Grooby's Shemale Yum Rebranded as GroobyGirls.com

Grooby, the leader in trans erotica, announces their flagship site, ShemaleYum.com, will be switched over to GroobyGirls.com effective today.

Editor's Note:  For more information about the rebrand, we suggest you read the posted Interview with Steven Grooby at Grooby.com.

Los Angeles, CA – Grooby announced their flagship site, ShemaleYum.com, will be rebranded as GroobyGirls.com starting today.

“Change is good, and we’ve changed our company and sites constantly over the past 20 years,” said Steven Grooby. “Simply renaming a brand that has as much worth as ‘ShemaleYum’ wasn’t something that could be done overnight and without having a proper plan in place, and that plan was to build ‘Grooby’ and ‘GroobyGirls’ brands, which we’ve spent a number of years doing. We’re now in the position where they can replace the original website name.”

ShemaleYum.com launched in 1996 and is the world’s longest running trans adult website, featuring an unprecedented mix of newcomers and top stars annually.  Many of the most popular TS performers today had their first shoots on ShemaleYum, including Vo D’Balm, Domino Presley, Kylie Maria, Wendy Williams, Bailey Jay, and over 1850 different trans women.

GroobyGirls.com launched in 2011 as a promotional site for Grooby models. Each year a limited number of t-shirts are released to the models and fans.  Other GroobyGirls merchandise has included calendars, playing cards, towels, stickers, and tattoos.

The company currently operates over 30 membership sites and produces approximately 50 DVDs a year. Visit the new site at GroobyGirls.com.

When asked if Grooby had plans to change the names of any of their other sites, he stated, “ShemaleYum.com is the biggest and most important of our sites, and this site had to be first otherwise we’d look hypocritical. We’d also look hypocritical if we didn’t re-brand the other sites and we have plans for all of them, we just ask people to be patient. Most of our sites already use ‘tgirls’ (a word which we helped define) or ‘transsexuals’ but for the rest we’ll change, we’ve an amazing domain for Shemale.XXX so watch for that.”

Grooby’s Marketing and Editorial Director Kristel Penn added, “Grooby has been a longstanding ally of the LGBTQ community and we don’t take that responsibility lightly. I’m really excited for this rebrand, especially for our community. Whether you know our company personally or not,  I believe people will see this change is a more accurate reflection of our company ethos.”

Pop Goes Mary Moody’s Cherry this Friday at Penthouse.com

Penthouse Magazine’s 2016 November ‘Pet of the Month’ Mary Moody appears in her first ever girl/girl scene with 2017 ‘Pet of the Year’ Jenna Sativa, debuting this Friday exclusively at Penthouse.com.

Los Angeles, CA - Penthouse Magazine’s November 2016 ‘Pet of the Month’ Mary Moody appears in her highly anticipated first ever girl/girl scene to be released this Friday at Penthouse.com. Paired with Moody is their 2017 ‘Pet of the Year’ Jenna Sativa.

“The first time I saw Mary Moody I thought she epitomized the perfect Penthouse Pet. Fresh, genuine, incredibly sexy,” stated Penthouse CEO Kelly Holland. “Penthouse has been at the center of defining beautiful, sexy woman for over 50 years and what’s great about being the leading moderator of that conversation right now is that the definition of beautiful has broadened from what it was in earlier decades. Now it’s less about one certain set of measurements and more about the essence of the woman. Mary has that essence, that indefinable ‘something’ that comes through in her photo layouts, but we all recognized how powerful that could be in a sex scene.”  

Performer Mary Moody built a huge, organic following on Chaturbate and leveraged her popularity into becoming one of Penthouse Magazine’s most popular Pets. She was first featured in the November 2016 issue titled, “Bring Back Bush,” an apt description for her pubic hair preference.

Holland continued, “Mary had kissed a girl before…to paraphrase a song…but not really had a sexual experience with a woman.  But she was curious.  It’s an honor for Penthouse to be able to bring that first time experience to camera and to her fans.”

“I had such a wonderful experience doing my cover shoot with Penthouse, I knew they would take great care of me and make the experience amazing,” performer Mary Moody stated. “I had a lot of fun shooting all the soapy car wash scenes with Jenna. She was great! I felt so comfortable with her right away and I feel lucky to have my very first scene with her. I think we had good chemistry on and off set. It went much easier than I expected - I was a little nervous because I wanted to do really well. Jenna really helped me do a great job. It was my very first time with a girl and it was so much fun!”

“I’m so stoked for the release of Mary’s first girl/girl scene,” added co-star Jenna Sativa. “She was such a treat for me. She has soft yummy lips. I can’t wait to kiss her again! I think our fans are going to enjoy our scene.”

Soon after Moody’s first appearance in the magazine, fans sent in letters and emails praising her photospread and asked to see more of her outside of webcamming. Due to the high demand of the request, Penthouse paired her with 2017 ‘Pet of the Year’ Jenna Sativa, stating that Moody’s sapphic debut is one fans will deem a worthy addition to Penthouse.com.

Paradigm Net Media to Host VR Educational Workshop for APAC Members on July 9th in Hollywood

Paradigm Net Media, the adult industry’s leading VR consultancy group, will be hosting a free educational workshop for APAC members on July 9th at 8pm at Boardners in Hollywood, CA. Presented by industry veteran, Telly, the 1.5 hour presentation will cover a wide variety of VR topics for performers to help better prepare them for the growing VR marketplace.

Los Angeles, CA - Adult industry VR expert and content creator, Telly from Paradigm Net Media, is scheduled to present an educational workshop for APAC members on July 9th at 8pm at Boardners in Hollywood, CA. Hosted by APAC, the workshop is free to attend by APAC members and all active performers (performing in the last year) by signing up to join at the event.

"The goal of this seminar is to show APAC members that VR content creation is within their reach and how the methodology of minimal viable products coupled with Paradigm Net Media's ‘Three C's’ philosophy can help them create immersive experiences for their fans,” stated Telly, technology curator for Paradigm Media. “It is our belief that only through the market of diverse erotic experiences can we generate consumer confidence in VR as a profitable and viable long-term venture.”

The extensive workshop will cover important topics like current market trends and untapped content opportunities while explaining the philosophy of minimal viable products and how APAC members can create their own content using readily available hardware. Telly will outline new technologies in the marketplace, including YouTube’s recent addition of 3D180 to their VR offerings, and a general overview of Paradigm Net Media’s trials and tribulations in creating a workflow for achieving a concept they coin as the “Three C’s of importance” for VR: comfort, content, and clarity.

Telly continued, “We believe the best way to elevate the VR niche in porn is by sharing information and resources with others: what works, what doesn’t work, and the idea that success can be shared without dilution of profits. We’re particularly excited about the opportunity to present this workshop to APAC members, as we’re seeing more and more performers taking content creation into their own hands. We’d like to help create a more diverse content landscape in porn, which in turn, can potentially turn into higher profits for both VR producers and performers. We are very thankful for Ela Darling and everyone at APAC for allowing us this opportunity to converse and share with our industry friends.”
