It looks like porn studios have finally figured out a way to integrate Google Glass into their shoots.

XBIZ, the adult industry news website of record, reports that studios are eager to get their hands on the device to get a grasp of their "full potential." For example, since the face computers provide a more intimate angle than a traditional camera set-up, studios are thinking about making the actors wear them while they're in various positions.

One angle they're excited about is the personal point-of-view:

“Obviously a device that allows you to shoot high-quality video in a truly hands-free fashion will make shooting POV porn that much easier,” said Q Boyer, a spokesman for Pink Visual.

For Google Glass's next trick, maybe it can make us want to watch two Glass-wearing people fucking without feeling like we've stumbled upon some weird robot porn subreddit.

Oh no, our world's children are succumbing to the perils of the World Wide Web. A new survey of 19,000 parents worldwide said their kids browse porn as early as age six and begin e-flirting at eight years old. The news comes from Bitdefender, a Bucharest-based antivirus company, that compiled the results from talking with parents and monitoring which sites parents block.

The Internet-addicted generation is also using instant messaging services and playing video games at younger ages than ever before, Bitdefender said. The survey found kids playing video games as young as five, and 17 percent of those surveyed registered for social media sites at 10 years old. Those sneaky kids also figured out that they could get around several sites' 13-year-old minimum age by--get this!--lying about their ages.

The study said that another "hot destination" for kids online for when they're not flirting are alleged "hate" websites where kids are allowed to--cover your ears--swear and be dicks to each other. So, 4Chan?

A Bitdefender spokesperson told USA Today that kids are getting increasingly sneakier:

"Kids nowadays are acting like young adults online — just give them an Internet-connected device, and they will find a way to things parents would like to ban forever," says Bitdefender Chief Security Strategist Catalin Cosoi.

Just wait until they get on OKCupid. Shiver.

The only detrimental effect of your teen’s nefarious porn habit is the crapload of malware stewing on the family computer, and not, say, harmful mental defects. Some hippy-dippy Dutch researchers claim that young people indulging in skin flicks is not negatively influencing their sexual behavior.

Nearly 4,600 Netherlanders aged 15 to 25 were quizzed online about their porno viewing habits and other various intimate questions about their sex lives, such as if they participated in "adventurous sex" activities like something called a threesome.

Researchers found that 88 percent of young men, while 45 percent of girls, watched porn within the last year. Guys liked videos on the rough side, while the ladies indulged in soft-core material. However, both sexes preferred consuming the porn online and not via DVDs or television since that's such a pain.

Gert Martin Hald, the lead researcher, also discovered this:

But while the researchers found there was a statistically significant relationship between the subjects’ pornography use and their sexual behaviour, that link turned out to be a modest one. The subjects’ own personal dispositions, particularly whether they were sexual sensation seeking, were likely to be a greater influence, Hald says.

The kids will be all right.

Poor Ronald Clark. All he wanted to do was, relax, crack open a Mountain Dew and watch some downloaded videos of elves, pixies, and “other fantasy creatures” doing it. Instead, the New Zealand man landed in jail.

A court in Auckland ruled that Mr. Clark's pixie porn qualifies as "objectionable material," sparking a debate in the country regarding whether or not content can be considered indecent if the animated characters appear underage. Mr. Clark said his interest in pixie and elf porn was all in good fun, and that he was simply enjoying the films based on their "artistic merit."

Mr. Clark, who faced a stronger ruling due to the fact that he previously assaulted a teenage boy, said he didn’t find the hentai sexually appealing. Mr. Clark’s lawyer argued that he shouldn't be held accountable since the characters in the videos "weren't even human." (Tell that to poor Tinkebell's parents.)

That wasn’t a good enough excuse for his critics, including Alan Bell, a representative from an anti-child porn group. He claims hentai is basically the gateway drug of porn, and watching it could encourage people to “migrate from there to the real thing.”

Bell said it had to be conceded that no child was harmed in the images' production but "it's all part of that spectrum". Cartoon images of child abuse were a "huge" problem in Japan and the practice had started finding its way into computer games, he said.

To that, Mr. Clark’s lawyer simply SMDH'ed.

Do you prefer your porn with a side of malware? According to one British researcher, users who visit popular porn sites like PornHub and xHamster have a 42 percent chance of contracting digital STDs (a.k.a. malware) on their computers. Naturally, online porn purveyors sites did not take kindly to the study, which they say overinflated the risk.

PornHub called it "grossly exaggerate(d)," and xHamster said that while it has suffered from malware issues in the past, it's worked hard to find reliable advertising partners that don't infect your computer.

Just remember, folks: your computer can contract a digital STD even from browser-on-infected-ad contact.

Bad news for the porno pervs among us (a.k.a. everyone). As it turns out, websites that stream free porn are actually laden with malware that could completely destroy your computer. But it's totally worth it, right?

Researcher Conrad Longmore told The Telegraph that a number of ads on popular streaming sites like xHamster and PornHub can automatically install malware on your computer. Mr. Longmore said that the sites aren't purposefully hosting malware, but because the process for buying and packaging ads is so complex, they're likely running malicious ads without being aware of it.

