Belladonna To Pope: "Let Me Save Your Soul ... With Porn"

Pope Benedict XVI arrived in Australia this month on a special visit for World Youth Day, but his visit coincided with the journeys of an even bigger Earthly presence—Belladonna. This was her fifth visit Down Under (that's four more than the Pontiff) and as she prepared for sex week's Sydney Sexpo she had a few words of advice for the Holy Father. "The Pope has indicated he might apologize to victims of sexual abuse and that is a positive thing to do," she said, "but unless he follows up with some practical advice that addresses the sexual needs and desires of clergy, the problem will simply continue." Wait, that actually ... makes perfect sense. More »

Recognizing that legal prostitution makes sex workers safer from violence, rape and STDs, South Africa has decided to lift the ban on the sex industry in their country ... but only for one month, during the 2010 World Cup. Don't worry, after all the hooligans tourists are gone they'll go right back to making it dangerous and illegal. (bbc.co.uk, via Deadspin)

Sometimes we say good-bye to porn stars ... and sometimes we're lucky enough to welcome them back. Brittany O'Connell has returned to the adult industry after a ten year hiatus, which just goes to show you—sometimes wishes really do come true. (lisaannstalentmanagement.com + avn.com)

Neighborhood Nosy Parker Ruins It For Everyone If only Samantha Stevens were around, Rich Pacheco might've been foiled! Unfortunately, Samantha is a fictional character, so Pacheco's call to the Greenburgh, New York Police Department was answered, and two naked guys—one of whom is was a principal at the Sacred Heart School for the Arts in Mount Vernon, NY—were arrested on charges of public lewdness, trespassing, and disorderly conduct. And somehow, it all started with a Manhunt hookup! See what Fox News had to say about the whole shenanigans after the jump.

An Australian teacher was fired for this tasteful—but (sorta) nude—photo and a story about her sex life in a woman's magazine. Hey, at least there's one teacher who you know for a fact is not sleeping with her students. (livenews.com)

"Men On A Mission": Did One Mormon Go Too Wild?

Looks like not everyone finds hot shirtless Mormon guys as sexy as we do: LDS officials have excommunicated "Men On A Mission" calendar creator Chad Hardy for his "'inappropriate' indiscretion" and for portraying his fellow Mormons in a way that is "not the image the church wants to have", even if we already said that we'd totally be paying more attention to those itinerant missionaries if they all looked like this. (Interestingly, none of the models who posed for the calendar were disciplined.) Not to worry, Chad—you can join our church any time you like. Just be sure to bring a few of those friends along with you, k? (postchronicle.com; more "Men On A Misssion" here)

Oh, The Humanity! Authorities in London were left with over 40,000 unlicensed porn DVDs that were seized along with adult magazines and sex toys in recent raids, and their solution for dealing with the two tons of fap material was to (gasp) burn them in an incinerator? Maybe if we promised to give them a good home they won't have to resort to such drastic measures the next time. (24dash.com)

And another friendly reminder to everyone itching to look at smut on their shiny new iPhones today: you can check out Fleshbot's previous iPhone porn coverage here, here, here, here, and here, among other places. Assuming you got yours activated, that is; otherwise you're just going to have to get your fap on the old fashioned way. Ever hear of this thing called the internet?

This Week In Sexually Charged Work Environments A 54-year-old male exotic dancer in Ohio says he's being blackballed from gigs by his employer, Naughty Bodies (yes, you read that right), because he refused to have sex with people (male and female) he was dancing for. We'd have thought a 54-year-old male exotic dancer would've been grateful to get any gigs at all in the first place, but what do we know about what people in Ohio like to watch?

Former tough guy actor Sonny Landham, who is running for governor Senate in Kentucky, had bit parts in several 1980s movies like "Poltergeist," "48 Hours" and "Predator" ... oh, and a few hardcore porn flicks earlier in his career too. He's not ashamed to admit it either, because that would still make him only the third weirdest member of the "Predator" cast to be elected governor of a U.S. state.

How Sex Surrogates Give You Good Loving

The use of sexual surrogates is a little-understood practice, mostly because there's hardly anybody out there who does it these days. At first glance, it sounds pretty sweet: you hire a professional therapist to come over to your house and help get you off in a completely legal arrangement where you get to avoid using ugly words like "hooker" and "cash only." Heck, your insurance might even cover it! More »

The slumping economy means fewer customers at strip clubs, but ironically enough, it also means more strippers since the pay is still better than most other jobs (which you can't get anyway, because the economy stinks.) The moral of the story? Ask about getting your unemployment checks in stacks of singles. (tbo.com; thumb via lust-hero.net, via Ask Jolene)

A private Japanese company has announced that they will host weddings in space for the tidy sum of $2.3 million (just as soon as they figure out that whole "getting homemade rockets into space" thing.) You know what that means? Honeymoon sex in orbit! Makes that time you eloped to Vegas look pretty silly, doesn't it? (space.com)

Here in America, we have to pay to watch cable porn — but in New Zealand, they're just giving it away for free, mixed in with the rugby games. Some countries have all the luck. (news.bbc.co.uk; thumb via Ask Jolene)

When it comes to sex work, the high price of gas isn't just affecting business in Nevada brothels; apparently, it's also a factor in the recent arrest of one Kentucky woman for prostitution after she allegedly exchanged sex for cash and a $100 fuel card. Which is all the more reason to just stay at home and look at porn on the interweb when you want to get off, but of course we would say that. (thesmokinggun.com)

Xiao Yun's Arousing Fundraising

A few weeks ago we told you the story of a young Chinese woman who started posting scantily clad pictures of herself online to raise money for earthquake relief. Well, it seems that Xiao Yun's charitable work has garnered more attention than she originally intended, or at least a different type of attention: police in Thailand have been monitoring her picture posting (for strictly professional reasons, of course) and it seems they're trying to make sure that none of her charity passes over into Thai web space, where risqué material is strictly verboten.

So what kind of photos would put the Thai police force on high alert? After the jump, a gallery of some of Xiao Yun's saucier photos. (OK, so they're nothing we'd happen to consider calling out the authorities for. But then, we're not living in Thailand, are we?

Gay Porn Agent Takes Over The World! One reason why we like being involved in the gay porn business so much (especially from a distance) is how charmingly old-fashioned it can be sometimes: all that talk about studios and agents and exclusive contracts reminds us of those glamorous and exciting days of old Hollywood! And we sort of felt that same twinge of excitement yesterday when we learned that superagent David Forest (who was responsible for managing such luminaries as Zeb Atlas, Mark Dalton, and Johnny Castle) had retired and sold his business to rival agency FabScout Entertainment (who manages pretty much everyone else): we imagined long negotiating sessions in smoke-filled rooms with a ceiling fan spinning slowly overhead and a secretary in a pillbox hat transcribing the proceedings in the background, even if the reality probably involved a lawyer's office in the Valley and great expanses of beige wall-to-wall carpeting. Still, it means that FabScout's talent lineup will now include just about every major porn star you've jerked off to over the past couple of years—and we can't think of anything more glamorous than that.

Ellicott City, Maryland, has spent 11 years battling "The Pack Shack" adult store and all they've managed to do is pass a few unconstitutional laws and give $187,000 in tax money to the store's owners. But at least now they can choose from a fine selection of used paperbacks to go with the sex toys and lingerie. Maybe City Hall just can't fight a determined sex shop? (baltimoresun.com)
