Vixen: the glossiest studio in porn, priced like it.

What is Vixen?

Vixen is the flagship site of Vixen Media Group, a Los Angeles adult studio founded in 2014 by director Greg Lansky with partners Steve Matthyssen and Mike Miller. The group started with Blacked in 2014 and Tushy in 2015; Vixen itself launched in July 2016.

The group now runs nine brands, including Blacked, Tushy, Deeper, Slayed, Milfy and Wifey, the newest, launched in March 2025. Lansky sold his stake in January 2020, and the group’s parent company is Strike 3 Holdings. It has won a long run of industry awards, including XBIZ Studio of the Year in 2022.

How Vixen works

Vixen is a single-studio site: everything on it is the company’s own work, shot with a glossy, fashion-shoot look and built around featured stars it names “Vixen Angels.” You browse by scene, model or category and stream in your browser on a phone or computer.

What you won’t get is volume. One studio can’t match the scene count of a big network like Brazzers or Adult Time, and the group’s other brands sit on their own sites. If you only want the Vixen look, that’s fine; if you want variety, it gets expensive.

What’s free and what isn’t

Full scenes sit behind a paid membership that renews until you cancel. Some users report signing up for a cheap trial and then being charged the full recurring price, or being enrolled in a second site through a box they didn’t notice, so read the checkout page carefully.

Where you live matters too. Twenty-seven US states have passed age-verification laws for porn sites, and since 25 July 2025 UK law has required “highly effective” age checks, so you may have to prove your age before you can watch, or find access limited.

How it’s made, and the red flags

The group’s best-documented controversy is legal rather than on set. Strike 3 Holdings has filed more than 20,000 copyright lawsuits since 2017 against people accused of downloading its films over BitTorrent, most of them settled or dismissed, and a US judge once called it a “copyright troll.” In July 2025 it also sued Meta, alleging the company torrented thousands of its films to train AI.

Sister site Blacked has been criticised for leaning on racial stereotypes. In June 2020, after talks with Black performers and crew, the company told Rolling Stone it would drop terms like “interracial” from its marketing and cast more Black women. For you as a viewer, the practical lesson is simple: pay for it, don’t torrent it.
