A Look at The 1989 Winter CES (Adult)

Now that 2023’s AEE/X3 shows are behind us, let’s take an even further look back at the 1989 Winter CES show.

Photographer John A. Mozzer (who is also known around these parts as performer Alan Adrian) shared a bunch of photos he took around the 1989 Winter CES – when the adult exhibitors were tucked away on the second floor of the Sahara, and private parties were where you rubbed your elbows.

We can’t recommend enough getting lost and clicking around John’s meticulously captioned galleries over on SmugMug â€“ it’s a cornucopia of the NYC downtown scene (and elsewhere) peppered with some familiar faces and a really great eye for the candid…

Porn Is Over Here (If You Want It), 2022 Edition

We took a break for a couple years from compiling the holiday porn list, so let’s jump back into it! Here’s a list of titles released in 2021 and 2022 that have some sort of tangential relationship to the Christmas holiday…

And for our Jewish readers, there’s not much that jumps out at me, but Joanna Angel has a pair of titles from some years back — Very Kleio Christmas (2009) and Festival of Cocks (2011) — that might do the trick! (She has a recurring theme of exacting revenge on those people who come over to wish her a Merry Christmas.)

We wish you and yours a happy merry holiday season and thank you for all the support over these past 23 years…
