One of the perils of enabling comments on one’s site is the chance that someone will write a comment that is damaging to another or even libelous. Public access websites such as Wikipedia, or chat rooms such as AdultDVDTalk or XPT, or comment pages on a site like this one exist in a nebulous area [...]

If everyone from (many) conservative Christian groups to (many) Internet pornographers oppose creating a domain extension specifically for porn, though for (many) different reasons, and if the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names And Numbers (ICANN) has twice turned the proposal down, Ars Technica wonders why the proposal is being reheated yet again. The answer is [...]

“Wrong hole.” Forget .xxx, a Utah measure to curb Internet smut access would create your computer’s own porn pipe. Ralph Yarro III, who chairs the board of Utah-based UNIX software solutions provider SCO, effectively lobbied the non-binding resolution through both houses of his state’s legislature after which it was approved by Governor Jon Huntsman, Jr. [...]

I haven’t talked online about last week’s thermos incident because I didn’t want to dilute the facts of the event with speculation about it. I and a few other parties have been enjoined to be as precise as possible. That does not mean there isn’t some fantastic discussion going on. I wish I read other [...]

So I was walking to work with my laptop bag and my coffee this morning at about 11:30. Today’s job was covering a porn shoot.

Prime Time Uncensored, launching February 11 as a free adult webcast service, is, in its promotional material anyway, painting itself as an anti-KSEXRadio and anti-Playboy-on-Sirius. While I would not be telling tales out of school to say the production quality is not very high nor the programming comprehensive, it is free to watch, and includes [...]

Charles Peyton, otherwise known as gay porn institution Jeff Stryker, might ultimately be successful in closing down North Hollywood neighbor Kulak’s Woodshed after several years of city appeals, restraining orders, and name-calling exchanges with his foe. Kulak’s Woodshed is a smallish folk club located next door to Peyton/Stryker’s office, from which he markets his movies [...]

Jeff Stryker (a/k/a Charles Peyton), mostly known for his work in gay porn, has been warring with North Hollywood neighbor Paul Kulak and his small folk club, Kulak’s Woodshed, and may succeed (with help from the L.A.

In the wake of various retailers’ hesitance to purchase the DVD package Corruption due to concerns about a fisting scene contained on disc 2, Sex Z Pictures has pledged to defend stores with legal protection. “We strongly stand behind every store, distributor or website that sells our movie Corruption and we pledge that in the [...]

“The biggest mistake people make is thinking of me as Lexington Steele the performer instead of Lexington Steele the entrepreneur.” I’m sitting with Lexington Steele in his office which, as porn offices go, is the nicest one I’ve visited. It has room for a man to think. Do other adult industry moguls have such dope, [...]

LONDON—Margaret Moran, a Labour MP, has introduced legislation to Parliament that would require ISPs to declare the steps they’ve taken to block access to child pornography on their networks.

“Sometimes the most extreme thing is what is actually exciting,” he said, “because people get burned out on the rest.”
