Yes, I am an ass lover. I was amazed when Stagliano started producing Buttman movies. Then Bruce Seven with his Loose Ends movies was a ground breaker. Then Jules Jordan had the genius to make the Ass Worship and Flesh Hunter movies. Tom Byron came up huge with his various ass-centric movies like Comeback Pussy, Whack Attack, House of Ass, and others. But right now, it seems to me that nobody does ass better than Adriano. He gets those chicks with great asses, sometimes 2 or 3 at a time, and has a great time looking at, licking, tonguing, and fucking those butts. Never, it seems, more dicks than chicks. If not for the speculum stuff, which I don't get, his porn would be perfect. Anybody have a different point of view? I'd like to know if I'm missing something. Thanks.
I love ass and I love anal but this guy takes things too far. The speculum, the cameras, the gaping, the extreme closeup filming style, everything seems to focus not on the ass but the asshole it self, both inside and out. That just doesn't appeal to me at all. I find his stuff hard to watch and even harder to enjoy.
I love ass but I don't watch adriano stuff anymore because I like to actually SEE THE ASS not the inside of the ass, not closeups of the asshole, and definitely not closeups of his dick in the asshole. yea mike adriano shoots a lot of girls with great asses but they're not in any way exclusive to his movies and they can be seen in multiple other movies with focus on ass. For me I would take one of EA's big wet asses movies or one of JJ's ass movies over an adriano movie every day of the week.
There's a difference between an ass lover and an asshole lover. If you're into the actual hole and all that's inside it, Adriano is the director for you. If you're into the shape of the cheeks, and how they look in comparison with the rest of the girl's body, etc. then there are other directors that are probably more to your tastes. I think the thread title should be changed to "asshole lovers" instead of "ass lovers".
Hmmm. I would say he does focus more on the asshole than the asscheeks but I think he still does asscheeks better than most other ass-oriented directors. His "walking butt" thing is ass art of the highest magnitude. If you can watch his scene with Angell Summers on the treadmill without busting a load, I would seriously wonder if you're really an ass lover. The speculum thing people complain so much about usually doesn't last long at all from what I've seen. I can't believe they complain so much about something that lasts a couple of minutes out of an hour long scene. Mike does have a lot of ass licking, which I think is awesome because there aren't many directors who do it at all. Much less do it right. I guess I agree if all you care about is the cheeks, you could watch anyone who points a camera at a girl's ass for a few minutes and be just as happy. Personally, I don't understand those guys. I'm into the whole ass and the asshole is the heart of it. Being into the ass without the asshole is like being into the pelvic area but not the pussy. Edit - Sometimes I think Mike has the wrong definition of a "gape" however. It seems like he calls a prolapse a gape. The old anal guys from years ago did proper gapes (if you could actually see them). A prolapse is a prolapse. Edited by - randomprecision on 12/16/2012 2:14:40 PM
I hate how the "walking butt" thing has taken over, and I can't wait for it fall out of favor. For a guy like me, who is into legs and high heels, it's infuriating that the perfect chance to shoot good legs/heels/walking footage is universally squandered in favor of doing the walking butt closeup thing. It's so bad, that even if the girl is wearing a miniskirt, the cameraman automatically zooms in on the fabric-covered ass rather than show the legs. Apparently, a fabric-covered ass trumps a sexy pair of bare naked legs.

Yeah, I pretty much agree with that. Though I would add, I think his cameraman does a great job of showcasing a girl's ass during the tease. The problem is that the teases are usually too short. Once the action gets started, it's totally fixated on the girl's asshole. I don't like the closeups of him licking the girl's ass and the constant pulling out to gape it or watch it prolapse. And the speculum and internal camera stuff. Oof. I would recommend stuff shot by William H and Mason at Elegant Angel. If the girl they are shooting has a great butt, they will definitely highlight it. Same with Manuel Ferrara's Evil Angel stuff, particularly Phat Bottom Girls. I don't buy many of his movies for unrelated reasons, but Jules Jordan really captures this well too.
1. who here said they don't like anal? No one that I can see. 2. Yes, you can like the ass and not anal. I love anal, but I will concede that you can love ass cheeks and all the lovely flesh of the ass, and not want to stick your dick in the middle. My complaint wasn't against anal. I love it. My complaint wasn't even against lots of anal, or even an all-anal scene. I love all of that. My complaint with Adriano is that there are so many shots where you can see literally nothing other than the penis and the skin of the asshole around it. You can't even see the ass cheeks. Just the hole. It could be anyone's hole when the camera's zoomed in that close. I like to see who the hole belongs to, while she's getting it in the ass. I feel with Adriano, you're either seeing her nice butt cheeks during the tease or you're seeing the hole/the rim during the sex. You don't get both.
