Rick’s Cabaret International, Inc.(NasdaqGM:RICK), the premier publicly traded group of gentlemen’s clubs, has obtained a license from Vivid Entertainment, the world’s leading adult film company, to use Vivid Cabaret as the name for its new midtown Manhattan venue. The agreement marks the first time Rick’s Cabaret has licensed a third party brand name for one of its clubs and the first time Vivid has licensed its name for a gentlemen’s club.

The Manhattan cabaret is located at 61 West 37th Street between Fifth and Sixth Avenues in New York City’s fashion district. It is near Bryant Park, Fifth Avenue shopping, numerous leading hotels, and is an easy walk from Times Square. A subsidiary of Rick’s Cabaret earlier this month finalized the purchase of the business. The building is currently undergoing renovation and is expected to open by October.

“Vivid is by far the finest adult company and has great brand-name awareness,” said Eric Langan, President and CEO of Rick’s Cabaret. “Using the Vivid name fits perfectly with our ‘cabaret concept,’ which features a little trendier music and feels as much like a nightclub as a strip club in terms energy level. The New York City club will be a perfect complement to our flagship Rick’s Cabaret just four blocks away, and we’ll be able to cross-promote seamlessly.”

“We’ve worked with Rick’s Cabaret for several years on various promotions but licensing our name certainly takes the relationship to a dramatic new level. We want to work with only elite gentlemen’s clubs and Rick’s certainly meets that test. We could not be more excited to work with their team,” said Vivid founder/co-chairman Steven Hirsch. “We’ll be able to promote Vivid Cabaret on VividTV, which will reach over 40-million households by the time the club opens this Fall. Vivid performers will make appearances at the club and we’ll also hold movie auditions there. Our fans will love Vivid Cabaret,” he added.

Science explains why we can’t stop watching porn

All right, Internet. Time for some #RealTalk about #Sex. It’s time to get a little lesson in our love of all things porn—or, more importantly, why we can’t seem to get enough of the stuff. [source]

Thanks to the whip-smart biological scholars at asapSCIENCE, the world can finally revel in an informative, digestible, entirely safe-for-work tutorial in what exactly is going through a person’s brain when he or she watches Internet pornography. You’ll also learn why the adult-entertainment industry’s unbelievable excess, and our addiction to it—porn-related queries account for 25 percent of our online searches—has made it such that certain people in this world are now finding their mates less attractive.

The whole quandary comes down to the tolerances and the release of dopamine, which the duo of Mitchell Moffit and Gregory Brown detail rather scientifically midway through the clip. As for the tolerance, the two spell it out quite clearly.

“With prolonged exposure, your tolerance is increased, and many find themselves addicted. Though it’s not a physical substance, it leads to the same general loss of control, the compulsiveness to seek out activity despite negative consequences, and withdrawal when it goes away—much like that of gambling or running.”

“The issue,” the two explain, is that “continued exposure can cause longterm or lifelong neural-plastic change in the brain.”

And so we’re left thinking that the only sex that’s legitimately enticing anymore is the kind that involves whips and chains.

Fortunately, there’s a remedy for this affliction, one that exercises the idea that the brain operates on a “use it or lose it” system.

“The neural connections you stimulate grow stronger and desire to be activated while the ones you ignore become weakened, much like your muscles, which, if sitting still all day, itch for activity, but after prolonged non-use become complacent,” Moffit explains.

“The same neural-plastic system that proliferates these habits can also be used to acquire healthier ones.”

Which is to say that the brain you use to make sense of that weird porn you’re watching can be the same one that helps you tune out.

No more Playboy radio in Sirius XM?

Guess what I just heard …. Playboy Radio is out and it’s all thanks to Manwin’s bad management.

Mike South also ran a similar story today stating …

Sirius has not been happy with Manwin’s running of 102 & 103, Fabians tax issues as well as the Mister Marcus issue have tainted the Playboy Brand, Playboy is not happy at all, and all though there is a contract in place between Playboy & Manwin, Sirius has decided to CANCEL Playboy channel 102, it will go dark Friday morning.

Sirius is also trying to end Manwins 103 contract, it expires in October.  Sirius is fed up with Manwin, Playboy is fed up with Manwin, seems everyone is seeing Manwin for what they are now.

Now Manwin is saying that they were too hot for Sirius but you can bet your ass it’s the shady shit that got Manwin tossed off the air.

Full Mike South story can be read here.

Porn Stars without Makeup

Last week an industry makeup artist posted over 90 pictures of porn stars before and after makeup. [source]  The makeup artist who posted these photo is @XmelissamakeupX.

Samantha Saint without a doubt stands out the most. She could probably win a beauty contest with or without makeup.

[nggallery id=77]

 

I should note that some stars aren’t really happy about these photos and Vanilla Deville goes as far as saying that Melissa used some sort of app on her face to make her look worse without makeup.  I don’t know if that is true, doubt it is, but did these girls who clearly posed for every one of these pics not think that they would ever get out?  Why pose for these pictures if you didn’t want others to ever see them?

Not long ago Alexis Texas was featured on the TMZ website and the live television version about her preference for sexual companions.

Basically one of the guys on TMZ said Alexis Texas was his favorite porn star but was shocked to find out recently that she didn’t have sex on camera with black men.

Tori Black recently announced some big and very personal news.  She’s  now about 4 months pregnant with her second child.   I hope that you all join me in wishing her a huge congrats.

 

Hey guys, so if you missed my live show on toriblack.com, I’m pregnant with baby number 2!!! I’m 4 months along, yes I’ve known for a while but I was waiting for the right time to tell you all.

We’re very excited, blessed, ecstatic, nervous, all of the above! But more than anything we are appreciative that we’ve been given another beautiful and healthy baby.

We’re a little nervous about them being so close together but as they get older it will get easier. Hopefully they will be BFFs!

Much love to you all, thanks for all of your support.

And I will continue to do live shows, however the will most likely just be chat shows!
