when she was just 17. Althea had a really tragic life - her father shot her mother and grandparents when she was eight, then she and her four siblings were raised in orphanages until she ran away as a teenager - and perhaps an even more tragic death. Once a driven, articulate woman and editorial director of Hustler, she spiraled into drug addiction, was diagnosed with AIDS in 1983 (which Larry insists was caused by a drug transfusion after a hysterectomy), and, four years later, drowned in a bathtub after drug overdose. There were together for 16 years, Flynt's longest relationship, and he still calls her his soul mate. Clip above. More »

Tonight at 9 PM EST, IFC is airing Larry Flynt: The Right to Be Left Alone, a documentary about the famed porn publisher and his legal fight to protect his First Amendment rights. The film features archival interview footage, including filmed rants of Flynt behind bars after he was arrested for wearing an American flag as a diaper. (The doc is supposed to be much more true to life than The People Vs. Larry Flynt; Flynt himself admits that the Hollywood version of his life was very sanitized and lacking in grit.) Check out the preview for it here. [Men Style] More »

Well, it was bound to happen: The Eliot Spitzer call girl scandal has been turned into a porn film and the title is perfect: Gov Lov: The Eliot Splitz-Her Story. (How great is it that the DVD box cover looks like the New York Post? Fleshbot has the NSFW version of the box cover.) The film is being released by Hustler, which has a long history of making sex and politics strange bedfellows. "This movie parody is an example of one of the reasons I went to the Supreme Court in 1988 — to make parody protected speech," Hustler publisher Larry Flynt said via a press release we received last night. The movie comes out May 27, but you can see the trailer after the jump. (No worries, it's safe for work.) More »
