Home Entertainment Events Issues Statement about Questex Filing

64e1d8f1b6cd334d1e7847b19001b1b5

LOS ANGELES—The recent voluntarily bankruptcy filing by Questex Holding Company will have no impact on the 2010 AVN Adult Entertainment Expo (AEE), to be presented Jan. 7-10. 2010 at the Sands Expo Center in Las Vegas, or on any future Expos. The 2010 Expo is in full production mode, with fan and trade registrations pacing ahead of last year and with strong support from exhibitors. The filing was a voluntary fully funded pre-packaged deal at the Questex Holding Company level that will restructure the company’s balance sheet, lowering the company’s debt levels – it will have no impact on the daily operations of the company at the operating level, and thus no impact at all on AEE. AEE will continue to be the largest adult expo in the U.S and will bring the top talent, key buyers and fans together in one location for a great four-day event. Once the filing is completed, the company will have the opportunity to re-invest more funds into AEE since the debt ratio will be much lower. Thus, rather than having any adverse impact on future Expos, this will only serve to strengthen the event’s position in the marketplace. … [Read more...]

Racy Question: Do You Ever Go Commando?

afadhli4

I love frilly undies far too much to ever go panty-less, but The Bachelorette's Jillian Harris reportedly feels differently... When People caught up with Jillian and fiancee Ed Swiderski at a Victoria's Secret store, the couple shared some intimate details about a woman's, er, intimates. When asked what the sexiest thing a woman can wear is, Ed said, “No panties.” Meanwhile, Jillian thought that "no bra" is super-sultry. 1023_jillian.jpg Like I said, I love my unmentionables too much to give them up. But, almost every guy I know just shrugs when it comes to fancy panties. “It’s kind of like wrapping paper,” my guy friend explained. “It’s pretty and everything, but I'm really more interested in what’s underneath.” It's so true! But, I have to say that trotting around without undies for too long gets pretty uncomfortable. Tight jeans and bare skin? Yeeouch! What do you think? Do you ever go commando? Is it for comfort? Or, do you usually do it to spice things up with a guy? For more on lingerie... Which look is the sexiest? Here are 10 sexy styles inspired by classic films!

Girls Gone Wild' Video Shoot Results in 16 Arrests

7db39b46b84b23f6ac151fb6d97799a8

YULEE, FL.—Even in the smallest burg, all it apparently takes is a single sighting of the infamous "Girls Gone Wild" bus to get law enforcement swinging into action. That's just what happened Friday when a Good Samaritan saw trouble brewing in Yulee, Florida. "Nassau County Sheriff Tommy Seagraves was tipped off by a concerned citizen who saw a 'Girls Gone Wild' bus in town," reports the Florida Times-Union. "Deputies investigated the incident because it's illegal to operate a sexually oriented business in Nassau County or to expose yourself in public. Therefore, some of the film crew's activities might violate the law." The bus was parked at The Mill Night Club. Undercover officers were dispatched and observed men in the bar encouraging several women to show their breasts so they could film them, and also offering to spray-paint their breasts for the cameras. Arrests followed. Kim Karim Bateh, the club's owner, was arrested for operating a sexually-oriented business and also on obscenity charges, as were Thomas William Ryan and Michael Daniel Bateh, who were at the bar at the time. "Girls Gone Wild" employees Paul Thomas Simmons and Robert Wayne Decorah Illo also were arrested, on charges of operating a sexually oriented business and obscenity, according to the Times-Union, which reports that four other men were detained for a variety of offenses that included engaging in a sexual offense, resisting arrest without violence, disorderly intoxication and prohibition of certain acts in connection with obscene, lewd materials. Seven women also were sent to the hoosegow, charged with indecent exposure. "Girls Gone Wild" owner Joe Francis was not present. The Times-Union sought comment from The Mill Night Club, but "couldn't find a working phone number for the bar." … [Read more...]

