is too much for me."

A white out is a weather condition resulting from dense fog or snow literally turning the air around you white, which means you can't see anything.

I haven't seen the movie in question, but I assume the reviewer means that, instead of the scene appearing as one continuous action sequence, it is chopped up with 'white outs' being used to transition between the pieces.

Now I see...
Antonio Adamo has his finger stuck on the button that says: "white-out".

It is probably the button that says "Fade to Color", with white as the color of choice.
Fade to black (or white as is the fad right now) is a classical cinematic interpunction device used BETWEEN scenes, to denote a displacement in time and or space. This classical stylistic figure has long lost that function in the much faster paced films, since, say, the 60s.
The fade to black (or white) came back in style as a purely figurative editing device (as opposed to montage) thanks to videoclips, where they are mostly used for the creation of 'interesting' visual effects. I guess that is what Adamo is striving for as well. If he succeeds, is open for debate, at least.
Furthermore, in most porn scenes fades to black (or white), or even just dissolves, serve a different, more practical function. They are used to mask the incompetence of the filmmakers to create a decent sense of continuity of action, which should work so well with simple hard cuts.
This last use has become so widespread in so-called couples porn, that filmmakers even anticipate the use of fades and dissolves by making completely unnecessary camera movements, usually lateral tracking shots or pans. Most of these camera movements start with a detail of the set, as if it was needed to use a "cut-away" in combination with either a fade or a dissolve.

White out is when the lights are too close to the model
and it turns her body white.

This was common back in the early days of amateur shooting
when the light on top of the camera was too bright.

It is kinda rare to run into this now adays.

Instead of skin tone color, you get white.
