I’m convinced that the future of porn most reliably rests in first-person adventures like Dani Daniels’ “Dare,” in which the movie is all about the personality of its star.
I wanted “Batgirl XXX” to be more Extreme Associates and less Extreme Comixxx
In an attempt to please her inappropriately sexualized father, a woman is initiated into a dangerous business while in a questionable state of mind by two masked men who have sex with her. Perhaps “Batgirl XXX” is a metaphor for porn in general.

Gabe And Karla And Will And Mindy: “Shared Wives”

“Stripper Quotes”: Boobie-loving best buddies blog a book
If their lives were a buddy movie, it would have a triple-X rating.

XRCO 2012: An Awards Show for the Ages

John Holmes tells his own story in “Porn King”
No book has done more to complicate the legacy of the late John Holmes—to his favor—than “Porn King,” his fascinating work of semi-autobiography re-released by his widow, Laurie Holmes.
