Pros:
+ pictures now have 2000 pixels on the long side
+ good customer support (my account got unlocked in a few minutes)
+ good mix of beautiful models of all ages of which some have (intimate) piercings and or tatoos which is IMHO great
+ models come from the US and Europe too
+ updates come regular (but could be more)
Cons:
- navigation is poor compared to other sites in the same niche
- all new ZIP files are named model_name.zip which forces you to rename them all plus there's no chance to find out which sets are the new ones which is very annoying
- not many videos and quality is poor
- I found some ZIP files with broken images (even within the newest updates!)
- older content still available but only good for collectors that want to have everything from their favourite models
- DL limit of 10 GB per day.
- beware that this site offers softcore only and only a few scenes seem to contain insertions of vibrators, dildos and other objects
- only some information about the models. Even their measurements or a short bio are missing.
- only a basic comment system and it can take 1 or two days until your comment has been approved
Bottom Line:
I quickly reached the DL limit while being at home on a Sunday. The error message I got was misleading to problems with my password being guessed by someone else. I was puzzled to read that my account was blocked for "excessive downloads". My access to the Internet is not that fast but I managed to download 10 GB during daytime.
The site itself is quite nice but needs lots of improvement as compared to my favourite site which is AllOver30. They update more often (from Monday to Saturday) and offer better quality even though they lack some beauties in the age over 60 that Aunt Judys offers.
More care should be taken when uploading ZIP files to the members area. It's always embarassing to find archives with broken content.
My download manager (GetRight) won't work for this site which makes it even harder to hunt for the good content. I experienced that 6 simutaneous connections are the limit so you also have to be careful not to download more than 4 or 5 files in a row because otherwise the site will block further connections.
To be honest I'll cancel mysubscription soon and may come back in a year or so to give them time to improve and update their site. I'll give AJ 73 points which is the maximum I can give based on the fact that their archive is quite large but it's hard to hunt down the gems :-(
Those that like older girls should give it a try but keep in mind that surfing there can be frustrating. If you are after videos then this site won't give you much to look at.

Pros:
- Great repository of photos of gals over 30.
- They use some of the premier photogaphers
- Nice collection and searchable by name
- Best Older Model Only site I have seen
Cons:
- I would have preferred greater content update in terms of frequency and volume.
- Some of the photographers and sets are not that good.
Bottom Line:
Good site and I have been an on again and off again subscriber. I would be an always on again if their were more frequent (and greater number) of updates. Like 8-10 model sets a day would be good.

Pros:
- Site has ton of pictures, tons of models
- New series are updated daily, at least 7 per day
- wide variety of models in terms of size, shape, age
- Site features work of some outstanding photographers (others not so good - see cons)
- specializes in featuring girl-next-door natural models.
- Not loaded with jaded strippers or porn stars
- Many (not all) sets are well shot, with plenty of explicit spread shots. Not for shy people.
- Very high quality jpgs.
- Site tries to supply videos of models with mixed success
- Considering the size of the database, searching is pretty darn good.
- Rating system is crude, but can show some general trends of what is hot and what is not.
Cons:
- New male/female sex videos detract from the site that was great for featuring solo, amateur models. Site is starting to take on a cheap porno feel.
- Too many recycled models. Most models have 10 sets, but lately they have used some models for upwards of > 40 sets. How many different nude sets of one model do you need?
- Increasing lack of American Girl-Next-Door models. This is very disappointing
- Too many Eastern European aspiring porn stars. The exception is work by Sean R. who features an interesting variety of girls from Great Britain.
- Lots of butch lesbians
- Too many of the photographers are unable or unwilling to get good spread crotch and spread ass shots. General lack of good bent over ass and pussy close ups. You can tell the bad ones by the ratings. There are trends.
- They "expire" model sets older than 4 years and recycle these on the ATK Archives site which cost you double if you want to see both.
- No user forum for comments and feedback.
Bottom Line:
I have subscribed since 2001. It is an outstanding site. It could be better, but it is way above it's peers. I am a little disappointed by the lack of new models and the increasing number of recycled models. Some models have over 40 sets and this really is overkill at the expense of them not providing new models. Also, they have less and less American models. I wonder why?
