    Private Dicks (And Pussies): "Criminal Sex Investigation"

    Had enough of porn parodies? Not yet, Comrade. Imagine, if you will, an Eastern European porn adaptation of "CSI: Las Vegas" and you get the Private's porntastically unfathomable "Criminal Sex Investigation." More »

    Niche Alert: Japanese Cowsplay

    The Japanese have given us so much: Poi, Dokken, the Hewlett-Packard Laserjet 4000N. But they've also given us a distinctive pornic costume style. What happens, then, when Japanese pornstresses dress like their Western counterparts? More »

    Not A Parody: "Gimme A Fucking Spring Break"

    Did we for a moment wonder if Pink Visual had jumped into the parody market and signed Jada Fire to play Nell Carter a la Charlize Theron playing Aileen Wuornos? No, we're not dumb. But these Spring Breakers are! More »

    Leave The Closet Door Open For "Seven Minutes in Heaven"

    There is something Unitarian Universalist about Courtney Trouble's charming all-girl (and trans) spin-the-bottle romp "Seven Minutes in Heaven: Coming Out," but instead of free coffee and homemade lemon squares, newcomers get strapped. More »

    Don't Toss Us Away, Valeria

    The cover of "Big Titted First Timers 7" looks like a Lone Justice sex tape. Who is that woman with the 90's hair and tan lines? Turns out it's Valeria and this compilation is a trip to the 2257-exempt past. More »

    Popshots of the Week!

    Pornish things happened all across California this week and I bore witness to them, from exhibitionists in cow palaces to rabbit holes to Porn's version of the bloodsucking bayou. We start with Noname Jane onstage in San Francisco. More »

    "Ejacula 2" The Future

    In 1993 the world met "Ejacula," a vampiress who, probably because she was immortal, missed the memo that Duran Duran fashions had expired several years earlier. But we also met Tonisha Mills. Two years later the whole "Ejacula" gang returned. More »

    "Vampiress": Waiting To Impale

    We try to steer you right here at Fleshbot, even when our judgment is momentarily clouded by personal friendships, advertising dollars, or cocaine. That is why we'll tell you that "Vampiress" is a horrible movie but it has its charms. More »

    To "Black Devil Doll" With Love

    How can we hate someone who tosses salad, jerks off on windows, and engages in murder of crackers by bat and hammer with the same delirious joy? The answer is that you can't hate the "Black Devil Doll." More »

    Naked Trainwrecks: "Porn's Most Outrageous Outtakes 4"

    It's not always a trainwreck on a porn set, but when it is, Jim Powers knows he can recoup some of his expenses with another fascinating edition of "Porn's Most Outrageous Outtakes." Enter Tanner Mayes. More »

    "Naked States": Beauty Is In The Eyes Of The Beheld

    It is hard to contextualize, much less sexualize, photographer Spencer Tunick's quest to photograph larger and larger groups of nudes in various (re)poses, but the documentary "Naked States" proves that it is the models themselves who define the project. More »

    Jada Fire Gets On Marco's "Dark Side"

    No, "The Dark Side of Marco Banderas" is not an interracial title. It is post-racial. And neither is it a somber and moody piece of porn. In fact, the viewer is left happy for everyone involved. Then there's Jada Fire... More »

    If You're Going To San Francisco

    ...for the Exotic Erotic Ball, remember that things can get a little goopy, oily, and Satanic. Luckily, a sponsor has provided a device for wallflowers to experience the sexiness from between 5 and, say, 11 inches away. Read on... More »

    "Rocco Ravishes L.A.": Someone's in the Toilet with Bobbi

    Look at how Kristina Rose protects Fleshbot readers' tender sensibilities by obscuring Rocco Siffredi's cock with her foot. Perhaps this is why Siffredi later puts Bobbi Starr's head in the toilet. You and your Puritan reservations. More »

    Wear Your Raincoat: "Cummin' At You 3D"

    Porn can be so basic that when someone gets it wrong it can be shocking: How can you fuck up fucking? But "Cummin' At You 3D" gets it gloriously right - in your face! More »

    "Flight Attendants" Crashes Despite Ample Buoyancy

    Global Air's ridership has taken a nosedive since one of its planes did. And rival Trans Con won't let Global forget it! So Global's flight attendants decide to grow their customer base the only way they know how. More »

    Swingers And Ringers: "A Real Swinger's Orgy"

    It is not often that we find a porn movie that is charming, especially at such a cynical time. Private's "A Real Swinger's Orgy" makes having sex with strangers seem fun and wholesome again. More »

    "Pure" Screwing Satisfaction

    It starts innocently enough. Sada (the beautiful Asa Akira) begins an innocuous flirtation with her castrating boss's husband, Kichi (Keni Styles). What knew Sada would get a taste for it herself? More »

    It's Phoenix Marie's "Sexy Life," And You're Welcome To It

    You know who's sexy in person? That Phoenix Marie. She seems, in all the best ways, ready to go. So we were very interested to see her solo project, "My Sexy Life." More »