Yes I would definitely agree with you on this. Although even then, if the camera were zoomed out just a tiny bit more, so you could see her body from maybe just above the knee up to the middle of the back, or even just below the shoulder blades, I would like that better. But I can see hot non-porn girls walking showing off their ass. I see it every time I go to the mall with all those hotties wearing yoga pants. I want to see the butt cheeks during the sex. That's what Adriano doesn't give me.
And you are OK with that? At the mall, you cannot drop your trousers and start jerking to those hotties in yoga pants. In porn, we end up getting a lesser level of tease than we'd see just going to the mall IRL. Is that acceptable? Does that make sense? Not to me.
^ I'm not quite sure I understand whether you're agreeing or disagreeing with me. My point was that I'm not OK with Adriano because I don't get to see ass cheeks during sex. Is that your point as well?
For me, the speculum stuff is incidental. I can take it or leave it without it making nor breaking a scene. But I think your original assertion is spot on. Right now, there's no one better than Adriano. The girls really seem into him, like Rocco back in the day. And he pulls all the AAA+ girls.
Yeah I'm agreeing with you regarding Adriano, while also attempting to make a further, different point regarding ass(cheeks) focused porn. But I'll leave it alone because the further point is off topic.
yea his stuff is the best, no doubt about it, i cant find any thing else that comes close and i can see the butt cheeks and their shape and form just fine, i love the angles mike and his camera guy shoot the only real issue i have is the new inside the ass cam which i just fast forward, id also like to see more ass to pussy and more pussy fucking in general the thing i like most is the ass and pussy eating and the making out, he has great enthusiasm like hes doing exactly what id like to do and i know ill get ridiculed for saying this but his penis looks thicker at the head and a lot harder than everyone elses which i like to see in sex scenes lol Edited by - adogg on 12/16/2012 8:47:49 PM Edited by - adogg on 12/16/2012 8:52:18 PM
huh? who said they don't like anal? Quite the opposite. What I said I don't care for is seeing the inside of the ass and mike's dick constantly getting closeups instead of the actual ass moving. Seeing a closeup of a dick going in and out of a girl's asshole for 30 minutes does nothing for me. And the speculum stuff might only last for a few minutes, but that's plenty of time to be a complete turn off and why would I watch something that turns me off when there's plenty of porn out there that has nothing in it that's a turn off?

I agree with your last sentence. The rest is laughable.
Friends - I am the greatest big ass lover in here. I am constantly disappointed and frustrated by Adriano's scenes. The girls ARE beautiful and generally presented well, but there is too much POV, too much closeup, too much foreign objects, and WAY too much proctology for my taste. BSD
The problem with that is that he appears to be using wide angle lenses in most of his movies. I don't know if he's zooming in through the wide lens at all or not but if he is, that might explain why the wide angle effect doesn't annoy me nearly as much in his movies as it usually does. Many ass oriented directors shoot with lenses that make the girl's asses look super bulbous and unnatural. Even if he is zoomed in a bit and he could zoom out, it would increase the barrel distortion and make the girl's asses look completely unnatural like they do in many ass movies. The lens he uses seems to preserve a lot of the natural shape at least towards the center of the screen.
Someone wrote :"Seeing a closeup of a dick going in and out of a girl's asshole for 30 minutes does nothing for me" ^^^ i dont agree with this statement. when I watch his scenes i can see the girls faces and bodies as well as the penetration. Edited by - babaro on 12/17/2012 10:40:24 PM
Agreed. I think that some people tend to exaggerate when it comes to Mike's movies. Yes he does shoot a lot of closeups of the dick going into the asshole, but that is not the only thing that you see for the entire 5 to 6 hours that his films usually run. You have the tease intros, the blowjobs, and...like them or not, the speculum/plugs/mini cameras. As for the actual fucking, he always jumps back and forth between the extreme closeup of the asshole, shots where you see the entire ass, and shots with the girls' faces while he is within the pov shot. Then you have the "pov +" shots where you see most of the girl...usually from the knees up and or mid-thigh up. If people do not like his stuff, that is 110% ok...everybody has their own tastes. But telling people that his movies ONLY consist of that one single closeup shot of the dick going into the ass is not only misleading but just flat out wrong. "POV +" is also stamped on the front of all of his Evil Angel releases, so I don't understand why people who don't like pov are disappointed when the type of content is clearly stated on each release. It's like buying a volume of OYGB from Jules and then complaining that the only guys in the release are black. Big Wet Asses and Jules' Ass Worship are both great (as well as legendary) series, but comparing them to Mike's output is like comparing apples and oranges. Especially since both of those series are not pov releases. Anyway, as far as the type of content I like to see goes, Mike is the man...period. I've been watching porn since finding a copy of Candy Goes to Hollywood in my Dad's sock drawer back in 1985, and after seeing his stuff for the first time I thought to myself "Finally! A director who is on the same wavelength as me!"