There is a huge range in photographer ability. Some are great at capturing graphic close-up spread shots and ass shots, others are not so good and should be shooting for R-rated Playboy mags. I do not find the new "Action" sets and videos interesting. I can rent cheap porn down the street. They need to concentrate on hairy, girl next door models. The few action shots they provide feature lots of fake cum shots which is pretty lame if you ask me. I'd estimate that 80% of the cum shots in the still sets are staged with lotion. Quite lame for a site that claims it is all about being real and no airbrushing, fake tits, etc.
Site speed and downloading of zips has steadily improved over the years, as has the quality of the jpg files. There is downtime, but I'd guess they are up >95% and fix errors quick.

Pros:
-Discount through a link on TBP news from webmasters. TBP should be getting a link sometime soon.
-Very big site. See below.
-Bill through CCBill.
-No download limits, DRM, or other problems with the site functioning properly.
-Easy to use search function, essential for a site of this size.
-Nice variety of model types, with varying ages, ethnicities, and sizes.
Cons:
-Far too many models that are plain and unattractive. I see several others made the same criticism. See comments by Drooler and TheRizzo. The review by Capn complains about the older models.
-Although true to the niche of hairy, it includes many who don't shave their legs or under their arms. You can easily download a video of one of these and find out only as you watch it. The reason is that the preview function is not very helpful. This is also a problem regarding tattoos.
-Too many tattoos. The site bills itself as natural, but they mean real breasts. I consider tattoos unnatural.
-MANY videos are too blabby. Too much emphasis on interviews at the expense of the visuals.
-Far too many are old videos that are in low quality clips only. Even the newer videos are not very watchable on an HD television.
Bottom Line:
I see the other reviews focus mostly on the photos. While these are plentiful, I am much more into videos. My perspective is a bit different.
The first thing I noticed is that the site statistics vary from what is listed on TBP. The site says there are 1,300 models-TBP states 2,600. The site states 800,000 images but TBP states 1,600,000. In both cases TBP lists double what the site states on the preview page. I cannot truly verify the number as the site is VERY big and not that easy to navigate. In any case the true numbers are extremely big.
However, it is not as big as you may think. If you eliminate the simply unnattractive, the overly bushy, they call them hairy scary, the ones that are excessively blabby, and all the older videos that are available as only unacceptable, low quality clips, then you get maybe 100 to 150 models. That is not a bad number, but that means you have to do a lot of work to find them.
When I took a good look at what they have on these models, I felt the videos were not of 2009 quality. While advertised as 640x480 and over 2600kbps as their best quality, I find them very blurry and unwatchable on my HD television. Statistics make for nice reading, but the truth is that the site is just too far behind the times.
Without a major upgrade to the older material, all of it is useless. The site has been around since 1998, so at least half, if not more, of the site is unwatchably poor quality. The newer material, while quite better, is still not what I look for. What a disappointment.
If you like photos, the quantity is there for you. If you are mostly into videos as I am, not recommended.

Pros:
Frequent large updates.
Huge amount of material.
Vast model list.
Models vary from teens to grannies.
Quality in recent times is very good, but older stuff is of variable quality.
Probably the best Hairy niche site.
Full photoset zip downloads.
Cons:
Some models are excessively 'mature.'
Well preserved ladies are fine by me, but some of their mature models are well past their sell by date! :0/
Whilst I love a really hairy minge, I find excessive leg & armpit hair a bit gross.
It is a shame that the membership doesn't include any preferential discounts for any of ATKs other sites.
Of late the photosets have tended to be much larger, with a lot of near identical shots.
I wish they would allow for a user selected custom zip. I have suggested it, but never received any reply.
Bottom Line:
There are no pretentions that this is an unbiased review. My own preferences have always seemed to be very niche! Have a look at my profile to see what they are! ;0)
I have not made comments re video, because I seldom bother with them so it would not be fair to pass comment.
Whilst the pricing isn't bargain basement, on balance it represents good value for money IMO.

