Boning-Up on V-Day Porn

Once the end-of-year holiday and sales bonanza has died down a little, store shelves lose their sparkling tinsel and multi-colored string lights for a decidedly more passionate hue: the red of eroticism, lustful fervor, and, yes, love most of all. In honor of the Roman Catholic patron of love, the engaged, and the married (as well as bee keepers, fainters, and epileptics, strangely enough), Valentinus of Rome, better known as Saint Valentine, February 14th is celebrated around the world by lovers, suitors, couples, and, in some rather odd ways, the lonely. You, wherever you fall on that spectrum of amorous satisfaction, have been blessed by the porn gods this year and can spend your Valentine’s Day “brief period of self-reflection” to abuse yourself with the following smutty V-day episodes:

– The first of three Brazzers scenes focusing on Valentine’s Day carnality hit Big Tits at School a few days ago and saw relatively new cocksman Jessy Jones reap the benefits of some lessons given to his anally inclined girlfriend Alby Rhydes by her teacher Alura Jensen, both of whom receive him in all passages for a V-day he’ll not soon forget.

– Over at Mommy Got Boobs, the incomparable Julia Ann offers her stepson (Jessy Jones again) a sample of what his dad’s been getting and teaches him a number of lessons in how to please a woman so he doesn’t take his girlfriend out for a lovely Valentine’s Night dinner only to end up in Dumpsville.

– Devon, the legendary blonde who recently returned to porn, is working late on V-day. Clearly pissed about her situation, she decides to simply make the most of her coworker Toni Ribas, who responds to her flashing by thrusting his instant erection into Devon’s throat, snatch, and asshole, because, as Brazzers says, “Valentine’s Day is all about spreading the love!”

– With most other significant sites and networks totally dropping the ball this year and apparently not bothering with Valentine’s Day at all, it has been left to the (kinda, sorta, maybe) amateurs to do things right: Home of the brightly-lit close-up POV blowjob, Amateur Allure is running a Valentine’s Day promotion that offers discounted monthly access ($25 down from $36) and the chance to see Kennedy Leigh 2014 AVN Award Winner (Best POV Sex Scene for Jules Jordan’s Ultimate Fuck Toy: Kennedy Leigh) in what promises to be an irresistible oral performance.

Who knows, maybe you can pre-game with these scenes before heading out for the night loaded with hope, condoms, and a throbbing pair of balls then try convincing your date to get adventurous in similar ways. (If you can pull that one off then, mister, you’re a better man than I.)

Brazzers Wants Your Gift Cards

Brazzers

There it was emblazoned across the bottom of a picture of Keisha Grey’s bountiful ass on the homepage at Brazzers HQ: “Trade Unused Gift Cards for Membership.” My jaw dropped. Could Brazzers really be telling me there’s a use for all those Starbucks and Target and Best Buy and (ugh) Marshalls gift cards my family members indifferently toss at me come Christmastime? Considering the ZZ sign-up process now includes the option to pay in the virtual currencies issued by everyone from Adidas and Aeropostale to Urban Outfitters, Victoria’s Secret, and even Wal-Mart and palmed off as thoughtless presents by pretty much everyone, I’d say that’s affirmative, wouldn’t you?

Brazzers opened this new avenue of payment in early January and has been Tweetin’ the news to its ten gazillion followers thusly:

When it comes to alternative methods of payment, the ZZ has some competition, though, as Naughty America recently announced that it would be accepting new members paying with bank checks and the controversial decentralized crypto-currency Bitcoin. With Bitcoin thrust under the nose of the CIA, the FBI, the DEA, the ATF (all the acronyms, really) due to deep-web markets like Silk Road, perhaps that seemingly useless stack of gift cards is indeed the wisest path of alternative porn-site payment. Brazzers assures its members the whole process will be painless and, aside from not getting the exact monetary value of the gift card in question, you’ll probably find it so. If you’ve got a $25 Starbucks card laying around, that’ll get you 16 days of access; a $200 Best Buy gift card earns you an insane 608 days of access!

And, bless ’em, the Brazzers team has made the whole transaction anonymous so you’ll never have to ‘fess up and admit to your dear old mother that the Williams-Sonoma gift card she gleefully presented you and your then-girlfriend with all those months ago didn’t make it anywhere near a Williams-Sonoma store and instead was used to ensure you wouldn’t have to miss Madison Ivy’s hotly anticipated, much ballyhooed upcoming anal debut right here at Brazzers. Whew.

AVN 2014: The Winners – The Women

2014 AVN Awards

Yeah, yeah. Nice work gents and congrats to all the movies that took home trophies at last month’s 31st annual AVN Awards in Las Vegas, but it’s the ladies we really discuss! The queens of cock-wrangling. The most lusted-after women in America. LA’s legal hookers and sex maniacs. However they’re regarded by the public at large, the most acclaimed women in US porn are the primary focus of the glitzy Las Vegas awards ceremony. And, with 2013 well and truly in the can, it’s clear who the year’s biggest winners are.

