Giorgio Grandi review

Giorgio Grandi is one of the signature studios at Anal Vids (formerly Legal Porno) offering extreme hardcore scenes featuring some of the best and wildest European and American talent. The scenes lean heavily to rough anal play and anal sex, and usually feature watersports as well. There is a huge collection of over 6000 scenes, with 1-2 new scenes being added each day.

It’s a site with few competitors and worth looking at for those with an interest in this style of porn.

Before we dive in, I think it's important to note that the site allows you to hide the genres you don't like in your account settings. So for example if you don't like watersports, you can just hide them, and you won't have to look at it at all, and you'll be able to enjoy the rest of the updates in the members area.

Giorgio Grandi, like the company's other sites, is generally pay-per-scene. However, GiorgiGrandi also introduced a cheap $10 monthly subscription in May 2024. The monthly membership gives access to around 200 scenes right now, but new ones are added every week - this membership comes with unlimited streaming access and 20 monthly downloads. This is a great deal to jump start your collection, it's a lot cheaper than paying for these scenes individually.

The Network

This particular article is mainly about the content from Giorgio Grandi. It should be noted that the Giorgi Grandi site is part of the AnalVids network and the PornBox platform. Our reviews of those sites have a lot more information about the various options for buying tickets (credits) and unlocking individual scenes, and might be worth reading too.

For many active porn buyers/subscribers, GiorgioGrandi and its parent network AnalVids are both fascinating and intimidating. I had already been an active porn site subscriber for many years and was aware of Anal Vids (under its former name, Legal Porno) for years before I got up the courage to buy scenes from them. The concern I had, and the concern likely shared by many prospective buyers, is that Anal Vids, and all its studios, including Giorgio Grandi, don’t follow a typical subscription-based model like we are all used to. Anal Vids is unique in a lot of ways, and how a person buys and accesses scenes is one of those unique features. The new $10 light membership they introduced recently helps with these concerns, it's a great way to start exploring.

What kind of content will you find at Giorgio Grandi?

For readers who are aware of the network from its Legal Porno days, visions of a particular kind of porn likely pop into your mind – rough, energetic, mostly anal, groups, gangbangs, and watersports – among them. If those visions pop into your mind, that’s accurate. While the Anal Vids network is made up of hundreds of studios, it’s fair to say that for most of us, when we conjure up a vision of what’s offered here, we are thinking of scenes offered by two studios in particular – Gonzo and Giorgio Grandi. In recent years, there have been other studios added to the network that offer similar porn, NRX Studio for example, but Gonzo.com and Giorgio Grandi remain the foundation of the AnalVids network.

So what is that unique style of porn? If asked to sum it up in one word, I think I’d say “extreme”. From their first uploaded scenes in early 2015 Giorgio Grandi has cultivated a style of porn that is only available at the other big Anal Vids studios. The sex is always rough, usually involves multiple people, frequently involves multiple men on one woman. Nearly all feature anal sex and anal penetration with toys, large implements, and fists. The porn available here at Giorgio Grandi is not for the faint-of-heart, and it certainly isn’t couples-oriented porn you might want to watch while curled up with your partner to get in the mood.

Watersports was a relatively frequent addition to many of the older scenes, over the past couple of years, it appears in almost every scene. The team knows that not everyone likes watersports, so all of these scenes have two versions available - a “dry version” without peeing and a “wet version” that includes peeing. If where you live prohibits those types of scenes, you may not even see the “wet” versions being offered. The “wet” versions of scenes tend to be around one hour long, with some running up to 75-minutes. The edited “dry” versions of the scenes tend to be up to 10 minutes shorter. Overall, the average scene length is approximately one hour.

The addition of a “wet” and “dry” edition of each scene also affects the upload schedule. While there are one or two new unique scenes each day, that's 2 or 4 updates because two versions of each appear (unless you hide the watersports scenes in your profile).
As for the total number of scenes - if you remove these “wet/dry duplicates”, library size drops from over 6000 scenes to around 4000 scenes. Still a huge number for an extreme porn site.

Because of the kind of porn that Giorgio Grandi shoots, not many models have the physical ability or stamina to star in scenes here. Most of the models appearing here are European or Russian, though there are a few notable American models who make appearances here as well. Keep in mind that given the extreme nature of the scenes, the models who appear here have a reputation for shooting scenes like these. A downside to what Giorgio Grandi shoots is that the roster of models available is relatively narrow. If you find a model at Giorgio Grandi that you like, you’re likely to find dozens of scenes with her. On the flipside, if you have a relatively new model you like who leans more to softer scenes, the chances of seeing her here are probably zero.

Giorgio Grandi, as a studio, is highly professional. As zany and extreme as the sex is, the studio itself is cutting-edge when it comes to the technical parts of shooting – makeup, wardrobe, lighting, camera, sound, and editing are all top-tier. One thing a buyer will notice, however, is that there is very little variation in set design. Given that Giorgio Grandi produces only pure gonzo scenes – there is no plot, just people having wild sex – the set isn’t terribly important.

