NEW YORK—Adult entertainment portal Pornhub today unveils a six-part video series titled Pornhub Literacy 101 designed to shed light on how the site strives to promote wellness and healthy engagement with the content it offers.

The project is a collaboration with Liz Goldwyn, founder of The Sex Ed, a platform dedicated to sex, health and consciousness education. An acclaimed author and director whose credits include the documentary Pretty Things (HBO, 2005) as well as the forthcoming book Sex, Health & Consciousness (Sounds True, 2022), Goldwyn was recruited to helm Pornhub Literacy 101 with the creative aid of Phantom Planet frontman Alex Greenwald creating music for the series, and costume designer Heidi Bivens of HBO’s Euphoria imbuing it with a style referencing Golden Age Hollywood with a contemporary twist.

Intended as “a comprehensive guide for Pornhub’s 100 million+ daily visitors as to how to best and most safely interact with the platform, while underscoring Pornhub’s continued and unparalleled commitment to trust, safety and transparency,” Pornhub Literacy 101 features Pornhub ambassadors Asa Akira, Kira Noir, Natassia Dreams and Pornhub Aria, as well as top stars Emily Willis and Ricky Johnson.

The full six-part series is available today on www.pornhub.com and Pornhub’s official YouTube channel. Watch the trailer here.

“It’s important to me and to The Sex Ed to open up dialogue around sex, health and consciousness to the widest possible audience, and who better to partner with to do so than Pornhub, whose analytics reveal an audience that rivals those of the top mainstream streaming giants?” Goldwyn said. “As a researcher and educator in the sexual wellness space, I have known for years of Pornhub’s cutting edge technologies and safety practices, which far outweigh those of platforms many of us use on a daily basis. So, it was a no-brainer to collaborate with Pornhub on this series of PSAs.”

She continued, “Society needs to engage critically with pornography, especially as it exists at the nexus of media, entertainment and technology. Pornography is ingrained in all these aspects of our lives and having porn literacy is the first step to having the skills to process and understand our own and collective relationship with adult content. This means talking about the very things we tend to want to avoid, like cybersecurity, the sharing of nonconsensual intimate images and videos, and what performers themselves have to say about working safely in their business.”

Added Bivens, “Liz’s focus on sex, health and consciousness education through her podcast and platform The Sex Ed creates opportunity for all to learn and explore their sexuality in a safe and equitable way. While designing costumes for Euphoria, I was impressed by the show runners’ openness to casting adult film actors in roles which they might not usually be considered for and treating them with respect and dignity. Liz’s work to shift the public consciousness surrounding sex and health promotes safe spaces for people to explore these topics and helps to humanize those involved.”

According to promo materials for the project, “Pornhub Literacy 101 is the first visual representation of Pornhub’s core values: consent, freedom of sexual expression, authenticity, originality and diversity. Pornhub Literacy 101 provides further transparency and education around how users interact with the platform and emphasizes the priority Pornhub places on cybersecurity, trust and online safety, which includes a zero-tolerance policy for the sharing of any non-consensual images. The series also reveals the rigorous, industry-leading safeguards dedicated to keeping Pornhub a safe space for content creators and the community at large.”

LOS ANGELES — The creators of the Brazzers Tuxedo line drew inspiration from the excitement of returning to big in-person events following almost two years of restrictions.

Available now through the official Brazzers online shop, the stylish summer collection features several upscale items designed specifically for the ladies and the guys.

“For the ladies, we have a new bandeau halter bikini, featuring the same pattern as the men’s tuxedos,” a Brazzers rep told AVN. “For the guys, we have a three-piece matching set comprised of a bucket hat, button-down shirt and swim shorts—available in beige and black.

“And for those who love to accessorize, we’ve got matching beach towels, handbags, and a dazzling new pair of sunglasses.”

Top adult talent Ana Foxxx and Scarlit Scandal joined a trio of ZZ contract studs—Ricky Johnson, Damion Dayski and Van Wylde—for the promotional photoshoot.

The Brazzers Tuxedo line is available now exclusively at officialzzstore.com.

“The concept for the Brazzers Tuxedo was inspired by the post-pandemic return of outdoor events like festivals, beach and pool parties,” the Brazzers rep explained. “We wanted to create a seamless head-to-toe look with subtle branding; an outfit that looks dope and features the iconic Brazzers logo in a way that doesn’t scream ‘I love porn!’”

LOS ANGELES — Adam & Eve Pictures on Thursday announced it has tapped Will Ryder to write and direct an original sci-fi sex thriller.

Casting is underway for Oh My God No! with Kira Noir and newcomer Dakota Tyler cast as the ‘conflicting’ female leads. Nathan Bronson will play a desperate man caught in an impossible situation he cannot escape.

The production green-light comes on the heels of Love, Sex & Fashion, a Ryder feature movie comedy which was just released two weeks ago.

“Comedy is what Will does best,” said Rachel V, head of production for Adam & Eve Pictures. “However, he’s not limited to one specific genre because we also enjoyed a lot of success with the movie The Cursed XXX which was Scott David and Will Ryder’s first attempt in the thriller genre so when they talked to us about this new movie synopsis, we absolutely loved it.”

The studio indicated Oh My God No! will tell “the harrowing story of young newlyweds that find themselves in unimaginable trouble.”

“That’s all we will say for now about the story because this script is going to scare a lot of people,” Ryder remarked. “I will however, be happy to talk about my female leads because they are the fuel that will ignite this story.”

Veteran superstar Kira Noir has never worked with Ryder before but the movie’s co-producer Scott David was quick to point out, “Will was adamant that we get Kira in this feature movie so we’re pretty excited to have her join the cast of this thriller.”

“Kira is a fabulous talent and a very believable actor,” Ryder said. “I’ve wanted to work with her for a few years now and I know she’ll be up for the acting challenge this story presents. This is the type of role that actors relish and when Kira reads the script, she’s gonna love it and be consumed by it.”

The director was equally enthusiastic albeit a bit cautious, when talking about Dakota Tyler.

“This is a casting gamble because Dakota is so new,” Ryder said. “When I read her for the part, I was looking for realism and the ability to take direction and improve with each take. What I discovered, is a natural actress, young and very pretty so I have no doubt she will really kill this part. In fact, the more I think about it, this role was made for her because she’s perfect to play Mandy.”

“I can’t believe that I got the opportunity to read for the part of Mandy let alone get it,” Dakota said. “I don’t know the entire movie story yet, only the couple of pages I tested on, but I got chills just reading those lines.”

“Dakota Tyler hails from Connecticut and brings a sweet vulnerability to the role yet has an internal toughness that will be an asset in a huge movie shoot like this,” Ryder concluded.

Check out the YouTube trailer for the comedy Love, Sex & Lawyers, which is up for multiple XRCO Awards.

Also check out the YouTube trailer for Love, Sex & Fashion.

Oh My God No! will be released later this year.
