XBiz

XBIZ is the go-to trade publication for adult entertainment and sexual wellness business news. Since 1998, it’s been covering everything from regulatory changes affecting the industry to business moves by major adult content platforms and sex toy manufacturers. The publication reports on the business side of adult entertainment, including companies like OnlyFans (which XBIZ has covered extensively through platform changes, including when we documented explicit content creators planning their next move following OnlyFans’ ban). XBIZ also covers payment processing controversies, like when Mastercard changed its porn performer consent and verification rules, which had ripple effects across the entire adult industry. Beyond news coverage, XBIZ organizes major industry trade shows and awards ceremonies that bring together adult entertainment professionals, sex toy manufacturers, and sexual wellness brands. It’s basically the industry’s newspaper of record—if something’s happening in adult business, XBIZ is probably reporting on it.
