This Is What A Feminist (Porn) Looks Like

Well, the porn industry must be doing something right, because there are a record number of nominations for this year's Feminist Porn Awards. (Alternately, we suppose that feminists could be getting pornier—we're happy either way). More »

2009 XBIZ Awards Nominations Announced

The AVN Awards may be big, and grand, and attention getting, but they're hardly the only adult industry awards out there. If the AVN Awards are the porn world's Oscars, the XBIZ Awards might be seen as the porn world's Golden Globes, if the Golden Globes were much less prestigious and had a lot more, um, "globes." While everyone and their mother crows about the thousand AVN Award nominations that they've received, XBIZ has quietly released its own nominations, highlighting many performers unsung by AVN—or at least our newfound Crush Object, Ivy Black, who garnered a nod for her work as a web starlet.

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! (rollingstone.com, via avn.com; thumbnail via Ask Jolene)

Lucy Pinder's #1!

The all-time #1 Page 3 Girl, that is (at least according to a Daily Star reader poll). Though she had some stiff competition (we hear Keeley Hazell demanded a recount), it's not hard to see why Lucy came out on top. (And if you're still not sure what's so great about our girl Lucy, well, we invite you to take a stroll down memory lane). More »

Turns out the We-Vibe isn't just a vibe for you and for me (or at least you and your partner). It's also the Most Innovative Product of 2008—at least according to the folks at Venus Berlin. Now if the could just make it in a more innovative color... (xbiz.com)

2008 Sexies Honor The, Er, Sexy

We're all used to coming across a fair amount of sex negative journalism in mainstream media—which makes this list of winners from this year's Sexies all the more deserving. We're especially excited to see that New York Times Magazine article on Kink.com we liked so much honored with a prize—though everyone who entered is still a winner in our book. Keep fighting the good fight, people! (sexies.org; also seen at aetoday.com)

Awards in Los Angeles—and remember that if you're not satisfied with the fact that Jenna Haze took home the trophy for Favorite Anal Starlet, you have only yourself to blame. But then, why wouldn't you be satisfied? (xbiz.com)

Porn Awards: This Time They're Urban

The Urban Spice Awards nominations are now open, celebrating "all aspects of urban erotica." While this debut event, to be hosted by the deliciously asstastic Olivia O'Lovely, shies away from a "Best White Performer" award, it does offer a "Freakiest" trophy—which is probably the best gauge of a performer's true merits as any we've heard of. The awards will be distributed in June in Studio City, and the dozens of nominees include Jada Fire, Candace Von, Luscious Lopez, Marie Luv, and Sasha Grey. Wait a minute ... Sasha Grey? More »
