Twistys and Sex Tube Sold to Manwin

Hi Everyone. Today we finalized a deal to sell all our adult assets to Manwin. They are assuming control immediately. I will be around for a few months helping with the transition.

I’ve been in this business for 15 years now. I’ve worked my ass off. Beth and I started this together with no money just our blood, sweat and tears. We would each work 15+ hour days and would work all nighters 5 to 6 times a week for several years. It was a lot of work but well worth it. I’m very proud of what we have accomplished and what we have built. It will be difficult to let it go.

Those of you that know me know I have worked my ass off. It’s been especially hard for me over the past 3 years. Beth and I have a 3 year old boy and any day that I don’t get to see him before bedtime just breaks my heart. I’m really looking forward to spending more time with him and his soon-to-be-born baby brother (< 2 weeks away).

As a company, the past 6 months have been our VERY best ever. GayTube, SexTube and Twistys are all kicking A**. Fabian recently approached me with the idea of selling (conveniently after a very enjoyable family vacation, I think Facebook updates helped initiate this deal LOL). Based on how well the sites have been soaring, the business b*s* we’ve endured behind the scenes as well as the upcoming family addition, we feel now is the right time to sell our company.

I don’t have any plans or know what my/our future holds. I may be on GFY more than ever or I may disappear the way Lensman did. I honestly don’t know.The one thing I do know is I’d like to thank each and every one of you. It’s been a very eventful 15 years in this business and I've loved every minute of it. Many of my best friends are from this industry - including my wife Beth.

I’ll do my best to stick around here for a while and hopefully be able to help a few of you out. Thanks again.ha And if you need anything, feel free to hit me up: Mrshap at twistys.

wonderful!

Loving the spin on all this.
Cant decide which is more entertaining... Fabians little pompous prick dance like hes always done or Shap trying to hold on to his cool kid street cred.

Hope it wasnt on the Deecash or Penthouse plan.

sad to hear this....Manwin is bad news in my opinion.

He will work a few more months teaching someone how his scripts work and such, make sure they have all the contacts, and he will be gone without a trace.

Interesting how his tune changed from high and mighty to Im retired.

Guess everyone will miss his updates of how cool he is.
