press releases

Charlotte, NC – March 20, 2009 – Raging Stallion Studios’ blockbuster cowboy epic “To The Last Man” is now available across the AEBN network of theaters.

The film’s launch on AEBN is a continuation of the exclusive promotions that began in February when “To The Last Man” premiered on the NakedSword Membership site, and is now branching out to include the VOD market. “To The Last Man” is currently the top selling gay DVD of the past twelve months.

One of the most highly acclaimed films of 2008, “To The Last Man” tells the story of rival ranches fighting for water rights in the Old West, sparking controversy over the violence portrayed in the film alongside the hardcore sex. It has been nominated for numerous awards, including the Best Movie Grabby and has earned an astounding 17 nominations from the upcoming GayVN Awards.

Raging Stallion exclusives Ricky Sinz and Scott Tanner star in the film and both received GayVN and Grabby nominations, including Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor respectively. Both are also nominated for Performer of The Year. The power-directing team of Chris Ward, Ben Leon, and Tony Dimarco have been nominated for Best Director.

“”To The Last Man” is an extraordinary film,” says AEBN’s Chris Baker. “We are very excited to have cornered the market with a VOD exclusive on this one-of-a-kind film. It will be a treat for our customers to have access to it through the AEBN network.”

Raging Stallion president Chris Ward noted that AEBN’s VOD reach will greatly expand the audience for the film. “AEBN has the largest reach of any online distribution network and we are all very excited that “To The Last Man” will be made available to this huge customer base. Customers love this movie and we expect it to be one of the year’s biggest online hits!”

The first part, “To The Last Man: The Gathering Storm,” is now available for viewing throughout the AEBN VOD network, with the second part, “Guns Blazing,” planned for a VOD release later this spring.

Charlotte, NC – January 30, 2009 – xPeeps, the adult social networking site, celebrated its three-year anniversary this month.

Debuting in 2006, xPeeps is now over a million members strong, making it one of the biggest adult sites on the internet. Thousands of stars, studios and directors have joined, and xPeeps has proven to be a great industry resource for making connections. Amateurs seeking a big break and cam girls looking to make their marks have also flocked to the site, taking advantage of features such as the Casting Couch and xPeeps Live to help make their dreams come true. But most importantly, the fans and surfers have made xPeeps their destination to catch up on adult news, devour the latest movie reviews, or show support to their favorites.

“We set out to be a resource for the industry and that’s exactly what we’ve become, among other things,” says xPeeps’s Suzann Knudsen. “We want everyone involved to look at us as ‘ the ‘ community for the adult industry and I think we’ve succeeded in that.”

In the spring of 2008, xPeeps began throwing a series of highly successful parties that have been free for xPeeps members and have been co-hosted by some of the biggest names in the industry, including Red Light District, Adam & Eve, and Zero Tolerance. They have proven a great way to promote new studio releases, as well as allow the industry to touch base on a relaxed, casual level, cementing friendships and forging new avenues in a highly competitive world. And it certainly doesn’t hurt to have some of the world’s most beautiful women spicing up the nights!

“We connect fans with their favorites in adult in a big way,” continues Knudsen. “That’s probably one of the things I love best about xPeeps.”

xPeeps expects 2009 to be another banner year, with improvements and upgrades already in the works that keep the users’ needs firmly in mind. A number of unexpected enhancements are also in development, which will allow xPeeps users to experience the adult world in brand new ways, and give the industry new strategies to capitalize on this growth.

“We’ve got a lot of momentum from 2008 built up,” she adds. “We’re not ready to slow down.”

Charlotte, NC – January 19, 2009 – AEBN, the innovator on Video on Demand, has begun its exclusive streaming of X-Play’s latest porn parody, Not the Bradys XXX: Marcia, Marcia, Marcia.

As part of the VOD deal between the two companies, AEBN has an exclusive on X-Play’s immensely popular adult spoofs, and Not the Bradys XXX: Marcia, Marcia, Marcia marks the third title to go live on the AEBN system. The first was the original Bradys parody, Not the Bradys XXX, followed by Not Bewitched XXX.

Like the films that preceded it, Not the Bradys XXX: Marcia, Marcia, Marcia features a spot-on script, pitch-perfect sets, and an impressive cast of stars, including Teagan Presley as Marcia, in what has been billed as her last “boy/girl” scene on film.

“The success of the first Not the Bradys XXX was fantastic, so we are all so thrilled to be able to offer Marcia, Marcia, Marcia through our network,” says AEBN’s Erin Burns. “I plan on this movie being a great success and we are going to be promoting it to our webmasters and users.”

When news of X-Play’s first Bradys spoof hit, mainstream entertainment and news jumped to cover the film, earning X-Play an impressive amount of mainstream coverage – and gaining them a new audience in the process.

Not the Bradys XXX: Marcia, Marcia, Marcia is currently available through the AEBN network of theaters, and custom sales tools to promote it are now available through the Webmaster Section of AEBN.net.

“Eva, Alektra, Kayden, Ava, Bree, Teagan, Courtney, Sunny, and set around the roller derby? Zero Tolerance and Adam & Eve outdid themselves with this one,” says AEBN’s Erin Burns. “Add to that music by The Mother Truckers and this movie is gold. Not to mention that hand-lacing on those boxcovers is just damn sexy.”

“I foresee that this title will do quite well in the AEBN theater system,” adds Zero Tolerance’s Tony Sontoro. “Zero Tolerance has been a partner with AEBN since 2003 and we do not see our partnership ending anytime soon. They are an amazing company to work with, and EB has always supported our brand.”

Both parts of Roller Dollz are now available on AEBN here and here.

Charlotte, NC – July 16, 2008 — AEBN and NakedSword announce today that an exciting new payout option is now available for webmasters looking to promote NakedSword Loaded: a generous flat payout of $25 for every signup they send to the NakedSword membership site.

Members of the site have the ability to watch as much as they want for one monthly fee that gives them access to exclusive content from today’s best gay studios which no other membership site has — making it an ideal destination to which to direct traffic.

The revenue-sharing option is still available, but the new $25 pay-per-signup option gives webmasters a chance to promote NakedSword’s Loaded and receive a guaranteed payout as soon as new members join the site. The chance to receive flat payouts for new members to the site is a special boon for webmasters, especially with the host of sales tools available to support them, including banners, linking codes, galleries, and free clips, all available through AEBN.net’s webmaster section.

“This is a great opportunity for webmasters,” says Ana Goforth, AEBN’s Director of Sales. “NakedSword is the leader in the gay market, and its membership site is loaded with exclusive content that surfers can’t find anywhere else. No other membership site offers the range of high-quality content that NakedSword can.”

The merger of the affiliate programs comes over a year after the companies announced their merger in January 2007. Both companies have benefited from the merger, with it dramatically strengthening AEBN’s presence in the gay market, while giving NakedSword access to AEBN’s established market base. NakedSword is one of the strongest brands in the gay VOD market, offering the newest titles from premier gay adult studios along with its exclusive programming and co-productions like the award-winning Tim and Roma Show, GRUNTS and Dirty Tricks.

The combined program also makes statistics from both programs readily available in one centralized location in the Webmasters’ section of AEBN.net for the affiliates’ convenience.
