Bizarre, beachy fetish is blowing up with US porn fans this summer: report
It's a beach ball. And it's making people very hot under the inflatable collar.
According to a new report by adult video platform Clips4Sale, summer is turning up the temperature on some steamy — and very specific — kinks, including a 46.85% surge in content featuring people blowing up beach balls.

3 Beach balls are inflating more than egos this summer — and they've got fetish fans feeling the heat.

Yes, that's what people are watching — hopefully behind closed cabana doors.
'We often think of summer as a slow season for adult content because people are out of the house more,' a representative for the sexy site wrote.

'But summer also awakens these specific, beachy fetishes that lie dormant the rest of the year,' they explained.
Turns out, while you're worrying about avoiding sunburn and getting bikini waxes, someone out there is sexually fixated on scuba gear — up 37.44% — or obsessed with pool floaties.
Even sweat is getting its turn in the sun, with views of glistening, sticky clips spiking nearly 18%.
Swimming content alone skyrocketed by 189.72% — because nothing says 'summer fling' like synchronized splashing and a strategically unzipped wetsuit.

And this isn't just a seasonal slip — it's part of a growing national trend toward boutique kinks.

Back in February, Clips4Sale published its annual United States of Fetish report — revealing that Americans' horniest habits are both highly regional and off-the-wall.
When entering 2025, the data showed 'several converging trends,' the site's Avery Martin said at the time.

'We've seen tremendous growth not only in giantess and vore fantasies, but also chastity, ballbusting and pegging,' they revealed.
That's right — the most popular fetish nationwide is the giantess fantasy, or getting hot and bothered over towering women who could crush you like a Capri Sun.
3 Back in February, The Post covered Clips4Sale's jaw-dropping fetish map — proving America's kinks are as wild as they are local.

New Yorkers in particular can't get enough of it, along with citizens of New Jersey, Tennessee, Indiana, D.C., and Arizona.
Martin explained the phenomenon: 'While there's a public resurgence of masculine energy, privately men are fantasizing about powerful women. It may be alphas in the streets, but it's beta in the sheets.'
Close behind was vore — the fantasy of being eaten or doing the eating — which overtook giantess in places like California and Nevada.
The South, meanwhile, keeps it light with a thirst for 'tickling' and 'wrestling,' while Utah's top search? Balloons. We'll leave that one alone.

'Part of the explanation may lie in volume,' Martin added. 'The number of searches nearly doubled in the past year. Americans are increasingly open to exploring fetish, and states are finding their freak.'
From pedal-pumping in Mississippi to testicle torture (aka 'ballbusting') in Connecticut, it's clear: this summer, kink is a contact sport — and your average beach day just got a lot more blown up.
So if you catch someone side-eyeing your pool floatie a little too long, don't be surprised. It's not just summer love — it's summer lust.

‘Weapons' was the big gun at the box office, raking in $18.2M on its opening day
The theaters were definitely locked and loaded. 'Weapons' blasted to No.1 on Friday as its opener pulled in $18.2 million, according to The Numbers. The flick, which The Post praised as 'the best horror movie of the summer' could be enjoying an over $30 million opening weekend. Its star, Josh Brolin, who plays the father of one of 17 children who run away on the same night, told Collider why the film stands out amongst others in the genre. 'Right now, with so much content, you're just watching things on whatever streaming service you're on, and you're just going, 'F–k, why is this so boring, man? Why?' And just go to the next thing. 'It's all the same s–t.' 3 Julia Garner stars in the mystery horror 'Weapons.' ©Warner Bros/Courtesy Everett Collection 'Freakier Friday,' which The Post called 'a decent comeback movie' for its star Lindsay Lohan, landed in second place with sales of $12.7 million. The long-awaited sequel to 2003's 'Freaky Friday' — which has Jamie Lee Curtis reprising her role — could be looking at an up to $32 million opening weekend haul. Curtis explained to USA Today why the sequel took more than two decades. 3 Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan reprise their roles in 'Freakier Friday,' a sequel to the 2003 original. ©Walt Disney Co./Courtesy Everett Collection 'There was no possible way we could have done a sequel to 'Freaky Friday' until Lindsay was old enough chronologically to be the mother of a 15-year-old,' she told the outlet. 'The Fantastic Four: First Steps' flew down two notches to third place, earning $4.5 million on its third Friday in theaters. The superhero film, distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures, saw a 66% drop during its second week at the box office and Disney CEO Bob Iger addressed the elephant in the room during a recent Q&A with analysts. 'Even though, for instance, there have been 'Fantastic Four' movies before, we kind of consider the one that we did an original property in many respects because we're introducing those characters to people who are not familiar with them at all,' he said. 3 Pedro Pascal plays Mister Fantastic in 'The Fantastic Four: First Steps.' ©Walt Disney Co./Courtesy Everett Collection In fourth was the family animated comedy 'The Bad Guys 2,' down two spots from last Friday, with a $3.07 million take. In less than a week in theaters, the Pixar film earned $50 million globally, surpassing the entire box office earnings of the animation company's 2021 movie 'Luca,' according to Collider. 'The Naked Gun' fell two places to fifth, with $2.37 million in sales. The legacy sequel, which was released last Friday, is star Liam Neeson's highest-grossing movie of the decade.