Thanks for posting that. I agree with a lot of what you said, and I like this style of shooting for the most part. It used to be the case with his movies, or at least it seemed like it to me, that I could easily skip some of the stuff I didn't like, such as the closeups of his face and his tongue in the girl's asshole, the speculum stuff, etc, and still be left with a lot of the stuff I do like, such as the teases, oral footage, and sex footage (though I could do without the constant pulling out to show the girl's gaping butthole). What has started to sour me on his product lately are the bizarre and unnecessary things he's been doing. Like having sex fully clothed. Using sticks of butter as lube and having girls push it out onto each other's faces. Painting lipstick around the girl's butthole, or eating candy out of it. Or featuring a straight up proctology exam, (one his upcoming releases is dedicated to this). Telling the girls to come up with synonyms for their buttholes and to say weird things. In a recent scene with Holly Michaels he talked and acted like a baby while sucking milk out of her tits. My point is that this stuff, which I find weird and off-putting, seems like it's becoming more pervasive in his product, so there is less and less stuff in his scenes I find appealing. That said, I still look forward to his releases. He's prolific and hires pretty much all of the top girls in the business. Edited by - JB_X on 12/18/2012 11:18:11 PM
I quite like his movies. But I only watch them occasionally. They get quit intense. The best one is the one with Cassandra Cruz. The way she looks and talks while he put the speculum in her, is truly amazing. How a woman can be so humiliated, yet be so hot at the same time. (But the cum shot ruined it for me) His scene with Asa Akira and the black butt lugs is good also But his dick is too big for them to give him good blow jobs. But yes Jules Jordan Ass Lovers is a good series also
^ I think Mike Adriano needs to innovate to stay in the porn business. Mike's porn style has been popular partly because it was different and new. But porn fans are getting used to it now, and it's not so different and new anymore. My suggestion would be for Mike Adriano to add another horny guy in his scenes. The lady would mount the guy with her pussy cowgirl style. And Mike Adriano would then proceed to play with her asshole from behind, the way he usually does. This would make the anal play more challenging for the lady and more interesting for the viewer to watch. There are plenty of ass-play films already, where the guy plays with the lady's nice ass one-on-one. But there are almost no films that show the lady take one guy's cock inside her pussy cowgirl-style and have the other guy play with her asshole from behind. It's always a serious DP ride for the pretty lady, once she takes one horny guy inside her pussy cowgirl-style and has another guy come up from behind her. It's all anal-work and no ass-play, which makes Jack a dull boy during the DP. We need someone like Mike Adriano to surprise the asses of sexy lasses, when they pussy-mount another guy cowgirl-style. Mike has the patience and the skill to play with his nice lady's ass, instead of just sinking in his dick and going to town on the sexy chick. Anal play during a pussy ride will be something different and something new. And it will be more intense for the lady too, because her pussy-guy will probably play with her tits, while Mike Adriano plays with her ass.
^ Normally I also prefer one-on-one encounters, the way it's done in the Big Wet Asses series. But you need a really good stud to bang the pretty lady truly and fully in a one-on-one situation. Mike Adriano is good at playing with the asses of sexy lasses. But there is such a thing as too much of a good thing. His ladies don't get banged enough in my opinion. And this is where my idea of a pussy-guy for the lady comes in. The guy will bang the lady's pussy, while Mike Adriano plays with her ass. It will lead to a more balanced sex for her in terms of the banging and in terms of the play. It's not good to have too much banging and no play. And it's also not good to have too much play and not much banging. You need a balanced approach towards the lady. And since Mike Adriano is so unbalanced in favor of play, he needs another guy in the scene to balance him out in favor of banging the pretty lady. Edited by - Dan on 12/19/2012 12:40:41 PM
Things like the butter thing I'm not so keen on. A stick of butter just seems out of place in porn. I could also stand to lose the candy. Nothing sexy about it. Haven't seen him do the lipstick thing yet but I didn't like it when Max did it so...
