I only cross-post when it's really fucking important.
Natural High's official site has an October 9th, 2008 release date in place for Pico x Chico x Coco. I'm confident it'll get put on the web as soon as its released considering this thing is so long awaited. It's reportedly going to be twice as long as the other two groundbreaking shota releases.
Oh. And October 9th also happens to be my 30th birthday. I so sure I don't look a day over bishounen-age right?
LOS ANGELES - California state lawmakers are considering an unusual idea to solve the state's huge budget shortfall: Tax pornography.
The idea was proposed by a state assemblyman, and would impose a 25 percent tax on the production and sales of pornographic videos -- the vast majority of which are made in southern California.
It is unknown, however, how seriously lawmakers will take the idea or how the porn business would deal with the new tax. It is likely, though, that porm-makers would simply pass the cost along to consumers by making pornographic materials more expensive.
However, many economists believe that pornography is an industry with inelastic demand -- meaning market conditions typically don't affect consumers' desire for the product. In other words, it is believed that most porn consumers would continue to buy regardless of how much it cost.
A potential economic downside to the tax proposal is that porn producers could leave California to manufacture and distribute videos in other states that don't impose the tax.
Underager pr0n on cellphones may lead to child porn charges.
ALLENTOWN, Pa. - Police faced a difficult if not impossible task Thursday as they tried to stop the spread of pornographic video and photos of two high school girls, images that were transmitted by cell phone to dozens of the girls' classmates and then to the wider world.
District Attorney James B. Martin said at least 40 Parkland High School students believed to have received the images would not face prosecution as long as they show their phones to police by Tuesday to ensure the images have been erased.
But students at the school said the distribution was far more widespread.
"Most people got it and kept passing it along for fun to everyone in their phonebook," said Jon Gabriel, 16, a junior who said he received and deleted the images.
A state trooper was sent to the school Thursday and will return for two more days to ensure that images were erased from the cell phones of students whose parents got letters from prosecutors. The letter explained what had happened, set a deadline for erasing the images and asked the parents to sign consent forms.
Martin said students who fail to comply by the deadline could be prosecuted in juvenile court for possession of child pornography.
One of the girls in the pictures is shown engaging in a sex act with an unidentified boy, Martin said. The other girl took and transmitted a photo of her bare breasts, he said.
Martin said he was not certain if the girl shown having sex had known she was being photographed. As for the other student, "she's a victim and she's not a victim," he said.
"Our thrust has been to get the kids to come forward and we've indicated we will not charge them for possessing the images," Martin told The Associated Press. "I'm not sure what we're going to do with the participants at this point."
Students interviewed at the school Thursday said the pictures made the rounds about two months ago, and that the images have been distributed well beyond the high school -- to Temple and Harvard universities, to a high school in Bethlehem, even to someone in Oregon.
"The school isn't going to get everybody because it is everybody. I don't know anybody who didn't get the pictures," said Samantha Smith, a 16-year-old junior who said she deleted the images when she got them.
Senior Nicco Delnero, 17, said teachers discussed the episode with students, "telling us how it could hurt the girls in the future."
On the social networking site Facebook, one student started a group called, "Parkland. ... Where Pornstars Are Born."
Authorities began investigating about two weeks ago after some students notified school administrators, Martin said.
"A couple kids got these images, didn't much want them, didn't quite know what to do with them once they were received, and they were brought to the attention of the school resource officer," Martin said.
Officials do not believe the pictures were taken on school property.
Phone messages left Thursday for the principal and superintendent were not returned, and a reporter was turned away from both the high school and the district office.
About 3,200 students are enrolled at Parkland, a perennial football powerhouse that draws students from three largely wealthy townships outside Allentown.
Isn't pr0n located 3 clicks away from any website?
In the goofiest waste of law enforcement time we've seen in weeks, an on-campus police officer for a Florida middle school is facing a criminal investigation over his MySpace account. Why? It turns out one of the people on his friends list had a link on his or her profile to an internet porn site.
Or, as the St. Peterburg Times puts it, "kids could navigate from Officer John's page on the social networking site to 'Amateur Match Free Sex' in just three clicks."
You're reading correctly. Gulf Middle School resource officer John Nohejl didn't have porn on his MySpace profile, and he didn't link to porn. But one of the 170-odd people on his friends list, which seems mostly populated by students at his school, had a link to a legal adult site. Now the New Port Richey Police Department and the Florida attorney general's elite cyber crimes unit are investigating him for making adult content available to underage children.
Nohejl set up his MySpace account late last year with the school's and the police department's support, in a laudable bid to communicate with students where they live.