Pros:
+Updates are always exclusive content, of their “featured petite” models, every day from site launch
+Exclusive featured petite model photos are 1600px
+Usually (not always!) 2 updates per day (2 photosets, or 1 each of photo and video)
+Zips of all photosets
+Videos in up to 5 formats: Flash Stream, QT, MP4, WMV (854x480), and WMVHD (1280x720, 4025 kbps)
+621 “bonus” petite models with tons of content – but see the cons
+Fast downloads to 2Mbps
+Great search engine that allows many kinds of searches
+ The results of your 10 most recent searches are automatically stored and easily retrieved
+No DRM
Cons:
-Only 14 “featured petite” models so far, and they vary in appeal (looks and whether or not they do hardcore, if you’re a hard core hardcore fan)
-Bonus content is previously published material from other ATK sites such as ATK Galleria, ATK Premium, ATK Exotics, and ATK Natural and Hairy
-Some bonus content is pre-2007 (max pic size 1024px; vids not as good as these days)
-Most featured petite models have also appeared on other ATK sites, so quite a lot of their content is also not really exclusive to the ATK Petites site
-Even recent videos not always available in all formats, including HD. Saw one hardcore of Dani Cole in only 2 formats, though the wmv vid looked fine.
-Visitors cannot view recent updates or browse listings of models
Bottom Line:
Us guys are not such a varied lot; we’re a lot like the fare at the local pizzeria. Women, on the other hand, I’d liken to Asian food. There’s so much variety! To say nothing of delicious! This is true among the petite girls here (“bonus” stuff, too). They’re by definition trim, no taller than 5’4”, and no heftier than 110 pounds. From there, the possibilities are nonetheless staggering.
The “featured petite” models are Aundra (10 galleries, 5 videos), Camila (23, 7), Dani Cole (26, 5), Emma (11, 4), Emy (44, 15), Evie (16, 5), Jana Foxy/Jordan (42, 12), Jayme Langford (48, 12), Kaylee (3, 2), Lexi Belle (33, 6), Marie McCray (100, 12), Nicole Raye (50, 13), Olivia, seen at FTV Girls as Lidia (9, 3), Stephanie Crane (19, 9). NB: Figures include both “Petite” exclusive and other ATK site content.
Not that I’m “staggered” by each and every one. Aundra is too skinny! Marie needs to watch it with the high fructose corn syrup, or whatever the cause might be. Emma has acne, though she’ll get past that and probably blossom into a full-blown woman soon enough. She does hardcore, and I’ve heard that sex helps clear the pores.
One standout is Jayme Langford. Some of the photosets of her reveal subtle nuances of mood that are worth slowing down to take in. Well, obviously I’m smitten.
It’s not easy to score this site. Petite fans, especially those with no ATK site experience, would probably love it. Those with credit card statements reflecting one or more ATK site purchase might want to hold off longer until the exclusive content has grown more. Still, it wouldn’t be fair to knock the site for simply being fairly new. So whether you agree with the score or not, I hope you now know enough to make an informed decision about whether or not to subscribe.

Pros:
#overall a solid good photo archive; out of all photo archives I have seen over the past year - the ATK Natural and Hairy archive won me over- it took the air out my lungs; and made me into a slut; looking through archives at cute, beautiful, smart women for hours.
#beautiful girls; includes attractive 30-40 yr olds; and well as the young and hairy; and scary hairy.
# raunch and rude style photosets: booty hiked up in the air in your face- skirt pulled up high; panties pulled up real tight. Relentless in-your-face raunch- pic after pic; legs spread wide; legs pinned behind ears. Its Quite different from glamour sites. Sets go on well into the 200- 300 pic range; others are less than that. 90- 160.
#raunch is shown by skirts and stretch pants with lint on them; panties that show wear and have stains on them- even skid marks.
#yet other models are very clean; with cute clean outfits and spot free panties and outfits.
#well balanced, exotics, mature, young, softcore, and hardcore
Cons:
#Wives and Girlfriends section should either be dropped or replaced - not a full section
#1024 x 684 mic in older parts of the site (sets made in 2006)
#navigation doesn't allow for key words, slowing down navigation for movies and sets.
#same panties are worn in multiple sets
# good resolution for a volume site- but not great. Other sites offer much larger pics.
# movies are hard to navigate.
#hardcore sets just begun; small section right now.
#you have to like hair; most are crotch hair; but some sets have hair on legs as well.
Bottom Line:
I was overcome by the power of beauty of ATK Natural and Hairy. This site is for you if you like bold; rather rude and crude poses. This is definately not a glamour site; or an art site. You get booties hiked up in your face; panties pulled up tight and in your face; legs spread wide; and even balance between softcore and hardcore.
the movies are not in Hd just WIndows at good but not great resolution.
