Visit any top porn site today, and you'll be spoiled for choice. At YouPorn (which Wikipedia brands the most-popular "adult" site in the world), the viewer can choose from thousands of videos in dozens of genres. But for as long as we've had Internet porn, one category has stood as the most sought-after of all: barely legal teens. More »

The French are supposed to be all enlightened, but apparently not when it comes to sex toys: Catholic groups are trying to get a sex shop closed down on the grounds that it's selling "pornographic" materials near a school. But if if they succeed, sex shops could be banned from everywhere but "cemeteries, public gardens and railways." More »

After the Daily Mail ran a story about Ioana Spangenberg, an 84 lb. model with a 20-inch waist (which becomes even smaller when she wears her corset) I naturally watched a YouTube clip of her impossible Barbie-Doll-come-to-life proportions in motion and couldn't help but wonder, "What the fuck does she even model?" I mean, no designer's clothes would fit her figure. Then I discovered the website that released her video — Skinnyfans.com (link NSFW) — and realized she doesn't need clothes. Because it's porn.

"Facials are degrading — and that's why they're so hot." So says America's leading sex columnist Dan Savage about the act of ejaculating semen on to someone's face. But the appeal of the facial can't be summed up with that single term. Rather, this act that's become the standard coda in porn is about much more than the longing to dominate or humiliate a sex partner. Understanding what makes it such a ubiquitous trope in adult movies (and in people's private sexual lives) means understanding a particularly male longing for acceptance. More »

As sex addiction becomes fodder for TV scripts and philandering athlete excuses, doctors and researchers are turning their eyes to its study. Specifically, is sex addiction even a real thing? Can women be sex addicts? Why do women become addicted to sex? And, most importantly, is it just another term for "being super slutty?" More »

The ballot measures to require porn actors to wear condoms has qualified to go before Los Angeles voters in June, though some are still working to stop it. The AIDS Healthcare Foundation gathered far more than the required 41,000 signatures needed for the initiative, but L.A. City Attorney Carmen Trutanich has filed a legal challenge, saying only the state of California, not the city, has the authority to mandate condom use and charge fees to pay for inspections. More »

With the launch of the .xxx domain, purveyors of porn are eagerly snapping up descriptive domains. But another type of entity entirely is showing its appetite for porn domains: colleges and universities. They're not doing it so that it's easier for their cash-strapped students to sell their bodies in order to fund their educations; they're doing it to keep porn companies from launching Your University-themed smut sites.

There's been debate about whether or not condoms should be required on porn sets for some time, and now a group says they've collected more than enough signatures to put the issue before voters in Los Angeles in June. Though there have been several recent scares that temporarily shut down production, opponents insist the current system of consistently testing performers is working and say it's wrong to regulate what people do in their sex lives. Proponents of mandatory condoms counter that they aren't trying to push their morals on anyone, it's just a worker safety issue. More »

Yesterday, Yale's president announced that the university's "Sex Week," an exploration of sexual issues featuring panels discussions, guest speakers, and other events, will no longer be allowed to use Yale's name or facilities. Conservative students have been campaigning against Sex Week for some time, calling it pro-porn and anti-relationship. But the president's explanation for the ban includes some more serious allegations. More »

She wasn't doing it naked surrounded by 10 aroused guys, but nevertheless Sasha Grey has found herself at the center of an hysterical storm after parents of Emerson Elementary School in Compton complained that the former porn star was reading to first and third graders as part of Read Across America. Tweeting that she had a great time and the students were the "sweetest," a rep for the school district now denies she was ever there despite substantial photographic evidence to suggest otherwise. What's more intriguing than the fact that Sasha and the kids looked like they were having fun, is how the Helen Lovejoys even figured out her past in the first place. Were moms and dads typing complaint emails with one hand while keeping up-to-date with her Tweets or feverishly masturbating to one of her old clips with the other? [TMZ] More »

The Catholic Church is no stranger to preaching one thing and doing another. There are, of course, the recent sexual abuse cases, and who can forget the Crusades? Now we have a new—less egregious but still annoying—violation to add to the list!

Of course it was. More »

For decades, critics of pornography have insisted that it objectifies women. The thinking is that the more prominent a woman's body is, the more people are inclined to treat her ans an object — and less inclined to think of her as a human with thoughts, goals and emotions. But in a new study, researchers have found that's not necessarily true. More »

She hawks everything from cheap perfume to public toilets, but another classy revenue earner for the Kim Kardashian empire is her sex tape — you know, the thing responsible for kick-starting her perplexing career. While we knew she decided to settle for a cut of the profits in lieu of blocking sales, Vivid Video founder Steven Hirsch, who owns the rights to the footage, says it's earning her a lot more than you'd think. "I expect the Kim tape to surpass [the Pamela Anderson video]," he says of his most profitable acquisition. "With the Internet, people feel more comfortable with celebrities than ever before. They follow them on Twitter and on Facebook, so it's just a natural progression that they'd be interested in seeing them in an adult movie." [CNN] More »

Poor, exhausted-seeming Amanda Knox has endured a stateside media frenzyapalooza since her return to America after her murder conviction was overturned by an Italian appeals court. And now, to add to the cacophony, an offer to work for Vivid Entertainment. The job isn't to have sex with mustachioed thunderdicks, and Knox would be allowed to keep her clothes entirely on. Vivid's not actually asking her to appear on camera at all; the company wants to hire her to travel around to various adult entertainment-themed events and serve as a company spokeswoman. More »

In the past decade, cable providers have avoided discussing the fact that a portion of their revenue comes from pay-per-view and on-demand porn. Yes, some customers are paying as much a $9.95 to rent hardcore films from the comfort of their own homes. Or rather, were paying. Just as the internet decimated porn magazines and adult video stores, it's destroying the cable porn business. And this makes the cable companies sad. Please, help them to help you masturbate! More »

Every 20 minutes, a new reality show is born. Okay, so maybe we totally made that up, but doesn't it feel that way? And literally thousands of people are signing up for their shot at their 15 minutes (or more, if they're Bethenny Frankel). Given the sheer quantity of participants, it's not surprising that some reality TV subjects would have a random connection to the adult film industry, but it's actually much more common than one would think. And it's become obvious that as reality television shows increase in leaps and bounds each year, so do its similarities and connections to porn. They're the peas and carrots of the entertainment industry. More »

Welcome to Jezebel After Midnight, in which we indulge in sexy sex talk. Note: All links in this post are NSFW. I haven't watched a lot of porn in my life, and up until recently, when I heard the term "male porn star," I thought of not-traditionally-attractive legend Ron Jeremy, whom I would never actually want to, you know, fuck. Unlike female porn stars — Jenna Jameson, Sasha Grey, Traci Lords — it seems like male porn stars seldom become household names, or even find any recognition or fame outside of porn. But recently, poking around on our sister site Fleshbot one night, I discovered a British/Thai porn actor named Keni Styles. I checked out a few photos. Then I watched a video. And then a short film. Then I checked out his blog and started following him on Twitter. It goes without saying that I liked what I saw. Fantasy fuck, without a doubt. And now that a few months have passed, I can admit it: I have a crush on Keni Styles. He's hot, he's busting stereotypes about Asian men, he's funny and his accent is sexy. More »