Presumably, he was expected to check all of his friends' profiles every day for inappropriate links -- because a school cop has nothing better to do.
Lauren Weinstein of People for Internet Responsibility correctly calls the investigation a "witch hunt," and points out that the school itself can be accused of the same crime, if we're now holding people responsible for content three clicks away.
BEIJING (Reuters) - China shut down 44,000 Web sites and homepages and arrested 868 people last year in a campaign against Internet porn which will continue until the end of this year's Beijing Olympics, Xinhua news agency said on Wednesday.
China launched a crackdown on online pornography and "unhealthy" Web content after Chinese President Hu Jintao said the country's sprawling Internet posed a threat to social stability.
Rights groups have said the campaign has been used as a thinly veiled pretext to crack down on dissent and round up online dissidents ahead of the Olympics.
Xinhua said authorities had also investigated 524 criminal cases involving online porn and "penalized" another 1,911 people.
Some 440,000 "pornographic messages" had also been deleted, the agency said.
China has attempted to stifle online criticism of the ruling Communist Party and discussion related to sensitive topics such as Tibet and Taiwan by ordering Web sites to register with authorities.
Authorities registered 199,000 Web sites last year, Xinhua said, but refused 14,000 for failing to get official registration or to apply for official approval.
China employs tens of thousands of human Internet censors and a vast network of filters to control online information.
The anti-pornography campaign would continue until September, Xinhua said, "after the Beijing Olympic Games end".
China last month said it would crack down on video-sharing Web sites, and allow only state-controlled sites to post video content online in new restrictions effective from January 31.
Is it legal to take pictures of teen boys at swim meet and post them on your gay porn site?
SANTA ANA, Calif. — Several gay adult Web sites have posted photographs of teenage water polo players from several high schools in Southern California, a newspaper reported.
Some of the pictures, of boys as young as 14, were displayed next to photos of nude young men and graphic sexual content, an Orange County Register investigation found.
Parents, coaches and school officials were alarmed, and parents said some of the boys were traumatized and sought counseling.
"These kids don't look at what they do as shameful," said Joan Gould, an international water polo official and a spokeswoman for a group of Orange County water polo parents. "For someone to come in and take what these kids are doing and take it out of context and exploit these images, these kids and their schools, because you can see the school name on the caps, is just horrible."
Police at the University of California, Irvine, confirmed they are investigating whether a campus police dispatcher had photographed the high school athletes for gay-oriented sites. The man had not been charged, and police Chief Paul Henisey said he remained on duty.
"We're looking into the matter," Henisey said. "We're not exactly sure about what we have or what kinds of issues there are."
It was not clear if posting the pictures constituted an offense.
"With free speech and photography, there's a gray cloud in terms of what is legal, constitutional," said state Assemblyman Jose Solorio, chairman of the Assembly Public Safety Committee.
Solorio said he would have the committee investigate the matter.
The Register said it found photos of players from 11 Orange County high schools plus schools in Los Angeles and San Diego counties on several pages of one gay porn site registered to a London address. Photos were also posted on other sites, the paper reported.
This is why you should only download your porn from my site.
SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) — Online pornography hunters' Internet adventures are already fraught with danger from malicious code many porn sites use to commandeer visitors' machines or steal personal data.
Now comes a scheme some researchers say amounts to extortion: One site's threat to disable visitors' computers with relentless pop-up ads if they don't pay for a subscription they were automatically signed up for after a free trial.
The threats, reported this week by researchers at security vendor McAfee Inc.'s Avert Labs, affect people who visit the Web site and download software to access a free three-day trial membership.
Visitors do get free access for three days, but the download includes code that then generates a stream of pop-up windows, when the user is online and offline, demanding payment of roughly $80 for 90 days' worth of additional access.
The windows stay open up to 10 minutes and appear once a day. They appear on top of any open windows and restore to their original size if shrunk or moved, making them impossible to ignore. They also reappear if the computer is rebooted.
The site actually warns visitors they will be billed as full members — and lose full use of their computers if they don't — unless they cancel the subscription within the trial period. But the warning appears in the full terms and conditions statement, which downloaders aren't required to read.
Once the fees are paid, the software can be removed with a special file.
"What it appears they are doing is, in my humble opinion, a form of extortion based on the (usually correct) assumption that a person's computer will be key to many other activities in their daily life," McAfee researcher Seth Purdy wrote on the Avert Labs blog.
Going into my SEVENTH year of celebrating the love for the beauty of the animated boy on boy action, I'm very happy the way the site has been growing in popularity. I've doubled my unique visitors in the last year and that is absolutely outstanding.
