Not to worry, though, we didn’t forget about our awesome readers!  We wanted to make sure you had something nice and dirty to help you celebrate the 4th in style.

We found you a picture of a firework cake that we think totally takes the pervy cake (sorry for the pun, I just HAD to)!

Why yes, that looks EXACTLY like a firework…

Oh, Cake Wrecks, I love you so.

Happy 4th of July!!  We hope you are having a blast!

This time it’s fierce femmes Stacey Staxxx and Skye hanging out in the pad, ready to get it on.  Before getting to anything super dirty, the pair get into a full out tickle fest, with Skye on the receiving end of Stacey’s wiggly fingers.

It’s pretty intense to watch, even though they don’t go too crazy with it – tickling makes me so squirmy!  Apparently it makes Skye pretty squirmy as well and she wriggles all over the bed, begging for Stacey to stop (though I am sure this was part of the negotiation and that they probably had a safe word for if Skye really wanted her to stop).

Soon it turns into light smacks and caresses before Stacey gets her hands on Skye’s nipples and her fingers into Skye’s waiting pussy.  She has Skye masturbate for a few minutes while she undresses, then gets right back into the mix, smacking Skye’s thighs, fucking her hard and getting her off.  This is 12 minutes full of majorly hot action.  Definitely check it out.  Thanks for another wicked sexy video, Shine!

- Everyone’s favorite vampire got all gooed up recently.  They say he got pied, but I’m thinking Buzzfeed is right with the bukkake hypothesis…

- Speaking of Buzzfeed and semen… apparently there is a pub in New Zealand that serves horse semen shots.  I’m sorry, I meant to write GREEN APPLE FLAVORED horse semen shots.  I definitely threw up in my mouth a little there.  Probably because of the green apple flavoring.

- Porn star Sasha Grey is in the new Eminem video – you know, the one where he blows his brains out.  Oh Eminem, me thinks someone needs to get thee to a therapist.  You might have a few issues to attend to…

- Nicki Minaj is the latest celebrity to maybe have a leaked sex tape. Yawn.  Does anyone still care about celeb sex tapes?  Especially grainy ones that may or may not be of the person?  zzzzzzz. (via HuffPo)

- What can we learn from animal sex lives? And would you first response be to compare it to the ways we fuck?  Just curious.

- And lastly, check out this awesome video about the origins of the work ‘cunt’ on Betty Dodson and Carlin Ross’ site! (I decided not to embed it)
Hope this gets you through til the holiday weekend!

In heterosexual porn we have a very effective, voluntary, industry-wide testing standard that has reduced the incidence of HIV in performers to a rate of .017 percent (five cases in the past ten years), thanks to AIM Healthcare (aim-med.org). By contrast, in all of Los Angeles County there are an estimated 2,500 NEW cases of HIV transmission each year.Multiply that by ten years and we have an estimated 25,000 new HIV patients with which to contend, in LA County alone.

Why are they coming after us? Politics, pure and simple. Why is County Health wasting any time, money or effort on our business? Politics, pure and simple. Doesn’t County Health have a bigger problem on its hands than our industry? They couch it in terms of the safety of the general community. Horse feathers. There is little or no interaction between members of the adult performer community and the general population. We don’t mix well and rarely date each other. Again, politics, pure and simple.

It’s not porn’s job to be the PC Sex Teacher. It’s porn’s job to be entertaining. It’s up to the individual to protect his or her own health, and to make proper choices toward that end. It’s not the industry’s fault that what passes for sex “education” in this country is so piss-poor, and it’s a crying shame that people are reduced to looking at entertainment for educational purposes, unless the movie is specifically educational. Watching porn to find out about safer sex is sort of like watching a James Bond movie to find out how spies do their jobs.

Plus, condoms used in porn settings don’t protect as they do in civilian life, as we have intercourse for up to 90 minutes (as opposed to the average length in civilian life of 5 minutes). This results in friction abrasions of the receptive partner. Yes, we use lube, but it’s not enough for “industrial” uses, or for a performer doing multiple scenes per week. External ejaculation, a much-decried mainstay of the porn “esthetic,” has been a life-saver, literally, for 25 years

On the gay side of the business, they have condoms and no testing. In the past ten years over 150 male performers have died of HIV. We have no way of knowing how many may have been infected on the set, but the way seems clear: testing and no condoms beats out condoms and no testing.

