On the same day I learned of the existence of vorephelia (“the interest/sexual fetish in which a person fantasizes about eating another person and/or creature, or being eaten”) I saw Werner Herzog’s Grizzly Man, a documentary about addle-pated enviromentalist Eric Treadwell and his girlfriend being eaten by bears. The Universe works in mysterious ways. This [...]

Roger Ebert, Porn Hound
Pornocrats love to crow about the “mainstreaming” of porn—“Ron Jeremy was on a reality show! Jenna Jameson is practically a household name!”–and in a sense they’re right. Porn is mainstream in that it’s all over the damn place, but the porn-industry’s longing for legitimacy, for a widespread acceptance of x-rated videos as cultural products or [...]
City of Ass Fukt
Ass Fukt wins the “Lick My Love Pump”/Aristocrats award for Most Unfortunate Pairing of Art to Title. Liliane Tiger doesn’t so much look like she was just about to be ass fukt on Matt Westphalen’s boxcover for VCA as she looks like she’s posing for the new Yield signs in the town I want to [...]
Happy Birthday
To photographer Rachel Worth, agent Harry Weiss, metalist Tim Case and coy mistress Missy Monroe. I tried to find a double anal cake, an Iron Maiden cake, and a New Jersey longshoreman’s cake to suit the whole party, but I settled on Fudgie the Whale (Cookie Puss was being shaved).

Are You There, Porn? It’s me, Steve Ochs
While webmaster/Bon Vivant Gram Ponante is guest-blogging on Fleshbot he asked me to take up some of the slack for him here. I’m honored. As Gram is knob-gobbling for the techno-crati I’ll hang out in this cesspool with you fucking perverts. My turn-ons: Vore, H.P. Lovecraft, and Money. Turn offs: Mean People. PS–I won’t be [...]
Love Letters to Black Size Queens
I believe A.R. Gurney has become a porn publicist. The press release for the new West Coast Productions joint, Black Size Queens, features a head-scratching conversation between one of the male talent and his size queen counterpart that I’m sure isn’t replicated as dialogue in the film. Male Talent: Is that fear in your eyes [...]
Friday reviews: great expectations
I remember Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert getting into a big discussion about Stanley Kubrick’s Full Metal Jacket when that movie came out. Siskel liked it and Ebert had a real problem because, though he would have enjoyed the movie had it been made by someone else, he was very disappointed in Kubrick’s effort. I [...]
Exxxstasy Island
Studio: NectarDirector: Eric AvalonCast: Pietra, Morgana, Suzana Scott, Claudia Bella, Priscilla Gaucha I’ve never seen anything by Eric Avalon or executive producer Marty Zion, but I have been to Brazil, where Exxxstasy Island was shot, and this film is surely a love letter to that place, with nary a tranny or underage porn-shooting prostitute in [...]
Phat Buttz Drain My Nutz! vol. 1
Studio: Ebony/Celestial Productions/Lethal HardcoreDirector: DustCast: Kandi Kream, Chyanne, Beauty, Jersey Montana When my injunction clears with that other awards show sponsored by the Recording Industry of America, I will offer Phat Buttz Drain My Nutz the honor for Title of the Year. It’s just honest. In fact, I think I’m going to change my cash [...]
UltraVixens NYC
Studio: VCADirector: Joe GallantCast: Angel Baby, Tatiana Stone, Heather Pink, Jennifer Steele, Montana Gunn, Nikki Blaze Carnivorous New York City publicity company/coven UltraVixens aims to sign clients by (ahem) squirting a mind-altering elixir into a cocktail glass. Several scenes of grungy sex with brick shithouse Manhattan tartlets (east coast porn chicks look dangerously careworn in [...]
Jay Moyes: Flames, Floggers, & Fangs
Flames, Floggers, & Fangs, a fetish art show to benefit BDSM organization Threshold, will take place at Hollywoodland Studios, 11300 Hartland Street, North Hollywood, from 6 to 11 p.m. on August 27. I talked with the young man responsible for the bespectacled, asymmetrically-breasted firewoman image, so common in the writings of Thomas Paine: Jay Moyes. [...]
A Man Called Necro (pt. 1)
One of those slick publicist types took me to dinner a week ago. She watched patiently as I emptied half-carafe after half-carafe of red wine, the dark kind, and as I lost a set of tongs in the fondue pot – twice. When the bill came, she took the real leather folderette and slipped in [...]
New Pirates cover released
Digital Playground has updated its boxcover for the three-disc Collector’s Edition of a movie that has yet to be released. I’m assuming that there will be a less-expensive single-disc version for the non-collector after the September 12 premiere at the Egyptian Theatre, possibly with Kandi Kream stepping in for Jesse Jane and, of course, me [...]
The first rule of Asian Mouth Club 3
…is You do not talk about Asian Mouth Club 3 until it hits shelves and your favorite VOD player in late September. That is why we will, instead, talk about AMC3 director David Aaron Clark and Lurk Ford. “I think that between your mordant flirtations/exploitations of on the one hand poor, doomed lunatic shikse Heidi [...]
My mother’s people were ashamed of me
When I sell out and write my mainstream tell-all book about the porn world (hint: there is no birth certificate bearing the name Lisa Sparxxx or Courteney Cummz), one of my chapters will concern the adult industry’s concept of Hell. In VCA’s Cum Greed (you may have heard the hit single on AM radio, sung [...]
Get fucked for Legend
Legend Video, distributor of Nicole Moore’s MILF Money, among other things, is looking for female contract stars. I usually avoid printing press releases verbatim (except when I was compelled to by various trade magazine employers or if the release in question was penned by Steve Banan), but I think it’s worth making an exception here [...]
The Outsiders
Folks who don’t spend much time reading porn message boards will be pleased to know that in every thread, whether the subject is anal cream pies or bukkakes (the range isn’t very great on porn message boards), there is at least one post that goes like this: “Sudenly anybody who picks up a camera is [...]
How much for a lunch with a happy ending?
I remember the heady thrill of going to my first porn set, Whoriental Sex Academy 4, and now Defiance Films and Taylor Rain want to give that experience to two lucky people. Rain, Defiance, and Mallcom will grant a trip to a Rain-directed porn set to the lucky winners of either the ebay auction linked [...]
Self-fulfilling prophecy
One of the things Gen Padova suggests in Revenge of the Butt’Er Face to keep her boyfriend and continue paying his bills is “I’ll even fuck Dave Pounder.” Could it be because of slights like this that Pounder is hanging it up and moving to Indiana? Pounder has always seemed as earnest and articulate as [...]
