NakedSword and AEBN merged in 2007 to form the largest gay online distribution company in the world; the addition of award-winning Raging Stallion (To The Last Man, GRUNTS) and Pistol Media (Gunzblazing.com, FistingCentral.com) creates a gay media empire that stretches across multiple continents and into all forms of distribution.
“Raging Stallion will continue to operate the same way it always has,” said Scott Coffman, President of AEBN. “It’s a valuable and profitable production house… But we hope they can also help advise us on our own productions in both the gay and straight markets to help us help our valued partners increase their own production capablities and expand their reach.”
The combined forces of the company should help the gay adult industry as a whole.
“This is a rought market for studios and even with this latest pairing, we know we can’t do it alone,” says Tim Valenti, President of NakedSword. “We hope that our increased reach, our ability to assist in production and our expanded promotional opportunity will keep our partner studios prosperous while the economy rebounds.”
(Of course, we’d be remiss if we didn’t mention The Sword’s place in the above media empire. As the incredibly handsome bastard offspring of NakedSword.com, we’re just happy to be able to continue feeding off the lube samples in the break room. It goes without saying that we will still love and coddle all our pets in the great big porn world equally.)
