SAN FRANCISCO — NakedSword.com will begin streaming CockyBoys' The Haunting today as part of an on-going partnership with the New York-based studio. The release marks the first time the movie will appear outside the CockyBoys members area.
"We pride ourselves on finding and securing the best in gay adult film," said Tim Valenti, President of NakedSword. "This is an incredible film and I've been after director Jake Jaxson to let us screen it for our members since I saw it last fall."
Jake Jaxson's The Haunting is an erotically charged psychological thriller that first debuted on Cockyboys.com at the end of 2012, and is one of the videos the site credits with a revival of art and storytelling in gay adult film. Reviewers loved the intricate erotic tale when it debuted late last year. Jack Manly called the release "one of the best gay porn releases ever" and Bradford Matthews of Fleshbot suggested that with its release, CockyBoys was "revolutionizing the way we watch porn… something you have to see to believe."
The partnership between the two entities is fitting. This spring, NakedSword was named Best Megasite at the 2013 Grabbys, tying CockyBoys for most overall wins at the ceremony.
Valenti expects the title to do exceedingly well due to pent-up demand. It is currently number one on the TLA Video DVD pre-orders list for weeks.
"This is part of a long partnership with one of the best directors and studios in the business," said Valenti. "We look forward to giving it the exposure it deserves."
CockyBoys’ Jake Jaxson says, "NakedSword is now our first stop for all of our features outside of CockyBoys. They are one of our most valued partners in the business and their platforms reach is vast, I'm happy that this special film will reach an even larger audience than it has already. He goes on to say, "You can be sure that come September you'll see RoadStrip with all the extras and bonuses on NakedSword before you see it anywhere else."
