PInk News: Dear Pot...

The complete lack of self-awareness here is too funny for words or even sentences.

'The Sun isn't the only tabloid to run ridicuolus LGBT stories...'

Justin Bieber: Porn Star

Via Instinct.

The offer to the Biebs of $2 million to make a gay porn film was nothing but a PR stunt, obvs.

Worked though.

PS This would be AMAZING!

King Cobra: Trailer

Oh my god, this looks good.

King Cobra: Shocking

The outrageous film is based on a true story and will receive its European premiere in London this October.

Set in the LA porn industry, the scandalous tale is one of the films being shown in the appropriately-named Dare section of the famous film festival.

We'll do our best to avoid tacky puns about big (trouser) snakes since King Cobra packs a pretty deadly bite.

The new film tells the tawdry tale of gay porn, young hustlers and a violent murder. It's not the first time that Franco has played gay on screen, but it looks set to be his most controversial role yet.

Express.

A masterclass in misleading clickbait.

Gay Porn: Money

Such lovely Aryan boys.

Trump Temptation: The Billionaire & The Bellboy

This is (sadly) a joke.

The Kindle erotic fiction 'novel' exists, but it's a measly 10 pages long, and the author, American comedian Elijah Daniel, says he dashed it off  one drunken evening.

Some of the reviews are almost funny...

Update: This was another of those stories where it's hard to find anyone that didn't cover it.

Coz Trump + Gay Sex = LOL!?

Michael Lucas: Is Disgusting - Official!

A gay porn star is being sued by the owner of a mansion that he rented for allegedly 'leaving enemas, sex toys and bodily fluids all over the property' after he made a hardcore movie.

Michael Lucas' film crew is being sued by the owner of the Acacia Mansion located in Ojai, California who allege he rented the property under false pretenses and pretended it was for a summer vacation.

The owner, Kristina Knapic, 45, alleges that Lucas rented the property under a fake name that looked like 'Anna' and showed up to take the keys by saying he was her brother in law.

And she alleges Lucas stayed there for five days and left 'Urine, semen and fecal matter on the linens, carpets, upholstery, walls, ceilings and in the hot tub.'

'Enema kits were found throughout the house- on the floors, in the beds, in nightstand drawers and in the trash,' the lawsuit claims.

It also stated 'Various sexual devices were found in the beds and in the trash...The hot tub water was brownish in color,' The Smoking Gun reported...

Mail Online.

Fagburn is all in favour of this far-right gay turd being sent to the chair for this.

Update: Warning graphic content!

Gay Porn: Movie

Back in 2007, porn director Bryan Kocis was found dead in his home, and two adult-film performers were tried and found guilty of his murder.

Now the gruesome saga is being turned into a film, King Cobra, by James Franco’s production company, Event Films.

Molly Ringwald and Christian Slater have already signed on to the film, but who will play the young men, Harlow Cuadra and Joseph Kerekes, at the heart of the scandal?

Those roles are still unannounced, but Queer Click (NSFW) reports Disney Channel star Garrett Clayton is playing Brent Corrigan, who began making films with Kocis when he was underage and became embroiled in a legal battle with the director.

Clayton appeared on the Disney Channel sitcom Jessie and Shake It Up, as well as the network’s TV movies Teen Beach Movie and Teen Beach 2...

NewNowNext.

Can't wait.

Note how the story here has become 'former Disney child star' meets 'gay porn', no matter how small his role may be - cos funny.

Good to see that Brent - aka Sean Paul Lockhart - is now a succesful proper actor.

Update: Brent's said on Twitter he wanted nothing to do with the film.

Liking porn is pretty normal for a man - can you imagine what Fatboy Fawkes Googles? - being a colossal corporate crook or a right-wing scumbag blobby blogger is not.

John Waters: Is It Porn Or Is It ART?

A mood of nostalgia permeates the exhibition. I ask him to explain an image of a crab. “There’s no such thing as crabs any more because young people don’t have pubic hair any more. So where did they all go? They’re extinct! So I had to bring them back.” He stands back from the image to get a better view. “It’d take a brave collector to hang that above their couch. I’d rather have crabs than bedbugs. You can get rid of crabs in a day.”

