Today in Porn Valley

Gang-Hangar at the XBiz Awards

From now on I want all my parties to be hangar-based

Gram Is There

AVN & XBiz divide January, profits

I’m not saying that’s bad. I’m saying that is what it is. Neither publication can claim objectivity, but when’s the last time you objectively jerked off?

MontagFoto 12.5.11—Memphis Monroe’s Choky Christmas

If you’re like me, nothing evokes the holidays better than the slow application of pressure to the windpipe during sex.

Gram Ponante shocker: “Post-natal abortions are not sexy”

“As long as they’re your own embryos you’ve been killing,” Ponante says, “I’ll still photograph you naked.”

Does being a cad affect the ability to lead?

When he suggested she terminate her pregnancy, she heard “Terminator Pregnancy” and was like: Awesome.

Nate Glass: The Last Man Working in Porn

“Pornhub and Brazzers have done more damage to the porn industry than Traci Lords, John Ashcroft, and Andrea Dworkin combined,” says Nate Glass of Take Down Piracy. “These people are assholes and need to be stopped.”

Pornollaneous 10.21.10: Penthouse, Playboy, Hustler

Like the way the Gideons distribute Bibles to hotel rooms, I imagine there is a service that places waterlogged, sticky, and dog-eared gentlemen’s magazines in the woods behind schools.

Pornollaneous 8.19.10

“…it would sound exactly like the ravings of a failed musician/actor from Maryland who somehow managed to even flunk out of porn a few years ago.”

Someone else’s obscenity: John Stagliano

The only thing obscene in the Stagliano indictment is the time and money the government is wasting harassing innocent people.

Best of 2009: Dorking out with your dork out to the RealTouch

Larry Flynt, the great man has admitted, lost his virginity to a chicken. I keep that in mind when I review sex toys that at first seem improbable.

Porn Valley signage: Which is real?

Following yesterday’s shocking discovery that AVN had Photoshopped (do I still need to capitalize that?) its logo onto a building owned by someone else for a press announcement, I wondered how many other Porn Valley institutions engaged in sign-anigans. Was crosstown rival XBiz misrepresenting its status at 4929 Wilshire Boulevard? (Like Ladyhawke, the XBiz building [...]

Hustler’s Inferno

I do not think they will giggle and squeal to me – T.S. Eliot

"So I says to the guy, I says:"

This emancipated gimp was one of the many delights offered to visitors of Harry Mohney’s Erotic Heritage Museum. I rarely venture of the Strip while in Vegas (I am frightened by the natives and their rites), but this space is a delight for any consumer or scholar of sex culture. Clearly a labor of love, [...]

2008 in Review: Workplace of the Year

Kink.com Larry Flynt makes his employees pay for parking. Digital Playground has never washed the Tera couch. If you work at Vivid, you have to make awkward, shoe-gazing conversation with Eon McKai by the lunch truck. GawkerMedia did away with its bonus program so I’m not getting a Gizmodo-branded hoodie for writing Fleshbot’s most-read story [...]

John Holmes book also measured in inches

John Holmes single-schlongedly embodied the American narrative of success, downfall, and redemption in its porn context, which means something different from any other context. And his story as told in a new book by Jennifer Sugar and Jill Nelson, John Holmes, a Life Measured in Inches, unfolds that story as comprehensibly as possible. I say [...]

A Decade of wholesome Hustler Hollywood

“HUSTLER Hollywood has saved more marriages than Billy Graham,” said Larry Flynt, commenting on tonight’s tenth anniversary of his flagship store on Sunset Blvd. The festivities begin at 7 p.m. with appearances by Riley Evans (pictured, with cameltoe) and Daisy Marie, who grace Hustler covers in 2009. It was Flynt’s late wife, Althea, who said [...]

Larry Flynt: The Right To Be Left Alone: "Which is the greater obscenity – war or pornography?"

Larry Flynt: The Right to Be Left Alone, a 2007 documentary by director Joan Brooks-Marks, is a comprehensive account of the First Amendment Patriot side of the Hustler founder and is, in that way, a compelling look at the person who has arguably done the most to frame pornography (and often reckless humiliation in the [...]

Adultcon Awards Saturday

The first annual Adultcon Awards will take place on Saturday at Sunset Strip’s Key Club, to be followed by a party there. Presenting at the ceremony will be Kayden Kross, Renae Cruz, Ashlynn Brooke, Nick Manning, Evan Stone, Jack Lawrence, Tommy Gunn, Derek Hay, and Marcus London. The show is designed to last an hour.

Don’t leave Larry Alone

Perhaps the adult industry’s most passionate advocate is Larry Flynt. Alone he seems to have the credibility to persuasively argue that viewing dirtpipe milkshakes is our right. Each of the porn world’s established or ascendent organizations has tripped over itself to bring Flynt out to deliver his winning stump speech, the money shot being “The [...]
