    Jesse Jane Tells The Best Stories

    We've been saving this clip for a rainy day, because frankly, it doesn't really have much to do with anything. It's not newsy, it's not topical, and there isn't even any actual porn in it. Yet, it's still pretty much the hottest thing you'll see (or hear) today. We simply sat pornstar supreme Jesse Jane in front of a camera and asked her to tell us a sexy story. Spoiler Alert! She delivered.

    CBS At AVN: They Silenced Our Sasha!

    Genial "CBS This Morning" host Bill Geist was one of the less bitter media types covering the (yes, we're still talking about it) AVN Awards, but even he could not see clear to airing his short interview with Sasha Grey, which went like this:

    Geist: What is it like to win an "Oscar of Porn"?
    Grey: It's just so fucking good to be finally fucking appreciated.

    CBS' coverage of the awards was bemused rather than mocking, which is a step up from the attention porn usually receives from the mainstream world.

    Welcome Back, Lorelei Lee

    Because I am married to the church, it is permissible to have innocent crushes. That is why it was ensaddening when Lorelei Lee announced a hiatus from porn last year that I was certain would be permanent. I admit that I am dubious of some people who call themselves "sex positive", thinking that a more accurate term might be "fraudulent" or at the very least "intolerant", but for me Lee is the real deal, writing about her work as a porn performer with insight, vulnerability, and a sadder-but-wiser tone that still remains hopeful.

    Join us after the gap to find out what she's been up to. More »

    Sasha Grey, Performer Of The Year: An Appreciation


    There were a few surprises at the 2008 AVN Awards last Saturday night: Bree Olson winning Nest New Starlet! Jenna getting booed by the crowd! All those empty seats! But as far as we can tell, pretty much everyone agreed that no one deserved to win the Performer of the Year award as much as Sasha Grey ... and fortunately, she did. Intelligent, poised, and downright nasty when she wants to be, Sasha is truly a new breed of porn star, one who has just as much genuine star quality while defending the adult industry on a daytime talk show as she does while choking on an outsized set of genitalia in a movie like "Babysitters", for which she also picked up a trophy this weekend. (Oh, and did we mention she's left-handed too?) Follow along as we take another look at some of Sasha's career highlights over the past year and a half, and join us in congratulating her on an award well won. (Not like we didn't see it coming or anything.) More »

    Girls And Their Gadgets: Because Porn Stars Like Shiny Things Too

    Tech geeks that we are at heart, we have to admit that it was a little frustrating being in Las Vegas last week and not being able to get into the Consumer Electronics Show with our AVN Expo passes to check out all those shiny new toys. (Yes, we know there were even more folks in the completely opposite position than we were; we believe this is what's called irony or something.) But that doesn't mean there wasn't plenty of technolust happening on the porn side of things: aside from all those buzzing devices we saw ourselves, the folks at AOL's Switched.com managed to get up close and personal with almost two dozen of the adult industry's shiniest lights to find out which gizmos turned them on the most. Predictably, sex toys like Silver Bullets and Magic Wands are the most frequently mentioned, but it's making us all tingly knowing that Jenna Haze loves her PSP as much as we do. Maybe we can challenge her to some ad hoc network play sometime?

    Meet Jean Laconia: A Star Is Born


    Jean Laconia was both of the AVN Expo and not of the AVN Expo this year, as the 18-year-old Connecticut native was visiting Las Vegas for the first time and shot what she said was her first professional porn scene ever in a cramped room at Treasure Island. Jean is a stripper in Massachusetts, but is going to be making the move to Los Anghles shortly. In fact, she's shooting for Vivid this very day.

    Postcards From Las Vegas: Last Gasps


    If you're starting to get a little sick of our continued 2008 AVN Expo and Awards coverage, especially now that the event is over ... well, stop and take a moment to consider how we must feel: we've been back from Vegas for two days already and we still can't get the lingering scent of melon body spray and crowd sweat out of our nostrils, which are still encrusted with various substances from endless hours spent in all that climate-controlled recirculated desert air. (Yeah, that's it.) And just like we keep on finding business cards in our pockets from people we have no recollection of ever meeting, we still have a bunch of photos on our hard drives that we really ought to post before things get too stale around here; what they may lack in up-to-the-moment freshness they more than make up for in their value as part of the historical record And isn't being, um, historical what going to a porn expo and taking pictures is all about?

    Lest we forget ... check out the last batch of photos from this year's AVN Expo by Jeff Koga after the jump. More »

    Bree Olson Totally Earned That Trophy


    The delightfully sunny Bree Olson has been a fixture of the masturbatory fantasies of so many for so long that it came as a surprise for some folks last Saturday to learn that she had been awarded the Best New Starlet trophy at this year's AVN Awards, not so much because of that "best" aspect as for the "new" part: as one commenter noted in our awards show liveblogging coverage, "Is (she) that new? It seems like I have been rubbing 'em out to her forever." Such confusion is understandable: while an exhaustive ten second search of the Fleshbot archives shows that we did indeed introduce you to her almost exactly a year ago to the week, she'd been appearing on various hardcore paysites and in films like Smash Pictures' "Whale Tale #3" for several months prior to that, and well in advance of her signing as a contract girl for Adam and Eve—which we suppose is really what qualified her for her Best New Starlet nomination, at least on the dotted line.

    As for her other qualifications for winning? Well, all you have to do is take another look at some of the Bree Olson sightings we've posted about over the last twelve months to see for yourself why she deserved the honor. We have a feeling you won't question her eligibility after that. More »
