The Engooping Of Sasha Grey

Lux Alptraum — Mon, 22 Dec 2008 17:30:01 EST

Two months ago we reported that Sasha Grey had signed with Doc Johnson to launch her own signature line of sex toys. Now, thanks to Sasha's MySpace, we've gotten a glimpse of what lies ahead.

It seems Sasha has gone for the works, with all three orifices getting engooped. Just imagine, one day you—yes, you—will be able to penetrate (the cyberskin replica of) Sasha Grey's mouth, pussy, and ass! Isn't the future awesome?

Porn Valley's "No Lists": Who's Not Doing Who

Jonnobot — Mon, 18 Aug 2008 11:20:04 EDT

We already know about the list of things pornstars will and won't do; now thrill to a behind-the-scenes report about the list of who pornstars will and won't do*. Though we don't get to see the actual lists, apparently persuing off-camera relationships and having too big a dick are among the most common reasons male talent find themselves on the No List for certain of their female colleagues. But if you're a dolphin and the performer happens to be Roxy DeVille, you have nothing to worry about. (thenaughtyamerican.com)

. . .

*Update Although we're told it was "factually accurate", we've also learned that The Naughty American was told to take the article offline—even if it didn't mention any names on various stars' "No Lists" besides the hugely hung Lee Stone (too big) and the ubiquitous Ron Jeremy (too gemütlich, apparently). Which of course makes us even more curious about these No Lists and why someone somewhere got bent out of shape enough to make The Naughty American dispublish the piece. (Not to mention more curious about why Roxy DeVille likes dolphins so much.) Anyone with further details or thoughts is invited to comment below or send 'em our way.

Tera Doesn't Seem To Love Jenna

Jonnobot — Wed, 06 Aug 2008 14:55:40 EDT

We really don't like to gossip or anything, but are we the only ones who sense a wee bit of bad blood between porn queens Tera Patrick and Jenna Jameson in Tera's new interview in BlackBook? (Maybe it has something to do with Tera making remarks about Jenna being "a lot older" and having "more of a porn look" than she does, though she still wishes her "all the best", of course.) We know Jenna's retired and all, but surely a naked oil fight would be the best way of solving whatever difference they might have between them? Just a thought! (blackbookmag.com)

Pornstars Take Over Twitter (Kinda!)

Lux Alptraum — Tue, 15 Jul 2008 12:20:33 EDT

It had to happen eventually: the porn stars have found Twitter. Or at least two have (does that make it a trend?). Ashley Steel (who, it turns out, has been tweeting away for several months now) and Twitter newcomer Dana DeArmond (who was last spotted eating a cheeseburger) post regular updates about their diets, party plans, and physical ailments. Yes, it's true: porn stars are just as boring as the rest of us! (twitter.com; thanks Rachel!)

Saying Goodbye To All That: When Pornstars Quit The Business

Lux Alptraum — Thu, 10 Jul 2008 13:55:09 EDT

The porn business is a notoriously transient industry, with performers coming and going all the time (even if we're most used to seeing them coming). Most of those exits are quiet, like the anonymous babelog model who slips back into civilian life after a handful of shoots. But there are some gals who like to leave a little more memorably. After the jump, a look back at some of our favorite—or at least best remembered—porn star exits. After all, isn't it always better to go out with a bang instead of a whimper?

The Semi-Retirement: When some girls quit the business, they just quit one part of it. Take Lexi Bardot, for instance, who may have left Porn Valley but who still creates online content. Wich is something we're extremely grateful for.

The (Very) Brief Exit: We were heartbroken when Belladonna announced that she was going to be retiring from the hardcore life due to an STD scare Thankfully, we weren't heartbroken for very long: less than a month after that announcement, she was back in the saddle again, which is exactly where we like to see her.

The Higher Calling: When Jesus calls, porn stars answer — at least when those porn stars are Crissy Moran and Erica Campbell, who left the jizz biz for the Jesus biz. We tried telling them that looking at them naked was a different but equally valid religious experience, but they chose to take a different path anyway.

The Very Public Exit: Who could ever forget Jenna Jameson? And who could forget her announcing, in the thick of the 2008 AVN Awards, that she "would never spread [her] legs for this industry again"? Hey, if you're going to quit porn, you might as well do it in front of a live audience comprised of a lot of the people who made you a star in the first place.

When The Past Comes Calling: Sometimes, even webcam girls get the blues (and the urge to quit): Tiffany Teen was driven to quit the life of a barely legal webcam girl after pictures from her high school yearbook were posted online. Sometimes, the past should stay the past (especially when it scares pretty girls away from being naked.)

