CARY, N.C. – ASN Lifestyle Magazine Awards has named SDC.com as the title sponsor for this year’s edition of the annual awards show, ASN Entertainment announced Thursday.

According to the announcement, SDC, which stands for “Seek, Discover, Connect,” founded their dating platform over twenty years ago as a response to people’s growing interest in alternative lifestyles. In 2018, SDC.com launched a media website to “help their members navigate the open lifestyle and provide resources for people curious about swinging, open relationships, and adult sexuality.” The site provides free educational videos, articles and podcasts from leading experts.

Tailored to the open lifestyle community, ASN Lifestyle Magazine is a monthly virtual publication that provides adult entertainment, advice on sex and relationships and interviews with experts, celebrities and other people of interest.

SDC and ASN first forged a partnership in 2019 with the goal of “boosting adult education around sexuality, relationships, and health, as well as broadening the awareness of the open lifestyle, swinging, and other alternative relationships,” ASN noted in its announcement. In 2020, ASN Lifestyle Magazine named SDC.com as their Official Erotic Dating App.

“Since the beginning of their collaboration, both brands have expanded their individual and collective networks on an international level,” ASN added in its statement.

“Our partnership with ASN continues to bring together the members of our global lifestyle community,” said Dave, the CEO of SDC. “As our reach grows, we can introduce more people who are curious about alternative relationships to the new possibilities they can explore and experience.”

“By collaborating with SDC for the Awards Show, we can boost awareness around the world about our open community,” said Michael Ramos, founder of ASN Entertainment. “Our awards show celebrates all sectors of the lifestyle and adult industry, from businesses to entertainers. We invite anyone with an open mind to join us and enjoy a fresh perspective.”

The 2022 ASN Awards Show is the second annual production by ASN Lifestyle Entertainment. In January 2020, ASN hosted the Erotica Awards in Las Vegas. The company says the success of that show gave them the roadmap to produce their first ASN Awards Show in 2021.

This year’s ASN Lifestyle Magazine Awards will be presented virtually on September 18, 2022. The broadcast will be streamed on the magazine’s website, as well as SDC.com and YouTube, among other platforms. Full details and updates about the show are available on the official ASN Awards website.
