To be honest I am still under shock by this Giorgio Grandi announcement about quitting his own porn production 8 days ago: viewtopic.php?f=96&t=88995#p1311421

Now if its really over, best is to share our best GIO memories
GIO scenes that really changed our way of porn use
Remarkable forum or DM discussions with Giorgio
GIO girls we had a chance to talk to
etc.

I do not wish to add any comments of relevance, as in my mind...it is still a big IF...I still really, genuinely hope there is some way that he can continue.

I will sure never forget my discussions with Giorgio to convince him to try booking Nataly Gold for a real DAPbreakin' in 2015. She had already had DAPattempts-ed by the Gonzo crew before, but always refused to let them carry on with it. It was a question to take the elephant into the room and makeing her a real proposition instead of trying to get her started for DAP on the side.
That scene turned out to be a groundbreaking one for than small GIO studio!

The other question I tried to influence was how she'd be styled for her 1st real DAP. I wanted her to wear stockings and heels and a mini-skirt for the start of that scene, for her top Giorgio had some even better plans than it turned out differently in the end, but we agreed on her style basically. That was a nice experience!

MU straight on set: Nataly in mini-skirt and stockings I suggested.


Funny thing almost 10 years later is I than didnt mind her DP warm-up at all!
Those were really different times! ;)

Here is a misangrega gif from that truely historic GIO scene:

Neeo was the very first stud to officially de-virginize Nataly in the porn way. And note that than it was a true balls deep DAP! :D

You are right, he wrote Most likely I’m going to quit, which doesnt mean he's actually doing it. Still, even in the positive and most desired eventuality a nice positive GIO tribute tread cannot harm I think.

For a producer to talk to you, you need to spend top dollars, just like hookers do. No money, no pussy.
GG not. He is interested in what the audience has to say and in their ideas.
Who can be compared to him? none.
The only producer who knows the power of this forum; the others shy away when you call their production garbage and become arrogant when you shove proof on their faces.

GG is coming back stronger than ever.
Porn is more than sex.

Well then, it's time to finish up my tickets and call it a day. It's been fun (sometimes). Despite my complaining and without snark, thanks to Giorgio and the other producers for this once great platform. The writing was on the wall for a while but with Giorgio now also calling it quits there is nothing worthwhile left here.

Sucks to see GIO the hero go, I never got that dildo named after me, it's OK, these are worst news, seeing GIO the man go, I hope he doesn't entirely leaves, that he can just delegate to other people the work, even if he doesn't shoot himself anymore, he is a man of ideas, and he can still produce great stuff without having to participate directly.

Wait, GG is leaving AVLP, but not giving up the porn ghost. He says so.
TBH I liked his older stuff when he was not the major producer he became more than his later GG stuff for avlp. I also have enjoyed his smaller studio output more than his major stuff. So, I wish GG well and look forward to his new output. It may reflect more of his style rather than the cookie cutter stuff he seemed to have fallen into over the years.

Thanks for watching
.....Dap-addict.....
..YuriyProneBone..
.....YumYum74.....

I do have close to 700 scenes from GIO, I feel there are people here that have way more. But nevertheless I am definitely a massive fan of his work. So I'm really hoping he continues in the industry even if is through delegation. I understand he no longer wants to do it directly, but maybe through others like minded individuals we can still see his input in the industry for years to come.

Is a real pity see how the best director here is stopping the shoots.

Honestly their porn and studio were the reason to started here supporting and watching their magnific works.

I've been a loyal fan and customer of him since years and there aren't better anal gangbangs in the market like the ones he shoots.. i enjoyed and still enjoying the great porn that does: Top girls, best crew of men and the best anal performance, honestly the quaility is almost impossible to reproduce.

A bussiness is not something easy to handle but the situation that is living their studio is not fair in terms of the great work that they did.

I wish him the best luck.

Thanks for everything Giorgio.

There have been times in the past at GIO he already managed studio mainly through delegation. A repeat formula might be the hope that dies last!


Btw, I own about 2500 GIO DAP scenes including his GIO Lab and Xfreax side studios. You can add about 250 single anal and about 50 DP only scenes. Not sure I am the most loyal fan, though, because last May to July or so I didnt buy from his studios at all.

WOW, we have lost two of the biggest EU studios in the last 2 years. This means the death of a genre and an alternative for those who can't cope with the dying US porn.

In an Italian porn forum you can see that for 2-3 years already he seemed much more interested to talk Italian politics than the porn he shoots. :confused: ;)

Giorgio is 48 1/2 years now.
Somewhere he said he would have quite before his 50thh birthday anyway. It's understandable actually because running such an adult entertainment firm so close with all the performers and having all the financial responsibility for so many employees also means a lot of stress. Since Kira Virburn scenes shot about 1,5y ago we also know that as director he lost nerves on set. It's all a demanding job and it got much more stressful the bigger his company grew.

