Celebrates GayVN Awards with Special GayVN Movie Promotions

Exclusive Interviews, Award Ceremony Video, and Photo Gallery Help Affiliates Sell Membership
April 4, 2009

San Francisco - NakedSword.com (www.NakedSword.com) Gay video-on-demand powerhouse NakedSword.com helped put together a legendary GayVN award show this past weekend, and now theyve got the footage to prove it. For three days, the NakedSword network (including the Tim and Roma Show, TheSword.com and GayPornBlog.com) covered the city with photographers and video crews to capture the dozens of porn-star filled events, and is offering the footage to affiliates to help them sell the GayVN-winning movies (including To The Last Man, Verboten, Romans Holiday and Black Meat, White Heat) on NakedSword.com.

The movies part of a special GayVN promotion for members of NakedSword.com are available on a special landing page on NakedSword. Photos of the stars taken on the red carpet, at the afterparty and during the GayVN Awards, as well as a complete video of the ceremony, are all available on TheSword.com.

We know how much fans appreciate access to their favorite stars, said Michael Stabile, Creative Director of NakedSword.com. And we know how little good footage is out there. We spent the past week shooting, compiling and editing the best of the past weekend so that affiliates could offer the experience to their own visitors. NakedSword is more than just a place to watch great movies, were also a way to enter the fun, sex-fueled world of the porn stars.

The entire three-hour GayVN Award show is now available as an embeddable clip to help promote the titles on NakedSword. Smaller clips from the show and the weekend are also available on TheSword.com. NakedSword is also beta-testing an affiliate-friendly player for the clips. For instructions on where to find the clips, how to become a beta-tester or how to embed the players, please contact affiliates@NakedSword.com.

Steve Cruz Chosen as 2009 NakedSwordsMan
February 9, 2009

San Francisco - NakedSword (www.NakedSword.com) ) is excited to announce that its 2009 NakedSwordsMan is Steve Cruz, a beloved furry power-bottom who has lent his gluttonous and contagious sexual appetite to dozens of the most popular studio titles to premiere in recent years. Each year's NakedSwordsMan highlights a member favorite who represents the very best of the electric, sex-hungry performances that fill their porn catalogue. The 36-year-old Raging Stallion exclusive is no stranger to awards: In 2008 Cruz was named Raging Stallion's Man of the Year, and his passionate appearance in Link: the Evolution earned him a Best Group Scene at the 2008 GayVN Awards.

Fans love Steve Cruz because Steve Cruz loves his fans. He recently lent his visible star power to a safe sex campaign called How I Roll (www.howiroll.org), which promotes safe-sex and sexual health awareness. In forming this partnership with Steve Cruz, NakedSword is proud to affirm its long-time commitment to safer sex. In one scorching scene after another, Cruz has proved that safe sex is as hot as it gets, and they look forward to working with Steve to expand on his important public health initiatives in the coming year.

For his latest hands-on endeavor, Steve Cruz has turned to directing titles for Mustang Studios. His first film, Blue Movie, premieres on NakedSword this month, and shooting has recently wrapped on two other titles: XXX and Red Light. "Steve Cruz is a triple-threat," says Tim Valenti, NakedSword CEO. "He is a passionate performer, an influential health advocate and a talented director. His outreach campaign makes us proud, his performances make us weak in the knees, and his new titles for Mustang are among the best videos being released right now."

Cruz's first duty as NakedSwordsMan will be to appear at the CyberSocket Awards on February 9th in Los Angeles, where he will join Tim & Roma on the red carpet as a special guest correspondent.
