FlirtGO
Flirt4Free, Twistbox launch mobile
website in Portugal
Live cams heavyweight Flirt4Free and
mobile carrier billing company Twistbox
Entertainment have launched FlirtGO
with Vodafone in Portugal. FlirtGO is
an adult live cams interactive mobile
website built for customers who want
to pay using mobile carrier billing.
Twistbox has added FlirtGO to its
affiliate program. New affiliates can sign
up at Twistbox.com. Twistbox is the
exclusive provider of the FlirtGO offer,
but Flirt4Free plans to add links to
this offer through its affiliate program
as well. As FlirtGO coverage expands,
Flirt4Free affiliates will be able to opt-in
to show their qualified traffic this high-
converting offer.
“Portugal is the proof of concept,”
said Jeff Wilson, Flirt4Free director
of business development. “With the
help of our friends at Twistbox, we’re
aiming to expand FlirtGO to five more
countries by the end of the year.”
“At a time when innovation and
new products have been lacking in the
mobile space, we’re very excited to
launch FlirtGO and offer users a truly
live and interactive experience,” said
Ler Khodaverdy, VP of operations at
Twistbox. “FlirtGO is what users paying
with mobile billing have been waiting
for!“

TLA
Retailer teams with Adult Empire
to relaunch key sites
Adult retailer and entertainment site
TLA Entertainment has redesigned and
relaunched its websites TLAVideo.com,
TLAGay.com and Popporn.com.
The sites are powered by Adult
Empire’s AVN Award-winning internet
technology.
“Our goal with the re-launch of
TLA and Popporn is to construct an
easy-to-use platform that online users
can enjoy, with quick access from any
device, as well as the superior customer
service that users have come to expect
since we’ve partnered with Adult
Empire,” said TLA Chief Operating
Officer Brian Sokel.
Adult Empire Vice President Colin
Allerton added that TLAVideo.com,
TLAGay.com and Popporn.com are now
more intuitive, with a streamlined,
fully responsive design and navigation,
improved VOD, more screenshots,
movies, trailers and galleries, as well as
a larger array of in-stock sex toys.
Returning to the fold is TLA’s
Popporn Blog, which will feature
porn-related humor, news, pictures and
videos.
“We like to call it The Onion of
porn,” Sokel said. “It has an edgy,
satirical tone with great crossover
potential.”
Webmasters can promote the new
sites through the AdultEmpireCash
Affiliate Program. Visit

Adult Empire
Site moves to HTTPS browsing,
updates FTP system
Adult Empire has introduced
encrypted HTTPS browsing on all
of its primary websites, including
AdultEmpire.com, DVDEmpire.com,
AdultDVDEmpire.com and
AdultEmpireCash.com. The HTTPS
communications protocol ensures
a secure connection and facilitates
a safe, private shopping experience,
while conventional HTTP addresses
are more susceptible to malware and
cyberattacks.
“Over the years, we’ve developed a
strong reputation for protecting our
customers’ privacy,” said Adult Empire
Vice President Colin Allerton. “Moving
to the secure protocol on our family
of sites was a definite priority for us
in order to provide the high level of
service our users are accustomed to.”
Adult Empire also had made a
dynamic upgrade to its FTP system
with the help of Savi Transfer. The
changes were designed to make it easier
for content providers to supply video
and generate revenue through Adult
Empire’s VOD program.
“There is no real comparison
between Savi Transfer and FTP,” said
Bob Churchfield, senior systems
engineer at Adult Empire. “Since file
sizes are likely to increase as 4K HD
content becomes more common, speed
is a major asset for studios hoping to
beef up their amounts of ultra high-res
videos on our website.”

EthicalPorn.tv
New VOD space offers curated
‘ethical’ content
Ethical.porn has launched a curated VOD space
at EthicalPorn.tv. Ethical.porn is a platform
dedicated to complex, critical, ongoing discussion
of “ethical” as it pertains to adult content
production from within the industry itself.
EthicalPorn.tv includes titles from many of the
performers and producers who have contributed
statements to the main educational discussion site.
By creating a space for consumers to pay for their
porn, EthicalPorn.tv is a way to support performers
and producers alike.
“Neither Ethical.porn nor EthicalPorn.tv are
rating or ‘best practices’ spaces,” explained Angie
Rowntree, director and producer at Sssh.com. “The
sites work together to support ongoing discussion
of ethics in porn production and consumption—
something that transcends notions of ‘correct’
sexual expression or genre and emphasizes
multifaceted standpoints and consent—as well as
provide consumers with space to access a diverse
selection of content.”
The concept of ethical as it relates to adult
content production is complex, as is the ongoing
discussion on Ethical.porn. Consequently, the
listings included in EthicalPorn.tv should not be
considered comprehensive of all ethical adult
content. Further, inclusion in the store’s catalogue is
in no way a crucial aspect of creating ethical porn.
