See my Bella Pass review for in-depth thoughts on the network as a whole.
Cons:
Points marked with * don't bother me personally:
- No ZIP files for photo galleries
- Video previews are a bit limited
- Regional pricing
- If you want hardcore, might be worth waiting a few months*
- Automatically generated username/password*
- Download limit of 20gb per 24 hour period*
- Bryci has fake boobs*
See my Bella Pass review for in-depth thoughts on the network as a whole.
A note on Bella Network's piracy policy: Bella Network has a very strict piracy policy. They are extremely clear with this when you join. Sometimes legitimate members MIGHT get blocked - Bella have have made improvements to their customer service so that this can easily be investigated and rectified.
Bottom Line:
I’ll cut to the chase and say this is one of the best amateur solo model websites I have ever joined.
It has all the benefits of a solo model website (personality, insight into the model etc) while being part of a slick, regularly updated network.
Membership includes access to the following bonus sites:
Katie Banks - very similar to Bryci, with content being softcore Talia Shepard - you’ll probably like Talia if you like Bryci - softcore Hunter Leigh - beautiful model, relatively new. Nudity but no toys Lexi Mason - extremely petite, relatively new to Bella Ava Dawn - site no longer updating but has over 50 videos Monroe Lee - super-curvy but site no longer updating
If you like Bryci, Talia Shepard and Katie Banks are from the same mould. Bryci’s site is currently the only one with hardcore content, but both Talia and Katie’s sites are comparable size-wise to Bryci’s.
You can browse content from the whole network, or just Bryci’s site using a drop down in the top right. You also have a very good search function where you can search by niche or by site.
Bryci has the usual sections for photos and video content, but in addition to this:
BIO: A hugely comprehensive biography. Features her essential statistics but also a very, very in-depth profile with information about her and her site.
CANDIDS: 71 candid galleries featuring Bryci. Some are her out and about or on holiday, many are self-shot pics featuring her in various states of undress.
BLOG: Regularly updated and from what I can tell, actually written by Bryci. Includes personal updates, previews of forthcoming galleries etc, and various candid photos.
BABECHAT: Video web chat featuring models from Bella Network. Bryci doesn’t seem to be on the schedule, but Talia Shepard and Katie Banks make frequent appearances. She might be just taking a few weeks off, though, as there are plenty of videos of her in the archive.
WALLS: Lots and lots of stylised wallpapers.
PHOTOS:
Currently 308 galleries, approximately 80 photos each. If you hover over the gallery thumbnails they animate to show a sample of images inside. You can sort galleries by most recent or by name.
All images are downloadable, feature a small, translucent watermark and can either be viewed at 1500px or 4000px. Zips are not available, and batch download programmes are prohibited, which is a big mark against the site as it’s hugely time-consuming to download images. You can’t right-click thumbnails and download link because the high-res images are placed onto a web page, so you’d download this, not the image. It makes the concept of even downloading a sample of images quite a bewildering prospect. The majority of the points deducted from giving the site a perfect score are because of this, and I’m not even a huge photo collector.
Currently there are no hardcore galleries. Most galleries feature Bryci enjoying her own company in the form of strip-tease and/or masturbation with or without toys. She’s extremely charismatic in front of the camera and oozes confidence. Most updates are shot in and around the house in the bedroom, bathroom etc, but any updates outside are well-lit and still very polished.
VIDEO:
Currently 341 videos including webchat archives and behind-the-scenes. The video pages again feature animating thumbnails, but the animation generally only shows the first part of the video. Webchat archives and BTS are mixed in with the standard videos which is a minor niggle. You can either stream a Flash video (skipping to any part as it loads) or download the video in a number of sizes/formats:
* As of March 2013, WMV is no longer being added, but it is still available on older updates
Videos are excellently shot. The majority are softcore with Bryci stripping and playing with toys or masturbating, recent videos feature hardcore. Currently there are six hardcore videos (since March) so although there’s not too much at the moment, it’s being added frequently so will build up quickly.
The first two were artistically shot (in the dark or behind shower curtain), and although and the next was poorly lit, the others are well shot. Most hardcore has so far been POV, but the most recent had a version shot POV, and one from a second camera. Bryci’s foray into hardcore is confident and assertive, and although already impressive, I’m sure technically the videos will improve in terms of lighting, angles etc as more and more content is added.
Most videos are in the region of 10-15 minutes long. Webcam videos are also mixed in with video updates and are around an hour long.
SUMMARY:
Bryci is wonderful, and her site does her justice. There’s a lot of bonus content on her site, and plenty of relevant bonus sites you’ll like if you like Bryci. The difficulty of saving images is a big mark against the site, while most other criticisms are minor at best.

Pros:
+Pornstar directory with headshots, separated by letter, and each letter is on 1 page
+Site search which even gives suggestions while you type
+Multiformat downloads each of which in full or split scene and which work with download managers (512/1000/2000kbps WMV, MPG, iPod MP4)
+EVERY scene comes with associated image galleries in high and low quality and with ZIP downloads. There are also preview images for the update which open in that flash-style image previewer
+EVERY scene (Feb 2008 and on) comes with flash streaming, and you don't have to click a link to get to it - it is right on the first page you click, in full resolution
+Every update it tagged with dates (all the way back to 2003) and performer.
+Every update's page shows you other updates with the performer, no having to click to the pornstar directory
+You can rate and comment on every update
+Like Brazzers and RK, all network content is hosted on NaughtyAmerica.com
+100% original content
Cons:
Be aware: I am really digging for cons.
-I would have preferred that the scene directory (which is the homepage) included the dates below each release. But I am not all that upset considering a) the scenes are organized by date, and b) every update are date-tagged on their respective pages
-The network sites still exist (e.g. SoCalCoeds.com), have separate content and some it was deleted. But this was not due to poor quality or age. They posted on a forum a long time ago saying that current NA management is different from before, so they lost the copyright to it...quite understandable.
-only ~2 updates per day
-Like VideosZ, you can see different time periods of their updates. Flash streaming is only available Feb 2008 and later, iPod video download at some earlier point, higher qual WMV at some earlier pt, etc. Would be nice if they could redo all their old content (see more on bottom line)
-The really old updates lack a lot
-Image verification with login
Bottom Line:
NA = naughty america
Braz = brazzers
Can I do it...can I do it...yes. A 100 rating. I give Naughty America a 100 rating.
So considering that Braz is the same type of site as NA and considering I gave Braz a 98 then there must be something better that NA does over Braz. The answer is yes, a few things:
1) no junky AEBN/AdultFriendFinder type ads plastered all over the MEMBERS PAGE, thus making for a cleaner MEMBERS page (keyword: MEMBERS. I can understand putting these ads on the tour page, not the MEMBERS page. I hope Brazzers people are reading)
2) better variety of girls, from A to D cup (and beyond). Braz has more focus on the "beyond" category...lol...too many big breasted girls with no variety at Brazzers
3) Less focus on big girls like Eva Angelina and Gianna Michaels
4) I seem to enjoy using the NA site over the Braz site
5) The NA site search, my god, is super awesome (more in a sec)
So yes, there are some very minor areas where NA is better than Braz.
The site search is super awesome as I mentioned. You can actually check it out on the Tour page. Its like the current Google search where you start typing and a menu shows up with suggestions. It makes searching on the NA site super easy.
Everything about the site is great. Yes, as I noted in the cons there are old updates (2003-2006) which lack the same treatment as newer ones (i.e. no flash streaming, lack of iPod format, lack of this, lack of that), but considering that for the most part all updates 2006 and later are in the same boat, and considering that Brazzers is sort of the same way with its old content, I'm not going to kill them for it. It is also worth noting that I've found a few updates on NA from 2006 and earlier which have the flash streaming, so it would appear to me that they are remastering content, but I can't actually PROVE this.
So NA is the same price ($25/mo), has the same update schedule (~2 updates/day), same kind of layout, does the same good job with tagging actress names and dates, etc. etc. etc.
The only difference is those five aforementioned improved areas (better site search, etc.).
So considering that I docked Brazzers mostly for those stupid AEBN/AdultFriendFinder ads, ads which don't exist on NA, and there are other areas on NA better than Brazzers, I have no other choice than to give NA a 100 rating.
That begs the question, is NA better than VideoBox/VideosZ type sites? Probably not, but in my head I grade them on different scales. I have several scales:
-DVD archive sites (VideoBox, etc.)
-Reality Networks (NA, Braz, etc.)
-Eurobabe Glamor sites (1BD, Karups, ATK, etc.)
-Individual girl sites (AriaGiovanni.com, etc.)
-Niche (Sinnistar, FTV, CDGirls, etc.)
There might be others, but the point is that on a Reality scale, I put NA at the top. On an overall scale? I prefer VideoBox.

