How they compare

Both are known for porn that looks like film rather than gonzo, but they want different things from the camera.

Vixen, the flagship of Vixen Media Group, set the standard for glossy premium porn: beautiful locations, high-end cameras and top performers. ThePornDB lists more than 640 scenes, with a new one every five days, mostly 30 to 50 minutes. Its join pages sit behind a bot check, so we couldn't read prices.

Erika Lust is the Barcelona studio of the award-winning filmmaker: more than 200 of her own films, XConfessions' fan-inspired shorts and Lust Cinema's partner studios, directed by women and queer artists, with real bodies, safe sex as standard and performers treated as collaborators.
