The turkey (or, in Lux's case, vegan celebration roast) is in the oven, the mashed potatoes are almost done...and it's time to sit back, relax, and get ready to express some gratitude. We here at Fleshbot have a lot of things to be thankful for—and on this day of gratitude, we'd like to share those things with you.
Lux is thankful for...
Daisy Lowe: Though I don't really have a specific type, and find a wide range of women to be incredibly alluring, if I could only look at one naked woman for the rest of my life, Daisy Lowe is probably the one I'd pick. I mean, have you seen her naked?
Premium cable: It used to be that there were one or two shows on HBO or Showtime that had reliable nudity. Now it seems like every other program (especially the Sunday night ones!) is wall to wall flesh. If you ask me, it's a great time for TV...especially since I hear most of these shows have stuff like good writing and plots, too.
JimmyJane: I used to think that JimmyJane's products were more style than substance. Then they released the Pleasure to the People line, and suddenly I was a JimmyJane evangelist. There are lots of great toys out there, made by lots of great companies—but if you're a girl who's only got room in her life for one single vibrator, I highly recommend picking up a Form 2 or Form 3.
Stoya and Buck Angel:Not only are they two of the most awesome, amazing, and just plain fun people in the adult industry, they also took off their clothes in front of me and let Ellen Stagg take pictures. Hey, the way to my heart is through full frontal nudity, okay?
The Fleshbot Awards: Okay, so as executive producer of this event I'm a little biased. But seriously: is there any other party that brings together the likes of Alan Cumming, Chyna, Casey Spooner, Belladonna, Stoya, and Patricia Field and unites them all in the cause of celebrating sexy? I think not. Here's to many more years of sexy celebrations. (Oh, and I would be remiss if I did not thank the fabulous sponsors who made this event possible: Fleshlight, Pink Visual, JimmyJane, and Billy Boy condoms, you've all earned my eternal love and devotion.)
Ottimo is thankful for...
Evil Angel: for always being 100% unabashedly hardcore, and willing to let Bobbi Starr call the shots.
SINsual Shot: This strange little aphrodisiac drink was delightfully fun to test, and it totally redeemed horny goat weed in my eyes. Then again, I might need to run more trials to be sure...
Lee Roy Myers, Brian Bangs, and Spock Buckton: You guys, "Man Vs. Pussy" came out in June and I'm still reminiscing about that movie. If I could, I would teach a university course solely about this film and all the kids taking Tolstoy and Dostoevsky classes would be like, "Damn, that source material looks absurdly epic."
Kathleen Robertson: Daaaaaaaamn, girl.
My Fleshbot compatriots: I love you all dearly. You are my main source of giggles and I learn so much from you everyday.
Brian is thankful for...
Elbow Grease: This is just the best damn lube in the whole world for having "gentleman's time." You don't need to reapply and it just makes everything feel silky and wonderful.
The Continued Relevance of Francois Sagat: He's starring in porn, he's art directing porn, he's the subject of magazine articles and museum exhibits and documentaries. If gay porn gets a cross-over star, I'm so glad it's him.
Webcams Automatically Installed in Computers: Without these, X-Tube wouldn't have nearly as many hot gays beating off on the internet.
Chest Hair: Just 'cause.
Orgy Scenes: I'm glad that some of the big porn companies are still paying five or six or seven or nine or fifteen stars at a time to suck and fuck each other into oblivion. Sure, they're extravagant, but if this isn't what our Puritan forefathers were sailing on the Mayflower for, then I don't know what is.
Sailor is thankful for...
Pornified sex education: From Tristan Taormino to Carol Queen to jessica drake, educational porn is hotter (and more well-informed) than it's ever been, and I'm so grateful and turned on for it.
The growing demand for hot men with big cocks: Porn has never been so great for the straight girl, with James Deen leading a pack of gorgeous guys who are more than just stunt genitals. Xander Corvus, Keni Styles, Sean Michaels, Wolf Hudson, and Anthony Rosano are just a few of the male performers that made this year a fun one for healthily sexual heterosexual women.
Forever and always, Nica Noelle: If I cheerlead her any more than I have already, I will probably need to make myself some kind of uniform.
Pope Alexander VI, a.k.a. Rodrigo Borgia: His existence and dastardly deeds during his lifetime have led to not one, but two incredibly sexy shows populated by gorgeous naked women and Renaissance-style violence. In that vein, I'm grateful for the whole Borgia clan, for their sexual antics and lack of traditional morals.
International editions of Playboy: because they're classy, sassy, and make up for everything we feel is missing from their American counterpart.
Florabel is thankful for...
The Butterfly Kiss Waterproof Vibrator: I received this toy as part of a holiday gift pack ("Under the Mistletoe") from Good Vibes last year, and it is truly a gift that keeps on giving and giving — and for which I am truly thankful. It hits all the right places and does so in a quick, easy, and effective manner. Plus it's incredibly inexpensive as far as vibrators go! I'm thankful that this vibrator exists and that there's one right underneath my bed!
Little Caprice: Whether she's showing some beautiful skin for X-Art, Sapphic Erotica, or Hegre-Art, it seems like nobody can get enough Caprice. I'm thankful she's so generous with, well, herself, and always seems to be giving us Caprice-ophiles something new and exciting to take in.
A Dangerous Method: Now, I haven't gotten to see the film (it just came out yesterday, gimme a break!) so can't speak on plot or cinematography and such, but anything that allows us to catch a glimpse of Keira Knightley's boobies, especially when coupled with a bonus sexy spanking, is a thing for which I thank my lucky stars.
Coco: What's not to love about a celebrity wife (that has 10+ years of marriage under her belt) with a body that's always begging to bust out of whatever pesky article of clothing is trying to keep it hidden? From many a nipple slip, to full-out Titty Tuesdays on Twitter to constant cameltoe, Coco is a fine lady that makes Ice-T a very lucky man. I'm just thankful that she doesn't mind sharing!
James Deen's Twitter: Yes, this was on my list last year... But if anything, since then I've grown only more thankful for these little sunbeams of tweets that ever so often grace a feed dominated with news, politics, and various other internet-isms. Because just when I think I can't stand to read another snippet on Rick Perry, something like "I officially banged @kellydivine in the butt so hard she pissed herself :-)" comes along, and really serves to brighten things up a lot. So thank you, James, and thank you Fleshbotters for appreciating the things we do.
