Titan Vice President Keith Webb told XBIZ that the “Fear” trailer posted at PornoTube.com has been viewed more than 78,000 times, prompting the studio to put up its own trailer site at Fear.TitanMen.com.
Webb said that the fair is a good opportunity to promote safe sex practices amongst the gay and fetish communities, as well as all those who participate in alternative lifestyles. Proceeds from the Folsom Street Fair go to benefit various Bay Area nonprofits and charities through the Folsom Street Events organization.
“TitanMen promotes fetish and leather play as safer and morally responsible alternatives to the growing trend of bareback within the gay adult entertainment industry,” Webb said. “By portraying and eroticizing safer sexual alternatives, TitanMen hopes to lead by example. While other studios promote and sell bareback films that portray and eroticize high-risk unprotected anal sex, TitanMen will hold firm in its steadfast commitment to the community by portraying and promoting condom-only and safer sex in its films.”
Titan owner Bruce Cam added also his support of GLBT charities and views on safe sex. “As a leader within the gay adult industry, TitanMen is proud to be one of the largest studio contributors to nonprofit organizations specializing in gay men’s health and education,” Cam said.
“We have been able to show that protection and profit can go hand-in-hand by producing the best-selling gay adult films in the world while still maintaining a condom only/safer sex policy. The greatest gift we can give back to the community is the portrayal of safer sex and the use of condoms in our films. The value of a single human life is worth more than any amount of money we could ever contribute.”
On Friday evening, Titan will co-host a “Fear” release party with gay video-on-demand provider Naked Sword, to be held at the 440 Castro Bar. The event is a fundraiser for the newly formed TitanMen/Folsom Fund, which benefits various GLBT charities, and a screening of “Fear” will begin at 10 p.m.
On Saturday, from 1-4 p.m., Titan will join with BigMuscle.com in a fundraiser for the AIDS Emergency Fund, to be held at Mezzanine, located at 444 Jessie St.
Saturday night, the TitanMen will appear at the Magnitude dance party, with presenting sponsor Naked Sword. TitanMen exclusives Damien Crosse, Diesel Washington, Tony Buff and Derek da will perform, and Tony Buff, the newest TitanMen exclusive, will perform a live hardcore BDSM scene with his real-life “boy” Derek da Silva.
Finally, on Sunday, Titan will host a “Fear” mega-booth outside the Powerhouse Bar, on the corner of Folsom Street and Dore Alley. All 11 TitanMen exclusives will appear to take photos and sign for fans, and there will be special fair pricing on a variety of Titan product including DVD titles “Folsom Filth,” “Folsom Leather” and the entire Fallen Angel series.
Directed by Brian Mills, a two-DVD director’s hardcore edition of “Fear” will be available at the fair at special pricing. NakedSword also will be broadcasting and releasing the movie on its VOD network throughout Folsom weekend.
Joining Titan and Naked Sword at the “Fear” booth, fetish gear retailer LeatherPost.com will be promoting and selling fetish gear seen in “Fear,” “Folsom Leather” and “Folsom Filth.”