Waters is not just nostalgic for being hated then, but nostalgic for old school STDs. Another piece called Poultry consists of covers of old gay porn novels with the word “chicken” in the title and depicting young, nubile gay men in various states of rudery. Each book is from Waters’ extensive collection. “I guess nobody says chicken any more in that context,” says Waters wistfully. “Now the gay slang is twink.”

And then there’s the stroller I stumbled across when I entered the show. The restraining straps look like they’re from a bondage fetishist’s closet, and the seat is decorated with the names of gay clubs including The Toilet and Blow Buddies, the latter with its striking logo of a penis in mid-ejaculation. If only, I think, the gallery had a gift shop, this baby buggy would be a top seller.

This stroller, too, is nostalgic. “Those are all real places that existed in the 60s and 70s. But today in those neighbourhoods, like the Castro district in San Francisco, you see gay couples with strollers with kids. Who’d ever have thought it would happen?” Blow Buddies, I’m happy to relate, still thrives in San Francisco. “So I’m just putting them both together to celebrate the gay world and show things change and become even more confusing.” ...

The interview is titled John Waters: I want to be despised.

Must be frustrating then that these days he seems universally adored.

Gay Porn: Porn IRL

Gay Dad Watch: Won't Somebody Please Think Of Our Children!

Over the weekend, the New York Times published one of the most frustrating, yell-at-the-screen articles I’ve read in a long time. The piece, cheekily headlined “Chelsea’s Risqué Businesses,” explored an ongoing skirmish in Chelsea, a Manhattan neighborhood that used to be edgy and largely gay but that’s now mainly blanketed in the boringness of gentrification. The fact that no one actually thinks of 2015 Chelsea as particularly seedy, in a gay sense or otherwise, makes the battle—which apparently has sanctimonious gay parents trying to drive out gay porn/novelty shop owners in the name of the CHILDREN—all the more exasperating. But, as I explored in my recent long-form piece on the history and future of gay culture, the phenomenon of gay people attacking traditionally gay spaces and practices in the name of respectability is, sadly, nothing new. Indeed, it’s been the main mechanism by which much of the mainstream advocate class has tried to cajole “equality” from straight people in the wake of the first AIDS crisis...

Andreas Lubitz: Did Gay Porn Make Him Do It?

A police source in Dusseldorf said last night: “We have a team disassembling his computer, and that of his girlfriend.

“The information that we received was that he trawled the dark side of the web visiting, among other things, sites containing suicide themes and sexual perversions.”

Daily Star.

A police source in Dusseldorf revealed: "We have a team disassembling his computer, and that of his girlfriend, because the information that we received was that he trawled the dark side of the web visiting, among other things, sites containing gay porn, suicide themes and sexual perversions."

Although this is all a bit vague and tenuous, I must confess that whenever I crack one off over some first-rate gay porn, I am overcome by the urge to fly a plane into a French Alp, killing many.

Case closed!

Porn: The Following Content Is Not Acceptable

The following content is not acceptable from the 1st December 2014

Today marks the beginning of a new phase in a sustained campaign of internet censorship which has wide-reaching consequences beyond the mere production and consumption of pornography.

These new regulations impose even more draconian restrictions on the types of pornography that can be depicted on regulated Video on Demand services. Previously the Crown Prosecution Service’s Guidance on the OPA provided a list of sexual activities which were deemed illegal to publish.

However these new Regulations specifically state that only sexual content that is equivalent to the BBFC R18 Category can be sold via VoD service. This is a significantly lower threshold.

According to Nikki Whiplash, a regulated video on demand service provider who attended a recent ATVOD and BBFC led seminar on the impact of the new regulations, the following sexual activities will be deemed either acceptable or unacceptable at R18 classification level:

Watersports and Squirting
Peeing and squirting are acceptable if not performed onto another person and/or then consumed.

