- Kink.com performer and director Maitresse Madeline is attempting to redefine the traditional gangbang so that it’s about female empowerment rather than subjugation. When Madeline was first approached to take over Kink.com’s “Hardcore Gangbangs” line last month, she wasn’t sure it was for her. But in conversation about the decision, “Lorelei [Lee] showed me that just because a woman is the center of a gangbang, doesn’t mean she shouldn’t be in total control,” she said. ”I want my women to be in control of the scene. I want them to own their sexuality.”

- One of the most common – and offensive – questions that porn performers get from viewers is, “what are you going to do this?” But even if porn performers don’t ever retire (some just keep going and going and look great doing it), most will eventually take a hiatus. Conner Habib has a great article about exactly this.

- I’m repulsed that this article included a picture of a child to accompany the porn item, but what an item. A professor at Thomas R.

Judge Kenneth Marra ordered Virginia Roberts’s accusations about Andrew, the Duke of York, to be struck from the record and denied her attempt to join a lawsuit against Jeffrey Epstein, a friend of the prince and a convicted sex offender. “At this juncture in the proceedings, these lurid details are unnecessary,” Marra wrote in his order, issued at the US district court in southern Florida this week.
