(HILLSBOROUGH, NC) -- Adam & Eve is pleased to announce that its exclusive contract star, Carmen Luvana, has renewed her contract with the company for an additional year.

The newly-inked contract calls on Luvana to appear in as many as 12 movies for Adam & Eve in 2004; Luvana will also have the opportunity to try her hand at directing. She will direct at least one movie for the company this year.

The star, who's won numerous industry awards, sees this as an opportunity to let her many talents shine.

"Adam & Eve's been great to me this year," she said. "I look forward to directing my first movie and seeing all the friendly faces at Adam & Eve again. The fans should be ready for my hottest year yet!"

Luvana's latest film, Sex Across America 9: Puerto Rico, features the island native turning up the tropical heat; it's set for release February 13, 2004.

Adam & Eve created the adult mail order industry in 1974 as the first mail order condom distributor at a time when cheap, effective contraception was unavailable in most areas. Since then, Adam & Eve has set the standard for adult retail with a range of products including adult videos and DVDs featuring Carmen Luvana, Jenna Jameson, Chloe and more; lingerie and sex toys. In 1996, Adam & Eve led the way into the digital millennium by becoming one of the first, and certainly the largest, adult retailers on the web when it launched AdamEve.com. Now, thanks to Phil Harvey's vision and the support of more than 350 employees and millions of satisfied customers, Adam & Eve stands for sexual freedom, intimacy and safety through its products, services and health information.