Squirting during sex or masturbation is acceptable if fairly brief, isolated and not deliberately consumed or put onto a body. It would be acceptable to imply that it was licked up if could be deemed as to be simulated.

Fisting

Fisting is not acceptable. Penetration with all five digits beyond last knuckle is not acceptable; but all five digits of two or more hands would be acceptable as long as not past last knuckle.

Ofcom have sought medical guidance on fisting and don't believe it to be a dangerous act to perform. However, as the CPS’ Guidelines specifically cite fisting as obscene the BBFC can't pass fisting for classification. The BBFC acknowledge that they are well aware of the decision in R v Peacock but are obliged to have regard to CPS’ OPA Guidelines.

Amputee Insertion
Since the BBFC haven't ever needed to consider amputee insertion, they reserve their position on the matter.

Enemas
Enemas are acceptable if once they are squirted out they don't hit anyone else and does not contain feces. It is not acceptable to subsequently lick up what has been expelled; unless this is simulated (for example switched for another substance).

Catheters
Catheterisation is acceptable, even if catheter connected to mouth; presuming that the tube is not transparent so that the liquid moving through cannot be seen.

Eating ejaculate
Any form of consumption of (male) ejaculate is acceptable.

Vomiting
Vomiting may be acceptable if it is not performed as part of a sexual act; and is not visibly enjoyed by the participants.

‘Public’ Sex
Should the content features any nudity or other activity which might outrage the public decency, then the BBFC must be assured that the material in question was shot on private land with no public access or shot abroad. However, simulating the impression that it is in public is acceptable, fir example a vehicle with tinted windows. The key consideration that the material has not been created in the public eye.

‘Age Play’
Anything which might ‘encourage’ incest or sex with children under the age of eighteen is absolutely unacceptable.

However school uniforms are acceptable presuming that there are no references to the performer pretending to be under eighteen; and participants clearly 'of legal age' and participating in a consensual adult role play

Weapons
Sexual activities performed at gunpoint are unacceptable if it is “believable”. This will depend on tone and believability. Basically if it looks like it could be a non-consensual activity then it is not acceptable.

Bondage and Restraint
Full bondage in conjunction with a gag is unacceptable, since there needs to be an obvious (to the viewer) means to signal to stop. Hence it is acceptable if not all four limbs are tied. Thus a means to indicate the withdrawal of consent must be visible to the viewer. For example full bondage and gagging would be acceptable if there is a safe signal which is defined as part of the scene.

Thus elements like artistic license, storyline and context become important. Hence a straightforward bondage scenario with no surrounding context is less likely to be acceptable than something with features a clearly signaled role play component.

BDSM Pain play
Acts which if copied by the uninitiated have the potential to cause injuries more than transient and trifling are extremely unlikely to be acceptable.

Only "moderate" pain play is acceptable. Thus reddening of the skin acceptable but no raised welts, blood and bruising are not.

Needle-Play
Needles are more likely to be considered acceptable as they only cause transient and trifling injury similar to legal tattooing.



Facesitting as Breathing Restriction
Facesitting employed as a breathing restriction or any other form of smothering is unacceptable. However, facesitting without breathing restriction is acceptable. There is no flexibility on this. The airways must remain open. Apparently the rationale for this distinction is that men trying this at home might die.

Ballbusting
Ballbusting may be acceptable, depending on the level. OFCOM recommend submitting clips in question for review. It will come down to definition of moderate pain and whether viewers at home are likely to sustain serious injury if they try it at home. Hence ball-yanking is not acceptable; whereas controlled ball stretching is acceptable.

Trampling

This will depend on the surface upon which the person is being trampled on.

Urethral Sounds
The insertion of urethral sounds is acceptable presuming that they are not inserted so far in as to enter the bladder; and that appropriate sterile and safety considerations are taken such as the use of lubricant and gloves.

Insertion of objects like buttplugs
The insertion of other objects is acceptable presuming that it is clear that they couldn't get. Hence the use of buttplugs is acceptable. Hence a clip of a mobile phone vanishing up an anus would not be acceptable, despite being a spoof, on the basis that people might try it at home.