Jasmine's sets made me blow my first wad. She has 8,693 pics; 40 updates; 5 vids.
The archives are deep. Young and Hairy; volumes 720- 1071. Scary Hairy; (18 -23yr old) vol 261 - 622; Hairy Lesbians; vol 32 - 56 (18-23);Hairy Fun 179- 291- masterbation; exotic and hairy vols 55-300
Like I said, ATK natural and Hairy offers just about everything good; mature, 18 -23 year olds; exotics; and lesbians; masterbation; vids are interviews; masterbation with fingers and toys. Overall, the vids would be better if I could find them better. No search boxes; just drop boxes.
Gallery lovers of softcore and hardcore will like this site. Mature galleries offer attractive women- different women will appeal to different people. Movie lovers will like this site- only if they can find them- have to look for them.

Pros:
Been a member of this site for a couple of years now and would agree with The Bishop's comments below. Sean R's sets are the real heart of the site, awesome close-up hairy pussy, and recently a far higher percentage of the photo sets seem to be by him.
It's been hi-res for the last year or so, and recently they've added some hard-core sets which aren't and may well be copied from another of their sites.
7-8 photosets and a couple of videos every day is a pretty good update frequency.
Cons:
Videos aren't great.
New hard core sets are low-res and cum shots are always on the stomach - what's with that all the time!?
Quite a few of the photographers besides Sean R seem to miss the point that's it a hairy pussy site so the models are still dressed three quarters of the way through the set.
Sets are divided in to galleries between which there don't seem to be much difference: Young and Hairy, Scary Hairy etc it's all girls in the 20-30 range with hairy pussies!
Bottom Line:
I'm really splitting hairs ( sorry, couldn't resist!) on the Cons above, it's still by far the best site around for hairy pussy fans especially if you aren't overly interested in video or hard-core.
Current Member for less than 1 month (at the time of review).
Pros:
I've searched the web now and again looking for the natural look, and this site I always end up coming back to.Not all of the content is excellent of course, and not saying all the girls are supposed to enjoy doing this, but from all the content there are only really 2 photographers worth looking at. Well that is all I've discovered in this site. However don't let that put you off stuff by R Williams and Sean R are very good. R Williams stuff has great angles, and he does great close shots including 'up arse'. Hs sets are usually around the 70-80 mark, and are in the same locations. Wait till you get a load of Sean R though...He is now the photographer with the most images on the site, and generally speaking his stuff is very good, and best of all most sets are well over 200 images, with some outstanding sets with great angles. Also, aside from a few most of his content is clear. If only his sets included full bottom shots like R Williams, I love them as I'm an arse man :)
Single zips.
Cons:
There is a lot of fuzzy stuff, I think mainly from Eastern Europe, and even if that wasn't a problem, the angles and the rest aren't up to it, when compared to Sean R/R Williams. Another note, some people are like me put off by hairy legs, but there are only a few of the models in this really scary hairy bracket, so not really a problem.
Their voting system is way to look at what other members consider 'hot' but I wish they had a forum (though they do respond to mails quickly) but would be nice to have a forum to request more posting of really good models. sometimes they just appear, which is a nice surprise but would be good if there was some interaction.
Bottom Line:
Aside from the cons, thankfully most of the models I like, and best of all 10 sets seems to be the norm, with some of Sean Rs going to 20 and more! A lot have a glorious hairy bush, which I find so erotic..So what I’d say is: go for it, but plan the visit around a period when you don't have any commitments!!

Pros:
- Massive collection of hot amateur exotics
- Currently over 1.3 million photos available
- Over 2400 videos to download or stream
- Just about 1600 exotic models to choose from
- Photos available in 4 different sizes.
- Zip files available for sets (see con for flipside)
- Model index with partial bios for models
- Navigation is much better than previous years.
- Pretty detailed search engine
- Multi catagories - ex: black, asian, latin, indian.
- Updated every day
- Quality photos with amateur feel
Cons:
- Photo sizes still not in the 2000+ longest side dimensions. Time to step up with the other big boys
- Video download speeds were inconsistant.
- Video quality still not on part with some of the best HD out there.