So as usual, all this week you'll see a whole lot of yaoi and shota unleashed over on the Yaoi page. We'll also add another segment of the Secret Stash video for those of you that took your hands off your penis long enough to figure out the password.
Thank you everyone for making my personal website undoubtedly one of the best places to find yaoi on the internet. While it may all be ganked from other places (and remember if you see anything that is yours and you don't want it posted, please please please email me) but pixiesticks.org is where it at with literally hundreds of gigs of yaoi and shota for your pleasure.
I got my calender wrong. NEXT week is the 7th Annual Yaoi Boi Week Celebration. It's the week that leads up to Anime Weekend Atlanta. I remember that back in 2001, it got underway the second week of September. Then, the hijackers flew planes into buildings killing thousands in New York City. It was an event that for lack of better phrase, changed America. So I didn't think it appropriate at the time to be talking about animated penises and assholes and moved it to a more logical time anyway.
So, with all that said.
Tomorrow is part 2 of the secret stash video clip.
Next week I have some Maki Murakami, I have more Mitsui Jun, and there will be more of whatever else I can dig up over here.
SAN RAFAEL, Calif. (AP) - A man recently released from jail after being convicted of secretly videotaping a woman and a teenage girl has sued a Marin County police department for the return of a massive porn collection taken during the investigation.
Dennis Saunders, 59, filed suit against San Rafael police in Marin County Superior Court after the department refused to give back some 500 pornographic movies and 250 magazines his lawyer described as unrelated to the peeping case.
"There's absolutely no legal foundation for them withholding perfectly legal adult-oriented material," Tiburon attorney Jon Rankin said.
The video collection alone was likely worth at least $10,000, Rankin said.
Saunders, of Healdsburg, was arrested in 2002 and charged with taping the women in their homes at a San Rafael apartment complex where he worked. He was released last month.
A lawyer representing the city said authorities wanted direction from a judge on whether it would be "lawful or appropriate" to return the material to Saunders, who has a history of peeping-related arrests dating back to 1979,
"If the court orders us to give it back to him, we will give it back to him," city lawyer Thomas Bertrand said.
It's August 1st and I'm on time for once for the new Secret Stash and theme for the month. How's that for awesomeness? Here are your password clues.
1. It is a five letter word. (Always use lowercase.) 2. It is not an English word. 3. It is very obviously one of my favorite things. 4. It is related to yaoi. 5. There may be more hints in this post than just these five if you look.
Remember not to give out the secret stash password or any hints. If I see after a while not that many people are getting it, I'll give out more. Considering this month's stash is bandwidth heavy, I'll be once again keeping an eye on how much we're using. Enjoy and good luck.
You know how much we here at pixiesticks.org loves shota. But, of course, there is one cat who loves it even more than we do. I'm talking about Shota-Cat of course. Now you can proudly sport the kitty on a T-Shirt.
Yes, one of the most controversial things about pixiesticks.org is back to attack boys and girls. It's the downright legendary, the computer screen melting, the mind boggling... SECRET STASH!
First things first. This month's secret stash features... well, there's no other way to say it. It's porn. Not anime porn, but the actual thing. And, no, it's not real life shota porn either. That was an April Fools joke from a while back. So if you don't like porn, don't want to see porn, or ARE NOT OLD ENOUGH then just go on about your way.
But if you do want to take a crack at the secret stash, here are your clues. Remember, I'll add more clues if I feel enough people are having a problem. And also remember, I'll ban anybody giving out the password or hints on the tag-board.
1. It's onomatopoeia. 2. It only has 3 letters. (All lowercase.) 3. It describes something a boy can do. (It's something different for girls.) 4. It's totally slang. 5. I'm going to start a group called Fans Against Pixelization! (Buttons and stickers coming soon to the Pixie Products shop.)
The Yaoi page's Now Playing section has been updated. While there isn't really anything new there, all the selections except two are available for download. (The two are a small Gravitation clip and the Christmas video I made.) I believe since a majority of people already have everything, the bandwidth won't be much of a problem. But of course, I always will take stuff down if it becomes such.
This is always a good time for me to remind you that there is a lovely wonderful way you can show your love to your faithful and ever giving webmaster. Click on the new donate button and you'll be wisked away to Amazon.com's Honor System program where you can make a very welcome, very appreciated, very needed donation to pixiesticks.org
Or in our case, for yaoi. And now that I apparently am back to attack when it comes to the high speed internet connection, I've uploaded a bunch of selections for you should you come across them. (I particularly like the shota Kama Sutra one.)
Oh! And there are three pieces there sent in by a pixiesticks.org fan artist that are simply amazing!
