One thing you can say about the Vudu video wonderbox is that it gets better all the time. AVN--the Adult Video News--is launching a dedicated porn channel on Vudu. While you'll have to pay for every flick you watch, there are at least two reasons it's better than the FyreTV streaming porn box that Chen loves so, so much.
It's not that the major porn studios were alright with you torrenting porn vids online, it's that they didn't yet organise themselves to form an entity to do something about it. No longer. Think of the new organisation PAK as the MPAA of the porn world, planning to target websites that host or track torrents of porn. It seems like they're first going after the "tube" sites, like porntube and youporn, but we'll see how successful they are going after torrent sites. After all, the MPAA and RIAA have been doing it for years and you're still downloading. [Daily Tech via T3]
According to Time, porn producers are excited about the new iPhone 3G because it will quickly put content right on the hand of the users, without having to go through the carrier, which already have control over the $1.7-billion mobile porn market. Not only that: the porn industry sees its large touch screen, web browser, and multimedia capabilities as the perfect platform to see naughty bits, calling it "the porn-friendliest phone" out there. The users—at least according to Google Trends—seem to agree with them.
Think you have what it takes to become a masturbating champion? Can you endure longer than 8 hours and 40 minutes? Because that is what it will take to beat the new record set by both Norihiro Taneichi and Masanobu Sato of Tokyo at this year's Masturbate-a-Thon in San Francisco. The two finalists went "head-to-head" in a competition that finally ended when an exhausted Taneichi gave up, allowing Sato to claim the prestigious title. What was their secret? They were both using the Tenga New Adult Concept line of onanism cups.
We get lots of pitches for products, but the guys at Disc Makers finally found one that pierces through the clutter and reaches into the heart of our everyday worries. Here's what we got:
Remember that classic "toy" slime that came in a little garbage can? Ever use it to have sex? Yeah, um... me neither. Anyway, it turned 30 years old this month. To celebrate, Japan's Mega Store is releasing an updated line of products called Adult Slime. Nostalgic Generation Xer's will be happy to know the line has expanded to include four new scents that "appeal to adult sensitivities," including hot, relax, love and the ironically named elegance. Bedroom? Meet Slimer. Wet Naps not included. [Trends in Japan]

I know we probably got your hopes up with our story the other week about the R18+ rating for games being back on the table, but it isn't going to happen. South Australian Attorney-General Huge McTool Michael Atkinson is staunchly opposed to the adult classification, and seeing as how all Attorney-Generals need to agree, there's no chance of it happening.
I was so angry when I read his argument as to why he opposes the rating over on news.com.au that I was about to write an essay dismantling every argument he had. Then I discovered that Logan over at Kotaku had already done the hard work for me. Go and check it out and spread the link to all your friends – it's an extremely well-written and logical argument for the introduction of an R18+ rating for games in Australia. And the more people we have on our side, the better the chances that we'll finally get treated like the adults that we are.

Picture a Vudu IPTV box that brings porn into your living room over the internet. That's FyreTV, which will be "The Hottest BoXXX You'll Ever Experience" when beta applications begin in just about 12 hours. There's not many details on their home page or their meager press release that just says they've signed up non-exclusive deals with a few adult content providers. What we do know is that this is completely streaming (no downloading and saving), and you'll be able to create favourites and search movies for "specific performers and scenes". Sounds like FireTV isn't the only thing that'll be coming soon. [FyreTV via Adult FYI (NSFW) - Thanks Bryan G!]
Blu-ray's comparisons with Betamax have proven unfounded, at least in the case of pornography. Because Sony is not only allowing pornography on Blu-ray, but they have begun offering resources and technical support to Japan's adult film industry.
