Elaina St. James, OnlyFans’ most popular content creator over the age of 55, is speaking out against the biased attitudes of online social platforms, particularly when it comes to ageism. Despite the media’s oft-repeated public support of ‘inclusivity’, St. James says that she believes that “media marginalizes people like me because of their own bias; despite our success, companies don't offer older creators the same branding deals that they offer less popular - but younger - social media influencers.

“Younger creators also tend to disregard older creators even if the they are significantly more successful than they are. Over 50 is a niche, sure, but it’s a profitable niche. Opportunities for shout-outs and collaborations are fewer, and TikTok is notorious for hating older creators - preferring creators who appear to look in their teens or younger. “Adult entertainment companies often dismiss performers over 50 as ‘Grannies’ and regard them as desperate old ladies that are pushed into fetish or interracial scenes. What is the common denominator that controls media, branding deals and porn? Middle-aged men, who generally believe that women over 40 are not as desirable as women in their 20s & 30s. “From a business perspective, media bosses’ personal preferences, which trickle down to their staff, blind them to a whole generation of 20- to 40-year-old men who fantasize about older women; they have plenty of money to spend on those fantasies, and companies would be wise to market to this group of consumers as well.”

St. James adds that adult content creators of all ages are in demand and should be treated as such: “everyone deserves equality and a level playing field to do business without bias or discrimination getting in the way of opportunities; inclusivity is for all of us, and companies making money off of our hard work need to remember that.”

Sophia Locke, one of the industry’s favorite adult film stars who is back onscreen after a five-year hiatus, was a featured guest on a recent episode of the Krazy Train with Jasmin St. Claire Podcast. The sultry redhead, who is set to appear at the 2023 AVN Adult Entertainment Expo January 4-7 signing at the 101 Modeling exhibit booth, spoke to St. Claire at length about her life in and out of the adult business over the past several years.

“After seven years of being in the industry, I did want people to see me for something else… I was really quiet about it, no one knew that I had done sex work… but now I am very open that I did adult film, I am excited to be open about it now; I was so reserved about it before,” she says in the virtual interview. She praises the enlightened state of today’s skin biz: “People have been pretty respectful, more so than in my vanilla jobs where you have a boss who is all touchy-feely and you can’t say anything… it’s awesome being in this industry, I think.” Locke also discusses her love of singing: “I imagine it’s probably related to how much I love performing in adult stuff… you want to be on stage, you want to be watched, you want to affect people in some way - for singing, it’s emotionally, for sex work it’s obviously in a different way.”

These days, Locke says she’s learned to simply sit back and enjoy the ride as an onscreen performer. “I am very determined to be single and focus on my career… I am feeling very grateful to have this second chance in this business that I didn’t know if I’d have or not, and I just want to go as far as I can with it.” Sophia Locke is available for booking through 101 Modeling.

Adult Time announces the debut of the new lesbian series Switch, created in collaboration with Adult Time Ambassador Lauren Phillips. These sensual sapphic stories follow women who embark on BDSM journeys together and discover what it means to be a Switch. Phillips wrote and co-directed the 2-part pilot episode alongside Chief Creative Officer Bree Mills.

"I’m super excited to introduce my new project. I really wanted to show the switch of a female and how, you don’t have to be just submissive or dominant, that you can actually be both,” said Phillips. “I hope the audience enjoys it and gets off on it, obviously!"

The first episode, “Embodiment,” starring Victoria Voxxx and Casey Calvert, finds Victoria fascinated by an old fetish paperback she found in her father’s shed; she spends every waking moment fantasizing over its pages before paying a visit to Dr. Calvert, a kink-aware, sex-positive therapist. Fortunately, the therapist also happens to be a dominant with some ideas of her own in this sensual lesbian story.

“One of my missions in this industry is to help amplify the creative ideas of our amazing talent community and I have been blown away by the results of what Lauren has brought to our platform via this series!” Added Mills. “I also want to extend my gratitude to our amazing cast and crew who are far more knowledgeable about BDSM than me! We hope the end result is both erotic and informative!”

In addition to “Embodiment,” Switch also offers a revealing interview with Phillips about the series (out now), with the next installment “Transformation,” starring Victoria Voxxx, Casey Calvert, and Maya Woulfe, streaming February 26, 2023.

Dorcel, the major international player in pleasure for all, is pleased to announce the domestic release of Revelation. Featuring Dorcel Brand Ambassador Clara Mia, this all-new feature stars Agatha Vega and 2023 AVN Best New International Starlet nominee Geisha Kyd. Directed by Franck Vicomte, Revelation is now available on DVD and for Digital Download.

Vicomte's story follows harried businesswoman Agatha Vega as she walks to work with her traditional coffee in hand. After a chance encounter with Geisha Kyd, she finds the attractive stranger's wallet lying in the street. Calling the phone number inside, she makes arrangements to return it. As a reward, a grateful Geisha invites Agatha and her boyfriend (Kristof Cale) to a private party at her luxurious villa, setting the stage for a weekend the two young lovers will never forget. A few days later, as planned, the couple goes to their new friend's beautiful home, where they discover a trove of sensual delight awaiting them. In addition to Clara Mia, Revelation features Cherry Kiss, Shalina Devine, Candie Luciani, and Alexa Flexy. Totti, Alberto Blanco, Vince Karter, and Raul Costa complete a cast that's united for a well-choreographed orgy at the film's conclusion.

“Geisha Kyd is the influencer here, who, when contacted as followup by Agatha Vega, not only invites her to swing with her husband but introduces the couple to swinging with a villa full of like-minded sexual explorers,” observed Daniel Metcalf, Dorcel's U.S. publicist. "The cast and crew extend the theme of sensual exploration throughout the film. There is an openness to Franck Vicomte's depiction of Agatha's sexual awakening that will appeal to fans of erotic coming-of-age stories."

The major European innovator in sexual pleasure through VOD services, concept stores, virtual reality, and podcasts, Dorcel is at the forefront of technology in the service of pleasure.
