Business Features for Adult Industry Professionals
Marketing BDSM
I don't know about you, but one of the first fantasies I had when I thought of pushing the edge of my sexual comfort zone had to do with silk scarves restraining my partner. Last time I checked, that is borderline bondage. Many people would never admit they are into bondage, because society has...... More »
Regulating U.K. Web Erotica
Editor's note: this article originally appeared in the May, 2008 issue of XBIZ World magazine
In the U.K., there has been much discussion over how adult entertainment should be regulated on the Internet. Parliament has been considering some controversial legislation that would make it a felony...... More »
Glam and Gloss
What's it like being a contract girl?
In my limited view, being a contract girl is like being in a polygamist marriage: We get involved because there is a mutual attraction that doesn't quite resemble true love (the company is attracted to our waist-to-hip ratios and marketability, we are...... More »
Custom Videos
With countless DVDs released each year and the increasing number of niches within, one would think that there would be something for everyone.

The Asian Invasion
On March 31, 1854, Commodore Matthew Perry negotiated the first treaty between Japan and the United States. Within 90 years, Japan had industrialized sufficiently to win the Russo-Japanese War, invade mainland China, march through the Far East and then, in 1941, bomb Pearl Harbor. Then World War II......