What Women Love & Hate About Anal

1e72dbc07efbae751eb6ffc4e6446d3c

Anal sex is just one of those things: she either loves it, or she hates it. There is very little in between. Most women have tried it at some point, and a fair few of them will never dare again despite their hankering to be one of the "lucky ones" who love anal sex. The reason for this avoidance is clear: pain. If there was no pain, there was probably pleasure. Hence, love or hate. It is true, however, that while you're trying to "get it right" there are likely to be some painful moments, practice makes perfect and it’s the ability to maneuver oneself and try different styles that allows anal sex to be pleasurable. We've decided to let you in on what women love and hate about anal sex so you can enter the situation sufficiently informed and ready to rock her world. the allure of anal sex For men and women, anal sex is a different, tighter sensation, it’s a little bit naughty and it provides some variety to normal sex. Anal sex has a tang of taboo attached to it, though this is falling away: The taboo status of anal sex gives it better credence among the adventuresome and timid alike, and this adds to its attraction. Once tried, however, anal sex can quickly lose its appeal for women (and some men). Here we will discuss some of the reasons why women love and hate anal sex. why does she love anal sex? Let’s start with the positives: Because anal sex feels good Women love anal sex because it can feel absolutely incredible. It's different in sensation and it doesn’t feel like anything else she may have felt before -- it's deep inside, it's not her clitoris and is not in her vagina, but feels strangely like both in a sort of mixed-up combination in another part of her body. The rectum, once it’s ready, literally swallows the penis up and can’t get enough. The back passage transforms itself into a sexual playground. If the clitoris and/or vagina are stimulated while you are inside of her, it can take her to another sexual realm. Anal orgasms are possible. Because anal sex is naughty People love to be a little bit naughty sometimes, and anal sex is one of those things you can do completely privately, and nobody will ever know you were naughty except you and your partner -- which is part of the fun. It is also often a "first time for everything" type of activity which can also be nice -- doing something you've never done before, ever. why does she hate anal sex? Now for what goes wrong: Because anal sex hurts Anal sex is not easy to master when you haven’t done it before. For a man it may seem straight forward -- in, out -- but it isn’t this simple. Women hate anal sex primarily because it hurts. It can cause cold sweats, shivers, extreme agony, and a massive chemical release into the blood stream that causes pain. This is highly unpleasant, but may be endured because A) She wants to like it; and B) She wants you to like it. If you're not very careful, if you don’t warm her up properly, if you don’t go slowly enough, you will probably … [Read more...]

Sexual Positions Women Enjoy

12848cd935f5a5a83c169f7c1f38ccc9

Women love sex. In fact, some women think about it just as often, if not more, then their male counterparts. They fantasize constantly and at great length (with you being the object of their desire, of course). These hot little fantasies can cover a broad spectrum of kink, but almost always involve one of the five most common vaginal and anal sex positions women enjoy. This is due to a number of reasons, the most significant being that they create a perfect balance between level of difficulty and maximum pleasure. In other words, these sex positions women enjoy result in loads of pleasure for the minimal level of effort required to pull them off. That’s not to say that women don’t love your faves as well; they’re definitely into sexual acrobatics every now and then -- but when we’re getting down and dirty, certain sex positions tend to get women more wet than others. Private lap dance Most women love being on top for one simple reason: It makes them feel like they're in charge, and power is always a heady aphrodisiac. Being on top is not limited to one style, however. If you’re old-school, lie on your back and have her straddle your waist before lowering herself onto you; don’t forget to lend her some support by holding her hips while she rides you. If your woman doesn’t enjoy this style, it’s likely for one of two reasons: She may feel overexposed during the act, or her legs might be a bit too short to pull it off comfortably. The easy fix for this dilemma? Move to the sofa. Sit yourself down, lean back and pull her astride you. This is definitely one of the sex positions women enjoy because it allows her to brace herself against the back of the couch, giving her excellent leverage to ride you to orgasm. She can even brace herself with one hand, leaving the other free to play with her clit. Sex position savvy: It may be tempting to just sit back and enjoy the scenery, but if you’d like to really rock her world, tease her breasts and nipples with your tongue and trace the curve of her waist with your fingers; these moves will magnify her pleasure. The comfort zone More commonly known as the missionary position, the comfort zone is not to be overlooked. Nor should any man ignore its tremendous potential for scorching hot sex. Yes, it can also make for predictable, boring sex a Puritan would admire, but only if you’re lacking passion and creativity. The comfort zone is one of the top sex positions women enjoy, and for good reason: the permutations for pleasure are virtually endless, and none of them involve discomfort or the skills of a gymnast. Take charge: Lay her down on the bed, spread her legs apart by sliding your knee between her thighs, place her wrists above her head and show her what you’re made of. Women love displays of dominance in the bedroom, and this one can be either subtle or overt, making it suitable for nearly every woman out there. Sex position savvy: Take it to the next level by talking dirty to her. Bring … [Read more...]