Power Tools

The use of power tools is unacceptable, since most people have one lying around at home. However purpose designed “fucking-machines” are acceptable. The test in question is the 'association with violence'.

Head-Scissoring
Head-scissoring is acceptable, presuming that it is gentle. However, if it is seen to be pushing on the carotid restricting blood flow then it is not acceptable. Hence, choking sounds or reddening of face as a result are not acceptable. As soon as any pressure is exerted it would be considered a choke hold and therefore not acceptable.

Wrestling
Wrestling is acceptable only if knockout moves are not deployed. Facesitting and seemingly non gentle scissoring are not acceptable.

Gagging
Gagging on cock and deep throat are acceptable if not for the whole scene. However, language of the 'gag on my cock' variety is unacceptable due to the reference to choking.

COMMENTARY – THE CONSEQUENCES OF THIS CENSORSHIP

Pornography is the canary in the coalmine of free speech: it is the first freedom to die. If this assault on liberty is allowed to go unchallenged, other freedoms will fall as a consequence.

This declaration of State censorship will affect millions of consenting adults who choose to view British pornography; impose an unnecessary trade barrier, which has already caused independent UK producers to shut down; result in a significant loss of revenue to The Treasury; is practically unworkable as it can be circumvented by proxy servers; and has implications for all forms of freedom of expression on the internet.

Of particular concern in terms of loss of freedom is the underlying intent to allow undesirable foreign websites to be blocked under UK ISP’s filtering systems. This has immeasurable implications on freedom of information and net neutrality.

Today, Backlash have launched a campaign to challenge this régime of State censorship disguised as regulation.

Worth re-publishing at length for its sheer comedy value - the above is just a rough guide.

Please note this only applies to UK-made 'Video On Demand' (VoD) content - thus far... and if you've never seen British porn, well, you ain't missed much.

The whole thing is so silly, it can't stand.

Its affect will probably be slight, so I wouldn't get too hysterical about it - but as an example of our current state of anti-porn hysteria it speaks volumes.

For the status of other porn, please read Myles' article in full on his blog. He says he'll be posting soon on how these rulings will actually impact.

PS Other porn is available, and hotter.

David Hockney: Revolutionary

Of all the liberating pop icons of the swinging sixties there was only one who was so nonchalantly gay. John Lennon enjoyed cracking homophobic jokes, Monty Python included gay stereotypes among their silly voices, but Hockney in the early sixties was painting scenes of gay life with zero self-consciousness. There’s a story in the film about how he once had a stack of male nude magazines seized by customs. He refused to accept their judgment, protested and mocked and eventually hired a lawyer until his magazines were delivered to his door in a bag labelled “On Her Majesty’s Service”. When Lord Snowdon showed him round Kensington Palace he refused to sign the visitors’ book because “I don’t want my name in there come the revolution!”

Jonathan Jones profiles David Hockney in The Guardian. 

With Randall Wright's documentary, Hockney, now on release, Fagburn gets the distinct feeling this won't be the least we hear about David in the weekend newspapers.

'By 'eck, 'e's a bloomin' national treasure...' etc.

Sir John Gielgud: All Mouth And No Trousers

[Peter] De Rome, who died earlier this year, made gay pornography in New York from the 1960s onwards, at a time when homosexuality was illegal, and became the subject of the recent documentary Peter de Rome: Grandfather of Gay Porn. The documentary’s producer David McGillivray revealed details of a collaboration between De Rome and Gielgud at a recent Barbican retrospective of pulp director Pete Walker.

“Peter de Rome knew everybody when he was working, including John Gielgud, and John was so impressed with Peter’s work – which of course was porn – that he wrote Peter a screenplay,” McGillivray said. “Nobody knows anything about this script, it’s not in the John Gielgud letters, it’s not mentioned in the biographies, it’s an unknown script. John Gielgud’s only screenplay. So next year, we are going to make that.

“It’s called Trouser Bar. John Gielgud was obsessed with trousers, loved corduroy and leather. And so he wrote a film set in a menswear shop.” ...
