June 22, 2017 (Boston) — Sssh.com has been committed to bringing member fantasies to life for almost 20 years. In an effort to respond to ongoing requests, as well as celebrate sexual expression throughout our lives, Sssh has issued an open casting call for a couple aged 50+ to star in their newest erotic film.

“Aging doesn’t change the fact we’re sexual beings with strong desires, needs, and vivid fantasies,” explained Sssh’s award-winning director, producer, and founder, Angie Rowntree. “The idea of doing a story starring an older couple is something I find very alluring as a director. Ageism is a problem — not just in adult entertainment, but also in the broader context of film and society in general. With this movie, we hope to break down some walls, challenge erotic norms and stereotypes, and respond to one of our members’ biggest requests at the same time.”

The currently untitled project is based a short story by writer Natalia Cross. Characters Lillian and Charlie meet by chance in a crowded bookstore. Both are yearning for intimacy in what seems to be an impossibly disconnected world, and sparks fly when they realize their shared connection.

Launched in 1999, Sssh.com is the web’s premier “porn for women” site. Drawing on survey responses and other community feedback, Sssh creates cinematic-quality erotic content based on members’ fantasies and desires. Sssh’s sex-positive films and vignettes communicate true passion and mutual pleasure, always striving to be equal parts intelligent, sexy, and entertaining — with great success. Their movies and the site itself have been honored with numerous awards and nominations over the years, including most recently Adult Site of the Year — For Women (XBIZ 2017). Sssh was the first adult company to be a semi-finalist at a mainstream film festival (Gone, Swedish Film Festival, 2016) and was the first to produce a VR movie geared towards women using dynamic storytelling that can be viewed with or without a headset.

Adhering to the highest ethical standards, Sssh.com takes pride in treating its employees, performers, customers, business associates, and wider community with fairness, compassion, and respect. Sssh is a member of the Ethical Porn Partnership and was one of the first studios to receive the Adult Performer Advocacy Committee (APAC) Stamp of Approval in January 2017.
