Ben Rush, Co-Chief Content Officer and Chief Creative Marketing Officer for Falcon|NakedSword, is scheduled to host an event at the Stonewall National Museum, Archives & Library in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The event, titled "Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Gay Adult Films ... but Were Afraid to Ask! An Intimate Evening With Falcon|NakedSword’s Ben Rush," will take place on Wednesday, November 11, at 6 p.m.

Event Details and Purpose

The event is described as "a provocative and entertaining evening" where Rush will discuss the gay adult film industry. Topics are expected to include the creative process, personalities, challenges, and stories from behind the scenes. Attendees are encouraged to ask questions, with the event description stating that "No subject is off-limits, and no question is too wild to ask.”

Tickets for the 21-and-over event are $60 per person. Each ticket holder will receive a swag bag valued at more than $150, courtesy of Falcon|NakedSword, Fleshjack, Jo, and Skull & Bones NYC. The contents of the swag bag include a full-year membership to the Stonewall National Museum, Archives & Library, a DVD of Falcon|NakedSword’s film Eat the Rich, and a signed copy of the companion novella, Eat the Rich: First. Also included are a complimentary one-month subscription to NakedSword.com and a bottle of Jo lubricant. Attendees will also have a chance to win either a Fleshjack toy molded from a Falcon Studios star or an exclusive limited-edition Falcon|NakedSword jockstrap from Skull & Bones NYC.

The event is a fundraiser, with each ticket purchase directly benefiting the Stonewall National Museum, Archives & Library. Robert Kesten, president of the Stonewall National Museum, Archives & Library, noted the importance of this support "at a time when government funding has been withdrawn and support for LGBTQ+ cultural institutions is increasingly uncertain." Kesten also stated that the partnership with Falcon|NakedSword and Ben Rush demonstrates a shared commitment to protecting the First Amendment and ensuring that LGBTQ+ stories remain visible and accessible.

Rush commented on the event, stating that the reality of adult entertainment is "much funnier, stranger and more interesting than they imagine." He expressed anticipation for sharing stories, answering questions, and supporting the organization's work in preserving LGBTQ+ community history.

The Stonewall National Museum, Archives & Library is located at 1300 East Sunrise Boulevard, in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. For more information, individuals can call (954) 763-8565 or visit GiveButter.com for reservations.

FalconINK and Stonewall Museum Inductions

In August 2026, FalconINK, a publishing company launched by Falcon|NakedSword, had its debut novellas and the Ben Rush film collection inducted into the Stonewall National Museum, Archives & Library. This induction was announced by Falcon|NakedSword president and CEO Tim Valenti.

The inducted novellas include "Hard Ball" and "Wild Game: Open Season," both signed by authors Riley Parks and Ben Rush, respectively. These books are preserved at the Stonewall National Museum, Archives & Library. The Ben Rush film collection inducted includes a copy of the screenplay from Rush’s film Eat the Rich, autographed by the writer/director and his cast. This screenplay joined the institution's DVD collection of Rush’s films, which features Overdrive, Heart On, Spain in the Ass, and Wild Game. The induction also recognized the forthcoming fall release of Eat the Rich, which was written and directed by Rush.

Robert Kesten, president of the Stonewall National Museum, Archives & Library, stated that their library represents their extended community and that Falcon|NakedSword has historically addressed a segment of the overall community.

FalconINK's Launch and Vision

Falcon|NakedSword launched FalconINK, a new publishing house focused on erotic fiction, in July 2026. The San Francisco-based company's new venture includes three imprints: Falcon Books, NakedSword Books, and Raging Stallion Books. A launch party for FalconINK took place on August 29 at Book Soup in West Hollywood, California.

Ben Rush, Falcon|NakedSword’s Chief Creative Marketing Officer and Co-Chief Content Officer, heads the FalconINK imprint. Rush stated that Falcon Studios and NakedSword have spent over 55 years telling stories visually, and that literature offers a different medium for storytelling. He noted that books allow for exploration of a character's inner thoughts, building anticipation, and delving into romance and emotional intimacy, which can be more intimate than film. Rush also described books as "imaginative," where the reader acts as the director and casting director. He added that hearing actors like Derek Kage or Eddie Burke narrate audiobooks provides an additional dimension, combining their voices and personas with the reader's imagination.

FalconINK plans to feature erotic male-male romance stories in various formats, including original novellas. The imprint's initial titles, "Hardball" by Riley Parks and "Wild Game: Open Season" by Parks and Ben Rush, are available in print, e-book, and audiobook formats.
