well, I had to tell them more than 5 times that I want to get paid via ePassporte. And after they finally switched my payment method I stopped getting paid.And the problem is they ignore all my messages.
I am glad NakedDollars became a part of AEBN. The support of AEBN rocks
ok i want to ask a stupid question... Why does it matter if someone does bareback most people know that if you do it you take risks and if your willing to take that risk with the other person why is this all of a sudden a big no no. I mean i dont do it personally but thats cause thats my opinion i dont condem or critisize those who do its their thing.
I will be honest i dont know what goes into making a video i dont make them but i can say that it would be obvious that the people that create them are doing it for a part of the market that wants to see it and if they want to see it they would i assume want to see it un edited.
i dont know i could be completely off base here but doesnt the term freedome of speech really apply here if you dont want to sell a product as offered then dont offer to sell it.
Anyways Hi everyone :)
You would think it would be that simple, right?Quote:

There are several sides to this argument, and everybody thinks they are right about their opinion.
The opposing points of view usually go something like this:
1) Bareback sex is a matter of personal choice, and producers who make bareback content are simply providing a product to those who wish to view it. End of story.
2) Bareback sex eroticizes life-threatening behavior, and impressionable young gay men who don't know any better and who watch bareback movies will assume that having unsafe sex is OK, and will therefore do it themselves. So it's up to the industry to set a good example.
3) Bareback sex is a matter of personal choice, and it sure makes money, so we would love to produce it, but we don't want to get blacklisted by the industry, so we produce condom videos.
That's pretty much what I've gleaned from all the discussions we've had on this board, as well as debates I've gotten into with other folks offline.
Personally, to me, it's the same as smoking or any other life-threatening behavior that people practice. It's never going to go away, and obviously people enjoy participating in it, so we can sit around and bitch and argue as much as we want to about it, but it has been proven through experience and history that people get off on the thrill of the taboo and the risk. As far as I'm concerned, it's all about the survival of the fittest. Those who make responsible personal choices--regardless of what they see presented in movies--will survive. Those who don't...well, they won't.
I like watching bareback movies. I think it's hot. It's the way sex was meant to be had. It's thrilling to watch men go at it with no barriers and restrictions. Personally, I don't even think about the HIV factor of it. It's not about that for me. Obviously, I know that HIV is a concern in our community, but as someone with a BRAIN, I know the difference between what I see depicted in movies and what is the case in real life. It's about fantasy, and in my fantasies, people don't stop to put on condoms, so I like to see porn that reflects my fantasies.
People who blame alcochol for their alcoholism or drugs for their drug abuse problems are really just scape-goating the fact that THEY have a problem being responsible. People who blame bareback content for the spread of HIV are, again, simply pointing the finger in the wrong direction. Of course, I totally feel that porn can be used to help influence people's choices when it comes to sexuality (and for that matter, I intend to shoot content using condoms), but ultimately, it comes down to personal choice and personal responsibility. That's how I feel about it. :)
well i agree with you key words being "Personal Choice" as i said i dont perticipate but i think its about time we all stop trying to make other people change their opinions and lifestyle to what we feel is right. I think thats whats best about our country. you dont have to agree with an opion to validate it.
Did i open another can of worms... I did now everyone eat your worms there are people in china that just wish they had good worms. lol

I may be grasping at straws here , but perhaps it may be a condition put on NS from some of their studios who do not want to be associated with BB content?
I used to work for NS years ago before Holly and Rena got on board and helped them grow their marketing program. I'm a bit surprised by this merger news as AEBN; while huge in the general straight adult VOD market; they have some catching up to do when it comes to design and style sensibility in the gay market. The merger may help them do this as the folks at NS and Cubik Media are great at that.
What I don't quite get is will AEBN gay side and Naked Sword now be competing for customers and affiliates? It makes no sense to have two separate gay VOD programs. While I understand the unease with bareback content to a certain extent, it wold make more sense if NS and AEBN moved all of their gay content together into one program.
It will be interesting to see what happens next, that's all I can say...
Congrats to both companies!!

Did Cubik design and impliment Naked Sword?
Yes, Cubik Media started out as a mainstream hosting and design firm.Quote:
