AnalVids.com (aka Legal Porno) review

It's fair to say that the term “unique” is often overused these days, but I think calling the Czechia-based Legal Porno unique is perfectly accurate.
I've been buying and collecting porn for almost 40 years now and I have never come across another site quite like this.

UPDATE, February 2021: Legal Porno was renamed to AnalVids. Only the name was changed. Everything else remains the same.

Before I dive into the review there are a few things you should know:

• It's incorrect to think of LegalPorno as a single studio, because it isn't. It's more accurate to think of LP as a porn cooperative where independent studios and directors can post their scenes for sale. There are currently 84 different studios that have scenes available at LP though most of those are either no longer updating or rarely update. The two biggest studios, and the two studios that everyone associates LP with are Giorgio Grandi and Gonzo.com. They are still very active and very popular.
• While the heart of LP are the primary studios that shoot and upload scenes, it is important for any potential buyer to realize that LP also has licenced scenes available. Scenes from DDF Productions (now called PornWorld), Bang Bros, Private and others can be found peppered throughout the site. I'm not opposed to having non-exclusive scenes on any site. However given that a buyer is required to purchase individual scenes, he or she should realize that it might be a much better value to subscribe to the source site rather than buying those licenced scenes from LP.
• It's also incorrect to think of LP as a traditional subscription-based porn site where paying for a monthly, quarterly or annual membership gives you access to everything. That isn't the case here. While there are options to purchase something like a membership, the most common and popular way to access the scenes is either through paying for them individually using a credit card or by buying “tickets” that can then be used to buy individual scenes.
• If you log in to Legal Porno, you'll find yourself on Porn Box. That's normal, PornBox is the name of their members area backend. It powers the members area of LP, and and some other premium sites of the parent company GTFlix.
  

What is Legal Porno?

Legal Porno has been around since 2012 and quickly built a reputation for itself along active porn buyers. Even from the beginning, LP set itself apart from “mainstream” porn by offering a harder-edged product and by using a non-traditional purchase model. Since then LP has grown exponentially and is widely known within the industry.

The primary studios Giorgio Grandi and Gonzo.com have about 4400 scenes. Both of them add 1-2 new scenes every day. If you also include other studios which are more or less exclusive to Legal Porno, there are 10.900+ scenes. And if you even include the non-exclusive studios which also offer normal memberships outside LegalPorno (eg. PornWorld), the number is over 34.000.

So what is it about the LP scenes that makes them unique? Even when LP started their scenes were harder than found it most comparable sites. But as LP grew they began following customer demand for even harder scenes. These days the typical LP scene has one or two, or even more, female models taking on a larger number of men. Anal sex is the norm and even that anal sex is much harder than found at a lot of other sites. There are scenes with fisting and gaping assholes. LP is also known for DAP (double anal penetration) and even, occasionally, TAP (triple anal penetration). More and more LP scenes are incorporating water sports with the women getting absolutely soaked, gargling and even swallowing. All the sex, anal, oral and even the rare vaginal, is rough with well-endowed male models going balls-deep and absolutely hammering what ever orifice they happen to be in.

LP should not be seen as a couples-themed site unless your spouse is rather kinky. And if you are married to a woman who thinks that the porn at LP is normal then you don't need porn!

Most of the models who appear at LP are from Central / Eastern Europe or Russia. There are, however, several American models who make regular appearances here as well. The most prolific American model here is Anna De Ville, with 116 scenes.

There is some variety in the models who appear at LP but it's fair to say that a significant majority of them are Caucasian and somewhere between 20 and 25 years old. Asian models appear with some regularity though Black models tend to be less frequent. There are a good amount of interracial scenes though, with black guys fucking white girls.

A recent development at LP is the occasional scene with a transgender model.

When you enter LP you are immediately and automatically redirected to their new user interface called PornBox. Pornbox has been used for several years now and improved the customer interface. The main page shows all the available scenes, regardless of what LP studio they are from. There is a large thumbnail and below that the stars and upload date are listed.

Clicking on any of the available scenes opens a new page where a potential buyer can watch the trailer and get additional scene information. Clicking on the option to buy the scene opens the various options for doing so. Once you've bought the scene it stays yours forever. You can stream or download it in any of several available resolutions. The available resolutions (see sidebar) mean that the scene can be viewed on anything from a phone to a large screen TV.

How do I buy scenes from Legal Porno?