How do accounts, subscriptions, and scene purchases work at Giorgio Grandi?

Giorgio Grandi is served by the PornBox platform, and is part of the AnalVids network, so Giorgi Grandi uses the same system as those sites. In fact, you are free to browse the content from all 2,600+ studios from the wider network in the members area.

To get started at Giorgio Grandi, you'll need an account. While there are ways to create a free account through PornBox, the most economical option is to start with the cheap $10 monthly subscription. It's the best value to get access to a starting collection of around 200 scenes. If you want access to the rest of the scenes in the library, you'll have to buy them individually.

It's important to note that your account will never expire. Even if you cancel your monthly membership, you can still log in and access to scenes your bought, those are yours forever. And of course you can also cancel and re-activate your Giorgio Grandi studio subscription, or one of the other studio subscriptions available in the PornBox system, as many times as you want. While I don’t buy as many videos from the site as I used to, even today I can log into my account and have access to any of the 1000+ scenes I have purchased over the years. Unless I ask them to delete my account, that access will always be available.

Readers should be aware of a mistake that I’ve made a couple of times in buying scenes from Giorgio Grandi, and that is being careful not to buy both versions of the same scene. Remember that the “dry” version is just an edited version of the “wet” version. It hasn’t happened often, but it has happened where I’ve noticed scene with the model I like and bought the scene without first checking to see if I already had it. The platform is sophisticated enough that it identifies when you’ve already purchased a scene and won’t allow you to buy it again accidentally, but that doesn’t apply to the different versions of each scene.

What's the cheapest way to buy scenes at Giorgio Grandi?

After you've watched the scenes that come with the $10 subscription, the rest of the scenes can be unlocked by buying them individually. The good news is, there are no download limits for the purchased scenes, you can watch and download them as many times you want, and their remain accessible in your account forever. The obvious downside to a business model that requires a person to buy individual scenes is that it’s an expensive proposition. Luckily, there's an option to reduce costs a bit. The purchase options at Giorgio Grandi are:

• Buy the scene directly. If a scene interests you, there is an easy option to just buy it and it will be charged against the credit card or PayPal account associated with your account. This is the most expensive way to buy scenes at Giorgio Grandi, with the average scene price being approximately $15 USD.
• Buy a ticket package. When you browse the scenes, you’ll see that every one of them has a price listed in “TKT” as in “tickets”. You can buy these tickets and use them to to unlock scenes. Ticket packages ranging from 10 to 250 tickets are offered, with the per ticket price reducing as you buy a larger package. This option is cheaper than buying scenes directly, but of course you can spend a lot of money. A 10-ticket package costs $12.90 USD, while a 250-ticket package costs $219.90 USD. Obviously, an important bit of detail here is how many tickets, on average, does a scene at Giorgio Grandi cost? Older scenes, from 2015 through 2017, are bargains with many being available for just two tickets. By 2018 and 2019, the average scene price is up to around five tickets. Ticket prices creep up a bit after that, and hit 7-8 tickets per scene by early 2022, but Giorgio Grandi, like other Anal Vids studios, significantly increased the per-scene cost in mid-2022. For the latest scenes, the average cost is between 12 and 14 tickets.
• Buy a ticket subscription package. This is essentially the same as the option of buying a ticket package except the option I listed above is non-recurring while this option is recurring. You can buy subscription packages for one, two or, three months. The number of tickets you get ranges from 42 to 48 per month and gets reloaded on the schedule you’ve chosen. This is the cheapest option, costs for this model are a bit lower than buying a non-recurring ticket package, and you get a 20% discount on all extra ticket purchases while your ticket subscription is active. There are also some other perks, for example you get access to 1900+ older scenes in the platform across various studios.

You're not limited to Giorgio Grandi or the parent network AnalVids when unlocking scenes. The PornBox platform has an insane amount of content, over 250,000 scenes and over 2,600 studios, and you can pick scenes from any one of them.

I should note that some other studios at PornBox also offer subscription models, and some offer the ability to buy everything the studio has to offer (though it is expensive – for example, buying everything at the Gonzo Studio will set you back $8800 USD). Giorgio Grandi doesn't offer these options, only the $10 "light" subscription with the ~200 scenes, plus the 3 options listed above to buy scenes.

Something that a prospective buyer should note and take advantage of is that every scene at Giorgio Grandi, and every scene available at AnalVids, offers a free trailer. This allows you to get a better sense of what the scene offers and if it offers what you are looking for before you spend money or tickets to buy it.

Do Giorgio Grandi members get both streaming and download access?

• For the scenes included in $10 monthly Giorgio Grandi membership: unlimited streaming, 20 downloads per month.
• Scenes that you purchased or unlocked using tickets: unlimited streaming, unlimited downloads, and you'll have access to them forever.