Updated:
04-28-1103:10pm (Update History) Reason: The longer I am a member of this site the more I appreciate its qualities. Raising score by Two (2).
Pros:
A large selection of very beautiful models from Europe and North America.
Impressive photography, mostly solo or g/g. Available in approx. 930x1400 px, Normal Resolution and 2200x3500 px High Resolution, zipped. Slight changes in resolution from picture to picture. Enormously large sets giving you the choice of keeping only the very best.
Most recent videos are in HD format in 720p dvx and mp4 format, as well as the extra large videos at 1080p wmv. All are downloadable!
Streaming is also available for previews or watching the whole video on-line if you so desire. Streaming picture is HD and very clear as well. I experienced no buffering problems.
Speed of download was also very good for me at 3.5 MB/s. This was for a single file through Firefox's DTA. Normal downloads through the browser downloader were much slower but still around 600 KB/s but as a plus this way of doing things seemed to allow multiple downloads.
Nice bonus material (auditions, blogs, bts etc.)
Cons:
Huge picture sets will require a large amount of time to prune. I never thought I would consider a set containing approx. 300 pictures a con. Well, it isn't really - see above under pros, but some of you might be a bit more impatient when it comes to downloading or editing a 500 MB picture set so be warned.
I desperately want a search engine for this site. You practically have to go from update (arranged in chronological order) to update to find something that fits your taste.
Model directory is in alphabetical order but it would be nice if the pictures of the models contained the dates when her sets and videos were published. This would prevent the frustration of finding a beautiful model and then realize that her pictures are not High Resolution and her videos are split up into various parts .. something most of us aren't interested in nowadays unless we collect the complete works of a model.
Continued below:
Bottom Line:
It would be nice to be able to go to a point where publishing HD videos and HR pictures first started and work one's way up to the present from there.
Close attention is required when looking at the updates themselves, some are an invitation to rate sets, some are bonus material from other sites, some are masturbation videos or g/g videos, some are picture sets, but there are also videos of photoshoots .. something I dislike heartily, but others might enjoy.
Because I didn't pay attention originally I downloaded a hefty HD file (g/g content) expecting hot action and found myself listening to the distracting remarks of the director as he gave his instructions for the shoot. I don't like to have my illusions destroyed. But, as I said, some might like that sort of thing.
BOTTOM LINE:
This is a well-respected, well run site that offers top quality material. I did not see one single unattractive model, I'd even take the ones they had to reject during their auditions. Most would be between 18-25 in age.
The material is shot indoors, as well as in more exotic locations. Lovers of glamorous videos and picture sets will be well pleased.
There is also the added eroticism of a bit of kink. Fisting, insertion of large objects (mostly dildos), peeing, some public exposure scenes. Good stuff for most.
I also loved the fact that I did not come across one single pair of enhanced breasts. They MIGHT be there but I didn't come across them. This is so refreshing when compared to most sites!
I am adding my usual plaint, and yes, all of you who know me knew it would come:
I wish they featured some mature women, and I wish that their models would wear more than the bare necessities. Sometimes the girls don't even wear those, because I very seldom came across a bra or even a pair of panties during many of my spot checks of the picture sets and videos, but then I shouldn't go to a site like this one and expect it to be something it wasn't meant to be.
You can't expect to find cougars in a cubs' playpen.
After all this site is not meant for lovers of a leisurely strip by mature women but for those who revel in beautiful young, glistening bodies, and for them ALS SCAN does its job very well.

Pros:
+ GORGEOUS woman
+ 173 videos, + high video quality
+ mass pictures in high quality
+ live cam with rachel
+ live cam sites
+ network access to 9 other sites
+ easy navigation
+ perfect update system from all sites
+ no dl limit ,+ no drm, + good dl speed
+ exclusive content
+ hardcore (with and without bj)
+ softcore
+ dildo and machine play (e.g. sybian)
+ price is good for what you get
Cons:
- old videos (and i mean it by the word old!) have medium-low quality sometimes with music in them, but folks, show me a site in the net where the old videos have better quality! (and the music isn`t that bad at all :) Therfore it`s not really a con :)
Bottom Line:
Omg, what can i say.
Some facts from myself: that site is one of the few sites through the years which i visited more then once, and i think it`s the only site where i stayed more then one month. The whole stufff from that site and the network takes 80 gb at my computer (only brazzers took more space).
Rachel is my most adorable woman (milf) in the net.
If you like boobs, a fine body, blond woman and a gorgeous body, then you found youre site here.
You got stockings, high heels, shaved and not shaved, solo, pussy play, mastrubation, toy play, hardcore, creampie, roleplay and so on.
The scenes differ. There is not two time the same background and i never saw here in the same dress or clothes. the extra sites are also great, but if you want to dl videos, don`t visit the sites solo, download all of it with the video update folder.
As i joines that site years ago, there was only softcore. As i left i wrote them an email, and look what you get now..hardcore (did they add it because of my email? ;) )
And sorry to vanesso from tb, there is hardcore at that site (e.g. video 96, 137, 164). It would be nice if you can update youre review.
One last word to the people who voted me with not trust. I give high points also when there is no hdquality in the videos. The whole site together makes me give my points. And here it is, my first 99 !! (i am scared to give a hundred, who knew what will come :) ) i think she will get a 100 if she visits me (lol)
Was a member approx. 1 month prior to this review.
Pros:
unique approach
Cons:
Awful video quality! Some videos are 5 seconds long~! The max vid is 5 mins. The quality is awful and shot from a distance. No close ups. some of the pictuire sets are only about 10 pictures per set. Would be nice to see a set from start to finish not just 10 pics somewhere during the scene
Bottom Line:
Limited content, poor quality short videos. Way overpriced!!!!!

Updated:
09-29-0810:05pm (Update History) Reason: Considered Respected Members Input and Changed Score.
Pros:
Average Quality Picture Almost HD Photo.
Photos Zipped
Movie Downloads for IPOD / PSP only
Video quality ok.
Site contests
Blog & Journal
Mobile Ring tone
Good Navigation.
Cons:
Low Quality Video IPOD / PSP only 320x112
No Updates On Video 3 this year.
Photo sets 3 per month average
No HD as stated on site.
Live Cam is pre-recorded.
Suuport No Response.
Bottom Line:
Francine Dee. WOW is gorgeous and thats where this site ends being tolerant.
The front page says HI DEF video there is no, the video is so bad that even on my IPOD is sucks and was grainy at 320x112 huh?
Video updates are 3 times this year only, but why would I even download this at 320x112 video my Dog can't watch it very well.
The site looks nice and navigation a breeze. But again thats where things stop. Area after area is lacking content and bulk. I read the two reviews before me and it like I am in the twilight zone. I plunked $24.99 thinking well the site looks awesome. But what a let down.
I tried to be fair after wasting my cash the review is on it own merits.
I can not believe this site has been here for years, its more like a mobile phone IPOD site but doesn't say that anywhere.
Bottom line:
The photos are the only thing keeping this site from a rating of 50. The pics are good but just good not great and not Hi Def. Being zipped means I can get my stash quick and forget about this site.
OK the site design is nice and she is beautiful.
But there is no justification for $24.95 for this site, maybe 9.95 just for the pics.
That cash would be better spent elsewhere.
Cybertoad Take:
Avoid this site, and realize its not what it seems or says, there is no Hi Def video and it says there is big as day on the front page. Says Live Cam,and is pre-recorded run.
And the pit maneuver that ended me chasing down this site ended with a grainy video that looks bad even on an ipod screen.
Money could be spend elsewhere better many many sites and models. Catalina Cruz for example to name one is far better quality at the same price.
To make a point the site is just not where a 2008 porn site should be, updates are just wayyyyyy to far apart to even call this site active.
Join?
No.... site doesn't even update more then 10 times in one year. And misleading front page.
Current Member for less than 1 month (at the time of review).
Pros:
Some Exclusive content - some not (about 50/50)
Crisp/good quality videos at most times. (No bad old quality)
Some very sexy and some average hc-videos of easteurpean girl - some well known -some I have not seen before
Zip for photos (1600x1200 px)
Mostly hardcore
Cons:
Videos divided in 3, 6 or even 8 parts
No full download
Updates too slow: 3-5 days between - sometimes even longer for videos.
Old fashioned design.
A bit frustrating navigation.
Bottom Line:
This is clearly a russian site of some sort - based at the Islands of Seychelles where the russian mob seems to have a lot going.
But there's nothing island-exotic over this site.
The hc-scenes are typically filmed in some appartment in dark Russia - and the scenes are some girl looking for job and gets to strip and fuck some half-fat russian guy or his thinner stand in.
But most scenes are quite good, thanks to the performance of the girls: They give the (fat) dude what he wants.
Some of the scenes grow with good strip and foreplay by the girls.
There are some sexy-looking easteuropean girls, for sure - even some I have not seen at other easteuropean-orientated sites.
But around 50 procent are girls OR scenes seen elsewhere. The well known beige/yellow sofa with solo-girls.
For the first time I've seen two very good hardcore videos of the girl called Monique (at European Glamour Girls and more site where she sometimes has a different name)) - the brunette with the BIG natural tits. She's not wild in her performance, but just to watch her fuck/ride in what seem to be her hc-debut is great for this site - she even seems a little shy about har acting. Some other very sexy blonds are in good hc-videos.
I'd give this site higher points if it was'nt for the slow update and it little too much of non-exclusive stuff. And the hassle of joining 8 wmv-parts.
And the price is certainly NOT a bargain
Follow-Up:
Have to downgrade - the updates are much too rare.
NB: New improvement: The parted video-files are no longer 8, but 4.
Webmaster asked me to point out, that video-files are Divx-format - remember that, folks!