Legal Porno is different from most porn paysites. You have to buy / unlock each scene here, using tickets. To get started, you'll have to get a one month membership, which comes with some free tickets and some bonuses. Then you can get started, and use those tickets to unlock scenes.

After the initial subscription, you can cancel your recurring membership if you want. You won't lose anything, all scenes purchased and remaining tickets will remain yours forever.

After that, you have the choice to buy ticket packages without a recurring membership, buy scenes directly with your credit card, or re-enable a subscription to get a certain amount of tickets every month.

The simplest way to buy scenes is to simply do so individually using your credit card. But that would get very expensive very quickly. The most straightforward way to buy scenes is to buy “tickets” which can then be used to purchase scenes. The advantage to using tickets is that they are significantly less expensive than buying the scenes individually using your credit card. There are multiple ticket packages available and any of these ticket packages can be available as a one-time purchase or as a monthly recurring ticket purchase.

Presuming that you buy a ticket package, things then become very simple: each scene has a price, either in currency or in tickets. If a scene costs five tickets and you have 50 tickets in your account you can buy the scene and have 45 tickets remaining.

The problem that will become evident to any new purchaser is that with thousands of scenes available you will burn through your ticket package quite quickly. Maybe I should've mentioned this earlier, but I like to think of LP as the crack cocaine of porn sites. It can be very addictive!

So if Legal Porno is a pay-per-scene site, what's the point of the recurring TKT memberships?

Recurring subscriptions called "TKT memberships" aren't all-access memberships like on most paysites. They are simply a way to get new tickets every month automatically, with recurring payments charged every 30/60/90 days until you cancel.

These recurring TKT memberships have some perks:

• Tickets at a better price (vs. non-recurring ticket buys)
• 20% discount on buying extra tickets
• Access to the "Free" library, which has close to 2000 older scenes from the studios Sineplex Classic and No Rest For The Ass

Once again it's important to note that if you cancel the recurring TKT membership, you will only lose access to the "Free" library and the discounted buy option. You will never lose your remaining tickets, and you will never lose the scenes you unlocked using your tickets. Your remaining tickets & purchased scenes will be yours forever. You'll still be able to log in using your username / password just like before. You'll be able to access your tickets and scenes, buy more tickets for individual purchases, and even resubscribe in the future if you want to.

If you see yourself buying Legal Porno scenes regularly, it's worth subscribing one of the TKT memberships, to buy tickets at a discount.

How much do scenes cost?

It depends on how you buy tickets. If you buy them through a recurring ticket subscription and in bigger bundles, you can save up to 40% on ticket prices.

With that in mind, you can buy most new scenes from top studios at $2.50 - $8.00 per scene.
But you'll also find many scenes that are under $1.00 (under one dollar), and some big long orgy scenes can cost you over $10.00 (over 10 dollars).

Even more ways to pay

I'm not purposely trying to make this review more confusing than it needs to be but it bears mentioning that there are other ways to access the scenes at LP.

For example, you can buy every single scene of a studio or in a genre. Or buy all scenes of a model, even if those scenes are spread across different studios. These options can be very expensive if we're talking about a lot of scenes.

There are also some studios inside Legal Porno that offer regular Full Access monthly subscriptions, which work like normal paysite memberships. As you could expect, the flagship Legal Porno studios like Giorgio Grandi and Gonzo.com don't offer this option.

How are the scenes categorized and sorted?

Some good news is that LP has some of the most detailed scene sorting information that I've ever encountered. Every scene has multiple tags and the primary page offers up various categories that can then be subdivided into sub-categories. For example, at a site that is so anal-oriented as LP, finding a “gape” tag wouldn't be unusual. But LP goes the extra step and has sub-tags for different shaped gapes. (I'll be honest with you, even though I have bought in excess of 1000 LP scenes and I'm a huge fan of scenes I'm not sure I could even identify a “square” gape. I keep trying though!)

Another interesting way to sort the videos is by popularity. LP allows you to sort scene popularity by month, year or the entirety of their existence. For me, it was telling to look at the entirety of popular scenes because it gives a clear indication as to why LP has become so much harder over the past several years. It's obvious that the harder scenes, the scenes with more “circus acts” sell better. This makes sense though. Without those circus acts (double anal, triple anal, and huge toys for example) a buyer can find similar porn for a cheaper price elsewhere. But for a buyer who wants those circus acts, LP is the only game in town.

