Today, CASZIN is introducing an organization that has emerged from years of collegial collaboration and will strengthen independent media in the German-speaking adult entertainment industry: the Adult Press Association (APA).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On 10 August 2026, nine independent specialist media founded the Adult Press Association. The official launch will take place on the opening day of VENUS Berlin on 22 October 2026. The alliance creates a joint platform for editorial collaborations, industry-relevant special projects, cross-promotion and cross-media campaigns. The editorial and entrepreneurial independence of all member media remains fully intact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The APA is neither a joint editorial team nor a classic industry association. Each medium retains its profile, its journalistic orientation and its individual approach to target audiences. At the same time, the members receive reliable structures to pool topics, knowledge and reach for selected projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The nine founding media contribute different editorial focuses, target groups and many years of industry experience. Together they enable broad and differentiated coverage of developments, personalities, companies and trends in the adult entertainment industry:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At the launch of the APA, the following voices spoke:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\u201cIn today\u2019s times, collaborations are the key to success. Especially when it comes to respecting and passing on values in our industry.\u201d \u2013 Oliver Williams, CEO cuteanddangerousXXX<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
\n\u201cFrom a years-long, friendly-collegial coexistence, an interest representation for erotic magazines has now emerged, as it has not existed in this form before. That is exactly what makes the Adult Press Association special for me,\u201d says Tom Berger, publisher and editor-in-chief of German-Adult-News<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
\n\u201cIt is often said in the adult industry \u2018We are all one family\u2019 \u2013 and the cohesion is indeed a decisive success factor. The newly founded Adult Press Association with currently nine publications proves this and will benefit the acceptance and visibility of the entire Adult Biz.\u201d \u2013 Bernhard Bradatsch, editor-in-chief CASZIN and co-publisher CREATORMAGAZIN<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
\n\u201cOur common goal is visible, professional and credible specialist journalism for the adult entertainment industry,\u201d \u2013 Mario Meyer, editor-in-chief of the ERONITE Insider Magazine<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
The APA will officially begin its work on 22 October 2026 within the framework of VENUS Berlin. The erotic trade fair will take place from 22 to 25 October 2026 on the grounds of Messe Berlin and offers the alliance the ideal setting for exchange with media partners, companies, agencies, organisers and other industry players. At the fair\u2019s opening, the APA will present its goals and cooperation opportunities and hold initial talks about joint media projects. Further information on the trade fair presence and meeting appointments will be announced in good time at www.adultpress.org.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Joint Actions for the Benefit of All<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Planned activities include joint interviews and background discussions, market reports, special publications and cross-promotion. In addition, the APA creates a central point of contact for cross-media advertising and sponsorship offers. The focus is on journalistic integrity, transparent cooperation, mutual respect and a clear separation between editorial content and commercial partnerships. On this basis, the APA aims to strengthen the visibility of independent adult specialist media and open up new cooperation opportunities for its members.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The APA\u2019s priorities include joint editorial formats, industry-relevant special projects, cross-promotion as well as cross-media advertising and sponsorship offers. The alliance sees itself as a professional contact partner for companies, agencies, organisers, institutions and media partners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Responsible for this alliance are Tom Berger (GERMAN ADULT NEWS), Bernhard Bradatsch (CASZIN and CREATORMAGAZIN), Oliver Williams (CUTE & DANGEROUS XXX, HOT SLATE and others) as well as Mario Meyer (ERONITE).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Adult Press Association (APA) is an independent media alliance of established specialist publications from the adult entertainment industry. It promotes journalistic quality, media reach and economic strength through targeted collaboration. The editorial and entrepreneurial independence of the affiliated media remains fully intact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
