It’s a question that men (and some women) have been asking one another for decades: “What would you do if you could spend 24 hours with a porn star?”

Naturally, the answers are most often sexual, and in some cases, rather violently descriptive. Growing up idolizing porn stars, some men have been fantasizing about the dirty things they would do to a porn star their whole lives.

This new Elite TV original classic, featuring the one and only Jayden Jaymes, explores this topic in a way like never before…

Face it, condoms aren’t sexy. Yes, they are mostly reliable and protect us against STDs and pregnancy, but nothing can compete with the thrill of skin on skin contact. So many couples get caught up in the heat of the moment, the moment when kisses turn to caresses and the clothes land in a heap on the floor. Uncontrollable attraction takes over as our pleasure centers catch fire, the world falls away and our concerns for safety cease to exist. One thing matters: sexual gratification. Having to pause and fuss around with an annoying wrapper and then figure out how to put it on correctly in a dimly lit room can ruin the moment. That’s when the condom FAILS.

Condoms have been a buzzkill for the industry, too. Since Los Angeles County passed Measure B, which mandates condom use in all porn films made locally, there’s been an estimated 95 percent drop in permits to film. While the measure does seem extreme, we can’t forget that the industry was rattled when a few performers tested positive for HIV this year.

Meanwhile, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation has awarded grants to their “create a new condom” contest winners in an effort to create a new generation condom, one that will appeal to even the most finicky of condom users.

I don’t know what the condom of the future looks like. Perhaps it could utilize nanotechnology. Maybe nano particles could conform to the user and create a thin breathable STD repellent condom that feels like silk and disintegrates upon contact with semen, vaporizing the semen as it goes. Maybe I’ve read too many Michael Crichton novels. It’s hard to imagine any drastic variation of today’s condom: the simple thin sheath for the human penis.

That being said, I asked several adult stars what their ideas were for improving the condom.

Derrick Pierce, former personal trainer and award-winning adult star: “If I designed a condom it would be adjustable at the bottom. Guys are built differently, not every guy needs a Magnum or Ultra Magnum even, if they think they do. Some of us fill it out more width-wise than length-wise, so I always get ring around the cock. If the feeling were improved, like what they tried to do with the lambskin condom, then condoms would be easier for us to wear because we wouldn’t have to sacrifice sensitivity.”

Joslyn James, adult star notoriously known as Tiger Woods’s former mistress: “When used correctly the condom is great. But I’m not a fan of all the ridges. All the ridges and sensation stuff is too much. Keep it simple. I wish there was a condom that was more anal sex friendly.”

Layton Benton, AVN nominated porn star:“Most condoms are too thick and even the Trojan brand condom that’s ‘barely there’ is still rather thick. I would design a thin yet reliable condom that has a slight bit of lubrication. I would also make the packaging a little easier to open.”

Last night, the Los Angeles Lakers improved their record to 5-7 with a 114-99 win over the Detroit Pistons at the Staples Center, thanks to an impressive double-double from power forward Jordan Hill. But more noteworthy than two sub-.500 teams was the courtside celebrity watching that always makes Lakers games so much fun, and last night’s big star was… *monkey drum roll* adult film actress Daisy Marie.

Red Hot Chili Peppers frontman Anthony Kiedis was also there, as you can see, but what has he ever done for us? Record “Blood Sugar Sex Magik”? Big deal. Daisy Marie was the recipient of the Favorite Underrated Star honor at the 2009 FAME Awards, and she has been nominated for not one, not two but THREE Best Threeway Sex Scene awards by the folks at AVN. It’s only a matter of time before David Spade offers Kiedis an autographed VHS copy of 8 Heads in a Duffle Bag for his seat.

Lux Alptraum profiles James Darling, who “isn’t like most up-and-coming porn performers”:

As it happens, he’s a trans man (meaning he’s a man who was born in a female body), and that greatly limits the amount of work he can get. Trans women looking to perform sex work have numerous options, but for trans men, it’s a different story. Unlike “t-girls” and “shemales,” who’ve long been pornographic staples, trans men didn’t enter the porn world’s awareness until the early 2000s, when pioneering porn performer Buck Angel debuted as “the man with a pussy.” To this date, Buck is the only trans man to ever have been recognized by any of the major porn awards shows.

