Do Porn Sets Welcome Spectators?
Zen Master writes on ADT: Outside of authorized "publicity days" and publicly advertised gang-bang scenarios, this is very unlikely. Random spectators in the eyeline of the average male performer is anathema to sustaining wood, which would result in longer production days and increased capital expenditures to cover fluffers and catering. Now, the million-dollar idea would…
Where Does Spam Come From?
Donny Pauling blogs: My point, constant readers, is that while it’s true some unscrupulous porn bulk emailers do indeed disregard all consideration and send mail without regard, I don’t know of any legitimate porn companies that tolerate such practices. It’s just bad business, and as I’ve mentioned in previous blog entries, most pornographers treat their…

Her exclusive deal with The Candy Shop, the semi-autonomous "ethnic division" of Red Light District Video, keeps DeVoe very…
Club Jenna paying royalties to Chloe Jones’ survivors?
