Fleshbot Reader Contest: Rebranding Raging Stallion's "The 4th Floor"

"Swallow With Pride": Michael Lucas Sucks It Up

Remember the olden days when you had to settle for the occasional porn star sighting on cheesy reality shows or MTV or cheesy MTV reality shows? Suddenly, HGTV is more than just about flipping houses and designing on dimes: first we hear that one of its former hosts is starting his own naked goth girl site, and now our intrepid colleagues at Gay Porn Blog have revealed that current "Design Star" contestant and Le Corbusier fan Michael Verdugo received some valuable hardware and still life training appearing as "Jeremy Wess" in movies like "Rope Rituals" for legendary bondage producer Tom "Ropes" McGurk.

"French Bottom Boys" Sparks International Booty Showdown

We often think of Hot House as we do some of our well-meaning but clueless relatives: we love them even if they ship their screener DVDs to us in oversized, wasteful packaging that won't even fit through our stretched-out mail hole. And like our Aunt Barbara (as well as a lot of porn companies, to be fair), Hot House also sometimes does things that make little sense to anyone but themselves—for example, the box cover for the soon-to-be-released "Paging Dr. Finger".

Hello, porn studio people? Haven't you been paying attention to us? What did we say just a few days ago? Wasn't it something about backing off the workplace clichés? And yet, what do you keep giving us? That's right: more workplace clichés! (And not the clever kind our readers have been coming up with either!)

Not to point fingers—but we're looking at you, Man's Art, with your just-released "Boys @ Work". Not only could you not be bothered to type out "at", but you substituted an asperand for it. In days of yore—say, 1997—that might've been a mildly clever title if your film were about hot web designers and the mischief they get up to after hours, when all that Jolt cola finally hits their systems and they take off their clothes and start coding like horned up jackrabbits. But now it just feels lazy.

"Workin' Hard", Or Hardly Working?

When a friend drops by Fleshbot Central unexpectedly and we find ourselves having to tell them that that we're unable to take a break to go grab a Frappuccino because we're hard at work, we usually get one of four responses:

1. "I thought that was just a wrench in your pocket! Har!"
2. "I thought you were just happy to see me! Har!"
3. A quick grope, followed by "Doesn't seem that hard! Har!"
4. A breathy "Well, let me see what I can do to ease your workload ..." as they drop to their knees behind our sleek mahogany desks.

(We're just kidding about #4. We don't have desks.)

Here at Foxbase Fleshbot, we live on the edge. We talk to strangers. We take their candy. And we drink coffee all day long. You heard us: all day long. We are very edgy, indeed.

It should come as no surprise then, that we take our technological innovations really seriously. And although we were super-psyched to have Steve Jobs seduce us with his iPhone porn over yesterday's lunch (= two pints of panacotta gelato and more damn coffee, thank you), we were somewhat distracted by a new "fully interactive" video from Brazilian website outfit Magnus Muscle entitled "Total Control: Henry Silva", featuring what we believe to be Mr. Silva's debut DVD performance.
