EDITION 75
We’re tanned, we’re rested, and we’ve never been more ready for “back to school.” Truth be told, summer wasn’t exactly slow moving at Spank HQ. Then again, when is it ever? We closed out the season with some great work on both the education and activism fronts, and we’re feeling pretty jazzed about what fall has in store. Here’s the highlight reel.
COMMUNITY
Health is Wealth
In case you didn’t know, August is not only National Immunization Month, it’s also National Anal Health and Awareness Month. If you’ve been busy summer loving, our friends over at PASS are here to share an important reminder about the power of prevention and vaccinations.
If you have the slightest suspicion that something is knocking at the backdoor (or that the call is coming from inside the house), a simple rectal screening is your best bet. Also, getting the HPV vaccine lowers your risk for anal cancer. The more you know…
EDUCATION
Summer School at SpankU
SpankU stayed in session this summer keeping inquiring minds entertained and informed. We teamed up with adult entertainer and independent producer Codi Vore for a little tutorial for how to prepare for a shoot like a pro. Our friend Katie Davis also swung by for a very important lesson on how to avoid burnout, sharing her “dual life method” for how to separate work and life. Spank U’s summer curriculum closed out with a very important cheat sheet for how to send and receive crypto penned by the lovely Jess Jordan. Get schooled while you can, because as you surely know, SpankPay is gearing up for its highly anticipated comeback.
CONTEST
It pays to SpankPay
Speaking of the SpankPay renaissance, we kicked off September with a little contest asking our X followers to share a spicy snap of how it feels to sign up for the adult crypto platform that could, and as per usual, the submissions did not disappoint. Congratulations to the three winners who took home $300 each and thanks to all who participated!
ACTIVISM
FSC-STRONG
This summer has been very eventful for our friends at the FSC, especially on the age-verification front. In August, California was defeated, and mid-September, they announced that the ACLU, ACLU of Texas, and Quin Emanual filed a brief on their behalf, urging Texas to strike down the dubious age-verification laws that we in the adult industry know do more harm than good. Meanwhile, we’ve got their backs and we’re visiting folks in DC to write and pass legislation that will protect our fundamental rights as adult entertainers and human beings.
SPANKMATE
August SpankMate: Cecilia Taylor
Our end of summer squeeze was none other than Cecilia Taylor! The petite blonde babe may be pint-sized but let’s just say she has a healthy “appetite.” If you love a doe-eyed girl-next-door (and who doesn’t, honestly), then gird your loins, because our photoshoot with Celia is sure to get you hot and bothered. You may even need to flip back on the AC!
