So FOSTA/SESTA passed and completely disrupted several aspects of the adult entertainment industry online, causing several major escort review sites and message boards to shut down, along with the entire personals section of Craigslist as well as the total sites Backpage and Mojovillage. I wrote about that here.
Now, it appears that the next prong in the attack on American sex workers is to stop them for having access to money. A current bill that has passed the House but has not yet come up for vote in the Senate is the End Banking for Human Traffickers Act. Again, meant to crack down on human trafficking, but will instead take aim at the people that have voluntarily entered into sex work.

Don't Let FOSTA/SESTA Be The End Of Sex Work
It has
been horrifying to witness the fallout from the signing of FOSTA/SESTA and what
it has done to sexwork in the United States.
For those
who have been living under a rock, FOSTA (Fight Online Sex Trafficking Act) and
SESTA (Stop Enabling Sex Traffickers Act) are bills from the House and Senate
that were signed into law back in April. Ostensibly, on the face, the bill were
created to make it illegal to knowingly assist, facilitate, or support sex trafficking.
However,
they was essentially a poison pill included that amended a past Communication
Decency Act, which removed immunity from online services for the actions of
their users.
What this
poison pill has led to was the seizure of Backpage.com, the termination of the
classified section of Craigslist, and the shutdown (out of fear) of other sites
in the United States that provided a forum for professional sex workers to
advertise and promote their services.
It has
also led to Twitter and other social media sites to revise their terms of use
to provide them more shielding in the wake of FOSTA/SESTA (and probably to
continue and step up their shadowbanning of sex workers).
This has
had harmful, deleterious affects on the women who utilize these services.

Guys, We Are Killing Porn
I admit that I do not subscribe to traditional machismo, and that probably, in the eyes of some of y'all, invalidates the point I am about to make. But to be blunt, I don't really give a fuck if you think that. It doesn't make it any less true.
Here goes:
Us guys are killing porn.
We are killing porn in a wide variety of ways.
Hold on. Wait a damn minute? What do you mean we're killing porn? Aren't you being a bit ridiculous in making that claim?
I don't really think I am.
I've been watching and consuming porn for almost 25 years. I think that the blessing and boon that is the internet was the beginning of the downhill slide, but the descent has only accelerated in the last decade or so.
The tube sites and piracy negatively impact the bottom line of many of the companies. On some level, it has stifled creativity, IMHO. It also financially hurts the pro-am performer, as they receive no compensation for stolen clips/videos that you wank to for free (and guilt free, apparently).

Short Story: Put Her In A Photograph
“Thank you for being willing to see me today,” she said over the phone as I unlocked the door to my studio. “I’ll be there in about five minutes.
“Okay. The door will be unlocked. Just come on in. I’ll be in the back setting up,” I said as I ended the call. I had been a professional photographer for just a couple of years, and I loved what I did. One of my friends called to say that a coworker of hers was looking to have some glamour shots done but she could only come in on Sundays. I usually take Sunday’s off to recharge my batteries, but it had been a slow week it seemed to be an easy enough gig.
I closed the door behind me and headed back towards the portrait area of my workspace. I clicked on the overhead lights as I pulled down the backdrop and started to rearrange the furniture for a shoot for one.
“Hello?” I heard a voice call faintly.
“Back here,” I shouted as I clicked on one of the umbrella lights and started to adjust it.
I could hear the sound of footsteps approaching. I finished adjusting the light and turned around. I found myself staring into the hazel eyes of my latest model.
She was a couple of inches shorter than me, and she was decidedly curvy—mainly because of the massive baby bump that she was sporting. She was wearing a tank top and maternity jeans, and carrying a medium sized duffel bag. She sported shoulder length red and purple hair with a flower tucked over her right ear.
She held out a hand to me. “I’m Jessica. It’s nice to finally meet you, Hayden. Thank you so much for doing this for me. Elizabeth said you were the best.”

The Lust List: Winter 2015-16 Part II
(For Part I of the Lust List, hop on over here. Otherwise, read on.)
Excuse me. I need a second to catch my breath and towel off.
It's been...quite taxing to try and get part two of the list together.
It takes hours of painstaking research to compile this list, and the research takes time because of, well, interruptions.
On a totally related note, my right elbow is quite sore.
Anyway, to give you all the overview of what this is:
“[T}he compendium of women that, if I can be frank, make me light in the big head and heavy in the small one. Women that get the blood flowing south of the border. Women that I wouldn’t kick out of bed for eating crackers.
Now, I realize that there are some women on the list from time to time that do not do hardcore; I never stated that it has to be hardcore, girl/boy performers. If there is any doubt, just read the line above in italics. It's simply about my preference, not how they make their money in the industry.
(Although, again, I would like to mention that if any of the women on here would be interested in doing a content for trade shoot from my Point Of View, well, you can contact me at: jaysonfdean@gmail.com. ;) Prior work can be viewed on my Clips4Sale store. But I digress.)
Oh, and I know in the previous post I said that this would be a newcomers list. Well, I was wrong. There were a couple of women on previous lists so irresistible I just couldn't leave them off.
Without further ado (and because you're sick of my ranting), here is Part II of the 2015-16 Winter Lust List:

(Women that I wouldn’t kick out of bed for eating anything, now that I think about it.)
Okay, fine: Women in the adult industry that I would like to fuck. There. I said it bluntly and crassly.

Fat Guys Needed For Filming!
If you've followed me on Twitter or even gone back through some of the writing I've done on here, I've long been an advocate of us fat guys showing out on video more in positive ways. I think it's necessary for us to show that we can be loved and are lovable too, damnit.
Tim Von Swine, one of the best directors of all time and a fellow fat guy, thinks so as well. His "Pigpen" video series (and subsequent site) shows porn actress of all sizes (petite pixies to BBW) getting it on with him. Us "Big Handsome Men" (BHMs) can sling dick just as good as the studs with six packs, and I give all the credit to Swiney for being a trailblazer in that regard.