This law would be a disaster for the health of the performers. We have an excellent system in place, one that is studied all over the world. Why would they come after us instead of copying our success? Politics, pure and simple.

Reasons for mandatory barrier use often come back to two big things, though there’s a lot of possible reasons, good and bad. First is the impetus to have a safe work environment for talent. Second is to not contribute to HIV/STI risk through putting out “unrealistical portrayals” of how sex actually takes place (supposedly this is something that barrier free porn does as the question implies). While 100% barrier use, in theory, makes some sense as a response to these problems, when we think about what constitutes “well-being” for performers and what we really mean by “realistic”, things get royally fucking complicated.

When we think about the implications on the generic “performer” were mandatory barrier use to be the norm, what we’d be doing is creating a more narrow range of images that will necessarily appeal to a smaller audience leading to obvious tangible economic implications. How do we consider the impact such changes would have on the economic health and well-being of hundreds of performers? Arguably even more problematic is the creation of an underground industry to fill the niche that would still very much be there. Given the (semi) illegal nature of this hypothetical industry, performers working in those contexts could be facing way more risk (likely for less pay) than the managed, minimal risk currently taken on by those working in an industry that has done a bang-up job at self-regulation in the absence of “lawmakers” telling us how to work or be safe.

As a quick aside: Its also important to consider the motivations that lawmakers may have. I find it really unlikely that politicians have the genuine well-being of porn performers (or any ‘workers’ for that matter) in their heart of hearts when they pick up their pens and draft laws in the current climate of neo-liberalism and increasing social conservatism. Adding further restriction (re: censorship) to the industry is a slippery slope; mandatory barrier use could, arguably be a gateway to further incursions into the industry.

Next, when we consider the complexities of “real sex” we all know that 100% barrier use is so far from the truth. How many of us have had to learn through trial & error, or as we walked the ‘walk of shame’ to the STI clinic, how to negotiate barriers, how to ask partners to get tested, how to freel okay about accepting some risk (cause condoms break and don’t offer protection against some STIs – i.e. HPV or Herpes). The “reality” of sex is a lot more complex then putting on a condom and this is something the porn industry, acknowledges and addresses this messy complexity. Case in point, consider the widespread use of AIM testing, and even the existence of AIM itself. Or the shift in barrier use in gay male porn that reflected and responded the increase in HIV in gay male communities.

What we could do better as an industry is finding creative ways to show how we do this dance. That it’s not a free-for-all. While testing is not 100% (considering window periods for testing), having a label asserting to performers having been AIM tested could be one simple way to make this more visible. Having BTS with negotiation of barriers or discussions about risk/HPV could also happen. There’s so many possibilities but I think that if “realism” is gonna be forefronted in the future of porn then its not gonna be found if our choices to use/not use barriers are determined by lawmakers.

That’s right – greening up your sex life is an awesome way to help clean up the environment- and bring a little extra dirty into your own bedroom.  Here are a few helpful tips to make your Earth Day super hot – you know, to keep those glaciers cold!

- Turn off the lights!  Yes, screwing in a well-lit room can be totally hot, but why not switch it up a bit and switch that flip!  Getting frisky in the dark can not only add an edge of mystery (where is that hand going!?!), it saves a bunch of energy.  Up the ante with a little romantic moonlight for a totally natural night in the sack.

- Forget about those crap-tastic jelly rubber toys and invest in higher quality sex toys!  Not only will your planet thank you, your body will be super grateful too!  The better quality a toy is, the longer it should last, which means toys get tossed out less frequently, and therefore generate less waste, including packaging.  Along with cutting down trash, higher quality toys are generally better for your body.  Toys made of good materials like 100% silicone, wood, glass and metal are non-porous and phthalate-free, making them body safe and super sexy!  Phthalates are plastic softening chemicals that are found in flexible materials like jelly rubber and PVC.  If chemicals leaching out of your toy and creating a greasy film and gross sickly sweet smell aren’t enough of a deterrent, phthalates have been linked to all sorts of health issues, including cancer.  No thanks!  Stick with the safe stuff!

-  And don’t for get about the lube!  Lots of companies offer organic lubes that have body safe natural ingredients.  Just say no to chemical crap in your body!

