Bringing Back the Bush
When I first started in the business of removing my clothes for money (I include here my time during university when I worked as a dancer in London) I shaved my nether region completely bald. I wasn’t alone, pretty much every single girl I met both in dancing and modeling, and then eventually in porn, were also rocking the Hollywood pussy. It seemed to be the desirable look, not a solitary hair. Clean and smooth. I was also under the impression that this was what men found attractive and of the uneducated opinion that it was more hygienic.

For such a widely viewed and, might I add, socially accepted show, there sure are a lot of tits and ass in Game of Thrones. And not just naked girls, but generally rough sex. Hold on a second, isn’t that what porn is always slated for? Then who better to cast as these naked bodies then porn stars themselves? I have to hand it to the casting directors, casting porn girls for nude roles and sex scenes in a mainstream television production is a genius plan. We are comfortable with nudity and sex, and it’s not awkward or hard for us to imitate these things. I was also told, upon my first time on set, that I made the other girls who hadn’t done nude scenes before feel more comfortable, because I was so comfortable with being naked.

Gloria Leonard is believed to be the first person to use 900 numbers as a new revenue stream in the adult industry. She recorded her own voice, giving callers updates on the next issue of High Society magazine before the issue was published. Leonard persuaded the then magazine publisher Carl Ruderman to buy many of these and soon the magazine's business was flourishing.

The manager of a massage parlor called a number left with his answering service in response to an ad for masseuses he had placed in several college and underground newspapers. His call was greeted by a mature and enthusiastic voice: "Hello!"—it was a recording—"This is Tracy McNeal, the girl you've been looking for! And I have a new toy, it's a telephone recorder. Won't you help me play with my new toy? It's easy, all you have to do is leave your message, name, and number after you hear the beep, and we'll be speaking soon! Bye!"

Gigolos are a misunderstood subject of conversation in popular culture. Thanks to movies like American Gigolo starring Richard Gere, male escort agencies were bundled under one category: the sex industry. The modern day “gigolo” became synonymously paired with “prostitute” and “sex worker.” While sexuality is embraced in the gigolo culture, it is not the be-all and end-all of the experience. For a fee, women have the ability to find the man of their dreams, no strings attached. Are you interested in a rock climbing date? Dinner for two where he doesn’t look at his phone? Fun night out with your girlfriends? Call matchmaker specialist, Garren James.
Natasha SydorPublished 8 years ago in FilthyHistory of Sexual Censorship
Some might think sexual censorship an antiquated topic, but it is alive and well, manifesting itself in the convoluted and often hypocritical perceptions of bureaucrats from Washington D.C. to Silicon Valley. Do not be fooled by the abundance of sexual content readily available to anybody with a wi-fi connection. Unlike its sibling graphic violence, sex has yet to be given a gaming platform like Xbox or Nintendo, who wrap bloody violence and often deviant imagery around trolls and unicorns. There is no middle ground for sex. An often binary decision to censor sexual content leads to rebellious undertones and social discord. The UK's Audiovisual Media Services Regulations 2014 banned spanking, aggressive whipping (light whipping ok), physical restraint, humiliation (that's not such a bad idea), female ejaculation (aka squirting), and playful strangulation. Bear in mind, nobody said you can't partake of these titillating escapades, you just can't professionally film it and distribute it under your own label. Censorship debates continue to be heard in the halls at the palace of Westminster and the floor of the US Senate. If history has taught us anything, it is it that they will continue to rage for the foreseeable future.

The famous motto "sex sells" isn’t a new concept. In fact, it may be older than you think. Companies were using risqué and erotic images in advertisements as far back as 1871, with Pearl Tobacco featuring a nude woman on their cigarette packages. Based on the vast number of advertisements throughout history that use nudity, erotic images, innuendos, and other sexual content as a selling device, it would seem that the saying rings true.

Success comes in all shapes and sizes and Tera Patrick’s climb to the top is no different. From the start, Tera's life was anything but traditional, filled with enough drama and heartache for several Lifetime movies.

Frankly, if her name doesn’t ring a familiar bell in your brain than you must have been living under a rock for the past 15 years. A very boring, porn-less, masturbation-free rock.

Little known fact, Jerry Lewis was an Al Goldstein fan. Al Goldstein founded SCREW magazine in 1968, a time when the legal system was trying to decide what constituted obscenity constitutionally. He would be arrested on obscenity charges 19 times over the next three years. Over the years, he spent millions of dollars to fight for First Amendment rights. Goldstein was the genius behind the adult-themed public access show "Midnight Blue." So ground breaking was his show that you can be sure there would be no Howard Stern if there was no Al Goldstein. Screw folded in 2003, and in a 2004 interview with the New York Times, Goldstein said that at times, since his magazines demise, he was forced to sleep in his car and live in a homeless shelter. At the magazine's 30th Anniversary in 1998, Goldstein was incredibly optimistic about the magazine's future. Below is a letter from Al Goldstein to loyal SCREW readers after 30 years of success, the he still believed that the best was yet to come. That was right around the birth of internet porn.
Filthy StaffPublished 8 years ago in FilthyPorn Is the Invisible Hand of Technology
Technology creates sexology improves. Technology has evolved to its current state largely thanks to the invisible hand of pornography. The adult entertainment industry was pioneering technology long before Silicon Valley existed. While Hollywood executives shrunk from the release of the VCR and later the internet, the erotic entertainment industry seized these new markets as new opportunity. The contributions of erotic markets to technological evolution are largely overlooked, namely due to the fact that these markets are still seen as taboo by the masses. Whether the public realizes it or not, the porn industry has grabbed technology and applied it to consumers needs, wants, and desires since the 19th century.
