Andrew X needs new talent

Postby greenfunk727 » Mon Nov 17, 2025 4:49 pm

For me, Andrew X makes the best content, makes the best scenes and the most awesome sex acts. I’m happy that he has taken over Gio’s studio but after roughly a year since Gio hung up his spurs it has become obvious to me that the biggest issue facing Andrew X is the talent pool.

I have no issues with returning models making lots of scenes, especially if they’re pushing boundaries such as Alexxa vice. However you always need to bring in fresh new talent from time to time and in the last 12 months hardly any of the models that have been shot by Andrew have been new. Nearly all of them have been Gio’s old returning models.

I feel this is a real issue for this studio. Sales seem to be good which I’m pleased about but scouting for new talent must be prioritised for long-term profitability.

Thoughts?

There are at least 2 new talents who he has shot e.g. Indy Lix, and Stella Scandic...there might be one or two others...but you are right in terms of getting the next generation and a pool of new talents in.

I agree with you regarding those two models. Indy lix has shot a few scenes but in my opinion, they need to be more anal heavy. Hopefully she can shoot some more anal focused gangbangs.

Stella looks promising. In her one and only seen I thought she looked quite pretty./slutty but so far only a one on one which to be honest I don’t think counts as new talent yet haha!

But we are still way off the glory days of Giorgio in his prime.

Personally, none of these new talents have captured my interest, I believe instead that there are many models of certified quality who no longer hang around the GIO studios, this I think is the fundamental problem

Andrew shoots amazing scenes - but his actual talent pool will essentially remain the handful of actresses who have already shot porn with GIO - and nothing is going to change this.

The last of the absolute beauties who were willing to shoot traditional porn - only did so because they got into the industry just before OF took off. Baby Kxtten was camming, like, traditional camming, when she got picked up by the studios here. Anna De Ville as well could qualify for pulling in thousands daily on an OF page, although she may be a little older, but still.

Everyone that looks as hot as Baby Kxtten these days will sit in front of a camera and be like, "If we get to $2,000, I'll show you my first bra strap."

And the only reason Baby Kxtten can't do that is because there are so many videos of her on the net of her getting plugged by the entire soccer team at the same time.

So, it's not like somebody is yelling at Andrew, "Hey, Andrew! There's a whole bunch of super hot 18 year old white girls in the lobby of the building wanting to shoot porn, which are we going to choose?" To which Andrew replies, "None of them! I'm shooting Vittoria Devine today! Tell all those hot girls to go home! Permanently! Our studio is no place for them!"

Like, I think there are, like, actual odds on the table, a better chance for the Crusaders back in the day to bring home a genuine holy relic, than there is for Andrew to go out and find somebody that's white, young, and super hot who's willing to shoot porn at the studio.

That isn't his fault. That's the reality he's been handed. He's been doing an amazing job with what he's got - but - there are no magic wands that can bring back the young, white, super hot girls.

Sorry.

I think at the moment, we're in a situation where those who wish to go further than OF -"la página azul"... "the blue page", as Nuria has explained, can still do so, if they wish. With Andrew and Angelo, there remains that opportunity, for those who choose that.

So, as it has been more recently, we're talking about somewhat older women, who have some years of sexual experience, and can realistically choose to further their exhibitionist tendencies. The train of younger women being recruited to hardcore pornography for a fast buck looks to be over, in the West, at least.

But I'm undoubtedly in favour of this. It demonstrates that the female performers have more agency, that there is more to porn than just the fulfilment of male consumers' fantasies, and that there are also their own.

Pornography is, in and of itself, not "bad" nor "dirty", even if the term itself literally translates as "writing about whores". Undoubtedly, the industry has in the past been exploitative... but then which industry can ever claim it has not been, nor is now, not?

I prefer to take a sex-positive view of it all. Like, as a species, we're moving on. We've understood that we can prevent unwanted pregnancies. We've realised that monogamy is not everyone's bag. We've learned that homosexuality is not an illness. People can fuck for money, fuck for other people's entertainment, without stigma or shame. I think that's a better situation than that which existed before.
