With the GAYVN Awards right around the corner those wanting to get a look at this year's nominees can check out NakedSword.com. The popular live streaming and video website is hosting exclusive clips and videos of several nominated titles.

Both members and nonmembers of NakedSword.com will be able to stream and/or download the nominated titles, which include Falcon's Aftershock, Colt's Reload, Hot House's Skuff 2, and Lucas Entertainment's Vengeance 2.

"It only made sense," said NakedSword.com President Tim Valenti in a press release this week. "We had access to the films and we have an eager and informed member base."

Several of the nominated titles have already been available on the site, which features an extensive video library that holds close to 3,000 full-length titles from major studios like Falcon, Hot House, Rascal, All Worlds, Jet Set, and Colt.

According to Valenti, featuring the movies for streaming and downloading is a way to honor gay adult content in much the same fashion as the Oscars celebrate more mainstream cinema. "We wanted to build a space that would celebrate the spirit of the GAYVNs while also allowing visitors to view nominated movies. Everyone flocks to mainstream Hollywood awards. We thought we'd highlight the best in our industry,' he said.

SAN FRANCISCO - There is much to be gained from a good education, and Strong Will: The Assertion, the latest release from COLT Studio Group's Buckshot Productions, demonstrates that both the mind and the body are terrible things to waste.

Some renowned thinkers have said that in order for the mind to evolve one must apply and assert oneself toward higher learning and self-discipline. But what happens when physical desires apply and assert themselves? Some philosophers believe that the mind must overcome the will of the flesh, but the flesh has a will of its own, and luckily for the characters in this tale it is a very strong will.

Strong Will reveals what really goes on behind those ivy-covered walls at institutions of higher learning. Although these young men are supposed to be learning about the philosophers who admonished the drive for sex in favor of the pursuit of knowledge, all these boys seem able to focus on is having sex with other student bodies. A certain philosophy book spends more time hitting the floor than anyone spends hitting the books.

The Boys of Buckshot compose the student body in Strong Will. Under the strict and disciplined direction of the Head Master of Boys, Kristofer Weston, the cast of Strong Will provides a textbook example of lab exercises in the ways of the flesh.

Strong Will features Buckshot Freshmen Guy Parker, Donny Malone and Trystian Sweet. They are joined by Buckshot Sophomores Mason Wyler, Tory Mason, Zack Randall and Omer. With Buckshot Big Man On Campus Dean Phoenix, the guys demonstrate how to rise to the head of the class.

The movie will be available from Paladin Video beginning April 25. Contact Laurie in the U.S. or Cisco with wholesale inquiries.