Bonnie Rotten

Taking home the most coveted award of the evening, Female Performer of the Year, raven-haired leather-punk princess and former AVN Award Trophy Girl, Bonnie Rotten (whose feature The Gangbang of Bonnie Rotten also took home Best Group Sex Scene) left behind the other trophies for which she was nominated (nine others including Best Anal, POV, Oral, Girl-Girl and Safe Sex Scenes) and instantly became porn’s baddest* (and most talked-about) female.

Also bringing in prominent and highly coveted awards were Best New Starlet Mia Malkova, Best Supporting Actress Brandy Aniston, Best Actress Remy LaCroix (The Temptation of Eve), and, taking home The Fan Award for Hottest Ass, Alexis Texas(s). April Flores was chosen BWW Performer of the Year, Shyla Jennings All-Girl Performer of the Year, Anissa Kate Female Foreign Performer of the Year, India Summer the MILF Performer of the Year, and the Unsung Female Performer of the Year was littleknown Presley Hart.

There were, of course, many other women applauded for their awarded work, but they’ll have to wait for another blog, one in which you, dear reader, will receive the full lowdown on what made the year’s best scenes the year’s best scenes and exactly what the ladies in discussion did to deserve a statue just like Bonnie’s on their very own mantle. Trust me, it’s pretty fucking noteworthy!

Perhaps the least visible but most relieved winner of the year, however, Melissa Makeup overcame a major setback when photos she snapped of pornstars without their stage faces on became a viral wtf-fest that caused many a rage-Tweeting pornstar; she was awarded the Best Makeup trophy for her work on Burning Angel’s Evil Head and continues to be employable.

Congratulations, ladies, and may your 2014s be as vibrant and successful as your 2013s.

* Not bad meaning bad, but bad meaning good, you know?

AVN 2014: The Winners – The Scenes

2014 AVN Awards We’ve got the guys and girls, the newly elected brightest stars in porn, well and truly covered here at Mr. Pink’s. So now let’s take a moment to take a closer look at what led the winners to the Hard Rock stage in Las Vegas this January. The movies, their directors and producers and gaffers and grips, and obviously the performers are all worthy of praise, of course, but it’s the scenes themselves, the sex itself, that is most worthy of our post-award ceremony attention – and what a smorgasbord of incredible sex we were treated to throughout the months of 2013.

Riley Reid and MandingoArguably the most prized of all scene-related trophies, Best Boy/Girl Sex Scene was awarded to Riley Reid and Mandingo in the latter’s Mandingo Massacre 6, while Best Girl/Girl Sex Scene went to Remy LaCroix and (once again) Riley Reid for Girl Fever. Group activity remained a highly contested arena but saw Bonnie Rotten and four of porn’s most vital men take home Best Group Sex Scene for their work in The Gang Bang of Bonnie Rotten, while the Best All-Girl Group Sex Scene trophies went home with Gracie Glam, Raven Rockette, and Mia Malkova for their feline-inspired turn in Jenna Haze’s Meow! 3.

In her first anal scene for Hard X’s Anikka, the blonde Ms. Albrite took on her real-life partner Mick Blue and expanded her career prospects and audience in the process. Winner of Best Oral Sex Scene, Skin Diamond, also took home the award for Best Double Penetration Sex Scene also from her self-titled Elegant Angel feature, taking both Marco Banderas and Prince Yahshua simultaneously. Remy LaCroix didn’t stop at Girl/Girl and was also awarded a trophy for her three-way with Manuel Ferrara and this year’s AVN mainstay Riley Reid in a scorching scene from Remy 2. Best Solo Sex Scene went to Maddy O’Reilly for her turn as sexually frustrated Kansas farm girl Dorothy Gale in Not the Wizard of Oz XXX and, after being appointed one of Jules Jordan’s Ultimate Fuck Toys, sweet-faced newcomer Kennedy Leigh shone in the year’s Best POV Sex Scene in her self-titled installment of the same series, ably assisted (and seduced, and penetrated, and decorated) by Jordan himself in one of his best recent efforts.

Apparently one of the new categories for 2014, Best Safe Sex Scene was awarded to husband and wife pair, Brad Armstrong and Jessica Drake for their condom-clad humping in Wicked Pictures’ Sexpionage: The Drake Chronicles, but, as is usually the case with the pornographic arts, that scene was nowhere near as memorable or mind-blowing as one on the opposite end of the spectrum. Ever the forward-looking entrepreneurs, Kelly and Ryan Madison joined with one of porn’s most debauched women, Chanel Preston, for 2013’s Most Outrageous Sex Scene. Matched with a hard-fucking, multiple-load-shooting machine in Ryan, the glamorously gussied-up Chanel sweats, gasps, cries, whimpers, and quivers through one hell of a rough scene in the Madisons’ cinematic feature Get My Belt.

If that doesn’t give you enough stellar smut to last until next year (with repeat viewings, naturally), then mister, I just don’t know what to do for ya.
