Mile High Madness

Mile High Media

Every year, basketball fans go gaga over March Madness, the CBS and Turner Sports-produced coverage of the NCAA Men’s Division I tournament and clog up the airwaves with stuff that bores the crap out of anyone without a raging hard-on for athletic competitions. Those of us with our minds squarely in the gutter can now compete with basketball fans thanks to Mile High Media’s annual social media-based fan-voted popularity contest: Mile High Madness.

The 2014 competition was launched back in December when fans were invited to submit the names of the pair that would star in their perfect fantasy porn scene. After announcing a field of 64 pairs and asking fans to vote for their favorites, Mile High Media took in a huge number of votes and whittled the field down to eight final pairs, two each for the major Mile High-branded studios: Chanel Preston/Lex Steele and Alina Li/Eric Everhard for Reality Junkies, Riley Reid/Eric Everhard and Sarah Shevon/Tommy Gunn for Open Life, Natalia Starr/Zoey Monroe and Lily Cade/Charlotte Stokely for Sweetheart Video, and Skin Diamond/Steven St. Croix and Adrianna Chechik/Tommy Gunn for Sweet Sinner. While all finalists should be congratulation on their fan-voted popularity, it’s the winners that deserve our full adulation. Will Charlotte Stokely and Lily Cade please take the stage?

Charlotte Stokely and Lily Cade

Mile High Media promises to shoot and release scenes starring all four finalist pairs, we can presumably expect Mss. Cade and Stokely’s very promising encounter to land at Sweetheart Video, one of porn’s essential lesbian studios, where it’ll be in stellar company. Voters are well looked after, too, with those responsible for submitting the names of any finalist pairs receiving a free six-month pass to their favored studio’s website while whoever submitted the overall winner will receive six months free at all four: Sweetheart Video, Sweet Sinner, Reality Junkies, and Open Life.

The Return of Missy Monroe

Missy Monroe

Hair cropped short, sharp and dyed blonde, with a curvy natural figure, a filthy mouth, and one of the most ferocious performing styles in US porn, Missy Monroe made quite an impact during her tenure as an adult performer. She even earned a remarkable 18 industry award nominations but never managed to walk away with an individual trophy. Then, as soon as she’d appeared on the scene and astounded viewers worldwide, Missy Monroe left a promising career in porn (both in front of and behind the camera) for the relative anonymity of “real life.” Now, after almost eight years on the sidelines, Missy’s back and bolder than ever!

Returning with a fuller figure, amazing 36DDD – TRIPLE-DEE, DUDES! – breasts, and some new colorful ink work, Missy seems intent on picking up where she left off. And that means plenty of flowing bodily fluids, expanded orifices, and multi-partner romps that would leave most regular women sore and complaining for a week. Having already this year shot for Jules Jordan, Devil’s Film, and Score Group and earned an XRCO Award nomination for Best Cumback – which she lost to her friend Sunny Lane – it shouldn’t be long before we see Missy’s adventurous self in some commanding hardcore work. But with the current generation of newcomers jumping into Missy’s old routine (squirting, anal, double-vag, DPs, double-anal, gangbangs etc) mere weeks after debuting, can she keep up with the porn of 2014?

Swimming with HIV+ Sharks

Viral LoadsAdult entertainment depicting sex between men has long flirted with the horribly depressing state of HIV infection by writing “poz” characters into scenes to ratchet up the already steaming tension of an illicit encounter. But now gay porn studio Treasure Island Media has delved to an all-new industry-wide low with the announcement of upcoming bareback feature Viral Loads. (Settle your stomachs, folks, ’cause this one should be approached with caution.)

Poz cum

As noted on the blogs of porno pundit Mike South and Str8 Up Gay Porn, Viral Loads, which stars Derek Parker, Drew Sebastian, Blue Bailey, Dayton O’Connor and Logan Stevens, includes a scene that sees said performers among those ejaculating into a lidded, glass receptacle emblazoned with a curious label: “poz cum.” Now, it must be said that not all men spunking into the jar have declared themselves HIV-positive, but most have and the scenario leaves little untarnished by the infection-focused plot (as it were). This isn’t charity, though, and the jar isn’t going to auction to raise awareness; it’s being poured into the waiting rear passage of Blue Bailey himself, as this charming promotional gif illustrates:

Viral Loads

Openly HIV positive performer and Viral Loads guiding light, Blue Bailey said in an October 2013 interview, “With Treasure Island, they let us [performers] do what we want.” And, according to an unattributed quote published by Str8 Up Gay Porn, it was all Blue’s idea to begin with: “Blue Bailey got in touch with me the next day and said he wanted some kind of man-worship initiation. So I took a few days to set it up. When he enters the room, he knows he’s in for a real rite of passage. The willing, hungry lad gets gang-fucked by a roomful of studs. Most are poz, some are neg. Who the fuck cares? Not Blue, that’s for fuckin’ sure.”

Maybe he doesn’t, but I’m sure Cal/OSHA will. Treasure Island, on the other hand, clearly cares about something: the frenetic shooting style, disorienting angles, and aggressively decomposed DVD and title design makes it very difficult to believe Treasure Island isn’t doing its darndest to solidify intentional infection and transmission of HIV-carrying bodily fluids as not only entertainment, but the gay hardcore equivalent of a slasher flick.

Cleaning the Web of Porn in PRC

Revealing its latest plans to eradicate erotica from the reach of Chinese citizens and residents, the National Office Against Pornographic and Illegal Publications, declared on Sunday that its latest endeavor, called ‘Cleaning the Web 2014’ will execute investigations of all things Internet – including websites, mobile apps, TV set-top boxes, usb connectivity sticks, and search engines – in the hopes of shuttering an adult content for good.

Due to run until November 2014, Cleaning the Web 2014 will see state bodies the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Ministry of Public Security, and the State internet Information Office working with the aforementioned anti-porn office to detect and delete any and all pornography found.

Whether or not this latest effort will work, however, is anyone’s guess. Similar efforts have in recent years failed to sufficiently quell the proliferation of online pornography available to those behind the Great Firewall of China, keeping the People’s Republic happily (but discreetly) fapping away and the likes of Alina Li leaving the homeland in favor of the relative sexual freedom of the United States’ adult entertainment industry.