Committing Suicide: With all the drama that's gone on at alt megasite SuicideGirls, it's not surprising that they've inspired more than a few creative (and dramatic) exits, including the one time near thirty models quit at once. For sheer style, though, we'd like to single out Flux, who managed to quit with a pretty piece of prose that tugged at our heartstrings. And let's not forget Dia while we're at it.

So did we miss anyone? Let us know your favorite porn star exits in the comments.

Meet Jenna Taylia (No, Really)

Gram Ponante — Wed, 02 Jul 2008 16:55:57 EDT

Surely someone had to have come up with this name before. But its current owner, featured in a movie called "Aussie Fuckfest: Gold Coast," was the subject of one of those vaguely sorrowful "Look at what's become of us!" stories in an Australian publication last year during the movie's filming. We take a look at the disconnect between porn and its coverage after the gap.

In an article titled "Naked Ambition" published a year ago in Australia's The Age, the woman calling herself Jenna Taylia, who in the movie appears fun-loving and devil-may-care, comes off as self-aware, sadder but wiser. (As you know, any first article about porn or stripping is required by law to be called "Naked Ambition.")

Here Taylia talks about her parents:

"They're pretty conservative," Jenna coughs, with a waft of cigarette smoke and a roll of her eyes. "They have very old-fashioned values, which is good for some people, but I have definitely rebelled against it. I was born to do porn."

She offers the last line, after a second or two of silence, with an affected Californian twang that marks her as someone self-aware enough to know that, really, she was not born to do this at all.

In the movie, Taylia cavorts around the country with Xena Star and, though Star looks the pornier of the two, it is Taylia who appears more randy.

The women learn that there is to be a party at which men will be present, and each reveals her particular methodology.

"What do you want to do with these boys?" they are asked.

Jenna: "Slap them around and send them home."

Xena: "Get kinky with them."

Jenna: "Make them feel this big," then "Guys cannot be nice and fuck well."

"I have never thought of porn as a bad thing," Jenna says.

For today, at least, it's an escape from her daily working life as a disability caregiver.

"I wipe people's arses and get paid shit money — so now I do porn on the side." Her hands motion with a manic energy before settling to cradle her head. "I want to just do this one movie and see where things go from there. I don't want to be famous for this, because then people would never care about anything else I might be able to do. But at the same time, I am not doing a whole lot of other stuff at the moment."

The movie itself is notable for its innocent, travelogue nature (though the appearance of a pattern bald dude with a ponytail adds the needed element of creepiness), but the article is rife with sadness.

What Will Porn Stars Do (And Not Do)?

Lux Alptraum — Wed, 11 Jun 2008 12:30:31 EDT

Those wacky porn stars... is there anything they won't do? Well yes, actually. Though some adult performers are up for anything, others shy away from things like double anal or even interracial scenes (to say nothing of the more hardcore dirtpipe milkshake). But of the many things that make up the standard porn arsenal, which acts are commonplace and which are, uh, harder to come by? Based on the listings on one adult talent agency's website, an enterprising blogger has done a bit of research ... and the answers may surprise you. Out of just over 900 porn stars, how many would participate in a solo shoot? Boy/girl? Double vaginal? Actual acting? Answers (with some helpful photo illustrations) after the jump.

. . .

Out of 900 porn stars, the following numbers would do the things listed below:

Solo: 875

Girl/Girl: 804

Boy/Girl: 770

Boy/Boy/Girl: 571

Fetish: 569

Blowjob: 542

Softcore: 393

Interracial: 375

Boy/Girl/Girl: 358

Swallow: 318

Toys: 291

Anal: 242

Girl/Girl/Anal: 233

Bondage: 220

Handjob: 174

Double Penetration: 151

Creampie: 146

Orgy: 137

Gangbang: 125

Blowbang: 80

Squirting: 75

Smokes: 62

Foot Job: 55

ATM: 46

Bukkake: 36

Double Vaginal: 28

Boy/Boy/Girl/Anal: 12

Boy/Girl/Girl/Anal: 12

Acting: 11

Double Anal: 4

Kimberly Kane Komes Klean

Jonnobot — Wed, 23 Apr 2008 12:10:49 EDT

Usually when we get our paws on a new porn DVD here at Fleshbot Central we don't do much by way of preparation when it comes time to review it aside from making sure the fast forward button is in working order on our remote and that we have a supply of Handi Wipes at the ready just in case we ... uh, spill our caipirinhas while we're watching it. But when the delightful Kimberly Kane sent us a copy of her new Vivid Alt joint "Morphine" this week, it arrived with a suggestion that we check out this video clip first to better understand her reasons for making it. And now that we've heard Kimberly tell us all about her days working in a strip mall strip club-cum-quickie bordello ... well, we're more intrigued about "Morphine" than ever. (We also can't wait to see more of her flashing her panties at us. Pour yourself a caipirinha and join us after the jump so we can watch that clip together, won't you?)