Another bit is that for some time Giorgio was telling EU would ban porn productions in 2024/5 and he'd better prepare for that day. I dont see it happening in Brussels at all, but seems he believed in that rumor.

Luckily in technical terms Giorgio passed the knowledge of how to shoot his style on many years ago already by employing a support director. We'd have to wait what his plans and ambitions are.
Usually Giorgio just checked the styling of the girls without directing the scene himself anymore. If that person took over styling would gradually change but directing not. Numbers of scenes produced would go down almost certainly.

This is a very positive outlook on a sad porn weekend!

I was very hopeful that he was also just trolling us...but he went back on the forums, and confirmed that he had stopped planning for new shoots...if he is trolling us, it is quite possibly, the ultimate trolling!

Good riddance
Best service Giorgio can serve to porn industry
He always defended faking porn, slow paced fucking, tip fucking, non sex wet play, going as far as shooting lube usage and stuffs and shooting such nonsense as black pee matter or waka
His over-editing result in unwatchable scenes: cut off audio, censored swallowing where models spit the jizz, censored double BJ, censored blood/shit stains
and don't get me started on porn without vaginal sex
He'll make a great career shooting gay porn

That's a shame but he had a good run at it and all things come to an end etc.

I have lots of views on his stuff....the pros certainly outweigh the cons but it was a love/hate relationship a little, despite me spending a fortune on his scenes.

The pros....exceptionally hard anal porn with astonishing girls, generally shot very well despite some occasional infuriating sections.

The cons....the escalation of the male-dominant porn scene style, slapping/throat-grabbing etc., a bit of a "You've been brought into my lair" vibe towards the girls rather than a kind of rejoicing in their lust and trying to get maximum heat from them.

Somewhere in another world his production-line quality and shooting prowess marries with Christoph Clark's "Wow!" style appreciation of the girls and infatuation with female lust and creates truly volcanic porn that can't be beaten anywhere, ever.

I've personally not bought a scene on AV/LP for quite a while just because I'm maxed out on the style a bit and the moves into puke/double pussy/yet more male dominance have tipped things into the red pros vs cons wise. Tangential to that, I would say that given the same-y nature of Giorgio's work it obviously had a shelf life and 10+ years was a really good run at it. I always expected that I would reach saturation point with it if it didn't change its style/feel, which I guess is the hardest thing about staying in the porn game long-term.

This might sound a bit negative but like I say, hundreds of scenes bought speaks for itself and I am a hard task-master and easily turned off when the guys become even a little angry/overpowering, which I just have never really understood (I miss the old Private/Christoph Clark vibe where it was much more lustful). Within that whole post-2010 style - which he by no means invented - he was for sure one of the best so thanks for the work and good luck in the future Giorgio.

It’s going to take me a long time (years) to clear the backlog of scenes on my wishlist but still sad to hear that Gio is done and we won’t be getting anything new apart from a couple of scenes he’s already booked. With no Giorgio, no Gonzo, AGO releasing much less. I’m basically down to Yummy now, the odd Toby Dick scene and the odd Real Life Porno scene. What are all those girls like Anna de Ville, Kaitlyn Katsaros, Ria Sunn going to do?

At least the wishlist should now begin to come down rather than just getting bigger and bigger and eventually, I can cancel my ongoing membership.

I can understand your frustration. I also don't like this porn genre with rough and brute men who treat women like pieces of meat to be devoured. This type of scene is bad because it doesn't allow the girls to perform in a seductive and engaging way; it simply boils down to the men changing their positions every x minutes as if they were a machine producing something.

GIO was like this when his male team had been Czech - led by Angelo. It improved after the Italian cast joined.

There’s thousands of sites you can go to to watch more vanilla porn. Sites like this with pissing, slapping, double/triple anal, puking etc. are extremely rare. If you don’t like that stuff go to the countless other sites that don’t have it and leave this one site for those who enjoy it.

During a time when most American studios would, at their riskiest, do a DP - Giorgio introduced us to only the hottest girls (like, ever) shooting in the best physical environments, dressed perfectly, and carrying through scenes which were previously unimaginable to even the most perverted of viewers.

If there is a scene that is more emblematic of everything porn can be than GIO1343 (https://www.analvids.com/watch/63177/bl ... ow_gio1343) - then in a lifetime of watching porn - I haven't seen it.

In the entire history of porn production - when people look back at the time of peak porn - there will be no one who has realistically (not preference based) produced higher quality, artistically pure, insanely hot, amazingly shot porn than Giorgio Grandi.

Giorgio Grandi pretty much is the King of Porn.