Updated:
08-21-1104:03pm (Update History) Reason: Split movies in g/g section plus .. see below!
Pros:
1384 beautiful, natural models.
Latest movies are available in Lo, Regular, High and HD. High is very good at 1024x576p while HD is at 1280x720p and also very nice and crisp.
Pictures are available in two sizes, 3888x2592px and 1470x980px, zipped. The sets are huge but for those who think less is more there are also “the best of” reduced sets available of the same models.
I love the fact that so many pictures and videos are heavily tagged, it really encourages one to browse and I've come across some incredible material via the tag method already.
Homepage layout is a joy, even giving one a preview of what's to come for the whole month ahead complete with samples.
Download Manager friendly, plus ample bandwidth given to the user. I downloaded 5 videos at a time and was still able to move freely around the site and even watch smooth streaming while downloading.
Download speed for me was over my max at 2.3 MB/s, either for one file or for the five combined.
Cons:
I am looking hard for one! Oh, yes, b/g content .. I hate it. Will be a plus for others so will not count against the site.. In any case there is not THAT much of it, so I'll find it easy to avoid it.
I'm also not particularly keen about the “rump” shots found in many of the picture sets. I would prefer to see more of the model than just a picture of hip down to top of upper thighs.
When considering the first 100 I ever gave a site please be kind and remember that TBP states that site "could do little to improve" and I agree with that wholeheartedly.
Bottom Line:
I know that a lot of us were discontent and disappointed a while ago because many movies took too long to get to the point, but I don't find this to be the case this time around.
All the videos I have looked at so far take me back to my first subscription, and to the awe and delight I felt in connection with this site. Except that this time around the videos are in one piece and in HD and the picture sets are awesome in their Ultra High Resolution size.
AW appear to keep improving with age and don't look (judging by the updates) as if they have any intention of slowing down in the foreseeable future.
The girls look and act so incredibly natural and appear to enjoy themselves so much that I am almost reluctant to describe this site as a porn site even though it was given an award by AVN.
It was my favorite site then and is in danger of quickly becoming so again.
What happened to my love of older women and fine lingerie, you may ask?
Well, this site is so enchanting that I don't find it hard at all to forgive them the lack of the above mentioned, and give AW the highest mark I've ever given anyone.
No glamour, no excessive make up, no porn star mannerisms here, just young women of all stripes and sizes who are highly erotic to me because of the fact that everything they do seems so unstaged and natural.
If the discount through TBP is still valid I would strongly recommend the “three pack” of Abby Winters to all of our users who prefer wholesome and natural.
August 21, 2011: Have reduced my score of 100 by five points because,
a) as I found out in the meantime, not all movies are in one part. In the girl-girl section they are still as a rule in four parts: "before, part 1, part 2, after." I would like for at least the main action to be in one part only. Before and after I can do without.
b) this past week's updates were exceptionally bad, in MY eyes I agree, but that's the only way I can judge a site.
Because of these two factors I have reduced my score slightly from 100 to 95.

Pros:
REAL and Unique Amateur Content.
Endless supply of incredibly hot members posting high quality videos of themselves, reaching several minutes long.
Fast streaming and download times.
Premium membership can be had for less than 4 dollars a month.
Cons:
This IS an amateur porn site, so it has no shortage of what may be considered unatractive people compared to mainstream porn.
Some videos are very short, and therefore, very annoying.
No video chat.
This is a voting site, so member's feelings get hurt when they recieve low scores.
Bottom Line:
Do you find yourself viewing mainstream "amateur" videos only to find yourself frustrated at the overly produced and directed feel of the scene? Have you ever wanted to show off some of your private snapshots or sexy home movies?
Get ready to bring the world into your bedroom and peek into everyone else's, as members of this site post pictures and videos of themselves for other members to view. High tech cameras are becoming cheaper for the consumer, and that means that longer, higher quality videos taken by regular people are the norm instead of the exception on a site like this.
Site material is grouped into categories for ease of viewing, and every niche you can imagine is here: Solo masturbation scenes, hetero/gay/bi sex, group sex, pissing videos, nude in public photos, hidden camera videos... whatever the average person can dream up to do with a camera for posting online is what you will find.
Vote on posted material and leave comments as well. Send private messages back and forth. Get to know other members in the forums and chat rooms. Always be notified of new material from your favorite posters using the "friends" feature.
I post pics and vids there of my wife and I in action and I absolutely love knowing that people all over the world watch us and jerk off to us. It has really helped my wife's self esteem as well, knowing that so many other people find her attractive.
Post some of your own content and see how many fans you get!

Bottom Line:
The last time I joined ALS Scan I joined specifically for the public nudity scenes. I did that because I really had no interest in anything else they had to offer. I did download some stuff other than the public nudity and when I finally got around to watching it I was amazed at how stunning the models were, how hot the scenes were, and how the site seemed to go out of its way to offer industry-leading resolutions on both video and pictures.
Objectively, the site is as good as it gets. It’s near perfect. It’s obvious that the site owner wants to deliver an excellent product to his customers.
The site offers both video and pictures, and unlike many other sites one doesn’t take a back seat to the other. Both are very well done. The site currently has over 1000 videos on the site, with more being added. One point about the updates is that they are new, as in recently shot, and they are old, in that the site offers older, re-mastered material.
The videos are all available in multiple formats. The formats and sizes vary depending on when the video was shot and uploaded, but it’s fair to say that if you’re downloading a video from 2007 it would have exceeded the specs of almost anything available elsewhere. For the past year or so all videos have been available in true HD. They’re available in DivX and mp4 format (1280x720) and in WMV9 at 1920x1080 (at 8000kbps). I only downloaded the WMV files, and they are amazingly crisp. This is some of the best video I’ve ever seen. HD streaming is also available. HD became pretty common in mid-2007 though not universal until later.
The videos come in several categories: solo photo shoot, solo masturbation and girl/girl. There are several public nudity shoots, but they haven’t added to these in a couple of years. Each year for the past several the crew has taken models to an on-location shoot in the Caribbean. The locations and the models combine with the technical expertise of the crew to create some fun, hot videos. There are also casting shoots in Budapest and the Czech Republic. These aren’t necessarily ‘hot’ but they are a lot of fun to watch. Mixed in to some of the scenes are some fisting (girl-on-girl and solo) and some peeing (but no golden showers).
I’m not a picture guy, but I’ll make an exception for this site. The pics are available as SD or HD and as singles or zipped. The HD size is large (I saw some at 2592x3888) and subjectively they are incredible! Zooming in causes no pixilation at all.
I used Free Download Manager and it worked perfectly. Download speeds were 1850+/- but that may be where my settings are since I don’t know how to change them. File sizes can be huge, so people with download caps need to be wary.
One thing I thought was a nice touch was that they created a separate portal for people who download to mobile devices. That makes finding the material easy.
Subjectively, this site is second to none. The models are stunning. There is a good mix of North American and European models. A-list porn stars are here too. The scenes all look incredible. The lighting, camera work, sound and editing are all near-perfect.
This isn’t cookie-cutter porn – although there are a few broad categories of scenes, the director and models do an excellent job of making each scene feel fresh. It looks like they’re having fun on the site. My guess is that they are.
Is there anything wrong with the site? Not really, but it could benefit from a search function. There is nothing now, and arguably that’s okay since the shoots can be sorted by model. By they should consider adding a search function for things like fisting, peeing and lesbian. But don’t get me wrong – the addition of a search function would only be like an extra layer of icing on a delicious cake. (And since they design and sell their own bikinis, maybe a search by style would be great too.)
Some caveats for anyone thinking of joining – these aren’t negatives, just things you need to be aware of: 1) there are no b/g scenes, 2) 99% of the models are petite, Caucasian and young.
To add more icing to the cake, when you join this site you can get a $9.95 subscription to ALS Angels. It’s a very similar site and I’m not really sure of the difference but it is a nice addition. If I find major differences I’ll post a comment or review if warranted.
The bottom line is that if you like this kind of material and these types of models, you likely won’t find a better site on the ‘net. Be prepared to spend some time here.

