    Adult star Johnny Rapid says retirement because of COVID-19 was a joke

    Calm down, calm down… He’s not actually going anywhere.

    Prolific adult star Johnny Rapid shocked fans on Twitter yesterday by announcing that he was retiring from films because of COVID-19, but it turns out it was just a joke.

    The star, who has starred in countless films took to Twitter to tell his fans that he was retiring. Saying “I’m officially retiring from porn as of this moment”

    However, he later updated that status, not on Twitter but on the AVN website, saying,

    “Hey lovers,
    yesterday I’ve posted a joke on Twitter saying that I would retire from porn because of the whole CoronaV situation which makes it hard to meet people, but it seems that some followers took it seriously.

    I won’t bother to explain myself on social media in details; that it was a joke etc… but since we are in an exclusive trust circle here: No, I won’t let you down, this industry has been really good to me and I can totally feel all your love, it gives me strength everyday to work harder to please your fantasies.”

    He also added that he was “way too young or too kinky” to leave porn.

    So there you have it. Panic over. Johnny Rapid is not going anywhere you can check him out on the Men.com website.

  • Coronavirus could be spread through rimming

    Coronavirus could be spread through rimming

    Keeping clean is essential RN

    According to new research by scientists COVID-19 could be spread person to person via rimming, after they discovered traces of the virus in patients of those who had been infected.

    What’s even more concerning once the patient had no infected cells in their respiratory system, their poop still contained traces.

    According to the report from Gastro Journal, swabs of urine, stool and tissues were taken from 73 hospitalised patients. It found that 53 per cent of the patients tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 RNA in their stool samples.

    17 of those still had traces even after their respiratory system was clear.

    The report said it is possible for a “faecal-oral transmission route” meaning that those people who engage in rimming could be at risk of infection.

    Of course the same could be said for those who don’t wash their hands after going to the loo. Faecal matter can find its way on to the hands – and spread from person to person or person to object – like phones and door handles.

    In any case, it’s probably wise to use moist toilet wipes after using the loo and whipping out the old douche if you’re in the mood for licking the chocolate cave.

    The best advice from the NHS is to stay at home and self-isolate if you have a high temperature and a new continuous cough.

    It also advocates:

    • wash your hands with soap and water often – do this for at least 20 seconds
    • always wash your hands when you get home or into work
    • use hand sanitiser gel if soap and water are not available
    • cover your mouth and nose with a tissue or your sleeve (not your hands) when you cough or sneeze
    • put used tissues in the bin immediately and wash your hands afterwards
    • try to avoid close contact with people who are unwell
  • Daily Express slammed for publishing “VILE” column

    Daily Express slammed for publishing “VILE” column

    The Daily Express has been slammed for publishing a column by anti-equality, former Conservative minister, Ann Widdecombe.

    In the column, which saw Widdecombe’s name trending on Twitter last night (13th March), the right-wing politician wrote, “We have had the scare of SARs, bird flu, Ebola and of course AIDS. None proved as devastating as feared.“

    She also called for “a sense of proportion in the face of the financial markets going into meltdown, aeroplanes being grounded and shops shutting their doors”

    It is to be noted that AIDS, which killed thousands of gay and bi men in the 80s and 90s, has caused over 32 million deaths worldwide. 

    The UK’s Pride Organiser’s Network blasted the Daily Express editorial team for allowing the column to be printed.

    They wrote, that they had come to “expect offensive, anti LGBTQ+ columns from Ann Widdecombe but comparing the coronavirus to AIDS and then suggesting it won’t be as devastating as feared is VILE!”

    It then took the publisher to task saying, “[The Daily Express] should be ashamed for allowing this abhorrent column to be published! #ShameOnYou

    As of yet, the column does not appear on the paper’s online platform.

    Drag Race UK’s Baga Chipz pulls out of Belfast gig after Flu-like symptoms

    We’re hoping she feels “much betta” soon

    Drag Race UK superstar Baga Chipz has had to pull out of a performance in Belfast, Northern Ireland, this weekend, after being advised to stay at home and rest up.

    The Queen, who came third in the first-ever series of Drag Race UK took to Twitter to apologise to fans for having to cancel her scheduled performance, saying, that she had “been advised to stay home due to not feeling very well”.

    As Europe has become the “epic-centre” of the Coronavirus outbreak, it’s probably wise not to make any travel or work arrangements if you’re feeling unwell.

    She then shared that she had “cough and flu like symptoms”.

    She also added that although it might be just a run-of-the-mill cold or that she was just feeling run down, she felt that “it wouldn’t be fair to potentially put people at risk”.
