In the movies, when someone says something like “Your money is no good here!!,” they’re usually trying to be nice – giving you something and refusing to accept payment. Even in The Shining (1980).
But in real life, when someone tells you they won’t take your money… well, maybe they’re probably just being an asshole.
At least, maybe they’re probably just being an asshole if they’re a bank and you’re affiliated with the adult industry.

My righteous indignation exploded this past Friday with reports of Chanel Preston being refused banking services at City National Bank in Los Angeles, CA because of “compliance reasons.”
According to NBC News (here, May 17, 2013): Continued…

I have a feedback favor to ask – what do you all think of this image? Minus the whole “shutterstock” thing, what do these eyes invoke in you?
Any thoughts, comments, tweets (@DrChauntelle!!), or emails would be greatly appreciated :)

Do you know what a “star showcase” is?
In terms of adult, a star showcase is a title that consists of a collection of scenes, each featuring one *star* performer.
Star showcases come in a couple different forms…
Sometimes, they’re a collection of new scenes each featuring a star performer. Elegant Angel pretty much has this form cornered and covered, with hott glam-gonz titles like Dani Daniels DARE, Lily Carter is Irresistible, and Remy & Remy 2…
(pictured: Lily Carter’s star showcase Irresistible – buy it here… because it’s irresistible)
…but Wicked Pictures (Lisa Ann!!), New Sensations (Bonnie Rotten), and Jules Jordan (Asa Akira) among others also crush it with this particular star showcase form.
And sometimes, they’re “best of”s – a collection of past scenes highlighting a performer’s prowess over the years – think Deep Inside Jenna Jameson or The Best of Brianna Banks, for example.
Star showcases are generally produced by only one company, thus you’re getting your favorite star within the confines of one particular producer’s vision. This is always true of star showcases featuring new content (ie Irresistible). But sometimes, when a distributor or producer buys up others’ content catalogues, you can get the star showcase “best of” form with scenes from different studios. This is an interesting way to see your favorite star through the eyes of several different company lenses. Continued…

Sociologist Chauntelle Tibbals Publishes New Research Exploring Porn, Law, and Society
Los Angeles, CA (May 6, 2013) – Sociologist Chauntelle Anne Tibbals, Ph.D. is pleased to announce publication of her newest research “When Law Moves Quicker Than Culture: Key Jurisprudential Regulations Shaping the US Adult Content Production Industry.”
The article, which appears in The Scholar: St Mary’s Law Review on Race and Social Justice (2013, 15:2), uses historical sociology to explore the research question: Why, in spite of its legal and protected status, is adult content and adult content production still a stigmatizing and polarizing dimension of US culture?
“This is something that’s always confounded me,” Tibbals stated. “Adult content production is legal in the US and we hear endless rhetoric about the adult industry mainstreaming, but we as a culture still seem to struggle with porn.”
Starting in the 1970s and engaging examples occurring as recently as 2012, Tibbals considers key jurisprudential proceedings, technological developments, and intersections between porn and wider society. Each dimension points to legal findings out-pacing socio-cultural evolutions. Continued…

Dear Brooklyn,
A “fully liberated woman who does what she pleases,” in part, makes her own decisions. Regardless of what those decisions may be specifically and regardless of what factors may come into play when they’re made, you exact your power as a liberated human (woman or otherwise) every time you make an informed choice.
Do not apologize for the decisions you make, nor for the directions you turn. Life presents us all with many paths. Do not feel compelled to justify whatever factors inform yours. Just be well.
Good luck!!

The Free Speech Coalition (FSC) has issued a call to action regarding Assembly Bill 332, the proposed bill to mandate barrier protection in adult content productions in the state of California. (read my breakdown of AB332 —> here)
AB332 is scheduled to go before the State Assembly Labor Committee on April 24, 2013.
Please recall that AB332 moved forward through the Arts, Entertainment, Sports, Tourism and Internet Media legislative committee on April 9, 2013. The upcoming April 24th meeting marks the second bout of hearings… AB332 is moving forward, not back.
Below is a letter (verbatim from FSC) that can be copied and pasted into an email or other document format and then sent to the Labor Committee representatives (publicly available contact info listed below). Please, regardless of your opinion, reach out to these legislators by email, written letter, fax, or phone.
Incidentally, I say “regardless of your opinion” because, regardless of your opinion, you must take action and make your experiences, thoughts, etc known. No one is qualified to speak for you… but if you never make your voice heard, someone else is definitely gonna try.
Please send your message before April 24, 2013. Now is the time to be heard!! Continued…

This is a major week of talks – last night’s Erotica Exotica and the EMP Pop Conference coming up on Friday, April 19!!
Yesterday’s Erotica Exotica panel was awesome – me,
I absolutely love doing stuff like this – it makes me so happy to see students interested in learning something new, eager to ask their questions, and thinking critically about sex and porn and media and representation. And I love that USC is open to “allowing” these kinds of conversations… not every institution of higher-ed is.
Pictures!! Continued…
