Wasteland's Colin Rowntree to Moderate #SexTalkTuesday

MANCHESTER, N.H. —  Colin Rowntree, founder of Wasteland.com, will serve as special guest moderator of tomorrow’s edition of Twitter-based chat show #SexTalkTuesday, to discuss pandemic sex tech.

Over the years, Rowntree has won numerous industry awards, including the 2018 XBIZ Legacy Award. He has also been lauded by Free Speech Coalition and other media outlets. In addition, Rowntree frequently contributes to adult industry trade publications, and has been featured in mainstream outlets such as Forbes, Rolling Stone, BBC, The Washington Post, Wired and more.

A #SexTalkTuesday rep said the show is “so excited to have a decorated porn industry veteran, sex tech pioneer — and proverbial ‘Lord of the Underworld’ — joining us this week to discuss various sex tech topics, and his recent triumphs with filming remotely during the COVID-19 pandemic.”

Rowntree recently released “Gone Viral,” a full-length dystopian parody feature that was shot on POV cams and directed entirely using Skype.

“When the pandemic first arrived and we closed up our regular studio film shooting on March 1,” the Wasteland honcho explained, “I was unclear as to how to develop new movies during this period — because obviously the demand for porn got even higher with everyone locked down."

"Then, one morning while ruminating in my ‘Lord of the Underworld Man Cave’ in New Hampshire, it occurred to me that with the right performer with some basic equipment, this would be something worth at least trying," he added. "I called June Ann, who is a clever real-life PhD virologist with whom I have worked for over a decade in her capacity as a kinky fetish performer.”

“Our process was very streamlined,” Rowntree continued. “We shot it that Friday with her in the midwest, and me directing in New Hampshire over Skype. I got the footage over Dropbox that night, edited and soundtracked the movie in 72 hours, and we released our first pandemic-era dystopian film the following week. Since then, we have done three episodes to that series and just released the full length feature ‘Gone Viral’ into the wild.”

According to the rep, Wasteland.com — launched in 1994 — is “the internet’s oldest BDSM site, and one of the few ethical porn options out there that openly caters to fans of kink and casts real-life BDSM players."

“Safe, sane and consensual fun is always key,” Rowntree offered, “and Wasteland is also happy to help fans educate themselves if they want to explore the lifestyle.”

Hosted and coordinated by Sssh.com, #SexTalkTuesday is held every second Tuesday of the month. Tomorrow’s show will be broadcast 5-6 p.m. (PDT).