Pros:
-1530 silicone-free, hairy pussy models, 19300 photo sets, 4900 videos.
-Committed, engaged, involved, enthusiastic, confident, joyful models.
-10 softcore photo sets per model per photographer per shoot. 100% exclusive.
-Photosets in three resolutions: 1024, 1500-1600, 3000. (Not all on older sets).
-Updates: 8 photosets (80-250pics each) and 3 (ave 15min each) videos daily.
-Model's photosets uploaded just a week apart.
-Full and custom zips for all sets and sizes.
-Videos several formats, inc "HD mp4" (1280x720 @ 6Mbps ) and streaming.
-Good model directory and search facility.
-Opt-in for newsletter and promos.
-Set preferences for viewing sizes etc.
-Works well with Firefox and DownThemAll. Tested OK with FDM and Getright.
-Download links stay current for several hours.
-Webmaster responds very fast to emails.
Cons:
-Links time out after a few hours (Karups' last for membership duration).
-Some photographers produce technically flawed colour (but most are good).
-Videos at 1280x720 6mbps possibly not high enough for video-philes but I am no judge of video.
-Very old photosets (say older than 6 years) moved off to ATK Archives (separate site); I wish they would leave it all here as some of it was excellent, judging by content I downloaded 5 to 10 years ago and still retain.
-Lower proportion of attractive models than ATK Galleria (but some OMG hotties).
-Pages can be very slow to load, but zip download speeds are good.
-Some old videos may count multiparts towards the 4900. If 3000 complete videos would not be enough, do not join! And maybe only half of those are as high as 1280x720. Again, if you need more than 1500 of them, stay clear. Figures are indicative. I have not downloaded 4900 videos to check the sizes.
Bottom Line:
ATK Hairy (ATKH) is the largest and most complete site in the niche of women with natural breasts and hairy pussies. But there is little competition in this niche. We Are Hairy (WAH) is the only serious contender, though some other sites include some hairy models.
ATKH's women cover a large age range from 18 to 50s. Most are Caucasian girl-next-door types in the 18-35 range. They have hairy pussies and natural tits. There is no silicone here at all. ATKH does not claim that all, most or even any of its models have hairy legs, hairy armpits or any other body hair, though some have. The site does not appear to be much, if at all, influenced by the very vociferous group of members on the ATKH forums who demand hair everywhere. Bear in mind that modern girls in real life increasingly have tattoos or piercings. You see this in shops and offices everywhere. Do not expect ATKH to exclude them. Even MET has them. Sites do not beget their models nor control them.
Amongst the many tens of sites I have ever joined, including WAH, Nubiles, DDF, MET, Diesel and others, I have never found one where I like more than 10% of the models. ATKH is no exception; I leave 95% of their content behind.
I greatly enjoy the style of the photography at ATKH. Much of that is due to the content from one photographer, Sean R. He has 282 models on ATKH. You either love or hate his work. I absolutely love it. It has a raunchiness that no other photographer on any site, hairy or not, has ever achieved, in my opinion. His girls have the filthiest facial expressions imaginable and they clearly have huge fun on his shoots. His shoots are very repetitive within each set but many viewers do not realise that he is almost unique in varying his plane of focus. You may get 15 consecutive shots that look very similar but they will have different focus. And many have enough DOF to have all in focus. He uses a lot of makeup, which I like, and it is very tarty and slutty, as are the costumes his girls wear and I love all that. Sean R does not photograph with toys and many of his models do not do video. Some use a toy in video.
I also love the work of Riley Williams who has 87 models represented here. His style is classy, with much less makeup than Sean R but sharp, beautifully lit, perfectly colour balanced and capturing the whole personality of his models, who clearly enjoy working with him. BMB is another photographer producing quality results with 88 models here.
I cannot list all of ATKH's over 100 photographers, shooting models from US, UK, Europe, Russia, Ukraine and elsewhere. Most, if not all, produce work which is hotter, more raunchy, in a softcore photo niche, than anything I have seen elsewhere. Models here are involved, committed, engaged, passionate, joyful and have a lot of fun. The much smaller WAH tends to have a softer style, with a greater proportion of photo sets involving little or no makeup. But ATKH includes plenty of sets in that style too.
In ATKH's 10 softcore photo sets per model per photographer per shoot, there will be usually no more than two or three with toys. If there is any bg hardcore, it is in addition to the 10 softcore sets. But it is not really a hardcore site. There are 340 hardcore videos, 560 hardcore photosets and even less gg. This could be more than some dedicated hardcore sites though. As I am not interested in bg, gg or video, it is hard for me to evaluate the quality of that content.
A model's photo sets are added about a week apart but videos are less predictable and not all models do them.
Older sets might be only in 1024 and 1600 or only 1024. But I find the photos tend to have more detail and clarity than many of the 5000 pixel offerings from sites such as MET. The photosets here are in a completely different style. They are shot in normal rooms with normal furniture. There is some outdoor stuff but (mercifully!) not much. Photos are usually well lit. Most are properly colour balanced but there are a lot of exceptions and some photographers consistently produce poor colour that does not match the technical perfection which Riley Williams and Sean R deliver on each and every photo shoot. ATKH photos are not works of art and are not meant to be. They are overtly sexual and mainly highly pornographic within the context of softcore.
Most if not all sets start fully clothed and include extremely explicit open leg shots with pussy spreads and great detail.
I thoroughly recommend this site to lovers of natural girl-next-door women, with hairy pussies and no silicone, in good quality, very explicit softcore solo photo-sets in domestic, non-glam and mainly indoor locations. If your primary interest is video, take 5 points off my score. If it is hardcore, deduct a further 10 points. ATKH has a harder, edgier softcore style than WeAreHairy but I recommend joining both. I have been re-joining ATKH regularly for 10 years. "member < 1 month" applies just to current join.

Pros:
Since 1st January 2011 pictures in 200x3000 with stunning clarity (based on photographer) and available in 3 resolutions for viewing or download.
Video in MP4 quality, worth noting but personally I’m a stills man.
Models’ content appearing at short intervals (excellent for collectors).
ATK Lounge – this has improved greatly and the team are really listening to its members including a lot of interaction from the owner.
Huge archive and good search engine.
Cons:
Site has speed problems from time to time but this has improved.
Only a few of the contributors are producing crystal clear quality work with great angles.
No custom download options for users that require a range of images only.
No sets numbers at model level, can be hard to keep track/count.
Still more quantity than quality but where there is quality it is excellent.
Bottom Line:
I see that ATK N&H still seems to be getting bad press so I think I'll add my second review as I think things are definitely improving, certainly in 2011, and I speak as a long time member and currently on a subscription well over a year.
I still have issues with the site, however I think ATK N&H are really trying hard to improve things; the major improvement was the upgrade to the stills, from the 1st January, though it seems that you can’t please some people as users began complaining that they couldn’t see the image in their browsers, but there are now 3 image sizes for viewing/downloading – why wouldn’t you want 2000x3000!!!
As noted above only really a few photographers are contributing excellent quality clear eye-popping work, and this is personal of course but Sean Rs work is outstanding .
Long sets with some very interesting angles, and from January a raft of new models have appeared on the site shot in glorious clarity by him, the quality has ramped up substantially .
Of other note R Williams/BMB produce good work with the former trailing off from the early days when there was more of his content been posted.
Overall the site has improved a lot in 2011 and the addition of more interaction on the forum with highlights of upcoming models has really added to the anticipation.
Each to their own of course but I still feel ATK N&H is the best!
Given it 90 as I feel it's going in the right way, and the improvements this year have really helped.

