"Old Man" Porn Is Fun For All Ages
Shigeo Tokuda is the famed 74-year-old Japanese porn star behind a new Japanese genre of Japanese adult entertainment dubbed "old man porn." And its growth is anything but mature. Tokuda's ouevre comprises such diverse titles as Maniac Training of Lolitas to Forbidden Elderly Care. Young people love him because he has "something that only an older generation has and the young people do not possess, because they lived that much more," in the words of the director. And older people love him because, in contrast to the youngsters and their "school dramas," they can relate to him. Really, it's somewhat analogous to the John McCain phenomenon! And yeah, I know what you're thinking, readers. You're thinking, "Great, just another way men get to grow old and saggy and clog their arteries without any of the devastating desexualization we have to go through." But! More »

Porn Star Tera Patrick Plans "World Domination"
The Insider loves its female porn star coverage, so it was no surprise to us to see Tera Patrick featured on last night's "In Depth" segment. What was surprising (and encouraging) was how positive the piece was. Tera is sort of the new Jenna Jameson, in that she's totally crossing over into mainstream media. However, unlike Jenna, Tera doesn't have a bitter attitude toward the industry that's made her a star. Also, unlike Jenna, Tera seems to still be eating. She's voluptuous and upbeat and unapologetic, and we kinda love her for it. However, at the end of the segment, The Insider noted that Tera and her husband (ex-Biohazard bassist Evan Seinfeld) are working on a joint "biography." Really, Insider? Who are they writing about?

A Porn Addiction Is A Little More Than Just An Interest
Not that anyone here is looking to get sex advice from Fox News Sexpert Yvonne Fulbright, but some people probably do so I figured someone needed to respond to her article 8 Signs Your Partner is Addicted to Porn, which is actually more like "Universal Signs There Are Problems In Your Relationship" rather than an actual addiction — which, if you accuse him of having, you're not likely to really get a productive response because you're already not communicating if these things are going on. But, join me after the jump as I deconstruct her unhelpful advice that is mostly based on porn-shaming and the people who do it and less on actual protocols for identifying addictive behavior. More »

Father Gives Daughter Bikini Waxes, Rides To Work At A Brothel
Today's episode of Tyra was about women who are looking to become legal prostitutes in Nevada. One particularly fucked up segment featured Summer, a pretty 18-year-old who is an "up and coming" adult film actress about to start working at the infamous Moonlight Bunny Ranch. Summer's father is also her manager, and he not only talked her into working at the brothel, but gives her Brazilian bikini waxes. Almost more insane? They actually show him doing it. Now, I'm pro-porn and pro-sex work, and I feel like people should be allowed to make their own choices when it comes to how they want to make their money. But maybe I'm not as progressive as I thought I was, because this shit is just wrong. Oh, and when Summer is shown crying when her dad drops her off at the brothel? He says, "you forgot something," and you think he's gonna give her words of encouragement or a hug, but instead, he hands her a giant bottle of lube.

Cumming To A Smut Shop Near You: The Eliot Splitz-Her Story
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 »
Vivid director Tristan Taormino will be launching a new reality-based porn series called "Rough Sex." Tristan will direct the first film in the series, and plans to have the rest of the series directed by women as well. "The problem isn't with the depiction of hardcore sex itself," she said in a press release today. "It's about sex that is seen as one-sided, degrading and hostile. Many women love rough sex and these films will give us a chance to present their desires from their perspective."

Can A Self-Respecting Porn Star Ever Succeed As A Mainstream Actress?
An article from Premiere.com attempts to tackle the issue of actresses going from porn to mainstream projects. The story is tied to the fact that Jenna Jameson is starring in Zombie Strippers, which, while it may be kitschy, is not porn. Writes Glenn Kenny: "While recent advances in sexual frankness onscreen seem to be constantly bringing porn and mainstream entertainment closer and closer together, crossing over remains an elusive dream for performers who come up through the world of adult. Is there a double standard? Given that the likes of Kerry Fox, Mark Rylance, and Chloë Sevigny, to name just a few well-regarded actors, have appeared in explicit unsimulated sex scenes and not been tagged with some sort of career stigma suggests there is. But it's a little more complicated than that."More »

It must be sexy pregnant lady day today or something. Nina Hartley has announced the release of her latest DVD Nina Hartley's Guide to Great Sex During Pregnancy. Hartley, a former nurse, said, "There's a real curiosity and a lot of misinformation on sex during pregnancy. I felt it was time to set the record straight ... and I believe the public is ready to accept that a pregnant woman can be a sexual, desirable woman." [AVN]

In Defense Of Joe Francis (Sort Of)
Don't get me wrong, Girls Gone Wild founder Joe Francis is a douche nozzle. He has a lot of idiot friends (Tara Reid, Paris Hilton), he's bristling with entitlement, and probably worst of all, he's under the assumption that his brand of objectification is merely the observation of women's sexual liberation. But people shouldn't have to go to jail just because we aren't fans of them or their work. Joe's legal problems have been going on for years, a lot of which has been at the hands of the Justice Department's Obscenity Prosecution Task Force. Here's the thing about that: The government doesn't give a fuck that drunk girls are flashing their tits for frat guys to jerk off to. They care that they don't get a cut of the action it's bringing in. (Stuff like firearms, tobacco, and alcohol all have hefty government taxes.) The business of sex is a lucrative one, and the Obscenity Task Force was formed to catch smut peddlers on shit like sloppy record keeping, in order to fine them or seize their assets. "It's terrifying, honestly," Vivid Alt's Eon McKai* told us. "It's a bit like a witch hunt."

Fox News Mouthpiece Doesn't Understand Sex Workers, Art
A couple days ago, conservative radio host Laura Ingraham was sitting in for Bill O'Reilly on Fox News and interviewed Annie Oakley, founder and director of the Sex Worker's Art Show. (The same Sex Worker's Art Show that got William & Mary's president fired.) Ingraham showed a complete lack of professionalism — or class, for that matter — by referring to the performance art exhibit as a "traveling sex show," making it sound like some sort of orgy circus that tours the country in a caravan of covered wagons. In fact, Ingraham was so busy being a judgmental, condescending jerkass that she didn't get that the show is not porn, but art about the experiences of those who work in the sex industry. Clip above.

Victorians Loved Self-Help Books, Just Like Us!
For decades, a secret stash of Victorian books languished in the Cambridge University library tower, and naturally, students thought they were filled with high-grade bonnet-wearing scat porn. Well, librarians, bolstered by a million-dollar grant, finally sorted through those dusty tomes, and though the books were from the Victorian era, unfortunately they weren't very sexy. The books were, in fact, self-help manuals, advising polite English ladies and gentlemen on how to conduct romantic relationships, and today, the Guardian summarizes several of the books, all of which have the most fantastic titles, like Hints on Matrimony by a Practical Man, Flirting Made Easy and The New Letter Writer for Lovers, which provided templates for letters specific to certain romantic entanglements. What should a man do if he only met a woman once, but felt it was love at first sight? Check out the steamy suggestions, after the jump. More »
