  • Students at the University of Texas at Austin are planning a provocative protest against a new gun law that forces the state’s public colleges and universities to allow firearms in their campus buildings. To protest the concealed carry law, UT-Austin students are preparing to strap “gigantic swinging dildos to our backpacks.” What the Houston Chronicle calls a ”strap in” will commence on Aug. 24, 2016 — the beginning of the school year and several days after the law takes effect in the state. The students’ call to action: “Cocks, not glocks.”

  • “Oh wow,” Jamie Lee Bracey says in the video, which has been viewed over 3 million times. He picks up a bottle of Gun Oil H2O, a personal lubricant that’s known for its targeted marketing to the gay community. “It says water-based lubricant for your gun.” According to Bracey, the product was mistakenly being sold at the Walmart gun counter in Florence, Alabama.

  • “A group of self-declared “fighters” campaigning under the banners “Porn Kills Love” and “Fight The New Drug” are spreading the word in San Francisco through their sleek website, billboards, and sidewalk chalk that Porn Is Bad, You Guys. But, in fact, this particular group of hipster posers are expressing not just anti-porn, but anti-sex rhetoric, spreading misleading and debunked information, hiding their religious affiliation (its founders are Mormon though they claim the group is not religious), and basically wasting their time and ours.”

  • Pornhub has introduced a new feature that it hopes will make it easier for people to identify revenge porn and request its removal. In a press release published today, the site announced a new online submission form that revenge porn victims can use to flag any explicit videos or images that were published without their consent. Previously, revenge porn takedown requests could only be filed through email.

  • A Liberian woman contracted Ebola in March by having sex with a survivor of the viral disease, researchers report. Using studies of both people’s viral genomes and of the people’s contacts with any other possible sources of the virus, the researchers conclude that the woman’s disease represents the first known case of sexual transmission of Ebola.

  • When a business responds to a woman’s complaint with a joke about fucking her — no matter her line of work — it’s beyond inappropriate. Nikita Bellucci tweeted Transavia – a subsidiary of Air France — earlier this week asking about her delayed flight from Budapest but was (rightfully) angered by the reply on Twitter.

  • Brian Sloan makes some of the tackiest sex toys on the market, and he knows it. He also doesn’t care. If you don’t know his name, you know him by his over-the-top products, equally innovative in both design and shock value. Sloan owns the company Very Intelligent E-Commerce, but what brought him into the internet’s limelight was the Autoblow, a robotic blowjob machine.

  • “Jessie” and her boyfriend, “James,” despite being computer-simulated software, are otherwise average in every way. She’s the amalgamation of more than 400 female body types; James represents the average man in height, weight, and, perhaps most important, in this particular situation, penis size. Together they’ll be e-trying the newest model of the We-Vibe.

  • I love Lorelei Lee so much. “Every time I meet a stranger, I do this math: How much do you know about me already? What, if anything, do you deserve to know? At a holiday party surrounded by women my age, by mothers in Saturday lipstick, I won’t lie exactly, but I will evade. If you tell me a dirty joke, I’ll pretend I haven’t heard it before. I never cash my checks with the teller anymore. My name is the last thing I will tell you.”

  • Ciao! Italy’s highest court has ruled that an employer cannot fire a worker for watching porn while on his lunch break. Today, the Supreme Court of Cassation rejected an appeal from FIAT, the man’s employer who terminated him, according to Live Sicilia.

  • “The stigma of being a sex worker has followed Lisa Ann [into her current, respected position in fantasy sports), and in her first year a woman called into the show to question her authority on fantasy sports. “She told me I was a whore, and said, ‘What makes you think you know anything about this?'” Ann said. The call was quickly cancelled and Ann brushed it off on-air, but it struck a nerve. What indeed gave her the right to step into this new world? “She’s put in the work,” Ronis says. “She’s earning respect in the fantasy community.”

  • In 2011, several years after retiring from a long career of professional running, Suzy Favor Hamilton, a three-time Olympian, began moonlighting as a high-end escort in Las Vegas. She made hundreds and sometimes thousands of dollars per hour and worked semi-anonymously, but several of her regular clients learned who she was, and within a year she was outed by a writer for the Web site The Smoking Gun.

  • MindGeek owns most major tube sites, including PornHub, YouPorn and Red Tube. Its network reaches over 100 million people every day. Each set of eyeballs tends to spend a substantial amount of time on the sites — over 10 minutes, in the United States. That kind of reach can produce massive profits from ad revenue alone.

  • Adult performers banded together [in August] to create The Adult Performer Advocacy Committee (APAC). With an educational focus, the Los Angeles-based meetings, which occur every other month, often begin with a panel of experts discussing specific topics, ranging from “how to deal with personal relationships while working in porn” to things like “banking for adult entertainers.”