Pros:
Great site. Lelu does a LOT of custom vids so there's always something new. Some things I wouldn't have throughout of, but I found myself getting off to them none the less.
But bottom line what sells this site is Lelu making a community. I'm sure she it going to become the sex star with the strongest most dedicated fans ever. I'm glad I'm discovering her so early. I can't wait to see what happens next!
Oh and there are multiple updates each WEEK. I've joined a few amateur site before (some are reviewed here) none of them ever had the number of update that Lelu provides.
Stop reading and go join. Then come back and than me.
Everyone should check out this site!
Cons:
Video formats are available in mp4 so you can put it on iOS devices, but much of the content cannot be accessed directly from iOS
Lelu says an update will fix this in a few weeks.
UPADTE 7/20/12: THE MOBIL SITE IS NOW UP AND RUNNING
THAT'S the only con I have. Really this site is that good!
UPDATE 7/20/12: as noted in reply section: this is a "mom & pop" site so you pretty much only see Lelu. To me that's made clear in preview section and goes with being an amateur site - so no big deal (that's what I like). But you should know that going in.
Bottom Line:
Really thought about the 100 rating and decided to go for it. This site is the best I've ever seen. Lelu is interactive with her fans like NO ONE else. Email replies come back in less than 24 hours. 1st time I've felt like the experience lives up to the hype. I'm really blown away by how awesome things are. I joined with an idealism deal and have already decided to resign up for 3 months.
Was a member approx. 2 months prior to this review.
Pros:
1) Hair is paramount. If'un you like hair on broads, then here you won't be disappointed.
2) Site boast of having millions of pictures. Well, bully for them. I'd have to say that might be a bit of a stretch.
3) Claims to be 12 times the size of any other hairy site. Does it also mean 12 times the cost?
4) zip files for downloads. Small watermarks on pics, larger on videos. No DRM.
5) Promotion touts of having 1577 models.
Well, I guess if they say so .....
6) 5,549 videos. Could be, but the 30 days I was there they musta been in hiding.
7) Updates appear to roll in as promoted.
8) HD on more recent shoots.
9) Some very pretty gals are in the lineup, European, Asian, Latina and American; predictably, a lotta plain-Jane's are there, too. Then there are those who're are just plain ugly.
10) You have solo, soft core, toy, boy/girl hardcore, and lesbian.
.
Cons:
1) Sometimes I'd corralled a beauty only to suddenly see her wander off somewhere.
2) Poor selection of medias, having WMV pitted against two other unknowns.
3) Streaming went smoothly, however, Buffering was unceasingly long and tedious.
4) From my viewpoint, I thought the video-shoots and directing sorely lacked the quality subscribers deserved.
5)Same-'olé-same-'olé .....what with too many and long closeups, and particularly ones that dwell on the genitalia. I can only assume The guy shooting just falls asleep at his camera. The man must belong to a damed good union.
6) Small watermarks on pics, bigger ones but none obtrusive on videos
7) Maybe it's my lack of electronic wizardry, but I simply couldn't find the combination to opening pics on a full screen.
Bottom Line:
Prepare to stare at a lot of hair.
Hair here, hair there, hair everywhere.
Nary model dare to be hair-bare, and that's fair
(jus' thought I'd throw that in)
I went for this $21 deal because I strongly favor seeing natural hair where it's supposed to be on women. It's sexier, more erotic, and adds that important element of realism to the scenes.
This site does a very good job of giving us that, but sadly, eroticism falls woefully short. For one thing, the girls move around too much. No sooner than I get into a clip than the model jumps up and leaps onto something else. Another erotic spoiler is the over-use of smiles ....I know readers don't share or agree to that, but when a gal is in the throes of sexual release, smiles ought to be minimal.! They're necessary I know, but porn isn't Comedy Central and I just don't find them compatible with serious porn.
Cameramen and directors here tend to follow the same old trend that shooting genital closeups are gold. When, for crying out loud, will these numb-nuts wise up and give us a break, already?..... Thanks to vaginal over-exposure I think I now know more about the female pussies than my x-wife's gynecologist.
In my judgment, I'd recommend this site for all who wants to see hair. Otherwise, it's just plain-old generic porn.
Admittedly, I got a bang-for-my-buck for what I paid, but I don't think I'd opt for thirty.

Pros:
+large photos (2858x1900)
+most photosets have good lighting
+zips
+videos in 2 sizes (large is 1280x720, wmv)
+no DRM
+screen caps for videos are at 1200px
+seamless login -- just go to the site and you're in
Cons:
-Photos are rather amateurishly done. Too much cropping out of top of head, arms, butt cheek, etc. Some are blurry. The occasional funny faces and awkward body angles detract from what could have been a more arousing experience.
-Only one size of photos
-Only 44 photo galleries to date since the launch date of Aug. 20, 2007. (Updates are SLOW.)
-No new photosets since Jan 9, 2008 -- to end of subscription in early Feb.
-Only 9 videos to date
-Pitches to "friends" sites are in the left column and in a section all their own. They aren't much of a nuisance to me. They might bother some people. For others, they could wind up being a financial "black hole."
Bottom Line:
Helen, as she's called here, is a very naturally sexy girl! She's been making the rounds in the softcore universe, appearing at a constellation of sites such as FemJoy, JustTeenSite, MetArt, MetModels, Nubiles, Pretty4Ever, and her own planet's co-orbiting GlamDeluxe. (Fortunately, have not seen any duplications of material between the two.)
One video is of an "interview" with her in a moving car with two jovial, unseen guys. They all speak good English (slight Russian accents), but there's a lot of cutting as Helen, while friendly, doesn't give way to questions about her private sex life. In part of it, they turn on loud music (distracting).
Another is of her on a couch, stripping and showing her stuff. Music is the audio track. Sexy, with some full "mooning," but it has the "nebulous" feeling of something done with little forethought.
Same with the photos. There are better ones at most of the other sites mentioned. Though I wasn't terribly disappointed, a pretty, sexy girl, a good camera, and good lighting aren't enough to make great photosets. The understanding of having poses a certain way, composed in the frame a certain way, for the essential purpose of building the turn on in the subscriber needs more consideration here.
Overall, it's an OK site for guys like me who "have it" for sweet, lovely Helen, but it isn't good enough for the price they ask. We'd need better quality and more frequent updates for that.

Pros:
- 39 Sites on the network
- Some interesting niches
- Streaming available
- Downloads in at least two formats and three sizes
- Pics and screencaps available
- Most sites update regularly
Cons:
- Several sites update irregularly
- Daily download limit (10GB +/- per day)
- Download limit appears to be applied unevenly to members
- ‘Cookie-cutter’ porn
- Download manager (Free Download Manager) wasn’t supported
Bottom Line:
RK bills itself as “the World’s Best Adult Network” but by subjective and objective measures I don’t agree with that. It’s not a bad network, but it isn’t the world’s best.
The network is made up of 39 themed sites. The usual porn themes are here, like big breasts, MILFs, and 18-year-old ladies, but there are also some fairly unique sites too. There are three sites that cater to scenes with multiple models in party settings (VIP Crew, In the VIP and Bikini Crashers). These are among my favourites but I can understand why others may not be interested in them.
The sites vary in size, with the more mainstream sites having lots of material (some have over 500 scenes) and some of the niche sites have only a handful of scenes. Each site opens into a separate page that list the scenes with a large thumbnail for each. On the left of that page is a column of filters for sub-themes. The scenes usually have a unique name and the main star is also listed. Opening the page for each scene brings more details and tags. You can access screencaps and pictures (which I didn’t download so I can’t comment on them) and you can access the video in any of several ways. Streaming is available, as are downloads. Downloads are offered in a few different ways, usually as a WMV and MP4. MP4 is available in larger sizes and smaller sizes for handheld devices. For some reason, even the newer scenes are frequently broken down into shorter clips for easier download, though the full scene is also available.
HD video is available on some scenes, though I didn’t download any because of the daily limit.
RK has been around for a long time so the quality of their videos has obviously changed. Older videos are low quality, but I can’t fault the site for that because that was the standard back when they were shot. Most of the older scenes are only available in three or four clips, which also made sense back when they were uploaded. It would be nice if the site took the time to stitch them together into one full file now that most people have high-speed internet connections. The newer scenes (in WMV) still aren’t great quality: 640x480 @ 1600kb/s and 768x432 @ 1600 are common. Subjectively they aren’t bad, but they aren’t great either.
Objectively, the site is decent, but not any better than many other networks. RK isn’t any better (or any worse) than places like Mofos and Porn Pros. In terms of quality they certainly can’t be compared to sites like ALS Scan and Diesel Access.
Subjectively the network isn’t all that impressive. I’ll admit that a lot of that is personal taste because I’m not into large breasts and huge asses. Those attributes are better represented than most others. There are sites that cater to my tastes in smaller models between 18 and 22, and I will admit I like the number of relatively unknown models who appear here.
One serious and unforgivable sin, and I realize that this is entirely subjective, is that one scene was mis-labeled. No big deal normally, but I joined the network specifically to see one scene: a Tanner Mayes scene that was categorized as anal. It might be called ‘anal’ because she has an anus, but no real anal sex occurs in the scene. I will admit that the guy does insert the head of his dick a couple of times, but that doesn’t count as anal sex.
Easily the biggest annoyance with RK is their daily download limit. While the limit itself would be annoying enough, they actually make it worse but applying it randomly. The limit is described in the membership contract using vague language so I emailed the support staff to ask for some clarification but never received a reply. Why bother having a ‘contact us’ button if you’re not actually going to respond to member’s questions? On several days I was cut off from downloading at less than the 10GB 24-hour limit. On other days I downloaded well in excess of the limit. There are PU members who report never having had a limit imposed on them. A site can certainly impose whatever conditions they want, but those conditions should be clear and applied equally to all members. And in 2011 10GB limit is absurdly low.
Another annoying choice that RK made is to not support download managers. I use Free Download Manager to queue up scenes that I want to download so I don’t have to sit at the computer for an hour or more, but FDM wouldn’t work with this site. I can’t say how it works with other managers, but if they bar one I’d guess they bar them all.
I’d recommend this site for someone who really wants a particular scene or is really into a specific niche that is represented here. But… anyone who does join should be aware that they MAY have a download limit imposed on them and that download managers don’t work. So unless you have a real desire to see a certain scene or model here, RK has nothing special to offer.

