News release: July 14, 2009 — VAN NUYS, Calif. — Digital Playground is prominently featured in CNBC’s documentary “Porn: Business of Pleasure”, premiering July 15 at 9pm EST.  The one hour show takes viewers behind-the-scenes of the $13 billion dollar adult entertainment industry and highlights Digital Playground superstar Jesse Jane® and Digital Playground’s CEO Samantha Lewis.  “I hope that CNBC was able to achieve the objective view they set out to create regarding the future of the adult business,” says Paul Fishbein, President of AVN Media Network.  “It is truly interesting to explore the juxtaposition between different adult companies.  Digital Playground is a female-run company, which features a star as sexually empowered as Jesse Jane.  However, there are still those who operate in a manner perpetuating the negative opinions so many hold of the industry.  The current economic times should have a Darwin affect and allow consumers to decide which business model will be the future of porn.”

Samantha Lewis, Digital Playground’s CEO, is known throughout the adult industry as a pioneer towards the empowerment of women and equalization of gender roles in pornography.

“This documentary is the first time where I’ve really allowed my professional life to mix with my personal life,” explains international celebrity and Digital Playground contract girl Jesse Jane.  “I’m more than just a porn star.  I’m a wife, mother, daughter, and friend.  I hope that people watch the show and their eyes are opened to the good behind an industry that has treated me extremely well.”

If you think teaching teens about condoms gets conservatives riled up, just imagine the response to an attempt in the United Kingdom to tell youngsters that orgasms feel good. A National Health Service pamphlet titled “Pleasure,” which encourages parents and educators to add a dose of honesty about carnal delights to traditional sex talks, has been met by finger-wagging moralists and accusations of child abuse. You know, par for the puritan course.

The more acceptable approach: Tell kids that masturbation kills kittens and makes you go blind

Beyond having the audacity to suggest that educators tell students that sex can feel pleasurable, the booklet says that teenagers have “a right” to sexual satisfaction, so long as it is in a safe and consensual situation. It also advises honesty about masturbation being perfectly healthy — it winkingly says that “an orgasm a day keeps the doctor away,” which strikes me as a cheesy attempt to be cool — and that sex isn’t always about procreation.

In response, Dr. Trevor Stammers, a spokesman for Family and Youth Concern, called it “nothing less than encouraging child abuse,” Anthony Seldon, head of Wellington College, declared it “deplorable” — and so on and so forth. The U.K. tabloids also went to town: The Sun trumpets, “NHS tells kids: Sex each day is healthy,” and Times Online reports that NHS is “telling school children” to have “an orgasm a day” — neither of which is true. I guess the more acceptable approach would be to tell kids that masturbation kills kittens and makes you go blind, and that sex is a painful experience that always results in pregnancy?

The outrage is absurd on many levels, the most practical of which is that most teenagers are already well aware that there is pleasure to be had in doing the horizontal tango; it isn’t exactly a nationally guarded secret. Acknowledging that forehead-slapper of a fact adds basic legitimacy to sex ed classes and parental “birds and the bees” chats, which so often send kids’ eyes rolling. Teenagers know what’s up, and I don’t just mean this generation of know-it-all Googlers and porn-watchers — kids have always been keen social observers. So, when they’re sat down and told that sex is a dirty and shameful act, they recognize adults’ doublespeak.

SAN FRANCISCO — The son of a late San Francisco pornography mogul was scheduled to be arraigned Tuesday on suspicion of killing his former girlfriend and fleeing with their 1-year-old daughter.

James Raphael Mitchell, the 27-year-old son of the late “Behind the Green Door” director Jim Mitchell, was being held on suspicion of murder, kidnapping and violating a restraining order.

His ex-girlfriend, Danielle Keller, 29, was found beaten to death Sunday evening in the backyard of her mother’s home in Novato, north of San Francisco.

Commentators and academics often distinguish between two large, general types: indoor and outdoor or street prostitution. But both these categories come in many different shapes and sizes, and many of the indoor variety are rather ordinary looking. These images from Germany, Denmark, Switzerland and Belgium show how commercial sex sometimes looks in the daytime, without garish signs or lights. Those shown here have some discreet indication of what they’re about, but many others have none and don’t need any because they don’t rely on passing trade.

I have found the Holy Grail of lesbian dirty movies. I have read that you (like me) are more attracted to straight and bisexual women than to lesbians. My taste in porn dates back to the '70s and my dad's collection of Penthouse magazines that my brother and I would find under the bed. I have often wondered why there is no lesbian porn like that — really erotic, beautiful women who look like they are into it.

“Girl on Girl” material for straight men is usually disappointing, with lots of giggling and glancing at the cameraman. I feel like I should watch so-called dyke porn, but starting with “On Our Backs” and now its heirs like “The Crash Pad,” those lesbian-targeted products adhere to a different aesthetic than what I can relate to. Lots of piercing, tattoos, boi models, etc.

I just discovered a couple of studios that use hot women who genuinely love women, with an emphasis on psychological connection, drama, passion but with the focus on hardcore action. Check out “Sweetheart Video,” anything by Viv Thomas, and also Girlfriends Films and a few others. A good Web site to check out is lezlove.com. They cater to straight men, lesbians, couples — a peaceable kingdom of pervs. This video is a YouTube appropriate PG-13 mash-up I made with clips featuring the gorgeous, passionate Samantha Ryan. She also does mainstream adult films that are unsexy and inane, but in these indie films she is an amazing artist and apparently a black belt in lesbian sex. I hope it cheers you up!

The movie: A twisting, turning, tongue-kissing thriller in which Neve Campbell and Denise Richards make Matt Dillon’s life much more interesting.

The scene: What looks like the seduction of the bad girl (Richards in schoolgirl outfit) becomes an impromptu threesome — complete with breasts doused in champagne — and one of the more memorable love scenes in movie history.

What you need:

• Two girls and a guy
