Alua greets visitors with a login form guarding one of the plainest front doors you’ll find on an adult website. There are a few tiny and SFW photos of fashionable looking folks, but speaking as a horny guy, nothing about the presentation really calls to me. It’s the same approach OnlyFans took for years, and it clearly worked out for them, but I have to wonder how many potential users Alura is losing to the unenticing welcome. Signup is quick, free and easy, though, as I found out a few seconds later, and well worth the small effort. Just wait till you see who’s inside.

So what exactly is Alua.com? They tell you out front the site was built to help you “Connect privately with social media celebrities, influencers and models.” The general idea could probably be used to hawk wholesome content, in which case I wouldn’t be writing up the site here at ThePornDude, but I bet a lot of you already figured out the real gimmick from my OnlyFans reference above. Alua is an adult content platform where you can buy homebrew smut straight from the models themselves. Let’s see how these guys compare to the other social porn sites, shall we?

Easy Browsing of Beautiful Amateur Models

Alua, on the other hand, hits you first thing with a big, beautiful picture menu of women. Browsing is easy as hell, so you don’t have to feel around in the dark or get recommendations from some other site. It’s self-contained, the way a good porn site should be. Hell, who wants to look at any website that requires homework along the way?

I have to admit, I’m a little bit late to the Alua.com party. The domain has actually been around nearly twenty years now, though the whole social porn game is much newer. The site’s managed to attract a nice base of users in their current incarnation, with a few hundred thousand stopping by every month. A fair share of those numbers must be creators, because there’s a damn fine range of internet models, social media sluts and homemade pornstars moving content.

There are a handful of dudes and trans women slanging dick pics, but the vast majority of the roster consists of babes in all shapes, sizes and colors. Some of the featured gals as I type this up include ebony cuties, thick-bootied Latinas, redheaded girls next door and blonde MILFs. If you’re looking for something extra special, how about a masked dominatrix, a giant-busted BBW or a fishnetted fetish model?

Alua also has Tinder-style swiping, giving you another way of flicking through the stack if the picture menu ain’t doing it for you. The feature is well designed, with both an X and a heart to click on, though the separate icons for profile and unlock seemed redundant. My favorite thing about the feature is how it lets you see all of a model’s free profile shots without actually clicking through to her profile. I ended up following a lot more models this way.

Get a Load of All These Lovely Ladies

A better search function would be great, too. You can search by name or country, but you can’t type a kink, outfit, or filthy sex act and expect a full list of relevant results. I searched for BBW, Feet and Asian, and while I got hits for each, all of them had my chosen keyword right in their Alura screennames. There’s definitely good stuff getting lost in the shuffle.

Right now, you can only peruse by gender, with just a handful of filters for Featured, Online, Nearby, New and Following. Most of them are pretty standard for these kinds of sites, though this might be the first time I’ve seen a Nearby filter implemented. I’m super skeptical about using an OnlyFans clone as a way of actually meeting women, but it might come in handy for any models offering in-person sessions.

I started peeking through some of the profiles, clicking on fitness chicks, Asian nymphettes, tatted goth babes and a black girl with a huge ass. Models on Alua.com share a decent volume of freebies, though if I’m being honest, I wish there were a lot more. The free selfies and vids are usually limited to the profile shots at the top of the page, and they tend to be relatively clean.

I clicked the Follow button on a bunch of my favorite model profiles, hoping to unlock some more free wank fuel. Some of the DMs I got immediately after following included more explicit material than I’d seen outside, but pretty consistently, every model’s profile was still full of nothing but subscriber-only content.

There was just one exception, though. A blonde model named Lexi Sedivec has a nice little gallery of free bikini pics instead of the blurred-out, locked premium content of every other model I peeked at. It sure looks like Alua doesn’t let creators mix free and premium content in their feeds, which is a bummer. Free content leads to sales, which is why I’m so generous with the trailers over at PornDudeCasting!

Subscriptions, VOD, and Dirty Talk on Demand

Models set their own prices, and as you can image, they do vary quite a bit. I found a curvy MILF with 14 photos and 48 videos asking five bucks a month, while a black-haired petite chick wanted $40 for 80 photos and 137 vids. Depending on what you’re into and how much stimulation you need, it can cost a lot less or a lot more than your typical paysite. You are helping support the babes in a more direct way, though, which helps add to that sense of intimacy you get with these platforms.

On that note, you can DM your favorite models. Most models are charging by the message, even if they’re the ones who hit you up in the first place. I still haven’t gone through all of my messages and have about thirty left, and who knows how many I’ll pay to keep going. If you’re on a tight budget, I did find a fair number with a FREE CHAT banner on their front-page profile pics. Keep in mind, free ain’t necessarily free, especially in this business. All the “free” chats I had included naughty videos for a few bucks a pop.

One of Alua.com’s biggest strengths against the seemingly all-powerful OnlyFans is that the site is so much easier to browse for new models if you don’t already have a list of names on hand. Pull up the site and you’ll immediately be greeted by tons of beautiful women selling their homemade nudes, lewds and more. The platform is beautifully designed, and I’m hoping to see even easier browsability in the future. Check this one out if you’re looking for a naughty content subscription from the girl herself, a bit of chitchat, and a selection of fresh, beautiful faces.
