NakedSword.com Says No More Studio Contracts

Gay adult streaming video specialists NakedSword.com announced that it will no longer pursue exclusive contracts with studios.

While NakedSword has never required exclusivity agreements of its business partners, the company said they feel that the current climate in adult industry calls for a recommitment to better business principles.

"We are committed to helping all the studios who work with us increase revenue from their content, which is why we never strong arm anyone into signing exclusive contracts with us," NakedSword.com president Tim Valenti said in a statement. "We understand gay business and its reliance on relationships over legal contracts, so we want our studios to be able to work with everyone, and that way everyone succeeds."

Despite NakedSword.com having garnered a cadre of studios who choose to distribute solely with NakedSword, Valenti stressed his agreements are non-binding and exclusivity is not a requirement.

"It's in our best interest for our studios to have a positive, non-adversarial relationship with their online partners," Valenti said. "Forcing them to adhere to exclusive arrangements is ultimately detrimental, not only to them, but to the industry in general."

"We want to continue to provide the best and widest selection for our consumers," said NakedSword.com director of marketing Reena Patel. "Companies that pressure studios into premature agreements are not only limiting the cash flow for that studio, but denying potential video consumers access to those films."

NakedSword.com has been a leader in gay adult streaming video since 1997. Its membership model allows users unlimited access to its online library of 3,000 videos featuring full-length titles from over 100 studios including Falcon, Rascal, Titan, Colt, Hot House, Lucas Entertainment, and Jet Set.
