SCREW Magazine Founder Al Goldstein
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 FilthyHow to Make a Sex Playlist
Make sure you can still hear the safe word over the sounds of the stereo. When it comes to knocking boots, the perfect sex playlist can do wonders to stimulate you and your partner. However, making the perfect sex playlist can arouse some real problems. If the tempo is too slow, you’ll be left struggling to stay excited. Yet if the tempo is too upbeat, you’ll be stuck in a fast forward cowgirl position and before you know it, you’ll be finished before your first song is. Therefore, Filthy Gorgeous Media recommends songs that will vary in both tempo and lyrics in order to achieve the right level of satisfaction. Just be sure that you aren’t tempted to sing-a-long to the songs in your sex playlist. These songs are just meant to be background noise, or in some cases, to muffle the moans of pleasure. So whether you’re celebrating a special occasion, like Valentine’s Day, or just looking to change things up when you go to place your needle in her record groove, making a sex playlist will help!
Emily McCayPublished 8 years ago in FilthyReasons Fifty Shades of Grey is Successful
Fifty, Fifty, Fifty. It’s all anyone could think about leading up to the film, and it seems that the craze still lingers. Eager women everywhere are squeezing their thighs shut in anticipation of seeing their fantasy come to life on the big screen. From movie trailers, cast interviews, and a lot of female gossip, there is no way to escape the Fifty Shades frenzy that has taken over. So what are women expecting out of the spicy hit novel turned film? Reviews are mixed that’s for sure. While some women would have seen the movie even if Seth Rogen had been cast as Christian Grey, others were gung-ho about boycotting the film altogether (or at least until it hits DVD). What I don’t understand is why there must be so many Fifty Shades Of Grey haters. As a reader and lover of all three volumes, I would like to give a big "fuck you" to all the women who are making us Grey fans feel guilty.

My parents used to wash my mouth out with soap every time I would curse. No shit. There I go again. If they knew how I much I curse as a grown up, they would probably have a bar of soap surgically attached to the inside of my mouth. I still remember when it became ok to say the word “bitch” on prime time television; it was a really big deal on the news because it had never been done before. We have certainly come a long way. Books and movies written by curse word connoisseurs like Quentin Tarantino. The Hateful 8 slings derogatory curse words around as rapidly as the bullets from their six shooters. I was so excited that I walked around the house all day just saying, “bitch, bitch, bitch.” Needless to say, the taste of Ivory soap lingered in my mouth for about a week. “But mom,” I said with a mouth full of bubbles, “If they can say it on tv, why can’t I say it?” She didn’t care and probably gave me the “If your friend jumped off the Golden Gate bridge, would you do the same?” line. And to answer her question, no I would not do that. But I found that saying bitch was really liberating, especially since my parents never cursed-EVER. Now that I am an adult, I wonder how that is even possible. I always wonder about those folks that say “fudge” or “shrek” or “heck.” Come on, this is America-say what you mean, “Fuck that shit, I want that bitch to go straight to hell.” Sorry I have to go wash my mouth out with soap, again.

Paige Jennings left the finance world of Wall Street because she would rather take it up the ass as a porn star instead of a low-paid intern. Frustrated by the high work volume, Paige Jennings left Wall Street to carve a more lucrative career as erotic sensation, Veronica Vain. After handing in her two-week notice, she went to the bathroom and took a couple of sizzling selfies. After they leaked to her coworkers, her boss told her it was time to go home for good. Despite the abrupt end to her job, Jennings has no regrets. In fact, under the name Veronica Vain, she plans to make a career out of her hobby of getting naked. Vain makes no apologies for her career departure, and in her Twitter bio she stated, "I just left a job on Wall Street for a porn career because I can’t stop masturbating at work and have an affinity for jizz showers. Is that cool with you?." The truth is as she told the press, "Every time you’d walk down the aisle, it was eyes on me," she further said. "You know how it is when you’re a woman in business and you’re in a tight pencil skirt. You could definitely feel men’s eyes. You know when men are watching you." The Florida University graduate claimed that when the questionable selfies surfaced, she was not terminated and left her position willingly.

Andy LongoPublished 8 years ago in FilthyGet to Know Miley Cyrus
Only Miley Cyrus can make a wrecking ball sexy. But if there is one thing that Miley Cyrus loves more than anything else, it’s nipple pasties. She’s been seen wearing butterfly nipple pasties during on-stage performances, and ice cream cone nipple pasties when she went to a party during New York Fashion Week. They’ve even helped her channel Lil Kim for Halloween. Miley’s love of pasties often confuses critics who can’t reconcile the fact that she likes showing off her body and sharing a message of empowerment. But while celebrities like Miley Cyrus have been bringing these nipple stickers back into vogue, nipple pasties are more than just a fashion statement. Pasties are perfect for that sexy moment or for getting past silly indecency rules.

Prosthetics, digitization, and other tricks of the trade can make fake sex look realer than real sex. The MPAA and its rating system are eager to put a damper on the Hollywood creatives who present new levels of verisimilitude to multiplex patrons. But most of us understand what the power of suggestion can do. Whether they are realistic or totally over the top, a good sex scene has the power to transform a movie into an Oscar-worthy production. They are not necessarily the most explicit, but the celebrity presence makes them the most powerful.
