SAN FRANCISCO, CA — Gay porn powerhouse NakedSword may be based in San Francisco, but for its newest series, it chases the New York hipster aesthetic. NakedSword partnered with New York-based DirtyBoyVideo to create a new series comprised of what the site describes as "Brooklyn realness, raw enthusiasm and misspent youth." The debut scene from the new series Down & Dirty, featuring New Yorkers' Giovanni Lovell and Jimmy Roman, is now playing only on NakedSword.
"We partnered with DirtyBoyVideo to create this series because we wanted to capture an East Village/Brooklyn vibe. They know this scene, because they live it. They are the real deal," says Tim Valenti, President of NakedSword. "As we grow our original productions, we're increasingly looking to partner with people who can deliver the best of their genre. We want to help studios grow and make NakedSword the home base for creative, original adult programming, like an HBO or Netflix."
Down & Dirty isn't NakedSword's first attempt to capture a younger, rougher, more 'hipster' gay aesthetic. NakedSword and DirtyBoyVideo partnered on the successful gay porn sitcom series Dirty Tricks which skyrocketed to national attention in 2008 after star Crazy James appeared as crazy as he did on Big Brother. Also, NakedSword's explicit hit indie feature, I Want Your Love, made international news after it was banned in Australia and defended by James Franco.
"We like taking risks and going after new markets," says Valenti. "These guys aren't the buffed, West Hollywood gym rats having sex in a rented mansion — though we do have plenty of that on the site — they're real guys having real sex in a real place. We're really excited to show the new series to our members."
Owner and director of DirtyBoyVideo Andy Fair says, "I was thrilled to produce this content for NakedSword and I'm excited because of their huge platform that it will be seen by a large audience around the world. We created an edgy series that brings some real east coast swag to NakedSword's San Francisco coolness. I'm sure fans are going to eat it up!"