-  If it’s the buzz that gets you all tingly, skip the battery powered toys and go for the rechargeable vibes.  Saves you money and saves the world a bunch of battery acid filled waste!  Also a cool idea: hand crank powered vibes and solar powered toys.

- Conserve water by showering together.  Save even more water by keeping the hanky panky for before or after – get in, get out, get busy!

- Get dolled up in duds by eco friendly designers.  Check out Enamore Ltd for organic, sustainable underthings.  And think about bamboo sheets next time you are making up the bed after a particularly fun night.

- And lastly, watching porn on video-on-demand, like HotMoviesForHer.com is a great way to reduce the waste from DVD discs and packaging.  Good job guys!

No matter what way you slice it, being more aware of how you affect the planet is a great idea, both in and out of the bedroom.

Happy Earth Day!

So, this week we are in “wing and a prayer” mode and hoping that if we watch enough warm, sunny outdoor porn, it will magically become spring and we will be able to step out of the house in something other than snow boots.  So, here’s hoping… our Top Five warm and sunny outdoor porns!

Open Air: Italy’s hottest dudes go at it out in the Italian countryside.  Molto caldo!  (Ok, so I don’t know if this is actually the Italian countryside, but I want it to be, so I’m going to just pretend that I’m right.)

Eden: While I may have talked up this Adam & Eve flick a ton of times, it really does deserve all my adoration.  I mean really, can you beat a high quality, big budget award winner with a stellar cast, good acting and absolutely beautiful island locations?  And if that wasn’t enough… there is a T-Rex at the end!  Seriously!

Lesbian Life – Real Sex San Francisco: While San Francisco may not have the warmest temperatures on the globe, their consistent cool/warmish 60-70 degrees is my dream climate.  Jiz Lee and Lorelei Lee take perfect advantage of the amazing weather and get busy in the bushes of Delores Park in scene one of this awesome lesbo lovin’ fest.  I don’t know what I’m more jealous of… the hot sex or the great outdoor temps!

Ibiza Sex Party 5: This may be the fifth installment of this steamy summer series, but don’t think that means it’s any less scorching hot!  Featuring a mix of new and seasoned performers this award nominated European vacation is just the thing to make this winter blues disappear.

Sea, Sex & Fun!!!: An outdoor throwback I can totally get into!  Titled three things that make an awesome warm weather porn (sea, sex and fun), this flick is chock full of sexy ladies, sandy encounters and all the seaside orgies you could ever ask for.

Alright, I am officially ready for the warm weather!

We all ready know how much fun sex can be but it seems like some rather forward thinking park owners have taken the old sexy fun theme to bold new realms! China is set to open its first ever sex theme park, Love Land, which will feature naked statues, as well as giant replica genitalia and is meant to improve sexual education in that country.

The idea sounds – interesting – though I have to admit the “sex theme park” that opened in London two years ago, with its spankometers, orgasm tunnel and erogenous zone searchable dummies, sounds much more fun over all. There’s even a theme park in Korea, with the same name as the Chinese park, which looks like a totally awesome vacation spot – the water fountains alone are priceless!

There is one burning question that came up while I was reading about China’s latest theme park, why don’t we have one? America is crawling with theme/amusement parks (there’s one in just about every state) but there’s no sign of a theme park with a sexier appeal – unless DollyWood counts. Sounds like the perfect date destination for inquisitive couples and singles alike!

Edit – Thanks to all the advance publicity, the park had an early inspection by Chinese officials and was demolished for being vulgar.

This is seriously awesome, so take a minute to relax, kick your feet up, and get to hear all about Joanna’s super Jew upbringing and her fabulous family.

Looks like my Purim gift finally arrived! Let’s just say I wouldn’t say no to her hamantaschen…

Well, it finally happened.  All those cell phone on vibrate mode jokes can now rest in peace because someone finally made an iPhone application that turns the phone into a mobile massager for “releasing tension and stimulating nerves” wherever you may be.  Holy orgasms on the go!  But more than that, this ap can control the intensity of the vibrations – with 8 intensity levels!  And for only about a buck, this shiny new addition is on the cheap (well, if you already have the iPhone, which is not on the cheap itself).

Seriously, what can’t this magical techie dream machine do?  I bet it will cure Cancer next week.