The entire flick is now up over on the Yaoi Bois board. I'll continue to monitor the bandwidth to make sure the thing doesn't pull down the entire site. It's been one of the most successful promotions on pixiesticks.org and I appreciate everyone who came to the site and enjoyed the shota on shota filled fantasy.
Last night, in order to promote balance in my friendship with Straight Friend Colin™, we watched Pirates. But it's been dubbed Sexy Pirates since it is the soft core porno version of a pirate movie. It was surprisingly very unsexy, even for the straight fellow. For everyone one shot that possibly could turn someone on, there were three very decidedly limp worthy things.
Flesh Gordon, the second of our double feature, was alot better. It's the 1970's crazy take off of the sci-fi classic series Flash Gordon. While it featured way more dirty naked hippies than anyone would really wanna see, the story was so very over the top funny about the planet Porno, its evil ruler Wang, and a sex ray pointed towards Earth.
It turned out to be a rather amusing evening after all.
But on a similar note perhaps, I've noticed that every morning for the last few days all I can think about when I wake up is Elf. I know I go through cycles when it comes to desiring the flesh of my long-haired transgendered pre-everything beautiful friend. So that's not really all that surprising. But sometimes the dreams and thoughts are so strong. --sigh--
A couple of people posted on the tag-board links to both a torrent and a megaupload to where you can get the Pico/Chico video that was released in Japan on April 19th.
I deleted these links and I want to tell you why.
1) This is my site. I do what I want. 2) Megaupload is shit. 3) I don't want to have to explain torrents to hundreds of people. 4) Having links that I don't post myself on my site is not good policy. 5) I want people to come here to get it. I mean, duh, right? 6) ??? 7) Profit!!! Well actually not really since I took down the Google ads.
So call me a censor. Call me fascist. Call me whatever you want. But those who actually like me and like this site, I think you understand where I'm coming from.
Operators of Web sites with racy content must label their sites and register in a national directory or be fined, according to a new U.S. Senate proposal that represents the latest effort among politicians to crack down on Internet sex.
The requirements appear in legislation announced Thursday by two Senate Democrats, Mark Pryor of Arkansas and Max Baucus of Montana, that they say will "clean up the Internet for children."
The proposal, which the senators describe as a discussion draft, relies on the idea of embedding a new tag--such as --in all Web pages that the government deems unsuitable for minors. Then future Web browsers used by minors could be configured to reject L18-labeled Web pages.
"We want to keep our kids safe when they're on the Internet," Baucus said in a statement. "Parents and teachers shouldn't worry about their kids when they're on the computer at home or in the classroom. This bill will help keep kids safe and give parents peace of mind."
Web sites with "harmful to minors" content on pages that are initially viewable to visitors must use the tag to be devised by the U.S. Department of Commerce or face civil fines. Pryor's office says the federal government would be able to "shut down" noncompliant sites, but that portion is not actually in the bill.
Another section of the Cyber Safety for Kids Act of 2007 would require the owner of any Web site with adult content on it to say so when registering the domain with the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers. The owner must also give ICANN the Web site's Internet Protocol address and other information.
"The labeling part of it is going to be constitutionally problematic," said Marv Johnson, legislative counsel for the American Civil Liberties Union. "They are in essence requiring labels on this material. There are some cases that have talked about labels on movies, which is why that's 'voluntary' rather than government-mandated. They're going to have some problems with that."
Harmful to minors is defined in the legislation as any type of material that appeals to the prurient interest by depicting or describing an actual or simulated sex act--and lacks serious scientific, literary, artistic or political values for minors.
Besides L18, another likely candidate for a labeling scheme is a set of Web ratings created by the Internet Content Rating Association. The ratings refer to topics like "visible sexual touching" and "erections/explicit sexual acts."
PHILADELPHIA (AP) - A federal judge on Thursday dealt another blow to government efforts to control Internet pornography, striking down a 1998 U.S. law that makes it a crime for commercial Web site operators to let children access "harmful" material.
In the ruling, the judge said parents can protect their children through software filters and other less restrictive means that do not limit the rights of others to free speech.
"Perhaps we do the minors of this country harm if First Amendment protections, which they will with age inherit fully, are chipped away in the name of their protection," wrote Senior U.S. District Judge Lowell Reed Jr., who presided over a four-week trial last fall.
The law would have criminalized Web sites that allow children to access material deemed "harmful to minors" by "contemporary community standards." The sites would have been expected to require a credit card number or other proof of age. Penalties included a $50,000 fine and up to six months in prison.
Sexual health sites, the online magazine Salon.com and other Web sites backed by the American Civil Liberties Union challenged the law. They argued that the Child Online Protection Act was unconstitutionally vague and would have had a chilling effect on speech.