Both streaming and downloads are available in multiple resolutions. Video quality is very high in general. Given that Giorgio Grandi has been around since 2015, there will be some variation from the list with the older scenes. For example, bitrates will be lower with the older scenes. Also, while 4K resolution isn’t available on the earliest scenes, it does become quickly available as you move forward into mid-2016. Anal Vids, including Giorgio Grandi, were early adopters of 4K technology and I appreciate its widespread availability throughout the network.

Because your account never expires (even if you have no active subscriptions), you can continue to stream the videos you’ve purchased. If you’ve lost your downloaded copy, you can re-download that as well.

Photos

Giorgi Grandi has pretty good hardcore photo sets associated with each update. Photo set size varies widely from just a few dozen photos to over 200. You can freely view the smaller resolution version of the photos and the screenshots online, even without buying the scene, it's a great way to preview the scene. If you want the high quality version of the photo set, you need to buy the scene and download the high quality photo set ZIP file.

Readers interested in downloading photos should be aware that I’ve only estimated the number of photo sets. The reason I’ve had to do this is because each version, “wet” and “dry” shows up in the scene count and these share a photo set.

Interface and Usability

The Giorgio Grandi studio page follows the same pattern as used in every other AnalVids and PornBox studio, and that’s a good thing. The pages are logical and easy to use on all devices, from desktop computers to mobile phones. The options for unlocking scenes might sound confusing by reading the review. In practice it's all quite simple and clear, you don't have to worry about it.
As for the search features, they have a robust system with many options. You can sort by model within the studio page itself, and there are extensive tags available to help find exactly what you're looking for. A great feature is that you can hide updates matching certain keywords, so if you don't like some of the extreme genres they offer, you don't have to look at them at all.

Is Giorgi Grandi safe?

I don’t usually spend much time talking about a site’s biller unless something about a specific biller needs to be mentioned. Here, Giorgio Grandi and every other AnalVids and PornBox studio uses a proprietary, in-house biller called GTFCharge. As a long time porn subscriber, I have occasionally run across billers that aren’t trustworthy. In my reviews, if I found that a biller needed to be called out for shady practices, I wouldn’t hesitate to do it. Here, I’m happy to report that in my 10+ years of buying videos from AnalVids and its predecessors, I have complete trust in GTF Charge as a biller. For my own sanity, I’m not going to try to estimate how much I’ve spent through GTF Charge over the years, but in all those years and all those funds, I’ve never had even a minor problem with them. My purchases are always accurate and any time I cancel a recurring charge, it’s always cancelled accurately. I point this out because I understand the concern that a prospective buyer may have in handing over credit card information to an unknown biller. The site also accepts PayPal, which is good news to those who don't like to use their credit cards for porn. My experience is that you can buy through GTF Charge with confidence.

Conclusion

Many readers will see the price and business model at Giorgio Grandi as being a negative, and I accept that. I also understand that value is determined differently by different buyers. For example, if a model I like and collect, shoots an extreme gangbang scene that’s available here for 13 tickets, and it’s a scene that I want to see, then it’s likely going to be worth that to me. Given the uniqueness of the scenes here at Giorgio Grandi, value is always going to be a personal calculation. I do think it is a valid criticism of the financial model that the prices of the scenes have increased so much over the past few years. I hope that the price has reached its peak and will stabilize. $15 USD for a scene is relatively expensive.

I think that a valid criticism of Giorgio Grandi, in terms of its style and the models it shoots, is that it has become repetitive. While I stated above that there isn’t a lot of variation possible in the scenes, it would be appreciated to see some attempt. As it stands, Giorgio Grandi has a roster of available models and each scene has one or several of these models engaged in rough anal sex, with watersports, with multiple men on set with white walls and a white couch. Most scenes even use the same positions, though that’s understandable as well. There really aren’t that many options available for double-anal penetration and airtight. This repetitiveness explains why I scored Giorgio Grandi lower on originality than on the other factors we consider.

Giorgio Grandi’s scenes aren’t for everyone. I understand that and I’m certain that if the creative powers behind the studio were to read this, they wouldn’t take that as a criticism. However, for people who enjoy watching rough, anal-themed porn with other niche activities like large anal insertions and watersports thrown in for added entertainment, Giorgio Grandi is a must-see studio.

The option to get a starter pack of around 200 scenes and regular updates, at only $10 per month is a great new feature. However, if you like the content, you'll probably want more and start unlocking individual scenes, which can be expensive. There are options available to bring the costs down a bit, and a prospective buyer can go into a purchase with their eyes open after having watched a trailer. That same prospective buyer can know that the transaction is backed up by a trustworthy biller. The scenes here are unique in what they offer – this is hardcore hardcore. If you’ve read through this review and have an interest in what I’ve described, or if you’ve found this review while searching the internet for information after being intrigued by what you’ve seen at Giorgio Grandi and Anal Vids, as an avid porn collector, Giorgio Grandi is easy for me to recommend. It’s definitely worth checking out.
