Darren Roberts Authors The Unsexspected Story

WOODLAND HILLS, Calif. — Darren Roberts, the former CEO of AVN Media Network, has announced the first in a series of books on the adult entertainment industry.

In The Unsexpected Story, Roberts speaks candidly with key professionals that work in the porn industry, one of the world's largest trades. According to a press release announcing the book, The Unsexpected Story delivers insights into the minds of the industry executives, stars, marketers, and technology mavens who are responsible for the creation and management of some of the top brands in adult entertainment.

As unique as the products they make, their influence remains instrumental to the growth, profitability, and sustainability of one of the most controversial businesses in the modern world.

“The adult industry’s journey, development, and challenges have made it what it is and will carry it into the future,” Roberts said. “Regardless of the roadblocks it has faced or the controversy it inspires, there is little doubt the industry will work to maintain a platform that not only makes money, but also stays at the forefront of new media and technological advancements.”

The Unsexpected Story traces the economic and technological lifespan of the adult entertainment industry through the personal experiences of the individuals who have worked in it on a high level.
