Romero, Jia Lissa Talk Hentaied

LOS ANGELES — Hentaied founder and director Romero tells AVN he started the site in Budapest, Hungary in 2020 with a “really limited,” but passionate team.

“It was just me and my makeup artist Julia, also known as Tentacle Fucker,” Romero says. “Now we're talking about a team of 50 people working from all over the globe, and we opened a production in Prague and Los Angeles.

“The results of these two operations are still waiting to be released.

"In May, we're gonna release the highest budget porn of this last 10, maybe 20 years. And hey, our parties are getting bigger every quarter!”

For those uninitiated, Hentaied is “a mix of dark art, a lot of cum, mind breaks and tentacles fucking girls,” Romero explains.

“This is then developed in the highest quality possible, using the best gear there is on the market and a team of professionals to make it awesome,” he adds.

Without question one of the most edgy sites in adult entertainment, Hentaied received a 2022 AVN Award nomination for Best Niche Series or Channel.

Romero recalls how in 2018 he was putting together some ideas for a new porn site “that would have used all my skillset to create something unique, where I could make great videos and compose my own music.”

“I'm a big fan of over-the-top movies (Sam Raimi, the first Peter Jackson’s, Robert Rodriguez) and of Korean cinema (Park Chan-wook) and I wanted to put that spirit into a porn project,” Romero explains. “The first idea was actually to make Hentai's when the idea of doing it in real life struck my mind.

“Funny though, when it started everyone was kinda of laughing about it... Except Pornhub, they pushed the project a lot.

“When the project started I was renting my villa to most of the top European productions and I start noticing they were putting my shots in their scripts. So in pure Kid A (Radiohead) style I thought, well, try to copy this one.”

In short, Hentaied features outrageous variations of “tentacles doing stuff to hot chicks!” Romero says.

“Penetrations from ass to mouth and from mouth to ass, cumflation, oviposition, belly inflations, ear fucking, a lot of slime squirting, bukkakes, huge creampies, and hotties fully covered in cum!” he adds. “And monsters!”

One of the most high-profile stars performing on Hentaied is Jia Lissa, who maintains that “sex is not a competition” even though she keeps winning awards for it.

The dreamy Russian performer captured her second AVN Award in January, winning Best International Anal Sex Scene for her tussle with Christian Clay in her glittery star showcase, Jia, for Tushy/Vixen.

The performer, who started her career in 2017, won Best Foreign-Shot Group Sex Scene in 2020 for her performance with Jason Luv and Ella Hughes in “Double Dare” for Blacked Raw.

Jia Lissa at press time had 16 credits for Hentaied, including several for her signature series.

“Of course my favorite series on Hentaied is my very own Jiology Lab where all kinds of crazy experiments are performed,” Jia tells AVN. “From tentacle mutations to cloning myself, so my dear alien friends will never get bored while I leave my lab.

“Also I loved some of my first scenes with Liya Silver. It was something magical and even romantic looking in her eyes while a huge tentacle comes out of my mouth to penetrate her mouth. Must watch!”

Jia leads an impressive parade of A-list stars who have performed on the gnarly site that is not for the faint of heart.

“It’s not your typical porn set,” Jia admits. “I had to seriously level up my acting skills and open new emotions performing for Hentaied. The team is really passionate about their work and being on a set I feel the same. I have a lot of fun. And cum.”

In addition to Jia and Liya, some of the other models already on Hentaied include Purple Bitch, Valentina Nappi, Canela Skin, Rae Lil Black, Clea Gaultier, Sybil, Sonya Blaze, Agatha Vega, Lottie Magne, Yukki Amey and many others.

“I would never have expected to have some of these names excited to work with me when I started all of this! Kudos to the girls,” Romero says.

The level of editing and special effects employed on Hentaied require dozens of hours on the set and then dozens more in post-production.

“And we're pushing that bar higher and higher,” Romero says. “It took time to improve our actual tricks. Our most recent scenes take 35 hours to shoot, 15 hours of editing and four hours to make the music—in a team of eight people on set. It's a complex thing (to be porn).”

He says 2022 promises to be a breakout year for Hentaied, which has numerous scenes in the pipeline.

“There's many things on the table, the project is snowballing and is not gonna stop,” Romero says. “We're opening our fashion brand and our gin distribution, pushing our Los Angeles production and especially releasing the CGI products.

“Between the teams I've hired, there's The Irishman VFX one that's making some magic on the footage. When those shots are gonna be out, you are gonna hear them."
