- With great porn comes great responsibility – or rather, the inverse, in my “please don’t feed the porn stars” two cents on what the approval of .XXX means for the Internet’s ecosystem: .XXX Domain Approved: Now Begins The Era Of Meaningless TLDs (CBSi/ZDNet)
- GREAT post – do you think Public Disgrace crosses a line? The site that shows women being gangbanged in public, finally unpacked (with consternation) by a sex-positive Ph.D.: Consent and Public Disgrace (Charlie Glickman)
- Seriously, WTF Apple – hateful anti-gay app finds a welcome home in the Apple app store, while people are trying to petition its removal: “Ex-Gay” iPhone app gets approval from Apple (Salon)
- One of the things I regret missing so far this year is CineKink, the Sundance for erotic film, which had its biggest NYC festival yet: Text Archive Sexy Q&A: CineKink Film Festival founder Lisa Vandever on sex in cinema (Examiner.com, via Viviane’s Sex Carnival)
Video by bluecut, who should really move it to Vimeo before Flickr deletes it randomly and without warning, as they just did with two of my non-nude, ToS compliant videos in the past week. (I am a paying customer, too.)
I have seen the Public Disgrace videos, and never once did it ever cross my mind that there was anyone involved that wasn’t a part of the shoot. I have been close to some individuals involved in producing a few of the original and well known “Reality TV” shows. Nothing was unscripted. The show was planned out in its entirety. From who wasn’t going to get along with who, to who was going to end up sleeping with who.
I would extremely difficult to believe the bystanders in the Public Disgrace shoots aren’t there with total and complete fore knowledge of what’s about to happen. Legal or not in the country, if you just start screwing in a public business and you’re filming it, someone (probably the manager) will stop you pretty damn quick if it isn’t already arranged well in advance. I bet ALL participants sign waivers and are compensated somehow, if only a free meal.