Christian Sings The Blues (And Gets To Bang Lots Of Hot Porn Chicks)

Jonnobot — Mon, 18 Feb 2008 11:29:22 EST

Depending what flavor of porn you're more familiar with, you may know Christian under his previous incarnation as Maxx Diesel, former exclusive for Falcon Studios: his career in the adult industry started after he emailed directrix Chi Chi LaRue, who (unsurprisingly) managed to talk him into doing gay porn. That was years ago, and the self-admittedly heterosexual Christian — who has since made a name for himself as one of straight porn's most sought-after leading men in productions for Digital Playground and Tristan Taormino, among many others— says he doesn't regret any of it , even if he still loses scenes on a regular basis because some silly girl is too squeamish to perform with him. "I mean, what do they think? That they're going to get cooties?" he asks on his blog, Christian Sings The Blues. He also talks about shopping at Target with Lexi Belle and being the third wheel on a date with Brett Brando and Penny Flame at the Hamburger Hamlet. His observations of life as a male performer are a rare glimpse into wjat really goes on in Porn Valley ... and what it's really like being Christian. - JC

Popshots Of The Week: Jenny Hendrix 2.0

Gram Ponante — Thu, 13 Dec 2007 19:42:29 EST

It seems like every time I am instrumental in bringing someone to the public's attention, she goes off and gets new breasts: Betty Ford, Connie Sellecca, and now Jenny Hendrix. No, Jenny isn't dead; she's just getting her boobs done next week. Here is a picture from 2005. Join us after the gap for a Jenny picture taken this week, as well as photos of other people who have breasts.

While her breasts were not the focus on the set of "Azz Fest 6" this week, she did us the favor of showing them anyway. Here she and Mr. Pete wonder what an "azz" is, anyway.

Monique Alexander and Samantha Ryan react differently to the prospect of Fleshbot readers seeing them naked. I think Ryan has the right idea, though we'd let Alexander take a shot at convincing us, too.

We got a passel of photos from amateur porn shoots in Peru this week (all models are over 18) and were fascinated with this woman's take on the schoolgirl motif. Who ever heard of a black top on a schoolgirl? We don't know her name, but we have a crush on her. Here she is naked. We knew you'd appreciate it.

Meet Mariah Milano (Again)

Fleshbot — Wed, 19 Sep 2007 15:54:58 EDT

F. Scott Fitzgerald (a writer who we've never had occasion to reference on Fleshbot until this very moment) famously said that there are no second acts in American lives. But try telling that to the indefatigable Mariah Milano, who is currently embarking on the third phase of her career in the adult industry: after making her porn debut at the age of eighteen way back in the last millenium, she retired only to return to the interweb a few years later as proprietress of her own popular online abode and webcam showcase ... and now she's back in front of the big(ger) budget cameras again, having shot scenes for major adult studios like Adam and Eve, Digital Playground, and Club Jenna since returning to the Porn Valley fold earlier this year. Throughout it all, she's still keeping busy overseeing over 20 websites that bear her imprint (and other parts), a number she hopes to increase to 200 before too long. We can only hope our own porn careers remain as long and fruitful—and that we keep on looking as good as she does while we're doing it.

Deeper Inside Ashley Blue Than You Ever Thought Possible

Fleshbot — Tue, 18 Sep 2007 13:31:46 EDT

We always knew the delightful Ashley Blue was one of the nastiest gals in porn, but who knew she was one of the adult industry's most entertaining bloggers as well? While the online journals of many her colleagues tend to focus on things like on-the-set reports and press releases about upcoming strip club appearances, Ashley takes a rather more down-to-earth approach towards expressing what the life of a porn star is really like and shares some very intimate photographic moments featuring her pets and her husband (superstar erotic photographer Dave Naz). Oh, and because she's Ashley Blue, there's also the occasional shot of her blowing semen bubbles and closeups of her butthole. Hey, she doesn't call herself an attention whore for nothing, you know.