There are even some freebies thrown in too

The photo sets seem to be freely viewable to all registered users in low resolution. However if you want to access them in high-res, you need to buy the scene.

If you choose one of the recurring options for buying tickets, you'll get free access to their "Free" library, which has close to 2000 older scenes from the studios Sineplex Classic and No Rest For The Ass.

LP also has a very active member's forum where registered members can interact among themselves and with the studios.

Your account never expires – access your purchased videos whenever you want

An advantage to the business model that LP uses is that if your account is active you can still access any scenes that you have bought. In my case, I have purchased over 1000 scenes from LP over the years and even if I don't have tickets in my account, I can still go back and download them again or watch them online.

How is the quality?

The content is from various studios, but you can expect great video quality in general. The recent scenes are generally available in 4K UHD, and the older ones in 1080P Full HD. You can both download the videos and watch them online in those resolutions. There are several other resolution options too, you'll be able to find the right format for your device and internet connection.

The site has many scenes recorded in 60 fps (or 50 fps to be more accurate, the European equivalent of 60 fps). Those have super smooth motion. Unfortunately there are no search filters for 50 fps or 4K, so you have to find them yourself.

The site also offers photos. The content comes from many different studios so they vary in style and quality. But I can say that you'll find lots of amazing extreme hardcore photo sets between them, in great quality.
In my experience you can view all photos for free in low resolution. If you want the high resolution stuff, you have to unlock the scene, and use the photo ZIP download link that appears after unlocking.

What are the cons?

LP isn't without its warts. The biggest one, in my opinion, is that they have significantly raised the prices in the past 12 to 18 months. Up until approximately 18 months ago the average price of a scene was somewhere between four and six tickets. Large scenes like orgies might cost as much is 10 tickets. Now, it seems that the average scene goes for somewhere closer to eight tickets and it's not unusual to find scenes going for 12 tickets or more. Further, a lot of the most expensive scenes are non-exclusive. Buyer beware really applies here.

The fact that LP has some non-exclusive scenes isn't necessarily a negative but it can be given their business model. Let's say that you see a scene with the star you really like and you buy it for six tickets. But what if that is a non-exclusive DDF scene and for not much more money you could subscribe to PornWorld and have access to that scene plus every other one on that site? The good news is that the scenes from the flagship LP studios have a very identifiable look so it's relatively easy to spot the non-exclusive scenes.

A relatively minor negative is that I find download speeds can vary. The fastest speeds I see from LP tend to be about a quarter to a third of about what I see on other major studio sites. Another of our reviewers had a different experience and had great download speeds. So this will depend on your location and internet provider.

Watersports scenes at LegalPorno may not appear if you register from USA. (Except a small amount, but that's more likely a bug.) If you want access to watersports, using a VPN service can help you get around this (eg. the free VPN that the Opera browser provides). Activate your VPN, set it to another country, open an incognito/private window in your browser, click this link, and register a brand new LegalPorno account.
For those who have access to the watersports scenes, you should know that each scene has two versions. If you purchase a scene with watersports in it, you'll have the option to download the uncensored full scene, and an edited version with the watersports removed.

The bottom line

Personally, I'm a big fan of LP. The fact that I have bought over 1000 scenes from them over the years should be clear evidence of that. I really like many of the models who make regular appearances here like Gina Gerson, Alexis Crystal, Veronica Leal and others. An advantage is that when a model you like appears at LP she will likely do multiple scenes with them.

One annual LP tradition that I look forward to every year is their Christmas orgy. While they occasionally miss a year, they usually have a massive Christmas orgy scene with 10 or more models and 10 or more guys. Hey, you've got your Christmas traditions and I have mine! Here's a tip, if you buy any of the Christmas orgies make sure to download the BTS scene that accompanies it. Those are hot too.

The payment system of LP may sound complicated, but in reality the site is easy to use. You register and get a starter package with some tickets. Then you can use those tickets to buy any of the scenes on the site. If you want more, you buy more tickets.

Yes, it's expensive, but you'll be getting access to some of the most unique porn available today. If you are into what LP has to offer you're really not going to find it anywhere else in this quality or quantity. My recommendation for anyone who has had a passing thought about joining LP is to register and unlock some videos. You'll see that regardless of all the complexities that LP has built in, there is an easy way to access their videos. And their videos are unlike anything else you'll find.

If you like harder-edged scenes with beautiful women having rough sex then you owe it to yourself to check out Legal Porno—which is now called Anal Vids!