Pros:
-- Large Amount Of Content, both in quantity and variety. Enough to satisfy many interests.
-- High Quality Videos.
-- Sexy models. Model-types range from bra busters to thin and petite.
-- Good number of sub-sites with decent content(mostly)
Cons:
-- Streaming and Downloading can be hit or miss.
-- No High-Resolution Photos.
-- Repetitive photos in sequences.
-- Downloading Limit of 10 G daily.
Bottom Line:
A little background to put things in perspective:
My erotic interests: I am a breast guy. Curvy Women, Slim-and-Stacked or Voluptuous, Natural Women, MILF, Shapely Behinds.
I am primarily a photo guy, as well. I enjoy streaming videos but my primary taste in erotica is photography. I also travel quite frequently, so much of my viewing takes place on an Ipad, after transfer of data. Keep this in mind here.
With that being said, I have found the site to be somewhat lacking for my preferences, not in content or quality of the presentations, but in the medium available.
If you are looking for sexy models and high quality videos you will not be dissapointed. If you have a bias for high-resolution photography, you are likely to find the site lacking a bit in terms of photographic standards. However, given that I do view many of the images on an Ipad at times, this hasn't been a show-stopper. When viewed on a high-resolution flatpanel monitor, the images are lacking, simply due to the smaller formats and low pixel counts.
The videos themselves are of high-quality and the camera work is fairly decent. Many of the scenes start with the model fully clothed and do not jump right into the action.
Navigating the site is very simple and straightforward. It is designed quite well and is not lacking here, IMO. Jumping from one site to the other is seamless. Getting to the downloads is also seamless and straightforward. Everything is a click away.
As far as DL and Streaming speeds, this is where I give the lowest marks. At times, it was difficult to even stream videos at standard quanity. Most of the time, I was getting nowhere near the claimed DL speed and bit-ratre transfer when I did attempt to download videos at standard resolutions. The times I did try a HD download, I would often timeout and have to restart. On weekends, the problem was particularly noticeable. Slow connections are quite understandable at this time of the week. However, the server seemed to slow to a crawl and would often become asburdly slow.
To sum up, if variety, quality content, and video presentations are your primary interests, it's a safe bet that you probably will not be dissapointed. If transfer rates and streaming connectivity are of paramount importance, I would take this into consideration.
Cancelation: Just a note on this as I know this is one of my concerns when I sign up over the net. When I read reviews, I sometimes hear of extra charges taking place after an order has been canceled. I experienced no issues and giving notice of intent to cancel was no issue and took place as requested.

Grades: (obviously subjective calls, so take that into consideration as well.)
Presentation and Site Navigation: A
Overall Quality of Content: B+
Subject Matter Variety: A +

DL Speed and Streaming: D-
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
My favorite sub-sites within the URL--relative to my interests and not quality:
Least Favorite: Pure 18 and Cum Fiesta. (Models too thin and young-looking for my tastes)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Other things to note: There is a download limit of 10 GIG daily. This was of no concern to me as I stream videos mostly and did not download much in the way of videos. If you are a massive user of downloadable HD video content, this very well might be soemething to consider. If you aren't downloading HD more than twice a day, it shouldn't be a problem. In fairness to these guys, you would have to be downloading a lot of content every day to hit the max.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Suggestions for improvement:
-- Address concerns with streaming connectvity and download speeds. Slower speeds are to be expected on weekends but not weekdays.
-- Add high-resolution image galleries. The days of CRT monitors have long since passed. 800 pixel-width images images no longer cut it in the day of 2800x1900 high-resolution monitors.

Pros:
- Even though the network promotes itself as featuring more mature and more buxom models, there is still a lot here for those of us who like younger and more petite models
- Huge network of 27 sites
- Over 5000 scenes
- Exclusive (appears to be)
- Newer uploads (2009 onward) offer a wide range of file types and resolutions
- HD available
- Many sites updating regularly
- Bills through Epoch
- Allows download managers
Cons:
- Site has a lot of ads that can slow things down
- Have to enter your username and password each time
- More dead links than I’d expect on a network like this
- Older scenes are low resolution
- Some sites no longer updating
- Proportionally fewer anal scenes than similar networks (that’s obviously very subjective and isn’t factored into the score)
Bottom Line:
Like a lot of PU members probably did too, I joined this network to take advantage of the great price they were offering to commemorate uploading their 5000th scene. I had never considered joining before because much of the preview material made it clear that the site was more about buxom MILFs than the 18-22 petite stars I prefer. But with a $5 fee it was worth the risk. I know that this will be the 50th review posted here so to make this of some use to PU members who share my tastes I’ll review it from the perspective of someone preferring younger and more petite models.
The network has 27 sites up and while I realize that some readers may dispute my classification of sites, the majority of sites cater to members looking for older and more buxom models. I knew that going in and I’m not critical of that. I also won’t let that impact this review or the score.
There are some sites that focus on the young and petite. These are:
• Fast Times – 148 scenes, updating with two scenes added per month
• My Sister’s Hot Friend – 481 scenes, updating with up to eight scenes added per month
• Naughty Bookworms – 430 scenes, updating with up to eight scenes added per month
• Naughty Athletics – 137 scenes, hasn’t updated since August 2012
• I Have a Wife – 246 scenes, updating with up to four scenes added per month
• SoCal Coeds – 40 scenes, hasn’t updated since 2007
• My Dad’s Hot Girlfriend – 162 scenes, updating with up to four scenes added per month
• My Friend’s Hot Girl – 41 scenes, updating with up to three scenes added per month
• Naughty Country Girls – 22 scenes, hasn’t updated since 2009
• Naughty Rich Girls – 39 scenes, last update was January 2012
The network offers a wide variety of file types and resolutions on their newer scenes. There is really something for everyone. Mp4s are available in 1080p, 720p and 480p, WMVs are available in ‘DVD’ and ‘Normal’ and there is a Quicktime version and one for mobile devices. On all but the HD files they are also available in parts. I didn’t download all the various versions to test them, but what I did download is what it is advertised to be. The one problem with resolutions is that while they certainly offer state-of-the-art downloads now they didn’t always do that. On many older scenes the best offered is 512k which looks pretty bad. When these were being offered I’m fairly sure that they were not up to par with the best in the industry.
Streaming and photos are also available but I sampled neither so I can’t comment on those.
With the exception noted below, the network supports download managers and the links don’t appear to time-out quickly.
The site definitely has some flaws, and I realize that some of these may seem trivial but they add up to reduce the usefulness of the network. Not in any order, the flaws I found are:
• The network has no option to remember your username and password.
• If you’re on an individual site and click to open a scene, hitting your browser’s back button will kick you all the way back to page one, even if you were on page 30. Either remember where you were or use tabs. (This may not be a problem for people who don’t use IE.)
• Earlier in my membership I couldn’t use Internet Download Manager to download either of the two highest resolution files. That may be fixed now but I don’t know if it is.
• There are a lot more dead links on this network then I’ve seen with competitors.
One major flaw on the network is that it is extremely ‘busy’ with ads and feeds. Ordinarily I can overlook ads (they do work on me sometimes) because I realize it can be a decent revenue stream for exclusive networks like this but in this case they cross the line to be obtrusive. To even get into the network you have to click through two ads. Once in, the pages have a lot of ads. They’re obtrusive because they require a lot of time to download. I have a fiber op connection and on many occasions I had to wait for what seemed like a minute for the ads to load before I could navigate on the page.
I realize that this is purely subjective and many readers may not care or may see this as a plus, but for a network of this size they don’t have a lot of anal sex scenes. There were many models who are known for their anal performances who don’t do anal here. This is a subjective con, but for others it may be a plus. I’m just making the statement so that readers will know this.
So was this membership worth the heavily discounted price? Absolutely. Is it worth the usually-discounted price offered through TBP/PU? Definitely yes. Even for a guy who isn’t among the target customer group there was plenty of great porn with young and petite models to make this a worthwhile investment. I’d recommend that anyone who shares my interest in a particular type of model take the plunge regardless of the fact that the stuff we like is in the minority. There is still a lot of great stuff for us too.

