Porn is Over Here, If You Want It, 2018 Edition

Every so often, we compile a list of Christmas themed porn because of course we would. We added quite a few this year (and quite a few today even!) so it seemed a good time to go back to the well. These are only 2018 titles; earlier years have their own articles.

Straight Movies

Gay Movies

Trans Movies

We hope you get everything you want under the tree, or if that’s not your thing; we hope you have a great Tuesday.

Ask the IAFD: Who are the TALLEST Modern Pornstars, 2018 Edition

It’s been five years since we last took a look at the tallest pornstars and we were asked on Twitter about it, so we’re back – parsing out the tallest pornstars in the modern era – which is to say that they had movies released this year.

We’ve broken the list into three sections – female, male and trans performers. Scroll down for the list.

It’s An Honor To Be Nominated Again

It’s happening again…  We’ve been nominated for an XBiz Award in their 2019 show in the Best Fan Site category.

Against the odds, we’ve won the last two years against some very stiff (ahem) competition. So, why not try for a three-peat?

You can cast your vote here; once per day. As they say, vote early, vote often!

Thanks for your support!

Exxxotica New Jersey 2018

Exxxotica New Jersey is the 2nd largest adult industry convention in the United States after AVN’s AEE, taking advantage of the NYC metro area next door. Business is always gushing for the performers that choose to attend and fan attendees always have something to see. This year was the largest show in terms of attendees and exhibitor square footage, and it was spaced out well enough that you don’t feel claustrophobic or see foot traffic jams compared to an AVN show. The Exxxotica organizers have this down to a science.

Kenzie Reeves

Bad Dragon, the sponsor of the porn star showcase booth, was always bustling with lines while Kendra Lust‘s Entice booth and the Jules Jordan booth always had crowds surrounding it.

Adriana Chechik had the longest lines of the convention along with Lisa Ann and Christy Canyon. So long that I made only feeble attempts to photograph them without wanting to disrupt (piss off) their fans.

Lily Adams

The East Coast Talent booth featured some outstanding talent, especially Kenzie Reeves and Lily Adams along with a recently debuting Autumn Falls. Kenzie always had a smile in interacting with her fans including the after parties.
