Anal Only review

I've been a Mike Adriano fan pretty much since he started in the business almost 20 years ago. He quickly went from performing in other people's scenes to starting his own studio. For those not familiar with Adriano, he's got a unique style of shooting, he's known for shooting mostly (but not exclusively) anal scenes, and his reputation in the business is such that he has a great mix of current superstars and new models coming into the business.

Several years ago, Adriano parted ways with Evil Angel and started a site of his own. This empire has now grown to five standalone sites. There is Nympho.com (vaginal sex), Swallowed.com (oral only), True Anal (anal scenes with one model, B/G), All Anal (anal scenes with two models, B/G/G), and his most recent site, Anal Only, which is the subject of this review.

When Adriano started Anal Only back in February 2021 the stated mission was to offer B/G anal scenes with models with big asses. Models like Candace Dare, Valentina Jewels and Bella Roland all have scenes here. Has the site's mission been successful? No, it hasn't, but that's not a bad thing, unless you are a really big fan of big asses, I suppose. Many of the models fall into the average or even petite class when it comes to ass size. It may have been that Adriano realized that he couldn't support a growing site with small group of active A-list stars known for having big bums so he brought in other models too.

So, with Anal Only having models with both big and petite asses, what differentiates this from Adriano's other B/G anal site, True Anal? Honestly, nothing. The two sites are largely interchangeable.

In most cases, having two stand-alone sites from the same producer/director that require two separate memberships would probably mean the death of one of the sites. In my opinion, that won't happen here. Adriano has a dedicated fan base and while there may be some grumbling, many will just join both sites anyway. Take me, for example. I count myself among the loyal Adriano fanbase and I regularly join all of his sites, including Anal Only and True Anal which are largely interchangeable. Why do I do this? Because the scenes are all amazing, that's why.

I should add that Adriano does try to differentiate the scenes a bit from True Anal buy using different decorations on his set. Does this matter? I don't think it does. I can't be alone in this as a porn fan generally or as an Adriano fan specifically, but when I'm watching an anal scene with one of my favourite models I really don't notice the pillows with “Anal Only” on them. Maybe that's just me though… Maybe others really, really prefer that aesthetic. (Yes, I'm only kidding!)

As I've noted in other Adriano site reviews, he has a formula and he sticks to it. The model poses, the model undresses, the male talent (Adriano or Logan Long) lick the model's ass, the model does oral on the male (usually a VERY sloppy blowjob with lots of drool), and then the anal sex begins. In many scenes, but not all, the model rims the guy too. Most scenes have ass-to-mouth and for fans of anal creampies, those aren't hard to find here too. Adriano is also known for using huge amounts of oil in his scenes, and all of the models are encouraged to bring their A-game when it comes to gaping. You'll see lots of that!

It's probably wise to mention that given the name of the site, Anal Only, vaginal sex is rare. If vaginal sex occurs, and in most scenes it doesn't, it's only brief and secondary to the anal sex.

So with the scenes following a formula, wouldn't that make them kind of boring? My take is that if you have a formula that works, why mess with it. This has been the Adriano formula for years and his scenes are still among the hottest in the business.

All of Adriano's scenes are in pure gonzo style with not even a thin attempt at a plot. The scenes are all about the model herself. The sex is a bit zany, rough and hard, but it never crosses the line into dominance or misogyny. It's fair to say that Adriano and Long worship the women they get to work with. It's also fair to say that all of the models genuinely seem to be having fun. I think a good indicator of this too is that many come back for multiple scenes and on other Adriano sites.

The scenes average about 55 minutes in length, with some being a bit shorter and some a bit longer.

Adriano's shooting style is also unique in that he has a cameraman, but the cameraman records in almost a POV style. In my opinion, this is the best of both styles. While you avoid the shaky POV shots when the male talent is also the cameraman, it also makes the main focus of the scene, the only focus really, the model herself. On some sites owned and run by a famous male porn actor they can make the mistake of thinking that they are the draw for subscribers. That may be true for a handful of people, but I'm sure I'm in the vast majority who join sites solely for the female models. I'm happy to report that whoever the male talent in the scenes at any Adriano site, they realize that the only real star is the woman.

Speaking of the women here, as I noted in passing above, Adriano is so well-known that any superstar who does anal will likely have a scene (and multiple scenes in many cases) on one or more of the Adriano sites. But apart from the superstars, Adriano's reputation is such that he often has scenes with new models just coming into the business. It's fair to say that Adriano has a knack for booking new models who will go on to be superstars. While there aren't many here at Anal Only, Adriano is also able to get many first-anal scenes with the models. When you realize how well endowed both Adriano and Long are, that's quite an accomplishment for both the site and the model herself.

This is probably more a factor of the industry itself, but most of the models here are Caucasian. Adriano is no stranger to shooting with Black, Asian or models of other races, but keep in mind that the Adriano style is to shoot top-tier models who are usually anal queens too. This a small talent pool relative to the entire crop of models working at any given time. Here at Anal Only, the only Black model, for now at least, is Avery Jane.

The scenes are available for both downloads and streaming. There are four quality options for the video downloads, 1920p Full HD is available in two different bitrates. Streaming is available in three resolutions. For those who prefer 4K files, you're out of luck here because there are none. If it's any consolation though, a 1920x1080 download with a high 12,000 kb/s bitrate is available, and many are recorded at 60 fps, making motion super smooth. They look great.
See the Videos section of this review for the more specific information on resolutions and bitrates.

The site itself is very easy to use. If you've seen one Adriano site, then this will be familiar to you. There is a search function and there are tags. There is no search page with all tags listed though. Given the relatively narrow focus of the site it's not a big issue.

Another commonality that Anal Only has with other Adriano sites is that they allow an extensive tour of the site before you sign up. A prospective member can see everything that's offered here and all scenes have good trailers too. When I see tour pages like this it makes me wonder why every site doesn't do it this way. Some sites make you take a gamble when you join. Not so Anal Only and the other Adriano sites. You can join with confidence after taking a full tour.

I found the downloads to be fast and stable. I use a download manager to both queue scenes and accelerate the downloads and I never have problems using it on any Adriano site, including this one. I have never encountered a download limit on an Adriano site and if there is one, I've never hit it and I probably would if one existed. If there is one, it's pretty high and only someone more dedicated than me would run into it.

The site had 65 scenes at the time of this review. A new scene is added every five days generally so the site will continue to grow quickly. (In the last two months there were only 4 updates each month, not sure if that's their new schedule or a temporary slowdown.)

There are no real photos, only screenshots from the videos. These are only available in 1920px Full HD resolution, viewable online and downloadable in ZIPs. The sets are huge with most having 1000 photos in them. Some are smaller but still have nearly 300 shots.

The site mainly bills through a lesser-known biller called Customercare.co (Payze), but in the dropdown you can also choose Epoch/Paypal from most countries. I've joined all of the Adriano sites many times using the Customercare.co biller though, and I have never had even a minor issue with them. Their website isn't as straightforward as CCBill or Epoch, but you can cancel fairly quickly when you want to. Though with so many new scenes being added each month you may also want to just stick around for longer.

Even though Anal Only really is the same as True Anal, I have no reservations in highly recommending it. Obviously to even consider a membership here you need to be a fan of anal scenes, but it you are, then you likely know Adriano's work and you'll be happy to expand your collection of his scenes. The models are all beautiful, the sex is hot, the scenes are well shot and edited and they're all available on a great site that's easy to use. Given the extensive tour pages available I recommend popping over there now and having a look. Just makes sure to have your credit card handy because once you see what's available, you'll want to join right away.
