Yes, Mainstream Media, AEE Is A Real Trade Show

Will Juggs Survive The Financiapocalypse?

We often get asked if porn is "recession proof"—or, more specifically, if people will still be jacking it long after their unemployment checks run out (and paying for the privilege to do so). More »

We'll Always Have Keeley: Why Lad Mags Are Good (Or At Least Harmless)

As compelling as Front's response to the charge that lad mags are destroying society may have been, the Telegraph's recent pro-lad mag essay, penned by Michael Deacon (a former Zoo editor!), seems a little more likely to convince, well, anyone. More »

She's On Top: Women Taking Charge Of The Jizz Biz

Despite claims that porn is, to quote James Brown, a man's man's man's world, a recent MSNBC piece reveals that there are, in fact, women in porn—and not just in front of the camera, either. Women like Joy King, Samantha Lewis, and Susan Colvin are all superstars in the porn business (with the emphasis on business). So much for that sausage party. (msnbc.com, via hotmoviesforher.com)

Sasha Grey's Mainstream Domination Marches On

Given the amount of mainstream ground that Sasha Grey has already covered in her short career, it comes as no surprise to hear that she's slid one more mainstream feather into her cap: the 2008 Rolling Stone Hot List features Grey as this year's Hot Porn Star. Of course, it's Rolling Stone Hot List, which has featured porn in years before, so it's not that much of a leap for Grey to be included—but nevertheless, congrats to Sasha!

"Entertainment Tonight" Continues To Probe The World Of Porn

Last night on "Porntertainment Tonight"—er, sorry, "Entertainment Tonight"—the team took a look, hard look at "This Ain't Gilligan's Island XXX." Porn spoofs! So cutting edge! Frankly, we're torn between wanting to mock ET for its recent infatuation with porn... and kinda being excited that a mainstream TV show is spending so much time talking about porn. Think they'll have us on as a guest expert?

Fox News Thinks We Have Excellent Articles Content

It's not every day you hear the words Fox News and Fleshbot in the same sentence; but it seems we have some fans over in the land of fair and balanced coverage. Or at least one fan: J-Ho (aka Jonathan Hoening—not to be confused with the lovely Renae Cruz.) loves our, ahem, "content." Which piece do you think he liked better—the Pissing.com preview gallery or our review of "Tunnel Butts"? Clip above.

Ashley Alexandra Dupre, Repentant Escort

There's a predictable cycle to any major scandal: shock, denial, acceptance, cashing in, and then, eventually, public repentance. Several months since we first heard her name, Ashley Alexandra Dupre has finally reached the last phase, which culminated in an interview with Diane Sawyer. Yes folks, Ashley wants you to know she's deeply sorry for the damage she did to Spitzer's family—and can she please have that record deal please? Clip above.

"The Insider" Takes A Look Inside The Adult Industry

It seems "Entertainment Tonight"'s not the only news magazine with porn on the brain—this week, "The Insider" featured pornstars on not one, but two, episodes, with Tera Patrick and her Teravision infomercial on Tuesday and Vivid Girl Nikki Jayne battling it out with an antiporn preacher on Wednesday. Missed the chance to see it on TV? No worries—we've got a clip of the highlights above.

Seth Rogen Still Loves Porn

Well, it seems you can take the actor out of the porn comedy, but you can't take the porn comedy out of the actor—"Zack and Miri Make a Porno" star Seth Rogen is looking to develop a series for Showtime about a group of buddies who work in a porn shop. So like, "The Office," only with porn? (variety.com, via nerve.com)

More "Pirates" Press Means More Naked Stoya

You may have thought that the arrival of cold weather might put a damper on the "Pirates II" press (pirates hate the cold weather, right?)—but that would have been foolish of you. Remember, the "Pirates" team is on a world tour... and in many places in the world, it's still very, very warm. Regardless, we can't complain too much about the neverending hype that is the "Pirates" franchise: after all, more "Pirates" marketing means more pictures of Jesse Jane and Stoya, naked and touching each other—like on the latest cover of Cheri. See? Everybody wins!

Reality Show Seeks Escort For Non-Exploitative Good Time

Call girls (or escorts, if you prefer) are notoriously private people, who generally prefer to stay off the radar as they pursue the glorious, age old career of exchanging sex and companionship for money. Reality shows, on the other hand, are fundamentally about being on the radar and exploiting the intimate details of your private life for financial gain. We're not sure what you'd call a bizarro world where those two things come together. Oh wait, no, we do know: Hollywood. (reversecowgirlblog.blogspot.com, thumbnail star via Ask Jolene)

The Guardian Takes A Long Hard Look At Porno Plots

Of all the strange mysterious mysteries of the porn world, perhaps the oddest of all is the porno plot. Fundamentally, porn exists so that we can watch two (or more!) people doing it—so why do we need some crazy set up to help us get in the mood? We may never have an answer to that question, but at least we can laugh at this this gallery of porno opening shots. Though we have to say, that rollerskating accident porno looks really compelling.

Philly Loves Stoya, Too

New elected Fleshbot Supreme Commandress Stoya continues her domination of the media (and, um, the world) with the cover story in this week's Philadelphia City Paper. Predictably, the writer is mesmerized by the phenomenon that is Stoya—but unlike most pornstar interviews, the piece actually contains some interesting interview questions, with Stoya sharing her thoughts on relationships, STIs, family, feminism, and, of course, the porn industry. Have a question that Stoya doesn't answer in the interview? Well, just send her an email at askstoya at fleshbot dot com. (citypaper.net)
