The guests standing alongside Utah Governor Gary Herbert on April 19, 2016, were as puritanical as their topic of discussion was—in their minds, anyway—lascivious. Squeezed shoulder-to-shoulder behind a podium for a press conference, they had come to the Utah state capitol to talk about porn.
It’s been a minute since Ted Cruz has humiliated himself in a disgusting way (see: white thing on mouth), but my god, was this one ever worth the wait. Around the witching hour of Tuesday morning, when all but a few stalwart tweeters were sound asleep, @tedcruz was discovered to have liked a porn tweet.
I’m old. So old that my introduction to “porn” was hardcover books in my parent’s den. When I was a teenager, Judy Blume’s Wifey was hardcore imagery for me. Eventually, I was an adult and I could order OnDemand movies from Comcast. Then I got semi-knowledgeable about porn and what I liked. While I understood the…
Porn—the solar eclipse goggles of watching-life-pass-you-by, and excellent afternoon programming—was briefly neglected by its reliable viewership as the sun was blotted out by the moon and the “path of totality” plunged into eerie twilight darkness.
David Simon’s forthcoming HBO series The Deuce is ostensibly about how porn became the cultural and economic juggernaut it is today—but it’s also about misogyny, according to David Simon. Cool.
One reason I love Game of Thrones is that it’s consistent. At any given moment you’re tuning in you expect, perhaps unconsciously, that characters will fuck, characters will die, dynasties will crumble, and many viewers will immediately go back to watching porn at the conclusion of the episode.
On Monday, Variety reported that filmmaker Maria Demopoulos filed a lawsuit alleging porn star James Deen undermined her latest documentary’s distribution deal with Showtime by taking signed releases from her producer’s office. Demopoulos’s film addresses multiple rape and assault allegations that were made against…
Sports Illustrated experimented with just what you can put on a supermarket rack without a plastic cover way back in 2015 when the cover of their swimsuit issue featured model Hannah Davis (now Jeter) pulling her bikini bottoms down to her vulva, but have you checked in lately? At this point, the SI swimsuit Twitter…
Last night, a display screen in Union Station—one of Washington DC’s main transit hubs—found itself moonlighting as a tiny pornographic theater. Now, Gizmodo can exclusively reveal footage of the incident, and I can assure you that, one, it’s definitely pornography, and two, I have never had a commute this stimulating.
Matt Hickey is a photographer and writer who was based in Seattle, when he allegedly ran an elaborate recruitment scam in order to sleep with women who thought they were auditioning to work in pornography. He supposedly created multiple fake accounts on Facebook to trick women into trusting him, by posing as a female…
In an op-ed today at the Wall Street Journal, Pamela Anderson and Rabbi Shmuley Boteach decry what they describe as pornography’s “corrosive effects” on a “man’s soul,” and, as a result, porn’s negative impact on fatherhood and the institution of the family. The two are friends, apparently.
After hearing a proposal by North Carolina delegate Mary Frances Forrester, a subcommittee of Republicans has agreed to label pornography as a “public health crisis” in the draft party platform that will be ratified next week at the Republican National Convention in Cleveland.
A California state health board voted down a measure Thursday that could have required adult film performers to wear condoms, face masks, dental dams, rubber gloves, and goggles. The New York Times was there, with a few words about the actual ruling and many asides about what the porn stars who testified were wearing…

In a new blog post on his website, James Deen thanked “everyone” for their support following his two wins at the AVN Awards this past weekend.
The Adult Video News Awards are the biggest event in the porn world, which is why it made sense when it was announced in December that they’d be hosting a panel discussion on consent. The panel was reportedly set to feature Stoya, the performer who accused ex-boyfriend James Deen of rape. And now, Fusion reports, it’s…
In November, adult actress Stoya ignited a firestorm in two tweets, when she accused ex-boyfriend James Deen of rape. Deen professed himself “baffled” by allegations from both Stoya and multiple other exes and porn performers, and after a brief hiatus, has seemingly returned to his regular filming and deep tweeting …
Kink.com, the San Francisco-based BDSM and fetish porn studio at which a portion of the alleged sexual assaults by James Deen took place, has changed its policies in an attempt to prevent future abuses.