- Zip files are broken down by each page not by the entire set.
- Not enough Indian girls for me.
- More bio info on the girls would be good.
- All models should have photos and videos
Bottom Line:
To me ATK Exotics has always been the best value for fans of exotic women. The majority of the content is black women but they do have pretty good archives of sexy asian, latin and indian girls and feature these girls in both hardcore and softcore photos and videos.
With over 1.3 million photos and 2400 videos there is so much dark skinned beauties to enjoy that you definitely get your moneys worth especially over those few reality type sites with 50 scenes.
ATK could definitely stand to increase the size of their photo sets as well as the quality of the video being shot and encoded to keep up with the times. And they should also check to see why their server speed can flucuate so much.
Navigation has improved as has the quality of the content being shot lately. Some of the girls are stunning. I also like that they have a rating system in place that lables the girls that the other members think is hot. Makes it easy to find the sexy girls quickly when time is short.
I think this is a site to join once every 4 months or so to get the new content. Diehard ethnic fans though may find themselves members for a long time.
With the $5 discount from Paysite Discounts this site is definitely great value at $25 for the month and worth a look if you like your women dark, amateur and exotic.

Pros:
* Lots of women, many unknown
* Tasteful solo scenes, with real atmosphere
* Simple site layout (but caution!)
* Tons of still photos, if that's your thing
Cons:
* Site navigation is horrifically, comically awful.
* No community atmosphere (i.e., interaction from members and staff)
* A surplus of solo scenes
Bottom Line:
I joined ATK because I'd seen the name on review sites and some of the pics on tgp's. Immediately after joining, disappointment set in. Why? Well...
First, the site layout and navigation is pitiful. Click "movies," and you get to the movies page. The page itself is bare, just an endless list of women's first names. This is the extent of the categorizing and cataloging on the site. Think about it -- you can't search for boy-girl, Asian, etc. You can't search by fantasy. You have to click through all these first names until you get to the type of scene you want. Man ... it's bad.
One other bone to pick: ATK Premium feels like a barren wasteland, as though there's no one behind the site. No company, no directors, no members even. It doesn't have the same community atmosphere as the megasites out there.
On the plus side, there are a lot of fresh-faced women with very natural bodies.
Bottom Line: As other reviewers have said, ATK Premium doesn't deserve the "premium" label.
Current Member for over 2 months (at the time of review).
Pros:
Lots of great pics
Good selection, and like how you can search for what you want
Very good selection of Videos
Cons:
No trial period
Bottom Line:
If you like women with a bushy pussy then this site is for you! If that's your nic I think this site is top in that field. I would certainly recommend it.
Current Member for over 2 months (at the time of review).
Pros:
Lots of attractive, hirsute models.
Daily updates containing new photo sets as well as video segments.
A way to rate the quality of a picture set as well as the "hotness" (or not) of a given model which is great when the photographer missed in his shoot and the set is rated low. This way one can always mollify the model by going to her page and give her a five (hot) if one loves the model but hates the present set.
Good search engine.
Cons:
The quality of the picture sets is wildly uneven.
In today's (Sept. 29, '08) update, for instance, one set is way too dark, one has a bluish tinge throughout, and the one containing one of my favorites is way too saturated with color to be pleasing to the ordinary eye.
I find, in general, that lately the photographers don't show too much imagination and that many of their sets could be clones of one another. I've even seen the same set of underwear on three different models.
There is still no way to download a whole set of pictures with one zip file.
Videos are still ill-lit, lacking color and definition, of early 2000s quality and not up to 2008 standards and generally not worth downloading. A few of the more tolerable ones have a video-grapher who never shuts up, forcing one to watch them with the sound turned off.
Bottom Line:
I'm currently on my second subscription (this time a 3 month one) to this site because first time around I was so delighted to find a "natural" (read hairy) site that it blinded me a bit to its shortcomings.
The models are beautiful, but they (the site) desperately need new photographers and new models, a few more mature ones wouldn't hurt and also find a way to treat the picture sets with Photoshop or similar program so the pics will look more natural before they present them to their subscribers.
I really find it appalling that nothing has been done to improve the quality of the videos since I subscribed the first time. I realize that this is primarily a soft core picture site but with the sets getting boring, proof: lower and lower marks by the viewers on many of the sets, it would have been nioe to have decent videos as alternatives.