In my personal opinion, Mike is way better than Jules Jordan. Either Jules is making the same old stuff everybody else is making or everybody else is making the same old stuff he's making. Either way, I don't see anything special about his stuff from what I've seen.
the moment that I learned that this guy makes the kinda movies he does, I was intrigued. I got Anal Overdose: lawdamighty! for a guy like me, whose numero uno fetish is two or more chicks playing with each other's asses, assholes and a cock, and talking nasty re: all of the above, it was right the fukk up my street. I will watch any scene he does with more than one gal. In particular, the one with Jenna Moretti, Tatiana Kush and a girl whose name escapes me at the moment is monumental. I think what is key, apart from the confluence of giving what ass/anal partisans what they want/presumably enacting his own fetish, is that he is oddly gentlemanly in the porn valley context. I have never heard him refer to the girls in a disrespectful way. Granted, some chicks like that, but I certainly don't. Previously on ADT, posters compared him to Max Hardcore, which while I refuse to watch his films, I didn't understand. Consequently, it seems to me that the gals seem to be having a good time with him. Often during the tease, they seem relaxed and talk in a more engaged manner than I am accustomed to seeing. And when they get down, boy do they get down. His films appear to be a whistle-stop for every porn gal of note for the past three years. I also think that his relatively straightforward if monomaniacally focused style is popular not only due to ass fans, but when porn has turned to the "This Ain't/XXXX" genre to attract couples, them what want raw nasty fucking know what they're getting. The prolapsing and journeying into the depths of the girl's rectalcavity is pretty fascinating, but not at all hot to me: its like she's, ahem, shitting her brains out. And I do think that he should perhaps consider using other cocksmen—although I too might be selfish were i in his shoes.
It is crazy. This porn style sucks ass to me. Any body can shoot this. Seriously. Most of the time Im not even sure if these chicks got legs. Amazing how people praise this as genius when it only obsession with close ups. The hottest Asian butts get fucked but I dont want to see just the butthole. How is limiting porn to only really close shots genius? Are you kidding me?
Mr. Adriano and fans. I am seriously sorry to have lost my temper yesterday. The dominance of POV or ultra violence in Asian porn has triggered something ugly in me. Obviously. In fact. I find 1/2 of Mike Adriano shooting style to be fantastic. I am only trying to point out that POV is just 1/2 the product. A well rounded product should have balance. POV + is a lack of that balance. Which leg lovers like me may agree.
^ I do love legs and find that they are rarely featured exclusively in porn the way I like it (I like them bare rather than covered in stockings or whatever). However, Mike is an ass director primarily. I do wish we had some leg directors but I wouldn't trade Mike's style for leg porn. Frankly, if you don't like Mike's stuff the way he seems to like to shoot it, just find something else. It's never a good idea to try to force a director to change his style. Even if you're successful there's a good chance he's not really going to understand what you want and why.
As expected, some like Mike's style and some don't. I admit sometimes I'd like to see him change camera angles. If he wasn't doing the fucking, you'd think he has fallen asleep. What you can't complain about is the quantity of product he puts out. You don't have to wait several months for his next release. He gives us plenty of content to critique.
He shoots a lot of different girls and delivers long scenes, but the content all looks the same. It's too tightly framed. There is never enough human expression visible, just body parts. The scenes, after the intro/rease, lack a whole dimension of humanity. Even the gnarliest blowbang has that, because the girl's face is usually in the frame a high percentage of the time. An asshole is just an asshole.
He's great. But I have to give it Bobbi Star, she's truly perverted :P And comes up with new things to put inside girls' assholes, like a curling iron in Kimberly Kanes ass, gape gang is a recent new movie she directed that is great.
I fail to see what is humiliating about it. I think it is kind of silly, myself, and if you've never been silly in bed, well... I would agree that the speculum stuff isn't particularly interesting to watch, though.
I had actually forgotten about Jay Sinn. I like them both a lot. It seems like Jay Sinn get the girls to do things that they've never done before, like John Leslie used to do back in the day... I'm glad to here Jay Sinn is coming back, if that's true.
Well hell, that one fact changes EVERYTHING :) I think the world of asses in porn has to be shared between the two of them. I can't decide who is better; they're both awesome.
