If you’re not familiar with the national holiday of people who live and love by the leafy green, today is 4/20 which is the police code for busting a pothead. Now you can fondly remember all those times you had sex with that one ex that never paid for dinners and tried to convince you his peen was a bong: Sex Advice From Pot Growers and 15 Stories About Dating Potheads (Nerve.com) Puppies are out. Sorry, pupophiles. Though I love how w...

If you’re tired of me being agitated about the proposed .XXX domain extension, then you can skip this post (and know that when the ICANN comment period is over this month I will stop bugging you to use this text to email ICANN to tell them that .XXX = OMGWTFBBQ). But I do want to say a big *thank you* to the people who have sent in emails with me! That said, I got a ping last night from the people who set up the nifty website Dot-XXX Oppos...

When John Stagliano's obscenity case was thrown out of court, it wasn't just a victory for Buttman and Evil Angel: it was a victory for all of America. And not just because of that whole free speech thing. More »

John Stagliano has been acquitted. Rejoice! More »

The Stagliano (Evil Angel) obscenity trial is happening right now. The prosecution rests tomorrow (friday) morning and it’s looking like the jury will have the case by monday. Everyone, everyone in law, sex, media freedom and free speech is glued to their respective news feeds to see what will happen. It is the first adult (pornographic) obscenity trial to hit Washington D.C.’s District Court in over 20 years. The jury must decide if...

Being deeply entrenched in the adult entertainment industry has its advantages—like insider galleries from parties & award shows you can't get anywhere else. Not like this anyway. Naturally, we escorted Stoya dearest to the 2009 XBIZ Awards on Thursday, because we are super cool and that's how we roll. Adam & Eve contract stars Kayden Kross & Bree Olson hosted the event, which was a blast by all accounts. We're still recovering from all the...

Image from this very adorable, explicit bend over boyfriend gallery I’ve been belaboring that it’s the very first official International Fetish Day (en.wikipedia.org) all day with each post — hooray! Of course, “fetish” means a lot of things to a lot of people. It can simply be rimming, or it can be extreme medical or human animal play. Let me point you to: * My podcast, Open Source Sex #16 (MP3), where I give my twi...

Image by Option8. Carol Queen just sent me this story in the Guardian UK Porn bill for couple who can’t download, which I’d been looking at with a furrowed brow for the past day or so trying to put all the pieces together. And it clicked. You’ll see in the URL string that it says “porn bill mistake” but I think there’s likely something much more malfeasant than a mistake behind the P-2-P (peer to peer file shar...

Years ago, a certain Fleshbot contributor used to be married to a certain pornstar-turned-director (hey, don't hate the player, hate the game). Walking into the Stephen Hicks studio for one of his wife's shoots, this writer may have met a really cool pervert photographer with serious aspirations (for the purposes of this post, we'll call him Jonni Darkko). Snapping away at record speeds, the talented young Darkko begged to escape the porno equiva...

newVideoPlayer("/9to5movie_fleshbot.flv", 506, 304,""); As disappointed as we were to learn that current Fleshbot Extreme Pornstar Showdown contestants Sasha Grey and Belladonna are not starring in a hardcore remake of the of the 1980s Lily Tomlin/Dolly Parton/Jane Fonda workplace comedy classic, we're still intrigued by the trailer for this "behind the scene" porn documentary. Tes, we know it's been done before—but this one looks well sho...

The back-and-forth legal maneuvering between our government and our nation's pornographers may not get you hot, even if it gets you bothered—it even makes our eyes glaze over sometimes. But it is occasionally instructive to keep tabs on who is being put in jail with your tax dollars. It's also hard to have a First Amendment debate over a title like "Storm Squirters 2: Target Practice" without giggling, but it helps that the Supreme Court ha...

Since you were probably too busy last week driving across various state lines to procure semi-legal fireworks, you might have missed the rest of John Stagliano's debate with First Amendment scholar Barry McDonald. (Spoiler alert: They don't agree!) It's interesting and informative, but there's not enough vicious name calling and ad hominem attacks for our cable news channel tastes. (latimes.com)

Whether you want to donate to the Evil Angel legal defense fund or spend 10 glorious, disturbing, jaw-dropping, delightful, and carnivorous hours with the likes of Belladonna, Sasha Grey, Sandra Romain, Eva Angelina, and Tricia Devereaux (or, I imagine, both), you will love "Defend Our Porn." In April, 2008 Evil Angel founder and director John Stagliano was indicted on obscenity charges in the type of case that has become familiar to First Amendm...