    Keeping Tori Black All To Yourself

    Few performers can pull off the direct address method of pornography without sounding shrill or blowing their repertoire, but Miss Tori Black both looks good and sounds good in "Interactive Sex with Tori Black." More »

    "2040": Alektra Blue Is A Real Doll

    It is 2040 and sex with humans just isn't safe. Three decades ago (holy shit that's next year !!!) a perfect storm of diseases converged to produce "a worldwide pandemic of epic proportions." What will this do to Love? More »

    "The Sex Files" Helps Us Believe Again

    Porn doesn't fly off the shelves anymore (unless it's HAUNTED), so parodies must stand on their own (if you can be expected to). We wanted to believe Kimberly Kane and Anthony Rosano in "The Sex Files," and we did. More »

    Angelic Shirley Is Waiting In A Tampa Gloryhole

    Somewhere in a dingy Tampa bookshop kneels naked, 20-year-old Shirley. She peers through a crudely cut hole in the sheetrock and waits for all comers. She doesn't have to wait long. More »

    The Ego Stroker Helps Her Get A Grip

    You ever put someone's eye out while you were in the mysterious 69 position? It is the secret shame of many. But with the 69® Ego Stroker CyberSkin® Oral Sex Enhancer, she will never lose her grip again. More »

    "OverStuffed 9": What To Do With Your Bat In The Postseason

    To call it "charming" would be a stretch (literally) , but the exertions of the women in "Overstuffed 9," as we watch them fit bigger and bigger objects into themselves, is at the very least plucky. More »

    My Tutor: Gracie Glam And Tanner Mayes

    Gracie Glam masturbates (as would you) in a camper in the middle of California's windswept high desert. Just outside stands Tanner Mayes, her masturbation fodder. "You're 18 now," breathes Mayes. "You don't have to do this alone." More »

    "Trisexual Asylum": So Much More Than A Booby Hatch

    Consider the Brazilian transsexual. How many times has she heard the party-ending question "Who brought the tranny to the threesome" (and in Portuguese, no less)? Now imagine how high the stakes would be in a mental hospital. More »

    Popshots of the Week! Cummin' On Ya

    It was difficult to find an above-the-fold image to grace this week's Sindee/Bree/Sasha/Jada-rrific Popshots, so we went with a time-honored rule: No Penile Penetration on the First Page (but you can be assured that Sindee Jennings is thinking about it). More »

    "Teenage Babysitters": Now In German

    Sometimes we ask too much of porn. "Make it clever so we won't feel guilty." "Don't make us think too much." But the question that rang through our screening of "Teenage Babysitters" was, "Shouldn't babysitter porn make us happy?" More »

    "Orgy At The Villa": Portuguese Poolside Poontang

    When we see the hairless, lush pussy of a willing European barmaid presented to us as frankly as a UN resolution we wonder, "Why did we ever leave?" More »

    Sophie Dee's Former Breasts In "Memoirs Of A Gusher 5"

    Remember the 1997 novel and 2005 Hollywood movie "Memoirs of a Geisha"? Well, this female jackfest has nothing to do with those works. I don't know how the authors could have reconciled Sophie Dee squirting across the Japanese countryside. More »

    "Puckered Up": Remembrance of Things Assed

    "Puckered Up" is an anal game show, but no one goes home empty-assed. In fact, about the only thing that doesn't make its way up the netherest part of Amber Rayne is a $25,000 pyramid. More »

    Three Times An "Interracial MILF Orgy"

    If you are a strong black man like me, doubtless you are wondering where you were when the first two episodes of "Interracial MILF Orgy" were released. But don't trip, Boo: it's good that you just chilled until this episode. More »

    "Pure": Your Bloody Asian Valentine

    "It was a fabulous tabloid scandal in 1930's Tokyo, forcing the repressed society to confront sex and death in explicit terms," said David Aaron Clark of the true story behind his upcoming "Pure," a movie I'm very excited to see. More »

    Marital Aid Test Kitchen: Beer Goggles And Getting It In The Hiney Can

    How often have we had sex while drunk? 10 million times? And when are we going to realize that a flesh and blood partner is but a drab, complaining substitute for that beer can we can't seem to disengage from? More »

    "Cheers: An XXX Parody": And They're Always Glad You Came

    Porn is a dream factory. Where else can you get Sara Stone (Rebecca) and Monique Alexander (Diane) to appear in New Sensations' parody of "Cheers" when their characters didn't even share screen time in the original show? Also: they're naked. More »

    Marital Aid Test Kitchen: CyberGlassâ„¢ Ben Wa Pleasure Balls

    Don't give her a vacuum cleaner on your anniversary. Don't give her long underwear, a spatula, or a workout video. But if you're giving your S.O. something ostensibly sexy like Ben Wa balls, make sure you know what they're for. More »

    Boxcover Of The Week: "All About Ashlynn 3"

    Ashlynn Brooke, New Sensations' lone contract girl, is as perfect in person as she is in these pictures. This is almost unprecedented in porn, because pictures so rarely capture the urge to stuff Ashlynn Brooke into one's mouth. More »