More than six years after Buck took home the award for Transsexual Performer of the Year, the number of porn studios willing to work with trans men is still in the single digits. Major porn studios don’t know how to market transmale content, which appeals to an audience not targeted by more traditional genres of porn. The filmmakers who pick up the slack tend to be members of the queer community who are looking to create the content they’re personally interested in seeing. Most, if not all, of those studios are indie ventures with small budgets and infrequent shoots, making it hard for Darling to pick up regular work. If he shoots once a year for the handful of companies that are trans man-friendly, that’s about four or five scenes—enough to establish a porn presence, but not nearly enough to make a living.

In the meantime, Darling’s day job? Pizza delivery man.

For some reason, AVN pulled their link to this article.

Cytherea is alive, well, human and the subject of a good article in a local paper: Cytherea’s Rise, Fall, Rise, Et Cetera.

I wish our own porn “journalists” would write something like this about individuals in the industry, and knock aside some of the hype.

To everything (turn, turn, turn) … there is a season (turn, turn, turn) … and a time … to every purpose … under heaven.

So true, Bible. So true, Byrds. What the truisms neglect to tell us, however, is that “every purpose under heaven” includes not only planting and reaping and laughing and weeping, but also, apparently, performing porny Google searches.

We know this, now, because of the plantings and reapings of Science. According to a paper just published in the Archives of Sexual Behavior, Internet pornography — like so many storms, like so much kale — is seasonal. Porn’s peak seasons? Winter and late summer.

Researchers at Villanova examined the Google trends for such commonly-searched-for terms as “porn,” “xxx,” “xxvideos” … and other, more descriptive phrases that, because I am looking at a portrait of James Russell Lowell as I write this, I will let you look up in the paper itself. Once they’d gathered those terms, the authors examined them in Google Trends. And what they found was a defined cycle featuring clear peaks and valleys — recurring at discernible six-month intervals. The cycle, as you can see in the chart above, maps surprisingly well to the world’s calendar seasons.

Unemployment in Spain is over 50% for those under 25. That means big competition for Porn Valley, even if Berth Milton isn’t personally hiring - and the worst is yet to come.

This photo is of young Spaniards - male and female - lining up for a single porn shoot in Madrid. What will these young people do for money that you won’t do?

This Creepy App Isn’t Just Stalking Women Without Their Knowledge, It’s A Wake-Up Call About Facebook Privacy

“Boy, you sure have a lot of apps on your phone.”

“Well, it’s my job.”

“What’s your favorite?”

“Oh, I couldn’t choose. But hey, want to see one to set your skin crawling?”

It was the flush end of a pleasurably hot day — 85 degrees in March — and we were all sipping bitter cocktails out in my friend’s backyard, which was both his smoking room, beer garden, viticetum, opossum parlor and barbecue pit. I was enjoying the warm dusk with a group of six of my best friends, all of whom seemed interested, except for my girlfriend… who immediately grimaced.

“Girls Around Me? Again?” she scolded. “Don’t show them that.”

She turned to our friends, apologetically.

“He’s become obsessed with this app. It’s creepy.”

I sputtered, I nevered, and I denied it, but it was true. I had become obsessed with Girls Around Me, an app that perfectly distills many of the most worrying issues related to social networking, privacy and the rise of the smartphone into a perfect case study that anyone can understand.

It’s an app that can be interpreted many ways. It is as innocent as it is insidious; it is just as likely to be reacted to with laughter as it is with tears; it is as much of a novelty as it has the potential to be used a tool for rapists and stalkers.

A modest proposal: the case for fair trade porn

This post was originally published at Huffingtonpost.com.  It was also published, in a slightly different form, in the Boston Globe.

We have fair trade coffee and humanely raised pork. So why can’t we create a market for ethically sourced pornography? A couple of decades ago, people didn’t give much thought to their food’s provenance. We didn’t care about carbon footprints or the working conditions of the poor Africans who sold us our coffee beans. Slowly, however, consumption habits began to shift under the weight of scientific evidence and cultural change. We’re becoming a little more selective in our consumer choices.

Yet not with that multi-billion dollar white elephant: pornography. We hear rumblings here and there about the sexual trafficking of women and children, and it’s always a relief when a criminal ring is busted for what’s euphemistically called “abuse.” It’s reassuring to know that whatever was going on in the far reaches of a few sick minds has little to do with our own primitive — but relatively harmless — impulses.

But do porn consumers ever think about where their porn is sourced? What a downer! No one wants to hear about drug-addicted runaways or Albanian teenage sex slaves. Nobody wants to imagine STD infections on movie sets or the life circumstances that would impel a woman to engage in physically punishing sexual acts on camera. (And just Google the word “bukkake” if you want a quick education in the mainstreaming of fringe sex acts.)
