Fleshbot

Fleshbot is an American sex-oriented blog and online publication that covers the adult entertainment industry, erotica, and sex in popular culture. Launched on November 10, 2003, by Nick Denton as part of the Gawker Media network, it was the third title established by the company following Gizmodo and Gawker. The site gained early prominence for its coverage of celebrity sex tapes and its editorial approach, which combined adult content with a witty, journalistic tone. Unlike many contemporary adult outlets, Fleshbot is noted for its non-segregated coverage of both heterosexual and homosexual media.

Over its history, the publication has undergone several changes in ownership. In 2012, it was divested from Gawker Media and acquired by its then-editor-in-chief, Lux Alptraum. It was subsequently purchased in 2014 by SK Intertainment—the parent company of Mr. Skin—and later by NSFW.Army in 2021. Beyond its news and curation services, the site is well known for hosting the annual Fleshbot Awards, a ceremony that recognizes performers and creators across various sectors of the adult industry.