Pros:
-Nice European and American solo and lesbian girls
-The sex is good and hard
-No men (except for the director, whose voice features in most movies)
-Variety of set locations, inside and outside
-Range of movie sizes, up to HD for many
-Movies are reasonably filmed and edited
-No music soundtrack (always a good thing)
-Zipped picture sets
Cons:
-A lot of fisting. If fisting isn't your favourite thing, this site may become boring fast
-Lots of movie downloads are just filmings of photo shoots - and anyone that has seen a photo shoot will know that the reality can be boring and show the falseness of the situation
-Many of the movies are just 'behind the scenes' features
-Some movies are not even porn - they are just naked girls in public locations acting goofy
-Entire photo sets are spread over several updates
-Male director talks during movies (that has lost 20 points alone). He also sounds gay, and I believe he is called Alex. (Yes, indeed.)
-Design/Navigation is terrible
-Proper porn movie content is not as huge as other similarly priced sites
Bottom Line:
If you like lots of fisting in your solo or lesbian porn (and I'm sure many guys out there do), and like hearing a male voice giving instruction and encouragement to the girls, then I would recommend this site to you.
As well as the fisting content, there are a couple of nice tribbing scenes too, and most of the girls generally seem very convincing and genuinely enjoying the sex - although there are clearly some 'actors' here not genuinely getting off. There's some anal too - but not in most scenes. And there is some peeing that tries to pretend it is 'squirting' (does anyone really believe that?) as well as some honest peeing, and a few apparently genuine orgasms where white girl goo is seen oozing from the open pussy (although after a fisting session you can't be sure it's not just lube).
There are better looking sites out there, offering more variety with better navigation and bigger content - but if you are looking around for something new, and can cope with the negative points mentioned, it might just be worth a look.
Highly recommended to guys that enjoy hearing a male voice (and especially a gay-sounding one) talking while they wank. The score leaps to 85 for those people.

Pros:
Others have given all the details (quality, regularity of updates and navigation etc. etc.) regarding this site, so allow me to generalize and simply state, or shout: This is without a doubt the best amateur site I have come across so far.
Instead of a bevy of aspiring porn stars (read clones) here be found real women! Arghh!
There are the skinny, the chubby, the shaved, the hairy, the teens and the mature. There are teeth that aren't capped, pimples that aren't hidden under layers of make-up, hair that's not always perfect, instead there's simply a bunch of models who are for the most part unabashed exhibitionists, cheered on by photographers (female) who don't give a hoot if they end up in the picture now and then, by accident or design.
I think the web mistress defiantly proclaims through every set and video: take us or leave us!
Well, I gladly take it! The site is one of the few that's true to its niche, yet the pictures and videos are of good to excellent quality.
Cons:
I really can't find any cons, except for the usual one: that some of the older material is obviously not as high quality as the newer stuff.
Bottom Line:
Summing up: this is my second subscription to this site. I was so delighted with it first time around that I put down money for a three month subscription this time. (Billing through CCBill, another plus)
After reading tons of reviews from my fellow PU members I must warn those who express disappointment in connection with other sites because they always find some models that fall short of their ideal, that this might not be the perfect site for them.
However, for those who long for natural rather than "porn queen pretty", this could easily become their second home.
I know that I find ALL of the girls gorgeous because they almost manage to convince an old cynic that they are not just posing for money.
They ARE the girls/women next door who like to be naughty now and then. Three cheers for our friends from Oz for running a great site.

Pros:
- Site looks great and is well put together
- Tons of original and exclusive content
- Calendar with the upcoming weeks updates
- Convenient "download view" window makes it easy to download full video, video clips, or zip file of pics
- You can save you favorite girls and keep an eye out for new updates
- There are 27 sites that each have a different theme
- Hundreds or models and thousands of pics and videos
- Great download speed
- Great price
- Easy site sign up
- You can click on a girl for her basic stats and a list of other shoots available
- Good search function
- Many videos come with some acting
Cons:
- The models in pure 18 are pretty much the same models in cum fiesta, big naturals, and a few other sites. The models are definitely under 25 but don't look that close to 18.
- The picture sets seem to be taken at the same time as the video. This isn't always bad but looking at the pics it kinda like oh yea I remember that from the video. I like it when some of the shoots are just for photo.
- Hundreds of pics from each shoot may give you pic overload. i.e. you download 1- zip set and now you have 4000 pics and you don't have the time to look at that many pics
- Some videos come with acting that is often not the best quality but its easy to skip if you don't like it.
- Reality is kind of lacking from the site. Most of the porn seems to be professional.
- Bio on models could be longer
Bottom Line:
For less than 20 bucks I think this site as really good. From the second I entered the site I was impressed with how great the site looked and how easy it was to navigate. With 27 different sites, each with a different them, I kinda didn't know where to start. Some of my favorites are Cumfiesta, We Live together, Captain Stabbin, and Mike's Apartment. Most of the porn at these sites have some basic story line to them but the story doesn't really seem to get in the way of the sex.
Again, I really like the layout of the site. When you find a shoot you like the "Download/View" box makes download a snap. I don't use the stream buttons much but streaming seems to be fine. If you like one of the models from the shoot you can click on her name and the site takes you to a short bio about the model and a list of other shoots starring that model. There is a good search function for both model and for type of shoot. If you really like a certain model you can save her and then check her page for updates.
One thing I found funny is the fact that the site is called "Reality Kings" but it seems like most of the content is generated by professionals. Although some of the sites have a more amateur feel than others. This didn't really bother me much because, in my opinion, the content is generally better than amateur type porn anyway.
I also liked the fact that many of the models seem to move from site to site. If I find a model in "We Live Together" I will get to see her in hot girl on girl but I am not likely to see her in M/F action. But if I click on her name I may find that she also models in Pure 18 and has a great M/F seen on that site.
One thing I did find is that some of the girls on the Pure 18 site tend to look like they are under 25 but not really close to 18. I also think that the MILF and Its Real sites are kind of a bore and the content is not so good.
Was a member approx. 2 months prior to this review.
Pros:
Great customer feel and good reputation. No dirty tricks. You do not find yourself signing up unknowingly for some other site or promotion. Advertising and promotion is mimimal, and they have no download limits or drm.
The proverbial wealth of material is here, going back years, so great value for money.
The girls look for the most part like genuine amateurs rather than porn stars. I would say some have that girl next door look, except she looks and sounds like a rottweiler.
Refreshingly few tattoos, piercings, and fake breasts.
The focus is on the girls. The males are not irritating and do not get in the way. There is no back to front baseball cap, trying to act black, while waving their arms at the camera and yelling "yo" or slapping the girls ass while shouting "whore." Here kid, just hold this pin for a few seconds will you? Oh yeah and the grenade too.
Material is exclusive.
Quality zipped pics.
No choking and spitting, girls treated with respect.
Bonus material from H.A.
Cons:
Biggest negative for me is the real scarcity of hardcore.
Beautiful girls but a disappointing small number of girls outside the white slim category. There are only a few latin, black, or asian girls, and not that many full figure girls.
The look of the site is imo really boring and dreary. The index and home sections just look, well...uninspiring and as exciting as a phone directory. Okay, just my opinion and it is a small negative.
I personally found the navigation hard. It's been mentioned before but it is sometimes difficult to distinguish between the girls, because of the small photos in the uninispiring index, the way they are named, and my cross referencing problems. Others think the navigation is fine, so maybe it's me.
For girls who do both hard and soft, instead of mixing the softcore shoots together with the hardcore ones they are separate, which is a shame because you cannot get a slow strip to naked, softcore poses, then hardcore.
No build up in hardcore videos.
Bottom Line:
Pics are 1001x1500 or 684x1024. Top spec downloadable wmv videos are 960x540 then 640x480.
MP4 streaming.
Regarding navigation, from the index you can choose from categories like "teens, "exotics" "hardcore" or just an A-Z of all the girls in chronological order. You can look up a girl and find the categories they comes under like "teen " or "hardcore" and find all their shoots and videos. I found it really hard to navigate and cross reference, for instance - teen amateur hardcore video.
There are tons of pages but the navigation is a mess with all the material they have.
The naming system and the index are not great and add to the fog of trying to find out what there is, where it is, and who it is. There is a wealth of material but it was a real chore, not a pleasure looking through the site.
The videos and pics have a samey look about them, but are professionally done, with good camerawork and lighting which makes the best of the models.
The videos do not take long to get down to action. There is no real build up, stripping or teasing. Oral is followed by mainly straight sex. Not a lot of anal. The videos show the whole girl as well as the close ups. I hate too many close ups but thankfully the cameraman allows you to see the whole girl while having sex, not just a groin.
The whole style of the photos and the videos is a little old fashioned. I don't mean that in a bad way. It is like it used to be before they started slapping the girl's ass, pulling her face, choking her, and generally doing stuff that made the girl and the porn shoot less attractive. I personally could have done with more anal and more hardcore videos. There is a great shortage of hardcore on the site. Despite that I consider my money well spent. I will probably join Hometown Amateurs at some stage when I can bring myself to brave the navigation problems.
Their videos and pics although not top high res, are still good quality.
The older pics and videos situation is similar to other older sites. They are not up to the quality of the new material and the videos are split into smaller segments. If they had removed all that it would not be noticed as a negative, and some sites do remove it. It cannot be considered a negative because they have so much to see plus you get the old material as bonus. They also update fairly regularly.
For me, the main negative is the scarcity of hardcore material. I have seen other reviews so knew what to expect, but was still a little disappointed. You will notice a lot of my pros are negative negatives along the lines of no download limits and no irritating males, which you would hope most sites wouldn't have anyway. But in the real world a lot of sites get it wrong whereas mostly this site gets it right.
I hope this review stays as the latest review for a while and gets em some customers and isn't replaced by some 3 line newbie review consisting of great videos, great pics, great girls, what more can you ask, 100.

