MaleBoxDVD acquires Delivermale

If you haven't already discovered them, the Internet is home to a handful of Netflix-style rental services for gay porn aficionados. And this week, two of them, MaleBoxDVD.com and Delivermale.com, merged to create a virtual mega store of man-on-man action.

MaleBoxDVD -- which allows members to rent X-rated DVDs quickly and discreetly for a monthly fee, without paying late charges or shipping costs -- announced in a press release Wednesday that it had acquired Delivermale, AVN Online reports, making it one of the largest websites of its kind.

"This purchase is a great thing for existing and new members, as well as all the affiliates,” Martha E. Flores, founder of MaleBoxDVD, said in the release. “It gives us an opportunity to immediately double our premium titles from such studios as Falcon, Titan and Channel 1 Releasing.”

MaleBoxDVD has a strict policy when it comes to promoting safer sex, and it says it will continue to embrace that policy with Delivermale under its belt.

"MaleBoxDVD.com’s unwavering stand in promoting safe sex will extend to Delivermale.com’s inventory," Flores said. "All current bareback titles will be deactivated and no longer available. We will continue to offer pre-condom classics."

In addition to promoting condom use in its inventory, MaleBoxDVD encourages safer sex through regular donations to HIV/AIDS organizations.

We expect services such as MaleBoxDVD to remain popular - at least until DVDs are completely replaced by online digital downloads.
