About

The Twistys website was acquired by Mindgeek in 2011.[4] Prior to MindGeek's acquisition, Twistys, along with sister sites: GayTube, SexTube and TrannyTube, belonged to Carsed Marketing. The Twisty's website is distinctive due to its softer approach to pornography. Despite elements of hardcore content, much of Twistys' content feature softcore pornography as well. The majority of content is accessible with a monthly membership. Its popularity is heightened by the fact that the site is updated daily, adding new material to the database constantly.[5]

Statistics

As of January 2020, Twistys.com has a traffic ranking of 36,392.[6]

Operations

Twistys.com, along with a large number of other well-known pornographic websites, is maintained and managed by MindGeek. The website ranks as the fourth most popular of MindGeek's network of porn sites.[7] When Twistys was originally acquired, Mindgeek was then-known as Manwin.[8]
The name change came shortly after managing partner, Fabian Thylman, stepped down. Thylman had first acquired the company after purchasing the assets from the original founders of Mansef.[9] In 2013, he sold his stakes to Feras Antoon and David Tassillo, the senior management of the company.[10] The company then merged with RedTube, a large porn tube site, thus creating MindGeek.[11]

Sub-Networks

There are currently ten websites operating under Twistys which feature thematically different aspects in terms of storylines and sexual preferences. They also vary between hard and softcore in order to cater to different tastes. Some examples include the following:[12]

  • Whengirlsplay.com
  • Momknowsbest.com
  • Twistyshard.com
  • Nicolegraves.com
gollark: I fixed the setting, it still breaks with the same error.
gollark: Oh, `true`? Fascinating.
gollark: PotatOS wouldn't arbitrarily go around locking itself out of ROM in any case.
gollark: It is `false`, I think.
gollark: I was able to wring significant performance improvements out of potatOS by fixing one process which was yielding a lot.
