Our verdict
Blacked was the site that finally made me stop feeling weird about admitting interracial was a category I actually cared about, because before this launched in 2014 it was mostly stuck in low-budget, badly-lit territory no matter how good the actual sex was. A French filmmaker named Greg Lansky started it as the first brand under what became Vixen Media Group, and the whole pitch was simple, shoot this stuff with the same cinematic care you’d expect from a real production, planned locations, proper camera work, actual editing instead of just pointing a camera and hoping.
It worked immediately, they were picking up AVN awards within the first year, and performers who’d never have considered this niche before started showing up in the credits because the sets actually looked good and the pay matched the production value. Lansky sold his stake back in January 2020 but the standards he set stuck, VMG kept the whole thing running the same way. Kendra Sunderland has some of her best work here, and Lena Paul too, both examples of exactly the kind of talent this brand pulled into the space.
Membership runs around thirty bucks a month, which is on the pricier side, but you’re paying for a level of polish that genuinely does not exist elsewhere in this specific niche, and if you’ve got Vixen and Tushy access through the same network that’s honestly a pretty stacked deal for one subscription.
