RIP Vine… I actually never even knew ya. I hate to admit it, but I struggle with the “too much free time” issues services and apps like Vine raise in me. (I don’t get message boards either — someone explain it!) And since Vine excommunicated all content that could be
I recently communicated with Susan Abram, a writer/reporter at the LA Daily News who has covered adult entertainment for some time now. Like many, Susan was/is interested in Prop. 60, the “mandatory condoms in porn” initiative on the California state ballot this November. Susan spoke to representatives from organizations for and against the
Many moons ago — almost exactly three years back, in fact — I wrote about AIDS Healthcare Foundation (AHF) using shame as a tactic to moralize a “Yes” vote for LA County’s 2013 Measure B, which called for mandatory condoms in porn (here). Via a series of billboards located around

I was very excited to contribute to the recently published, highly awesome book Sexual Deviance and Society, published by Routledge and written by my colleague and friend Meredith G. F. Worthen. I wrote a bit about the book here. Go take a look if you’d like more info about the volume. As
Ethical Content & Unethical Consumption — Contrary to popular belief, Free Porn Day isn’t just another way of saying “every day.” I recently spoke to Allee Manning at Vocativ about ethical content and “Free Porn Day.” A “technical” “Day” — not just a cheering euphemism for every day — the first
I recently spoke to Zachary Siegel, a journalist writing for USC’s Annenberg Media (among several other outlets). Zach wanted some insights re the possibility of porno flight to Las Vegas in the event of California’s Prop 60 — which mandates condoms in porn, civilian ability to sue those with a financial stake in production,
