| Pros: |
- Around 185 scenes and about 125 models with updates every 5 days.
- The Mad Cheddar sites are pretty well known for shooting high quality glamour hardcore scenes. With all these sites (Vixen, Tushy, Blacked, Blacked Raw and more recently Tushy Raw) you get top notch performers in well lit, well shot and edited scenes that remind me of Playboy but with the Hustler hardcore, if that makes sense. Great content both as far as models and technical quality of the videos and photos.
- Fast downloads, no issues canceling subscriptions, frequent discounts, responsive site on mobile and good search function. From the technical perspective everything works well.
- Great photos that include some great magazine quality solo shots of the models.
- In my opinion more variation in models and scene type than Blacked or Tushy. While most models still have a very specific look there's more variation as far as hair, ethnicity and type of scene including some nice threesomes and orgy scenes. |
| Cons: |
- The ads are getting out of control. In the last few months when you first log into the page you get a big slash page advertising all the other sites they own. You click continue and get an auto playing video ad, then more ads on the main page itself. Luckily no ads when you actually select a scene, but it's kinda ridiculous, especially since I already pay for a few of their other sites.
- No real network access. Even if you buy the other sites there's no easy way to see all scenes a model shot for all their sites. A network hub would be nice, network pricing would be even nicer.
- While the site works, I wish there was an easier way to filter out certain models and I wish the categories were more obvious. You end up having to rely on the search bar a lot.
- While more varied than their other sites the scenes can get a bit same-y. I wish they used the set-up stories they have a bit more or maybe had the girls keep on their outfits a bit longer. |
| Bottom Line: |
If you like porn there's a good chance you already know what Vixen is all about, the high level of quality, gorgeous models and frequent discounts make it hard to miss the Mad Cheddar sites. They shoot truly great porn that has a very unique glamour feel to it. All the models are incredible, the videos are well shot and they never go into a very hardcore area (no spitting, gagging or really rough sex here) while still keeping the sex pretty intense and active. This site gets top marks from me and while I will point a few of it's flaws below, they are really minor nitpicks.
Most videos are around 40 minutes with about 3-5 minutes of setup. The stories are pretty basic stuff that's easy to ignore, but they are usually presented via a voice over from the girl while showing her in lingerie or undressing. I love this approach to their videos as it removes some of the inherent cheesiness of porn plots and gives you a chance to see the female model in a few different outfits. Unfortunately I don't think they really play around with this enough and almost all the videos have the girls completely nude very quickly, more than once getting naked in a cut-away. It's really a shame since they have the models dress up in some gorgeous lingerie that doesn't get highlighted that much.
Luckily, if any part of the video is not that interesting they have pretty handy markers on the streaming player letting you know when the action switches to another position. It's a great little feature that makes streaming the videos so much better.
If you do decide to download the videos they come in several sizes up to 4k and I've had no problems with download managers. The photos are also awesome and come in zipped archives that are easy to download. Unfortunately there are no behind the scenes videos of the shoots or interviews with the models. I think it would have been cool to see the shooting of the photos since they are clearly staged separate from the sex scene.
One section of the site that adds a bit more content (but is also a bit disappointing) is the Vixen Angels awards. This site is the only one that has a special section for "Angels", which is essentially the equivalent of a Playmate. There are a few photos of the "crowning" (essentially the girl receiving a bunch of Vixen branded stuff) and a photo shoot along with a under 1 minute BTS video of the photo shoot. That said you can't download any of this content and it's maybe 10 photos total. I was really hoping for a brief interview with the model, maybe a longer BTS video and an actual photo shoot that maybe highlighted something unique about the model. As it stands I looked at it once went "meh" and will probably never look at it again.
I gave Tushy a 95 as it's an almost perfect site to me. Vixen's content is not nearly as anal focused (only about 10 scenes) so it doesn't speak to my interests, but it's an absolutely great site all around even if it could polish a few rough edges a bit more. All in all I'd highly recommend it. |
