[interview] Swinging with Siri

So many porn performers define themselves by how they are different from the general population—bigger, bustier, tinier, younger, crazier. Today I talk with the beautiful and intriguing Siri, who tops from the middle.

Try not to regret those “Seven Minutes”

Gram compares two versions of “Seven Minutes in Heaven” on a personal voyage of discovery

I kept expecting Gordon Lightfoot to show up and accept an award for “The Anal Wreckage of Edmund Fitzgerald by Jiz Lee Wearing a Strap-on.”

What is Alt again? Visiting the “Alt to the ALT” art exhibit

Irrespective of what is or isn’t Alt, still photography is able to capture things film often can’t, especially with porn’s limited budgets.

“Seven Minutes in Heaven 3″: What Would Steve Miller Do?

  • Is “Mother In-Law” the New MILF? May 15, 2013
    Maybe it's "okay," but I don't believe that Eva Karera is this guy's mother in-law. He's not wearing a wedding ring, and Karera refers to the unseen woman as her daughter, not his wife, or even the more familiar "Becky." See? The Social Contract has been broken already. […]
