Sometimes you can feel the tide turning even when you’re in the shallow end. You don’t have to be a business mogul, a performer… hey, not even a consumer… to detect that – even in its own burgeoning way – the face of porn, sex […]
As the old saying goes: Space, the final frontier… … or perhaps when it comes to some Hollywood franchises, the temptation to launch their pro and antagonists into space is a sign that the creative juices are drying up. Friday The 13th removed Jason Voorhees […]
In this second part of my riveting conversation with Dr. Chauntelle, we get into the false mythology of adult entertainment, how sex functions in the industry and wider cultural models, and other aspects of studying sex work as a sociologist “embedded” – a defining aspect […]
If you’ve ever wondered where all the academic and sociological thought is on the subject of adult entertainment, we at BaDoink have just the person for you. Coming out with a book next month, and with a staggering bibliography of writing and speaking appearances, is […]
We all know that getting stuff in your eyes can be something of an occupational hazard as a female porn performer but this is – as they say – taking the piss just a little bit. The 21-page report into safety standards on porn sets […]
Behind every great woman, is a great… woman… playing her in a porn parody. Hillary Clinton, the most likely Democratic nominee for the 2016 Presidential Election, has been in the public eye for many years, which usually guarantees porn parodies of her will be made […]
Porn legend Cytherea is returning to the fold only months after she and her family were the victims of a horrifying home invasion and sexual assault. The star – long-known as the ‘Squirt Queen’ thanks to her rather specific, glistening talent – made the announcement […]
Well, ok… the message coming from Facebook-owned Oculus Rift may not have been as enthusiastic as that, but the revelation that the company won’t be hunting down any porn that will inevitably make it to their platform comes as a welcome surprise to those who […]
It’s no secret that the adult industry of the 70s was heavily linked to the Italian-American mafia. Just like with any good racket where there was money and vice, mobsters would likely show up sooner or later. By the mid-70s, the “porno chic” tag carried […]
Professional clothes horse and part-time beachball retailer Courtney Stodden surprised absolutely nobody with her latest attempt at autobiographical marketing after signing a $1m deal with Vivid Entertainment to release her own solo masturbation video. The ‘star’ – who rose to ‘fame’ (lots of quotation marks […]
At BaDoink we like to take any opportunity available to show people what porn stars’ lives are actually like. Far from the bad stereotypes that those with no knowledge of the industry like to repeat, this is one of those examples where a driven, bright […]
A lot has been said about what porn stars do when their life in the adult industry is over. There are even inspiring documentaries that reflect these life choices. After all, certain jobs with even the mildest conservative mindset won’t take too kindly to the […]
Well… another week and another ‘Twitter is on the cusp of making a terrible decision’ story. Thanks heavens the braintrust at Twitter keep on doing this kind of thing or we might run out of things to write about! It’s not been a stellar couple […]
There’s a long-standing stereotype for what a porn star is supposed to be like. Many jokes and assumptions about daddy issues, traumatic childhoods, neglect, abuse and drug addiction are commonly used when people refer to adult talent and the reasons behind their career choice. But […]
The British press and social media got their cogs spinning earlier this week when the first two publicized casualties of the UK’s porn censorship laws hit the wires. Mistress Megara Furie – based in Glasgow, Scotland – and Mistress R’eal – based near Cardiff, Wales […]
Are you tired of cheesy, pseudo-romantic music playing over your porn while two bored skinny girls go through the motions of a half-assed (never a more appropriate term!) scene that might even make you question whether you should go back to work and stop wasting […]
Adult media can be described in all sorts of ways, but quirky and adorable are two adjectives generally not attributed to it. The e-tail site GameLink, however, is changing that particular perception just in time for the Internet to be flooded with heavy discourse. So […]
Historically, heterosexual men have a weird relationship with mean women. Technically, no one likes to be disrespected, treated harshly or being humiliated. Until they do. Hey, not everyone, of course. I’m not a fan of it myself, but as a writer who deals with porn […]
Crowdfunding is huge right now. If you have an idea, a problem, a project, or a charity, you can go to GoFundMe, Indiegogo or other similar sites and start a campaign to raise the money you need. It’s the ultimate DIY strategy that gives someone […]