Ozzy Osbourne's Greatest Hits Rocks To New Peaks, Weeks After His Passing
Ozzy Osbourne sees 10 different songs under his own name reach the charts this week as Americans mourn his death. That sum doesn't include any Black Sabbath titles, and those cuts make his chart takeover even more impressive. The focus for many listeners and longtime fans is on individual tunes, as just one full-length by the late superstar appears on the charts. In some cases, that project is still leading the charge after surging in the wake of the sad news, and on several tallies it even reaches a never-before-seen peak. The Essential Ozzy Osbourne Leads Posthumous Resurgence The Essential Ozzy Osbourne is the collection that most Americans have turned to as they revisit the singer-songwriter's catalog. It's common for compilations to become the focus of sales and streaming activity after a major musician dies, but what's notable here is that both Osbourne and Black Sabbath experienced massive weeks on the charts last period — and yet, this time around, The Essential Ozzy Osbourne still climbs. The Essential Ozzy Osbourne Reaches New Streaming and Sales Highs In just its second week ever on the nation's main streaming albums list, the Top Streaming Albums chart, The Essential Ozzy Osbourne jumps from No. 9, where it debuted, to No. 8. The title also soars to a new best on the Top Album Sales ranking. On that tally, the compilation was at No. 30 a week ago and is now up to No. 19, establishing a new best showing as it ascends. Ozzy Osbourne's Compilation Holds No. 1 At the same time that The Essential Ozzy Osbourne climbs to new high points on those two tallies, the compilation is also ruling several other rankings. Osbourne's most popular hits-packed set continues to rule the Top Rock & Alternative Albums, Top Rock Albums, and Top Hard Rock Albums charts. The Essential Ozzy Osbourne Slips Slightly The Essential Ozzy Osbourne only falls on one of the six tallies where it's currently found. On the all-genre Billboard 200, the compilation slips from No. 7 to No. 10. Last week, Osbourne earned a new posthumous top 10 as the set entered the highest tier for the first time. Classic Ozzy Osbourne Songs Reach New Peaks Of Osbourne's 10 solo cuts that appear on at least one chart apiece this week, half reach a new peak on at least one list. That doesn't include another two that debut, automatically setting career bests as they start. It's a big week for Osbourne's music all around the world, one which highlights how beloved he still is to this day, even after his death. 'Crazy Train,' 'Mama, I'm Coming Home,' and 'No More Tears' Osbourne's final chart surge is proving to be one of his biggest. Following his death at age 76, songs like 'Crazy Train,' 'Mama, I'm Coming Home,' and 'No More Tears' in particular have surged in streams, with several climbing into the top 10 of genre-specific rankings for the first time.

Howard Stern staffers prepping for show's demise, withholding best material as future uncertain
The writing has 'been on the wall for well over a year now' that SiriusXM wouldn't be renewing Howard Stern's colossal contract — and his employees have been taking advantage, 'coasting' on the clock and trolling for new gigs, two current show staffers told The Post. This week, reports surfaced that the 'Howard Stern Show's' '19-year run at SiriusXM was nearing its end, with his $500 million contract expiring at the end of the year and an audience that's apparently dwindled from 20 million a day to 125,000. Some of the show's writers have been their best jokes for themselves, to use after the show's eventual demise, one worker said. Advertisement Staffers said they're certain the show's ending this winter, whether by Howard's choice or SiriusXM's. GC Images 'Most of us have been coasting at work the last year,' because 'we know he's retiring, whether by choice or because he's forced out,' admitted one of the longtime staffers who dished to The Post this week. Stern's employees have been putting out feelers for other showbiz gigs, the two said. Advertisement 'It's been hard, because the industry [in New York City] is so incestuous, so you don't know who's talking to who,' the first employee said. 'I'm just hanging in there until this is all sorted out, and then I will take some time to unwind after all this,' the staffer continued. 'I'm a fan and it's been a big part of my life for so long, but it hasn't been fun for a while.' Before taking his annual summer break, Stern, 71, hinted in staff meetings his retirement is nigh. The staffers said they've only heard rumors regarding Stern's future at SiriusXM — nothing definitive from management or the self-proclaimed 'King of All Media' himself. The looming end of the once mighty radio personality comes after a sharp change in Stern's politics. Advertisement The radio host used to maintain a friendship with President Trump, but came out against him when he ran against Hillary Clinton in 2015. Once a strong supporter of Republicans like former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani and Governor George Pataki, Stern has been accused of going woke and was an infamously ardent backer of President Biden and Kamala Harris. Stern's audience has gotten smaller since his 'woke' turn in the late 2010s. GC Images 'I don't know if its wokeness that alienated some of his audience, or if he just got tamer with age, but whatever it is, its apparent no one wants to hear it anymore,' the second staffer offered. Advertisement The political U-turn was done to appease the Hollywood elite, the employee said. 'I think he's content to be out in there in the Hamptons with his celebrity friends,' the first staffer offered. 'He likes being liked by famous people. That seems more important [to him] than his legacy.' Some ribbed Stern, calling him 'Hollywood Howie' after he started hanging around with the likes of Jimmy Kimmel, Jennifer Aniston, Jerry Seinfeld, and John Stamos during the late 2000s and early to mid 2010s. But since COVID Stern's become 'a hermit,' the second staffer said. 'Everyone knows he hasn't been the same since COVID. He does the show from his [Southampton] basement. And it's been sad to see how irrelevant he's become,' the employee added. Stern has also suffered immense loss in recent years, with the deaths of his father, Ben, in 2022, his best friend and stylist, Ralph Cirella, in 2023, and then his agent, Don Buchwald, in 2024. Fans have complained for years about the show's dwindling quality, and Stern's kids-gloves approach with certain guests he once would've skewered. Advertisement 'His passion hasn't been there, and that can be infectious,' the first staffer said. 'When your boss doesn't even seem like he wants to be there, its like, why should I bust my ass?' Stern and SiriusXM did not return requests for comment.
