Massive Studio's John Bruno sent over this set of images he took of Nash Lawler, which were taken in Bruno's hotel room in Chicago during the Grabby Awards this past May.

(In a related note: apparently Nash had his ass-cherry popped this week by an actual penis attached to a living, breathing man. Anyone care to venture a guess of who the lucky virgin surgeon was?)

Behind Kink presents another installment of our new series, Behind the Name, in which we investigate the symbolism and provenance of some of the most intriguing names we come across in the adult industry. Our study continues with the first slave initiated to TheUpperFloor.com — Cherry Torn. Is this a reference to her love of fruit? Or is it a nostalgic nod to Ms. Torn's deflowering? Or is it simply that her favorite pair of panties has this tasteful fruit on them. Questions like these prompted our quest to seek out the origin and meaning behind names such as Cherry Torn's. Please join us as we attempt to unravel what's in a name....a porn star's name.

Not sure what I love best about this clip: That James St. James linked it, that it prompted a commenter on Towleroad to call me a "greasy queen" or that Scott Tanner it trying to steal Samuel Colt's spotlight:

With the Up Your Alley fair behind us, and Folsom Street Fair on the horizon, we asked two of our resident doms, Van Darkholme of BoundGods.com and James Mogul of TheTrainingofO.com, to give us a brief understanding of the wide, deep river that is leather culture. Though it would take an epic documentary series to adequately address all of the ins and outs of leather, we're sure that this little taste should suffice until you've had the chance to finally sport that new pair of assless chaps South of Market.

As of today, Van Darkholme, director of BoundGods.com and NakedKombat.com, has officially taken the helm of Kink.com's formerly hibernating site ButtMachineBoys.com. The site's resurrection will be marked by a very noticeable upgrade to HD video, as well as a completely new approach to the site's content and aesthetic. Expect hard machine-fucking action, harder bodies, and the hardest of cocks. Join now and get in on the perverted piston-pumping power of the new, improved ButtMachineBoys.com!

Let's just get right to it, YouLoveJack's newest model Jessy Karson:

The webmaster claims he's French. Not that you'd be able to tell that about him in this mostly silent — except for the sound of huge balls slapping a leather couch and some climactic moaning — video. But there are some hints to look out for... that is if you're not completely distracted by the fact that Jessy's nine-inch dick looks almost as thick as his arm. (Alright, yes, that isn't really so remarkable when you're as scrawny as this particular Frenchman, but still.) A scorching clip, more photos, and telling clues about his nationality after the jump.

Falcon megastar Erik Rhodes is training to be a director for the porn studio, and based on the hilarious behind-the-scenes clip above (via The Sword, we're cheering him on. Fans that I talk to generally assume that studio porn sets are either orgies or staid and mechanical factories. Erik captures the fun side of a really great business, and the backside of TJ Hawke.

Which former Falcon exclusive is feeding Francois Sagat his daily head?

Author and social activist Stephen Elliott, whose many books include Happy Baby, My Girlfriend Comes to the City and Beats Me Up, and Adderall Diaries (available September 1st) has been a long time friend and contributor to Kink.com. Behind Kink recently got the opportunity to speak to Elliott about how his life and work intersect and inform each other. He explains how his writing has served as a vehicle for coming out as a BDSM player and offers us an insightful perspective on alternative sexuality and the search for belonging.

Some porn stars can't give it away!

Following in the grand tradition of Raymond Marble and Britney Spears, a gay-for-pay star has been identified as a flasher: in New York he was known as the notorious "Subway Fiend." Kenneth Allen Hoyt, appeared as "Kenny" on Jake Cruise's Straight Guys for Gay Eyes site in 2005, but fame proved elusive: the sex offender resorted to flashing teen girls outside Hollywood High School where he was captured on Friday. Luckily, you can see what they saw and get the same value, too: Jake Cruise is offering a free gallery of the fiend.

Kenny joins the ranks of other gay-for-pay stars like "Playgirl Killer" Marcus Allen and elder-bashing Nickolay Petrov in pokey, we have to wonder: does heterosexual sex corrupts the male brain?