McCain Wants to Block Net Neutrality

3f297b9312d39a4dd2af2e5f93911bd5

WASHINGTON —Sen. John McCain has introduced the Internet Freedom Act, a legislation that would bar the Federal Communications Commission from establishing net neutrality rules. According to the Republican Arizona senator, the proposed rules announced yesterday by the FCC, which would prohibit broadband providers from selectively blocking or slowing Internet content and applications, are a sign of “government takeover.” In a written statement, McCain said that the FCC’s proposed rules would stifle Internet innovation and would depress an “already anemic” job market in the U.S. "Today I'm pleased to introduce the Internet Freedom Act of 2009 that will keep the Internet free from government control and regulation," McCain said in his statement. "It will allow for continued innovation that will in turn create more high-paying jobs for the millions of Americans who are out of work or seeking new employment. Keeping businesses free from oppressive regulations is the best stimulus for the current economy." … [Read more...]

Adam & Eve Asks ‘How Many Have You Had?’

e67abd4016863e7a00bfadd6445650bd

HILLSBOROUGH, N.C. — Adam & Eve asked more than 1,000 Americans to reveal how many sexual partners they’ve had and found most have had between two and five. According to Adam & Eve’s Great American Sex Survey, 23.8 percent said they’d slept with between two to five partners. Of the respondents 21 percent were male and 28 percent were female. The respondents with six to 10 partners (23.1 percent) consisted of 22 percent males and 24.9 percent females. Twenty-one percent of the respondents answered that they have had between 11 and 25 partners. Thirteen percent of the female respondents and 11.7 of the males said they have had only one partner. “We were pleased to see that the number of partners for the average person is in line with a similar survey we created around 10 years ago,” said Katy Zvolerin, Adam & Eve director or public relations. “It’s interesting to see that even with much more access to sexually oriented media, the average American is still holding on to traditional sexual values in many ways.” The smallest answer selection of the survey showed that 8.8 percent of the respondents have had more than 50 partners. The test was conducted by Cvent, an event management and web survey software company, on behalf of Adam & Eve. The web-based survey, conducted by Cvent, of more than 1,000 American adults age 18 and up, was sponsored by Adam & Eve to study sexual preferences and practices. … [Read more...]

