Gigolos' Garren James Interview
Gigolos are a misunderstood subject of conversation in popular culture. Thanks to movies like American Gigolo starring Richard Gere, male escort agencies were bundled under one category: the sex industry. The modern day “gigolo” became synonymously paired with “prostitute” and “sex worker.” While sexuality is embraced in the gigolo culture, it is not the be-all and end-all of the experience. For a fee, women have the ability to find the man of their dreams, no strings attached. Are you interested in a rock climbing date? Dinner for two where he doesn’t look at his phone? Fun night out with your girlfriends? Call matchmaker specialist, Garren James.

History of Sexual Censorship. Created with: OG Collection.
Some might think sexual censorship an antiquated topic, but it is alive and well, manifesting itself in the convoluted and often hypocritical perceptions of bureaucrats from Washington D.C. to Silicon Valley. Do not be fooled by the abundance of sexual content readily available to anybody with a wi-fi connection. Unlike its sibling graphic violence, sex has yet to be given a gaming platform like Xbox or Nintendo, who wrap bloody violence and often deviant imagery around trolls and unicorns. There is no middle ground for sex. An often binary decision to censor sexual content leads to rebellious undertones and social discord. The UK's Audiovisual Media Services Regulations 2014 banned spanking, aggressive whipping (light whipping ok), physical restraint, humiliation (that's not such a bad idea), female ejaculation (aka squirting), and playful strangulation. Bear in mind, nobody said you can't partake of these titillating escapades, you just can't professionally film it and distribute it under your own label. Censorship debates continue to be heard in the halls at the palace of Westminster and the floor of the US Senate. If history has taught us anything, it is it that they will continue to rage for the foreseeable future.

Subliminal Sexual Advertisements of the 1970s
The famous motto "sex sells" isn’t a new concept. In fact, it may be older than you think. Companies were using risqué and erotic images in advertisements as far back as 1871, with Pearl Tobacco featuring a nude woman on their cigarette packages. Based on the vast number of advertisements throughout history that use nudity, erotic images, innuendos, and other sexual content as a selling device, it would seem that the saying rings true.

Asian Beauty Tera Patrick
Success comes in all shapes and sizes and Tera Patrick’s climb to the top is no different. From the start, Tera's life was anything but traditional, filled with enough drama and heartache for several Lifetime movies. This beautiful big busted and even bigger brained brunette is an adult film legend, with more credentials and awards than hundreds of her peers combined, and that’s just the half of it. Frankly, if her name doesn’t ring a familiar bell in your brain than you must have been living under a rock for the past 15 years. A very boring, porn-less, masturbation-free rock. From adult videos and production companies to Playboy and Penthouse, Tera’s flawless face and incredible tattooed body have been blessing our eyes since 1999.

SCREW Magazine Founder Al Goldstein. Created with: OG Collection.
Little known fact, Jerry Lewis was an Al Goldstein fan. Al Goldstein founded SCREW magazine in 1968, a time when the legal system was trying to decide what constituted obscenity constitutionally. He would be arrested on obscenity charges 19 times over the next three years. Over the years, he spent millions of dollars to fight for First Amendment rights. Goldstein was the genius behind the adult-themed public access show "Midnight Blue." So ground breaking was his show that you can be sure there would be no Howard Stern if there was no Al Goldstein. Screw folded in 2003, and in a 2004 interview with the New York Times, Goldstein said that at times, since his magazines demise, he was forced to sleep in his car and live in a homeless shelter. At the magazine's 30th Anniversary in 1998, Goldstein was incredibly optimistic about the magazine's future. Below is a letter from Al Goldstein to loyal SCREW readers after 30 years of success, the he still believed that the best was yet to come. That was right around the birth of internet porn.

Porn Is the Invisible Hand of Technology
Technology creates sexology improves. Technology has evolved to its current state largely thanks to the invisible hand of pornography. The adult entertainment industry was pioneering technology long before Silicon Valley existed. While Hollywood executives shrunk from the release of the VCR and later the internet, the erotic entertainment industry seized these new markets as new opportunity. The contributions of erotic markets to technological evolution are largely overlooked, namely due to the fact that these markets are still seen as taboo by the masses. Whether the public realizes it or not, the porn industry has grabbed technology and applied it to consumers needs, wants, and desires since the 19th century.

Reasons Fifty Shades of Grey is Successful
Fifty, Fifty, Fifty. It’s all anyone could think about leading up to the film, and it seems that the craze still lingers. Eager women everywhere are squeezing their thighs shut in anticipation of seeing their fantasy come to life on the big screen. From movie trailers, cast interviews, and a lot of female gossip, there is no way to escape the Fifty Shades frenzy that has taken over. So what are women expecting out of the spicy hit novel turned film? Reviews are mixed that’s for sure. While some women would have seen the movie even if Seth Rogen had been cast as Christian Grey, others were gung-ho about boycotting the film altogether (or at least until it hits DVD). What I don’t understand is why there must be so many Fifty Shades Of Grey haters. As a reader and lover of all three volumes, I would like to give a big "fuck you" to all the women who are making us Grey fans feel guilty.
