Manwin Closes Brazzers' Pornstars Punishment

LUXEMBOURG — Manwin has closed shop on Brazzers-branded PornstarsPunishment.com, a rough-sex themed adult website.

Manwin said the site had been closed down with the intent of "keeping in line with the growth and direction Manwin would like its brands to take."

"The acquisition of Twistys, licensing agreement with Playboy Enterprises, and launch of Babes.com all embrace the high glamour niche we're targeting," said Frank L, Manwin's vice president of production. "If you've been paying attention to the brands we're highlighting, the termination of Pornstars Punishment should come as no surprise."

The announcement said that even though the site has been closed down, all revenue sharing will be paid out to affiliates. Questions should be directed to nick@brazzers.com.

Customers of PornstarsPunishment.com will be offered a free membership to other Manwin-owned content.
