AVN 2013: The Big Winners Pt. 1: The Men

2013 AVN AwardsNow that the porn industry’s annual celebration of all things carnal has come to an end, it’s time to congratulate those who sucked, fucked, shot, or produced their way into the winner’s circle of the 2013 AVN awards, “the Oscars of porn”, and the one event every year that combines porn, comedy, music, and red carpet garment-ogling in one pretty package.

Notable men winning awards this year weren’t just those who show the world their penis on a near-daily basis. Arguably the biggest male winner was Graham Travis, director of 2012 AVN winner Portrait of a Call Girl. This year, Travis’ Elegant Angel feature Wasteland took home awards for Best Cinematography (Alex Ladd, Carlos D., Mason), Best Drama, and Movie of the Year, as well as Best Screenplay, Best Editing, and Best Director for Travis himself.

Axel Braun’s Star Wars XXX: A Porn Parody nabbed awards for Best Art Direction, Best Parody – Comedy, Best Screenplay – Parody (Braun and Mark Logan), Best Selling/Renting Title of the Year, Best Supporting Actor (Tom Byron), Best Overall Marketing Campaign – Individual Project, Best Director – Parody for Braun (his first award in that particular category), and Best Director – Body of Work for Braun, his second in as many years.

Performers awarded trophies this year include Mark Ashley for Unsung Male Performer of the Year, Rocco Siffredi for Male Foreign Performer of the Year, Logan Pierce for Best Male Newcomer, and Steven St. Croix for Best Actor. The greater glory, that of the Male Performer of the Year went to James Deen, who in a gracious speech thanked “every director who hires [him]… any girl that will have sex with [him].” Deen also won for Crossover Star of the Year in a tie with Sunny Leone, and with one of the reasons for that accolade (Paul Schrader’s film The Canyons) inching closer to release, Deen’s star is only on the rise.

No Nudes is Bad News

San Francisco has long been one of the most sexually liberal cities in the United States, from the ’60s Free Love and ’70s gay rights movements to the city’s (relative) welcoming of Kink.com, but that could be changing when a new law banning public nudity comes into effect on February 1st.

“Hold up, bro,” I hear you say, “public nudity was legal in San Francisco?” I take it your travels never took you to the Castro District’s unofficial “clothing optional space” on the corner of Castro and Market Streets. Mine did and, man, was it an entertaining intersection. Wandering down there during a stint living in the vicinity of the Castro, I’d see shirtless men enjoying a Friday afternoon beer with friends, homeless people spacing out on the (chained and locked) steel chairs as commuters walked by doing their best to ignore undesirables, and even a lonely 1970s Teisco electric guitar in want of an owner. I also saw plenty of freely swinging dicks, many pierced in the Prince Albert style. Nobody seemed to mind much – we are in the heart of SF’s most outlandish community, after all – and it wasn’t entirely uncommon to see folks strip off and soak up the sun in the small corner court. Sure, some visitors to the area seemed appalled at the gratuitous displays of genitalia, but city law protected public exhibitionism as long as it wasn’t explicitly sexual – naked guys having a chat, sure; a naked guy with an erection, no dice – and it was eventually accepted by most as one of the more unique cultural attractions of San Francisco.

Now, those nudists, both part-timers and, like activist Gypsy Taub, the vastly more dedicated, who once went without “proper” attire for pleasure are stripping off in protest of a law that will ban public displays of the naked human form. Author of the ban, Scott Weiner, a candidate for the County Board of Supervisors is facing tough opposition, but likely nothing he’ll take too seriously, as protestors challenge his controversial new law. While the County Board of Supervisors narrowly voted the bill into effect, the nudists have one final protest planned… and we’re all invited!

Want to keep SF nude-friendly? Get your naked ass to the San Francisco Federal Courthouse (450 Golden Gate Ave, 17th floor, Courtroom #5) at 1.30pm on Thursday, January 17, where the nudists will have their case against the City of San Francisco heard by Judge Edward M. Chen. Who knows, you could end up immortalized on YouTube in all your (censored) naked glory like the valiant crusader for liberty and freedom seen below.

A Very Brazzers Christmas & New Year

Never willing to be outdone by the competition, Brazzers has followed Naughty America’s lead in releasing its very own Christmas scene. Unfortunately for the infamous ZZ, Naughty America’s office-set four-way not only beat Brazzers’ version by launching on Christmas Day (not two days after Christmas), it also put Brazzers MILF-laden scene to shame with a cast of stellar performers of difference ages and sexual styles. Where Brazzers cast Krissy Lynn, Tanya Tate, Chanel Preston, and Nicole Aniston – all of whom are fine performers, by the way – Naughty America hired Lexi Belle, Brandi Love, Madison Ivy, and Veronica Avluv for a generation gap-bridging quartet that simply cannot be beat.

While missing the boat with (an admittedly quite strong) Christmas effort, Brazzers may have simply been waiting until another holiday rolled around, one constituting more familiar territory for the always-partying revelers behind the ZZ brand. That’s right, folks, Brazzers has unleashed a double-header to cure even the most severe New Year’s Day hangover. Nikki Benz and Alexis Ford square up against Manuel Ferrara and Keiran Lee in a Pornstars Like it Big scene so ribald it’ll have you waiting with bated breath as the girls become increasingly horny the closer it gets to the celebrated midnight hour. Meanwhile, over at Real Wife Stories, Brazzers tells of Vanilla Deville, a woman so sexually frustrated she needs the biggest party night of the year to finally realize her inner slut. Making a resolution to “meet new people and fuck more guys”, Vanilla certainly isn’t wasting the carnal opportunity of the year, not at a party with Johnny Castle and Erik Everhard in attendance.

So, dear reader, it seems Brazzers just isn’t the kind of company to throw everything into a scene celebrating the most over-celebrated holiday in the Western World and instead jumps at the chance to create pornographic parties that put even Hef’s to shame. Why not ring in the New Year with two choice Brazzers cuts?

A Naughty America Christmas Pt. 3

Naughty AmericaBefore the arrival of that one day every year you’re not only allowed to stuff yourself full of delicious food but are given lavish gifts by your loved ones, Naughty America posted four scenes designed to have you Jingle Bell Rock-ing your cock like you never had before. Lexi Belle, Veronica Avluv, Brandi Love, and Madison Ivy each took turns to give their boss, Bill Bailey, rather salacious Christmas gifts, each one catering to his sexual desires better than the last. It took the arrival of December 25th for Bailey to get the biggest, most awe-inspiring gift of all, though, and it was a gift he shared with the rest of us.

Lexi, Brandi, Veronica, and Madison may have spent the days preceding Christmas fighting over raises, holiday bonuses, and who snagged their boss in the Secret Santa draw, but the holiday itself, a day of giving and receiving and the sharing of love, the four women joined forces to present their boss with a gift he’ll certainly never forget. After sitting around waiting for Bailey to show up to their office Christmas party, the girls all revealed their deep, dark secrets: that they’d each individually banged their superior. Throwing themselves into the Christmas spirit, the girls decide to launch themselves en masse upon Bailey’s cock as soon as he show up – and launch themselves they do. Unwrapping his presents one-by-one, Bill soon learns that the true meaning of Christmas doesn’t lie in the receiving of gifts, but in their giving, presenting his employees not with financial bonuses, but ejaculatory ones. Thankfully, they don’t seem to mind an iota.

jennijohnnyvert_scene_hugeIf you’ve had your fill of the Christmas season – and I can’t say I blame ya – then Naughty America has another holiday treat in store for you, one that doesn’t involve red and white hats, tinsel, or sleigh bells, just Jenni Lee recovering from a NYE hangover by fucking the brains out of pizza delivery guy Johnny Castle. And to thank their loyal followers and members, Naughty America is offering a New Year’s special: one month of membership for just $14.95. Now that you know how, why not start the year off right?
