When Prince Yahshua Broke His Dick

You’ve not doubt heard horror stories taking place in otherwise enticing, intimate situations that resulted in gushing blood and a trip to the emergency. Yes, folks, the dreaded “broken dick” happens to more men than would admit to it, but there’s one man who’s apparently more than happy to discuss his now fully recovered member’s battle with the break. No, I’m not talking about MMA fighter Ray Elbe who broke his penis fucking his girlfriend in Malaysia late last year. I’m talking about this guy…

Prince Yahshua

Prince Yahshua, who’s official Pornstar Platinum website recently went under the ol’ Pink-O-Scope, was mid-scene, fucking Bethany Benz when he and everyone else on set heard a sharp crunching sound. Blood gushed from Prince’s penis and was later described with the poor fella as being “like five to six people got massacred in the room; not killed, massacred”. Biting his lip to maintain his consciousness, Prince was rushed to hospital where he was told he’d lost a pint-and-a-half of blood and would require 32 stitches to repair his torn urethra.

The doctor who performed the usually 80 or 90 minute procedure took a little longer with this patient, allegedly because he both knew who he was and was a fan of Prince’s work! After three hours under the knife and another three days in hospital recovering, Prince and his new friend, the catheter, headed home for a sex-less recuperation. When I asked the Silverback Entertainment head honcho how long his recovery took, he responded as matter-of-factly as I’m sure anyone who’s suffered such a debilitating and potentially embarrassing injury would…

So, while you might think you’ll be safe from “the ol’ crack and gush” by sticking to standard sexual positions, avoiding additional partners, avoiding larger women, and watching your pre-sex hydration, think again. Prince Yahshua, one of the biggest and hardest working men in porn, broke his dick fucking the gorgeous and slim Bethany Benz (134 lb) in that second most common girl-on-top positions, reverse cowgirl. Clearly, when it comes to broken dicks, no man is absolutely safe.

Kelly Shibari Runs New York

Kelly ShibariKelly Shibari, the Japanese American BBW pornstar who recently thrust her debut headlining feature, Kelly Shibari is Overloaded, into the world, has embarked on a promotional tour of New York that sees her hosting, guesting, and otherwise involving herself in a variety of no doubt erotically charged situations.

By the time you read this, however, there’ll only be a few appearances left. So, if you want to meet, greet, and (for foot fetishists) ogle the feet of this pornographic trailblazer and tireless self-promoter, get yourself down to Anthology Film Archives at 2.30pm on March 2 for CineKink’s Feminist Porn Panel, which sees Kelly join Tristan Taormino, Candida Royale, porn scholar Mireille Miller-Young, and performers Courtney Trouble and Sinnamon Love for a discussion focusing on their collective contributions to The Feminist Porn Book: The Politics of Producing Pleasure.

The last appearance, also on March 2, that Kelly Shibari plans on making in NYC is set to blow roof off one of the city’s most eclectic nightclubs, The Cutting Room. As a guest on The Robin Byrd Show Live!, Kelly will join cable television legend Robin Byrd, chanteuse Broadway Brassy and handful of other performers for what promises to be a riotously sexy time. Tickets are available now.

For those outside of NYC, you can catch Kelly on The Down and Dirty Show, broadcast live at 9pm EST on February 28 via Aquanet Radio, TuneIn, and IHeartRadio, where she’ll trade stories with hosts Rich & Ellis before getting up relatively early for a shoot with the legendary Ellen Stagg.

Until then, you can always find Kelly on Twitter and on her award-winning adult site, Padded Kink.

The OC: A New Porn Mecca

ocweeklyThe San Fernando Valley might be known throughout the world as the home of hardcore porn, but it seems a new challenger has appeared – and it’s only a short jump across LA County. Orange County, home to the Crystal Cathedral, UC Irvine’s huge student population, Disneyland, Gwen Stefani, and that TV show everyone would like to forget, is also the birthplace of many of adult entertainment’s most highly lauded performers: Jenna Haze, Tasha Reign, and Eva Angelina, to name a few.

In its current issue, the annual Sex Issue, OC Weekly has ranked the 20 most accomplished Orange County-based “entreporneurs” from yesterday and today, and editors even allowed the former Laguna Beach star Tasha Reign to grace the publication’s cover.

From Huntington Beach harlots Eva Angelina, Candy Apples, and Jenna Jameson to well-equipped OC residents Peter North, Billy Glide, and Michael Brandon to the most infamous crossover pornstar of the last ten years, Nadya “Octomom” Suleman, it seems Orange County isn’t as conservative and God-fearing as many of its residents would like to pretend it is.

The annual Sex Issue of OC Weekly is freely available throughout Orange County now and ‘America’s Porn Paradise’ can now be read (and ogled) in full online. Still, nothing beats a free bathroom poster of the OC porn industry’s proudest offpsring, writer/director/producer/performer/TV star/Penthouse Pet/UCLA student, Tasha Reign, right?

The Funding of Vanessa Del Rio

Vanessa Del RioBack in June of 2012, Mr. Pink’s reported that Radley Metzger’s 1975 landmark adult masterpiece, The Opening of Misty Beethoven was seeking crowd funding for a Blu-Ray release through Kickstarter. After raising almost the entirety of its $10,000 goal, Kickstarter suspended the project and left 435 Productions seeking an alternative crowd-funding avenue. Cut to February 2013 and reviews are starting to appear praising the completed Blu-Ray, with Twitch calling it “a remarkable release” and the film “an incredible document of a time when the future of cinema was still being formed”.

Now, another legendary (naked) woman of the screen might finally be getting her due… if the donations keep coming in, that is. With a projected budget of $300,000 and less than $10,000 raised so far, a proposed biographical feature film based on the life and work of Vanessa Del Rio hopes to depict and define a central figure of porn’s Golden Age, a woman who bridged the porn world and the mainstream entertainment industry with later TV roles (NYPD Blue, for one) and earned herself a spot in AVN’s illustrious Hall of Fame.

Using crowd-funding website IndieGoGo, director Thomas Mignone, the man responsible for 2007 feature On the Doll and music videos for Morbid Angel, Mudvayne, Soulfly, Slipknot, System of a Down, and Sepultura, hopes to raise the funds required to bring his take on Del Rio’s life to the big (or at least small) screen soon. With rewards ranging from digital downloads and DVD/Blu-Ray copies of the finished film to a visit to the film set and an associate producer credit – the latter what David Mamet calls “what you give to your secretary instead of a raise” – all donations tie contributors to the film and perhaps even to an indelible part of pornographic history.
