Austin King ran into a problem during the RSVP process for last month’s Fourth Annual PornCrush Pool Party. More than any year since the event’s inception, he found himself hitting the “REJECT” button countless times.
King wasn’t trying to be stingy.
Simply put, there wasn’t enough space to accommodate everyone who wanted to attend.
“I suppose that’s a good problem to have,” the website’s owner/editor said. “It means we’re doing something right.”
Indeed, PornCrush’s annual function has quickly become one of the adult industry’s most-anticipated yearly gatherings. With more than 300 guests, the attendance was up from the first party in 2023, which drew just under 200.
Backed by Platinum sponsors BANG! and STD Hero, the 2026 rendition was held at a new location, transitioning from a plush shoot house in Reseda to a lavish, 10,600-square foot mansion in the Hollywood Hills, providing ample space—and gorgeous photo opportunities—for all of the stars on hand.
And, oh, what a star-studded cast it was.
Established talents such as Kira Noir, Melody Marks, Chloe Amour, Chanel Camryn, Coco Lovelock, Scarlett Alexis, Penny Barber, Cheerleader Kait, Brittney Kade, and Octavia Red hobnobbed with surging first-year performers like Ava Amira, Summer Kline, Hazel Heart, Maisey Monroe and Mira Luv.
Even models who have only been shooting for a few months—Carly Kiss, Kayliana Nova, Lana Gee, to name a few—were invited by King and his crew, giving them an invaluable opportunity to network and be embraced by their new community.

“The sense of camaraderie that permeates throughout the evening is always my favorite part of the party,” King said. “Frankly, it’s the main reason I do it. Like I always say, everyone at the party may not know each other, but we all know each other. There’s a commonality there that’s unlike anything in any other industry.
“We truly are one big family, and the vibe at the pool party is a reminder of that.”
The party included an open bar—complete with a frozen margarita machine—and food from popular Mexican eatery Taqueria Tapatio, who sent three attendants to prepare fresh street tacos and quesadillas on a portable flat top grill.
LA-based Stay Golden Photo Booth set up a station in the front entryway and provided glossy prints to party-goers just seconds after they stepped away from the lens. Representatives from BANG! and Adult Time interviewed attendees throughout the night while DJ Sky spun hits near the pool.
Arguably the most popular attraction, once again, was the tent manned by Dogtown Enterprises, a Venice-based cannabis company that hand-rolled joints and a station for dabs.
“I was glad to see that people were tipping the bartenders and making some purchases from Dogtown,” King said. “Other than that, there was no reason to bring any money into the party. Drink and food prices at so many events are getting out of hand. People are tired of paying $28 for a vodka-soda.
“I think it puts people in a better mood when they know everything is free.”

And that wouldn’t be the case, King said, without the financial backing of BANG!, STD Hero and additional sponsors Mike Adriano/Nympho, Elizabeth Skylar, Alexis Fawx, GirlsDoVR, Tad Pole, Our Erotic Journey, Spiegler Girls, Foxxx Models and InVision Models.
The funds also helped pay for the gift bags awarded to winners of PornCrush’s bikini, twerk and wet t-shirt contests.
“We spent more than $1,000 on those gift bags,” King said. “They weren’t just filled with cheap condoms, lube samples and stickers. There was some really good stuff in there.”
Former AVN Trans Performer of the Year Brittney Kade won first place in the Best Bikini contest, which was hosted by reigning AVN Best New Starlet Cheerleader Kait. Tiffani Time and Mira Luv placed second and third, respectively, while Maddie Wren and Erotic Medusa received honorable mention kudos.
Tiffani Time took the mic a short time later to host Wet T-Shirt contest, which was won by buxom perennial Performer of the Year nominee Octavia Red. My Cookie Jar came in second and Elizabeth Skylar placed third.
The biggest audience feedback came during the twerk contest, in part because hosts Chocolate God and Slim Poke did a masterful job of revving up the crowd and encouraging contestants as they moved their moneymakers. Erotic Medusa claimed the crown, edging out Cheerleader Kait in a twerk off. Zoey Uso was third.
