Jupiter’s Slut Releases Autobiography, Masturbation Monday: A Shameless Experiment in Self-Love

Follow us on Twitter @PornValleyMedia – Send email to: ContactPVMedia@gmail.com

Chicago – Humorist and adult star Jupiter’s Slut released her first book, Masturbation Monday: A Shameless Experiment in Self-Love. It is now available for purchase at Amazon.com.

“The first question I always get is ‘why do you call yourself a slut?’” says author Jupiter’s Slut. “I call myself a slut because I was so shocked and ashamed by how much I liked making out with boys in high school that I started thinking of myself as a slut before I even lost my virginity. I’m reclaiming the word. For me, it means Shameless, Luminous, Untamed, Truth. I’m not ashamed of my truth anymore, I love sex. But that doesn’t mean sex is easy for me.”

“In particular, masturbation made me feel bad up until starting this project,” she adds, “Facing my masturbation demons was the impetus for the book. I wanted to document and examine pleasure and shame, so I filmed myself masturbating once a week for a year. During the entire filming process I continued to think this was a project about sexuality, but in writing the book I discovered this was a spiritual experience. I had deeply rejected myself as a woman and a sexual being based on the teachings of my church. I wrote this book as an act of unconditional love, the kind of love that’s willing to look at the worst shame and accept it all. Self-love is sold as some airy-fairy thing, but what about those parts of yourself you wish didn’t exist? How do you deal with those? That’s what I’ve tackled in the realm of my sex life with Masturbation Monday.”

Steven Grooby Issues Statement Regarding Production Hold

Follow us on Twitter @PornValleyMedia – Send email to: ContactPVMedia@gmail.com

Chicago – As many of our models are aware, we had the largest production week planned in the 22-year-old history of our company this past week in Vegas.   Producers were flown in from Asia, and Los Angeles, I was in from the UK and we had models coming from Chicago, Alabama, Texas, and Oregon as well as local talent.   With 15 VR shoots planned, and a large number of hardcore and solo scenes, we had $40,000 worth of model fees that were earmarked for Grooby and JustVR performers.

Immediately after our first set of the first proper day of filming, we were called about the moratorium and canceled all shoots while we reevaluated what to do, with hotels, flights, makeup, PA’s and other expenses committed to.    I’d like to thank all the performers who were already scheduled and traveling in their understanding of the situation and although their expenses were still covered, as we could only do solo scenes, their expected paychecks were vastly reduced.   I’d also like to thank all the trans performers in Las Vegas for coming through at last minute and working with us on solo scenes, salvaging some of the budget.