Genesis Unveils 11th Annual 'Hot 100' List of Porn Stars

393838964700c5278308e2df5794035d

PARAMUS, N.J.— Genesis magazine on Tuesday announced plans to release the 11th annual edition of its “Porn’s Hot 100” issue. The January 2010 issue has a free, inserted mini-mag that ranks the 100 hottest stars in the adult industry. Genesis anointed Sasha Grey the No. 1 porn star in this year's rankings, thanks to her breakthrough year in both mainstream and adult. “Ever since Sasha entered adult she has made a name for herself in the industry with her amazing scenes, all-natural beauty and forward-thinking vision,” said Dan Davis, editor-in-chief of Genesis. “This last year saw Sasha not only increase her popularity in adult to uncharted heights, but become a household name thanks to her various accomplishments, and that is everything the top star of the year should do.” Grey in January 2008 won AVN’s coveted Female Performer of the Year honor before going on to star in various adult hits such as Vivid’s Throat: A Cautionary Tale, Digital Playground’s Pirates II: Stagnetti’s Revenge and Nurses, This Ain’t Star Trek XXX (Hustler), Sun Goddess: Mailbu (skinworXXX) and The Five (Adam & Eve). This year she also started her own production company, Grey Art, and made various appearances in all areas of adult media, including a starring role on the Showtime reality series, “Deeper Throat.” But it was Grey's star turn in Academy Award-winning director Steven Soderbergh's The Girlfriend Experience that made the biggest splash. After being hand-picked by Soderbergh, she received rave reviews for her role as a call girl. With the role came several mainstream media opportunties, including an appearance on “Last Call with Carson Daly” and a feature story in Rolling Stone. “I am genuinely shocked and extremely flattered that I garnered the number one spot this year!” Grey said. “Sincerest thanks go out to all of my fans and Genesis magazine for this honor. I've had a lot of fun and success in diversifying my ventures this year, and hopefully 2010 will bring more of the same!” The January issue of Genesis also includes an exclusive centerfold layout of Grey shot by photographer and filmmaker, Ian Cinnamon. With a penchant for the avant garde, Cinammon is now sole documentarian for the experiences and exploits of his fiancé, Grey. He is also co-creative director (along with Grey) for her production company. His work has appeared in numerous publications including: Contra, Rolling Stone, Metro, Time Out Chicago, SF Gate, SNR and Montreal Mirror. His work will also appear alongside Grey's in her upcoming sexual philosophy book, due out in the early part of 2010. The top 10 (in order) “Porn’s Hot 100” also features Jenna Haze, Digital Playground star Jesse Jane, Tera Patrick, Wicked’s Stormy Daniels, Adam & Eve’s Bree Olson; Briana Banks, Belladonna, Joanna Angel and Gianna Michaels. The main issue of Genesis also features an on-the-set report from the making of Adam & Eve’s newest epic Rawhide II, as … [Read more...]

U.S. Judge Rejects Challenge to Craigslist's Erotic Services

fd5e3e40f8fa0cc841d00dbc66ef153c

CHICAGO — In a ruling of significant interest to online adult businesses, a federal judge has thrown out a lawsuit by Cook County’s top cop who sued Craigslist in an attempt to force the company to drop its erotic services category. U.S. Judge F. John Grady granted a motion for judgment in favor of Craigslist and said that Sheriff Tom Dart can continue to use Craigslist’s website to finger Johns who use prostitution services, but he cannot sue Craigslist for its conduct. Craigslist has maintained all along that it has been immune from liability and shielded by 47 U.S.C. § 230(c), known as the Communication Decency Act, which generally reads that you can’t hold the messenger liable for third-party content. “Sheriff Dart alleged that Craiglist itself violated criminal laws prohibiting prostitution and related offenses,” Grady wrote. “He alleges for example that Craigslist knowingly ‘arranges’ meetings for the purpose of prostitution and ‘directs’ people to places of prostitution." Grady, in his ruling, said he didn’t buy Dart’s argument and said that just because the site indexes and categorizes the ads, it’s a stretch to claim that the site ‘arranges’ and ‘directs’ ads. “Craigslist does not ‘provide’ that information, its users do,” he said. Earlier this year, Dart went on a crusade against the online classified ad site, calling Craigslist “the "single largest source of prostitution in the nation." "Craigslist unabashedly facilitates prostitution, then ultimately makes a profit from it," Dart said in a release, pointing to the annual $80 million in revenue Craigslist generates. Craigslist, in the past year, has changed its rules for the “erotic” category. The San Francisco-based company pledged to crack down on prostitution ads as part of an accord with several attorneys general. It said it would require anyone who posts such an ad to provide a working phone number and pay a fee with a valid credit card. Cook County spokesman Steve Patterson on Thursday said that Dart may appeal the ruling. … [Read more...]
