History
Founded in August 2003, Stunner Media was initially known for its straight Internet [...] brand It's Your [...]. Stunner Media now has over 2,000 videos in its library.
In January 2006 the company expanded its sales team and launched five new content feeds.

Partnerships
In October 2010 the company partnered with Burning Bush Media, the producer of Internet [...] and DVD brands Boy Crush and Bare Twinks to manage its affiliate program BoyCrushCash.
Stunner Media further expanded in 2011 by partnering again with Burning Bush Media to launch Phoenixxx.com and its affiliate program of the same name. Phoenixxx began as a gay Internet [...] company and expanded to DVD offerings in June 2013 with a The Real Housewives of Miami parody titled The Real House Husbands of Miami.
In August 2011, Stunner Media inked a management deal with the United Kingdom amateur gay [...] site BlakeMason.com. Adam Mason, the owner of Thor Media Ltd., chose Stunner Media to manage its website and affiliate program after the passage of ATVOD in the UK.

In December 2012 the company partnered with British gay [...] site Boynapped.com to manage its affiliate program under Stunner Media's Indie Bucks.

In May 2013 Stunner Media partnered with pornstar and house music DJ Dominic Pacifico to launch DominicPacifico.com as part of Indie Bucks.
In July 2013 Stunner Media partnered with Twisted [...] Media, owner of Boynapped.com, to launch BoysOnTheProwl.com. The gay [...] site is unique in that [...] addicts cruise the streets of Britain picking up needy, gullible and unsuspecting boys to have their way with them. The boys use handheld cameras to film their own view.
Acquisitions
In April 2010 Stunner Media acquired the free gay [...] site LustyPuppy.com.
In January 2012, Stunner Media made its largest acquisition to date in a "seven figure" deal to purchase the web assets of Neostrata Ltd.
