Chicago – Grooby, the leading producer of trans erotica, is offering free Grooby membership extensions to those affected by the government shutdown in the United States. The company currently owns and operates over 35 membership sites.

“Politics aside, why should working people have to be so affected by something they didn’t create?” says Grooby CEO Steven Grooby. “While adult entertainment is, and should be, lower on people’s priorities than some of their other bills, I don’t think it’s fair that these people have to go without what amounts to small comforts, for no fault of their own. These are people who support us by paying for their porn, so I hope we can support them a little during this time.”

Government workers with existing memberships who have been forced to cancel their Grooby memberships during the shutdown may qualify for a free extension. Those interested in taking advantage of this limited time offer are encouraged to email admin@grooby.com directly with the subject header: Grooby Extension Program.

“We’ve been so lucky to have some truly amazing hosts of the show,” said Steven Grooby.
“Jujubee and Madison really helped build our profile up and their professionalism and presence, I believe, have been a big part of the show. To keep things fresh, we’ve always wanted to rotate hosts. There was really only ever one choice and I was pretty confident it would be something that Domino would both enjoy and excel at doing. She knows so many of the girls personally – and having been in the industry now on both sides of the camera, she has a unique viewpoint.  Kristel and I are both looking forward to working with her up to the show.”
