Business Features for Adult Industry Professionals

When the Whip Comes Down

As any savvy person will tell you, it takes more than just a funny hat and a profoundly perverse belief in abortion to be the pope. That same essential rule holds true in the world of fetish directors, the auteurs who bring consumers the pleasure of all that BDSM pain. In other words, it takes...... More »

Hardcore Kink Rules

I recently wrapped directing duties on Adam & Eve's "The Surrender of O," in which delectable contract star Bree Olson smokes as the 2.0 version of the most fabled icon in kink fiction. With fellow Adam & Eve players Kayden Kross and Ava Rose, supported by a fun-loving cast of kinksters, Bree...... More »

Kink on the Web

Imagine, if you will, the Internet as the fabled Trojan Horse. And instead of containing an invading army waiting to take over an unsuspecting city, let's say that the massive beast's structure is filled with pornography — XXX of all stripes, but particularly BDSM fetish material — with all......

Digital Piracy's Global Challenges

In the 2000s, one of the adult entertainment industry's biggest challenges has been DVD piracy. But with the adult industry becoming increasingly Internet minded and download minded — with Andrew Blake, Rob Black and other directors giving up DVDs and opting for digital-only distribution —......

With so much discussion of piracy, copyright protection and the rights of content producers swirling around the adult online industry these days, it is both surprising and annoying to some producers that their content rights are often completely ignored by both the pirates at large and their own......

Marketing BDSM

I don't know about you, but one of the first fantasies I had when I thought of pushing the edge of my sexual comfort zone had to do with silk scarves restraining my partner. Last time I checked, that is borderline bondage. Many people would never admit they are into bondage, because society has...... More »

Regulating U.K. Web Erotica

Editor's note: this article originally appeared in the May, 2008 issue of XBIZ World magazine In the U.K., there has been much discussion over how adult entertainment should be regulated on the Internet. Parliament has been considering some controversial legislation that would make it a felony...... More »

Glam and Gloss

What's it like being a contract girl? In my limited view, being a contract girl is like being in a polygamist marriage: We get involved because there is a mutual attraction that doesn't quite resemble true love (the company is attracted to our waist-to-hip ratios and marketability, we are......

Custom Videos

With countless DVDs released each year and the increasing number of niches within, one would think that there would be something for everyone. But fetishes are like bellybuttons (and, for some, bellybuttons are the fetish), so it is almost impossible to satisfy the vast market and its quirks...... More »

Tackling the Tubes

Recently, XBIZ World Magazine asked several industry players "How do you think the industry should deal with the tube site phenomenon?" Here's what they had to say: The key to tubes is you squeeze from the bottom, and then gradually roll them up as you use them. But if you mean Internet...... More »
