13 XMA Europe Nods Put Hentaied Universe in the Spotlight

Sarah Davis · 2026-08-09

The Hentaied Universe just made a serious statement at the 2026 XMA Europe Awards. Between Hentaied PRO, Hentaied, and the brand-new Hentaied Men, the collective pulled in 13 nominations—a clear sign that this niche corner of adult entertainment is no longer flying under the radar. If you've been following the adult industry for a while, you know XBIZ's annual awards are a big deal. The XMA Europe Awards specifically highlight the best of European production, and this year's nominee list is stacked with top-tier performers, studios, and creators. So to see one universe take home 13 nods? That's not just luck. That's a pattern. ### Head of the Legion Leads the Pack The feature "Head of the Legion" is the crown jewel of this year's nominations. It earned nods for Best Picture, Director of the Year – Individual Work (for Roberto Di Suna), Best Acting (Amirah Adara), and Best Sex Scene – Lesbian (Adara with Sata Jones). That's four major categories, and it's worth noting that Parasited's feature took home Best Acting last year—so the team knows how to win. Roberto Di Suna and Mark Zicha, both directors within the Hentaied Universe, also scored nominations for Director of the Year – Body of Work (Narrative). Di Suna won that exact category last year, so there's a real chance for a repeat. ### Hentaied Men Makes a Splash on Debut What's particularly exciting is the performance of Hentaied Men, the standalone gay-focused site that launched recently. It grabbed four nominations in the Best Sex Scene – Gay category for: - "Glitch" starring Leo Adonis and Minsito - "Mr. Horsecock Pt. 3" with Ruslan Angelo and Luciano Heart - "Taken as Hostage" (also Angelo and Heart) - "Game" featuring Gus Torres and Dimitri Venum Getting four nominations in a single category on your first try is rare. It tells you the content is resonating with viewers and voters alike. ### Hentaied PRO's Digital Dominance The umbrella site Hentaied PRO also snagged three digital media nominations: Paysite Company of the Year, Paysite of the Year (which they won in 2025), and Specialty Site of the Year. That's a strong vote of confidence from the industry, especially since they're competing against some heavy hitters. "We're thrilled with the sheer number of XMA Europe nominations, especially the four we received for our newest site, Hentaied Men, as well as the digital media nominations," said Romero, Mr. Alien, creator and producer. "We know Alec and everyone at XBIZ worked hard on the nominations, and we appreciate the recognition and how much time they spent watching our content." ### How to Vote and What's Next If you're an industry member, you can cast your vote on XBIZ.net through August 18th. Just search for Hentaied PRO, Hentaied, or Hentaied Men and hit the vote button. The team is pushing the hashtag #rockthevote to rally support. The awards ceremony itself will be held on Sunday, September 13th in Amsterdam, wrapping up the XBIZ Amsterdam conference and the inaugural X3 Amsterdam. It's shaping up to be an exciting night, and if the nominations are any clue, the Hentaied crew might be walking away with more than a few trophies. ### About the Hentaied Universe For those new to the scene, Hentaied PRO brings together all ten brands under one roof—Hentaied, Futanari, Parasited, Freeze, Voodooed, Vampired, Plants Vs. Cunts, Vored, and Cumflation. That's over 540 scenes covering everything from fantasy to fetish, with 12+ updates each month. It's a curated library that's built to satisfy just about any curiosity. Hentaied Men, meanwhile, takes the same dark, cinematic sci-fi horror vibe and tailors it for gay audiences. Think tentacle scenes, male futa, parasites, time freeze—all with a level of production value that's rare in this space.