Mr. Longmore found that xHamster, for example, has malicious advertising on 5 percent of its content. Since the average user looks at 10 pages per visit, that gives them a 42 percent chance of contracting malware from the site.

Think Bill Gates would give us grant money for a condom that protects against digital STDs?

Everyone watches porn, including those who lie and say they don't. Sex toy retailer Adam and Eve conducted a survey and discovered that 36 percent of respondents lied denied watching online porn.

The site polled more than 1,000 adults (of legal age, it ensured) for its monthly "Great American Sex Survey," since there's nothing more American than answering the essay prompt,  “How do you prefer to watch adult content?”

Adam and Eve found that nearly half of respondents prefer free-to-view sites as their top choice, while 16 percent preferred porn on DVDs. Four percent of people broke the first rule of Internetting by paying to watch porn online.

Then there were the liars. More than one-third of survey takers revealed that they fake a lot of things, like answering anonymous porn survey questions. XBiz surmised the peculiar findings:

It was unclear as to whether the respondents were truthful in their answers or just shy about admitting that they watch porn.

We're gonna go with the latter.

Update: Even As He Promises to Close ‘Is Anybody Down,’ Craig Brittain Covertly Plans a New Revenge Porn Site

This afternoon Craig Brittain, the proprietor of revenge porn platform Is Anybody Down, announced on his Twitter feed that the site will be shutting down. In a series of tweets, Mr. Brittain wrote that the site, which allows scorned lovers to upload intimate photos of their exes without consent, will shut down entirely within 24 hours. "The website, Is Anybody Down, will completely end," he tweeted.

Mr. Brittain said he would provide more information soon and that the site is not being shuttered because of outside pressures, but instead because he "made a personal decision to end Is Anybody Down."

Is Anybody Down cropped up as a copycat of Hunter Moore's notorious Is Anyone Up, after Mr. Moore sold off IAU as a prank. The site has landed Mr. Brittain in a lot of hot water recently. Is Anybody Down purports to have an independent partnership with Takedown Hammer, a service that will strip your naked photo from Is Anybody Down for a $250 fee. Several sources have told Betabeat that they have definitive proof that Takedown Hammer is also operated by Mr. Brittain. CBS News Denver employed a security researcher to do an investigation, who determined that the emails from Mr. Brittain and the person supposedly running Takedown Hammer were sent from the same IP address. Mr. Brittain denied the findings.

Another investigation conducted by CBS Denver found that Mr. Brittain had posed as women on Craigslist in order to collect naked photos of women to populate Is Anybody Down.

Mr. Brittain has historically been rather flip about his practices--"I call it entertainment," he said recently of the site--but his tweets seem to indicate that he's had a change of heart. "A number of reasons contributed to my decision to end Is Anybody Down. Mostly my personal feelings," he tweeted, adding, "The realization that my life is empty without love and friendship is really the biggest motivating factor behind the change."

He continues:

https://twitter.com/CraigRSBrittain/status/319917883931103232

https://twitter.com/CraigRSBrittain/status/319918047160827904

https://twitter.com/CraigRSBrittain/status/319918463500034048

Though the tweets seem sincere, they're worth taking with a grain of salt. Mr. Moore, whom Mr. Brittain has modeled himself after over the last year, also appeared to have a change of heart before enthusiastically diving back into the revenge porn industry.

Mr. Brittain also updated his Twitter bio:

Just a boy who wanted to be loved, but never was. The last of my kind, they don't make people like me anymore. Say good night to the bad guy.

The golden rule of the Internet is simple: Never (ever) pay for porn. That premise, however, doesn’t fully translate into Japanese. Symantec reports that more than 200 explicitly themed and fraudulent apps are suckering an unknown amount of users into shelling out up to $1,000 for porn.

About 50 developers are perpetrating this “one-click fraud campaign," Symantec reported yesterday. When people search for pornographic keywords, like “boobs,” in the Google Play store, the infected apps show up at the top of the search results. Once users download the app, it funnels them to porn sites, where the user is charged. The apps themselves have no other features.

The apps have been downloaded at least 5,000 times since January, when Symantec first noticed the trend. The speediness of the developers, who are constantly submitting the apps, has proven challenging.

It’s also unclear how many people are paying for the apps, but Symantec pontificates that it “must be worth the time and effort” to keep doing this. At least someone is getting a happy ending here.

If you're running the BlackBerry 10 operating system and tend to use your phone's browser to view some rather NSFW content, listen up: Crackberry reports that a setting in the new OS could show your friends exactly which porn videos you're watching. Oops.

The new BBM has an option to display whatever media you're watching or listening to as your status update. As Crackberry notes, this includes any videos you watch in your phone's browser. So if you happen to be lying in bed browsing videos on PornHub and your phone is set to display your media choices, your friends are gonna know you're a big fan of FFM threesomes.

Crackberry provides a few helpful steps to disable the setting:

• In BBM swipe down from the top bezel then choose Settings

• Toggle Show What I'm Listening To so it shows Off

• Tap Back to save

Voila! Your secrets are safe... for now.
