ASN Lifestyle Magazine Addresses Rumors About Upcoming Show

ORLANDO, FL - ASN Lifestyle Magazine is gearing up for their 2021 Awards weekend hosted September 16-19, 2021, in Orlando, Florida.  

“We are aware of rumors going around in the lifestyle industry and want to dispel them before it damages anyone’s reputation or company,” said ASN Lifestyle Magazine owner, Michael Ramos. “Our Awards weekend is specifically designed for the Lifestyle and Adult industry.  It seemed logical that the ASN Lifestyle Magazine, which has grown exponentially, have an Awards show weekend. It is simply for the lifestyle community to enjoy a weekend, seeing old friends and making new ones. The Awards are simply a vessel of acknowledgment made by each other, for each other in their respective platforms.”

The ASN Lifestyle Magazine Awards will be held at the new, members-only TopSecret Resort of Orlando with hosts, Lifestyle veterans, Tom and Bunny. 

Ramos added, “We do not engage in tampering or favoritism of the votes, nor hold any preferential treatment of nominees.  We are taking stringent matters to ensure complete transparency. To frankly put it, we are not doing this for any one person. Just as we started the magazine three years ago, it was for the people. Competition within an industry that is all about being a community, should be healthy, not destructive. Images created are intentionally being skewed to hurt or give the wrong interpretations. The venue we have chosen for this weekend is welcoming us with open arms. ASN has an agenda that is full of fun, carefully chosen well-known educators, and renowned entertainers. Our integrity is everything to us! Our slogan remains, “It’s all about the lifestyle.’”

The ASN Lifestyle Magazine Awards Show celebrates sexual freedom, giving fans a place to express to freely express their erotic selves. The awards weekend is dedicated to connecting with like-minded people and community influencers, honoring those who break the mold and move sex-positive culture forward. The ASN Lifestyle Magazine Awards Show will announce winners in over 30 categories, including Best LS Cruise Company, Best Lifestyle Adult Educator, Best Lifestyle Podcast, Best Lifestyle or Adult Industry Supporting Business, to name a few.

Grooby’s Kristel Penn to Speak at UC Santa Barbara’s “Teaching Porn in a Pandemic 2.0” Class

LOS ANGELES, CA - Grooby’s longtime Creative and Editorial Director, Kristel Penn, will be speaking this Thursday at famed University of California Santa Barbara class, “Teaching Porn in a Pandemic 2.0.” The Pornographic Cultures course is taught by Professor Constance Penley, who is considered to be one of the founders of the academic field of porn studies. 

“My students and I are delighted that Kristel Penn has accepted our invitation to visit my UC Santa Barbara class on Pornographic Cultures, now retitled as ‘Teaching Porn in a Pandemic 2.0,’” said Professor Constance Penley. “Over its 28 years (!), the course has featured an extraordinary range of creatives and other experts from the adult industry. As the Creative and Editorial Director of Grooby, an activist, humanitarian, and entrepreneur, Kristel will generously share her knowledge gained as an industry pioneer in trans erotica and as a prominent advocate for visibility and empowerment through sex-positivity.”

“This has been a longtime professional dream of mine to speak in Professor Penley’s class,” said Penn. “I sincerely admire the work Professor Penley does to elevate the discussion of sex work and the adult industry in a way that holds the complexities of our community. Professor Penley’s class gives the outside world a really valuable opportunity to learn about an industry that is often villainized and oversimplified in mainstream media. I’m honored by the opportunity to speak to the UCSB students about my career at Grooby and how it has given me a unique platform to speak on topics that are personally important to me, such as destigmatizing porn and its consumption, LGBTQ representation, and changing the narrative of mental health and wellness.”

“The students especially want to hear from Kristel about her work on destigmatizing the industry and porn consumption,” added Penley. “They also want to learn more about her commitment to creating sex-worker affirming mental health services for the adult industry. My students feel they have much to learn from the adult industry about unashamedly realizing their desires for creative freedom and political expression. None could speak to those desires better than Kristel.” 

Constance Penley is a Professor of Film and Media Studies at UC Santa Barbara. Now considered one of the founders of the academic field of porn studies, she co-edited “The Feminist Porn Book: The Politics of Producing Pleasure” with Tristan Taormino, Mirelle Miller-Young, and Celine Parreñas Shimizu.

Penn’s video has amassed over 150,000 views since then, with nearly 889,000 total views on her videos and nearly 13,000 followers and counting. Penn uses Sad But Rad Club to discuss the struggles of mental health and wellness, mental health resources, sex work, and her own identity.
