San Francisco porn powerhouse Raging Stallion Studios today announced that it has completed a merger with Charlotte-based AEBN, a combination that joins one of the leading gay erotic production companies with the top VOD force in the industry.Raging Stallion’s sister company, Pistol Media, is also part of the merger, making for what is the largest consolidation of gay companies to date.
Pistol’s Gunzblazing program will anchor the newly merged affiliate operations, which in conjunction with Naked Sword, will offer customers, stores, and web affiliates a wealth of new opportunities to prosper during troubling economic times.
“We have been negotiation the terms of this merger for some time,” commented RSS President Chris Ward. “It has been a long courtship, but over this extended period we learned that we work together very well and that we all contribute different assets that together form a very powerful team.
We look forward to working with the AEBN team and being part of an amazing new company. We are excited about taking Raging Stallion to the next level!”

Raging Stallion has long been one of the top gay studios, sweeping last year’s GayVN's and other award events with the epic film GRUNTS. This year the studio’s top picture, To The Last Man, has been singled out for a record number of nominations.
Raging Stallion has also been one of the few studios to buck the general downward trend in sales. Indeed, the studio continues to grow month after month and now produces a very large percentage of all high-end product available on the market.

“The beauty of this merger, “ noted Ward, “is that it is between very successful companies---this is not a defensive consolidation, but rather an opportunity for several excellent companies to come together."
Raging Stallion will continue to produce films as it always has—the entire staff and management team remains in place.
Expansion plans include increasing operations at the AEBN offices in Argentina, and producing more content for the AEBN and Naked Sword networks.