Pros:
-No DRM.
-No site timeout.
-Nice-sized thumbnail of the female model to illustrate each video.
-Some cute models.
-The girls are real teens, not twenty- or thirty-year olds trying to appear much younger.
-Can add/view comments on videos and photosets.
-Can rate the videos photosets.
-Small watermark bottom right-hand corner of photos.
-The videos are mainly clear and crisp, with adequate lighting. The videos and photosets are less gonzo style than the other sites in the network, but are not glamor-style, more like in-between gonzo and glamor style.
Cons:
-There is no search. Not a major problem because the site is so small. Only 75 videos so far. Can list the videos by name of model or by date posted
(but date posted is not accurate or reliable).
-Occasionally, a photo will not display when you click on the thumbnail, get an error message: "cannot be displayed, because it contains errors".
-Hard to tell what the update rate is, because the posting dates are unreliable.
-Only 1 size of file to download video (no choice of hi, mid, lo quality).
-Videos download as WMV files (no other file extension choice).
-Only 1 size of zip file to download photoset.
-Limited types of models: they are all white Eastern European teens.
Bottom Line:
Hardcore teen site, with some good looking young teens.
Sample size for the videos and photosets:
Videos are 400 MB to 1 GB
Photosets are 40 MB to 120 MB
Currently 75 videos with a matching photoset for each video.
Usually 1 video per model. A few models have 2 videos. Photos are crisp, but mainly to illustrate the video action; the photos are not artistic or glamor style such as the softcore photo sites like metart or mplstudios.
The style of the photos is more natural than glamor. I personally don't like the photos, but some PU members might appreciate them: they are
clear, usually crisp, hardcore photosets, with some really nice-looking models. Natural style of photography. The video and photoset are mainly
hardcore boy-girl; a few sets are softcore or midcore, where the girl is solo or with a second girl.
The photosets approach high quality in terms of photo size. But you don't actually get the quality of a met-art, mplstudios or other softcore photo site. I don't understand why it's so hard to make a quality hardcore
photoset. This site has plenty of cute girls, doing hardcore, but the photography is poor or lacking: in the flesh colors of the girls, in the
presentation of the girls, the girls just lack attractiveness or allure in the photos. I grew up in the days of Playboy and Penthouse. I didn't like every Playboy or Penthouse photoshoot, but in many cases, the girls/women looked extremely attractive, sexy, luscious, gorgeous, adorable, lovely.
You don't get that in these photosets. You can find it in the met-art and mplstudios and other glamor teen sites. The problem is that the girls are not presented at their best. It's like you buy an off brand of some product you like, Cheerios, or Rice Crispies, and the taste is blah
instead of what you get from the major brand.
They don't use photoshop or airbrushing on these photos, and that's part of why I rate the photos lower. But it's also the skin tone of the models,
the posing, the composition, everything that factors into how attractive or erotic a photograph is. The photosets are high quality in the size of the photos (each photo is 100 KB to 1 MB), but the quality of the photos is not up to the standards of the softcore glamor sites.
Some of the models at this site are also at met-art, glamdeluxe, justteensite, mplstudios, etc. And they look much more attractive on the
other sites, because of the photography or videography.
If this site is included in your network membership, you should definitely check the site out. Some models here (mainly the same ones shown on many of the other sites in the network) are very attractive, the videos are shot less gonzo style, the photosets are worth looking at.

Pros:
Its a new site and has only been online for a month, but $70 for 6 months membership I consider is superb value for money.
Currently over 2gb of video content, so lets see what updates come
Cons:
If you join monthly its a little expensive, however join for 6 months or 12 months and its superb value for money so long as the updates come, but like I said above its a brand new site so we have to give them time
Bottom Line:
The video content is superb if your looking for real genuine british amateur porn, dogging and outside sex videos, some vids are a little short at 5mins, but there are also plenty 20mins and 30mins
$70 for 6 months is bloody superb value for money!!
Current Member for less than 1 month (at the time of review).
Pros:
-TONS of content for both hardcore and softcore fans
-Lots of hardcore videos featuring well known teen/early 20s pornstars and some hot amatuers as well.
-Updates ALOT
-Action is pretty damn hot.
-Newer video content has streaming options.
-Newer videos are in "HD" (see negatives)
-You can search for models alphabetically or in certain categories (athletic, ethnic, a few others...)
-Pictures look great. Newer sets are in High Res, and even med res and low res arent bad on older sets.
-Advanced Search option helps you find what you are looking for.
-Male talent deliver some good cumshots in HC scenes
-Site is organized. Not hard to navigate and find what you want.
-No DRM
-No download limit
Cons:
-Lone site...meaning not part of a network, despite having several other sites that could be part of one (KarupsOW and PC)
-Expensive for what it offers compared to other sites and what they offer.
-No model info...at all.
-Scene offered in HD arent TRULY HD. Doesnt bother me much but may bother some.
-Nearly 2/3rds of the videos on the site have no full download option...meaning you have to download them in parts.
-Content is extremely straight forward. No frills at all really.
-Site Navigation is easy, but is also very tedious due to limited options and large amount of content.
-Site design is very bland.
-Some Download Managers dont work with site.
-Setting is pretty much always the same for hardcore stuff (bed on generic set or in generic room)
Bottom Line:
There honestly isnt alot to say that TBP didnt cover in their review...Im just not quite as generous with my score for several reasons.
There is alot to like about KarupsHA. I joined because there were some cute faces I never seen before and I wasnt disppointed with the girls or the amount of content. There is enough content here to keep teen porn lovers fat an giggly for awhile.
But being that I am not that big into pictures, videos are my focus. I do give them credit for the pictures though. They deliver on that for those who are into it. And yes, I did factor it into my score, despite it not being my thing.
The videos offered are good all around. Not GREAT, but good. The quality of video for newer scenes is solid, but the HD scenes are not true HD. Im not big into the 2 GB file sizes so I rarely download true HD vids anyway. What annoys me here is that their "HD" videos are still pushing 1 GB in alot of cases, and they dont look much better than DVD qualtiy scenes on other sites, which are about half the size of these files.
The biggest issue I think I had was the lack of full video downloads before mid-2008. I mean come on...MID 2008? They werent fucking offering full downloads as of that point? I can understand the stuff from the early 2000s and even 2005 maybe...but 2000 fucking 8? Gimme a break. And even if that is the case....by now, they shouldve started converting them to full videos like Reality Kings and other sites have done. But NO...they are content offering a huge amount of their video content in parts, and there are ALOT of good videos in that form....so you have to go through each one individually and save them in parts.
That fact alone dropped this site 10 points in my book. Thats unacceptable, especially considering how recent it is and that they dont even seem to care about converting those into full videos.
Im not going to rant on forever, because my review and TBPs review say most of what needs to be said.
Bottom line...I do recommend this site if you are into the type of content it offers. There is alot of keep you happy, and even more if you like softcore stuff and pictures.
Personally, I wont be staying past my 1 month. Not so much because its not a good site or worth more months, but because there are many better porn offerings that offer better stuff, more of it and for the same price or cheaper.
Thats another issue I had....is the fact that they have this site, and then KarupsOW and KarupsPC. Why not offer that as a packaged network? Then I could see staying more time. As it is, you have to join each site separately at 30 bones a month, which is way WAY too much.
So its definitely a quality site worth a looksee, but for me, its one and done. If you like pictures and softcore, you may want to (and have to) spend a few months there to see everything they have to offer.