This is another site that had great success initially and is now resting on its laurels by stubbornly sticking to an outdated formula.
I would still recommend it to hair lovers because sites like this are hard to find these days. I can't even recommend an alternative since the one site that could compete with ATK Natural And Hairy has material of even lesser quality.
Bottom line: ATK's Natural And Hairy leaves me more and more bored in connection with picture sets and videos that never seem to change.
Was a member approx. 1 month prior to this review.
Pros:
-Content is exclusive with lots of it.
-Content is excellent in quality.
-Fast download speeds
-All photosets available for download in ZIP files
Cons:
-Hardcore content was rather limited
-Videos are only available for download in clips
-Some of the content seemed a little more on the professional side
-No network with the other ATK sites
Bottom Line:
It took me a while to figure out what I wanted to say about ATK Premium. The truth is, I thought it was good site, better than average, but not "Very Good". The quality of pics, wide variety of beautiful women, set up of the site, all of this was great. I just wasn just a little let down by the site.
More than anything, I guess, this is a "buyer beware" sort of thing, especially if you're like me and watched the preview video for ATK Premium, which left me expecting more but not getting it. For example, they say they have "Group Sex". They did, but only a handful of picture sets and videos had more than two people involved.
The videos themselves seemed to be heavy on the "behind the scenes" or interviews of the models, some of whom could not even speak enough English to make those worthwhile. And if you're looking for hardcore, it's hit or miss here. A lot, if not most, of the models did not do any hardcore. Most did lesbian stuff, at least, which is okay, but if you want a lot of good guy/girl action, like I said hit or miss.
Potential members should also know that a fair amount of the hardcore photo sets did not even finish with a money shot of any kind. Amateur or not, the money shot is a necessity, I feel.
As photography based sites go this is one of the best I've seen, however. Like I said, it's some good quality stuff, lots of it, and it's pretty easy to navigate through everything. From that standpoint I recommend it. Just don't join with any expectations.

Pros:
- Tons of content.
- True to the hairy niche. But see BL.
- Zips, but see cons.
- A few, but limited, video DL options.
- Good search function as with all ATK sites.
- Soft and hardcore content separated. This is an excellent advantage if, like me, you are sick of toys and/or masturbation stuff.
- Models run the gamut from 18 to nearly elderly, and from gorgeous to homely.
- Newer vids are offered in one big chunk rather than the standard 3 minute slices.
- Pics can be viewed in a variety of sizes. This is good for people with slow connections.
Cons:
- Zipped sets broken into several bits. This is too much silliness and simply not worth the trouble.
- Pic size, on newer sets, seems to be app. 1000x1500 max. ATK has lagged in this area for a few years and it makes me wonder why.
- I would like to enable plain image links and have this work throughout my entire session without having to select that option for each set. This is an annoyance.
Bottom Line:
I'm a huge fan of ATK and have been at the hairy site about four times, even though I'm not really into hair. As with all of this company's sites there is a spectacular amount of content on offer, and enlisting a long list of photographers keeps the material from devolving into a boring sameness which is the bane of a lot of other sites.
I have no problem with the "natural" niche at all, but this site borders on fetishism, as some of these models are so hairy they look simply preposterous. This being said they do keep the "scary hairy" models in a separate section.
I think the quality of the material needs to match the quantity of it at this point, but this is not happening.
The newest vid I downloaded (4/08) is 640x480, 1048 Kbps. It looks fine but not nearly as good as a great many other sites which are moving into HD. Some of the vids show higher bit rates - often significantly higher - but when played there is no significant increase in clarity or quality. I can't play the Quicktime vids (for some reason) but the file sizes for those are only a few megs larger than the WMV files, so I somehow doubt that the quality is much better.
As for pics, 1000x1500 is a good-sized pic but many sites are going much larger. The main strength here is the variety of photographers. Alexander B's material alone would be worth the price of admission. His sets are just stunning sometimes, even if the models aren't.
Recommended, but the quality could (should) be improved.
Was a member approx. 2 months prior to this review.
Pros:
- A lot of content up, both pics and vids.
- Zips.
- Very attractive models for the most part.
- Good navigation, categorization (solo/artistic/etc..), search function, ala ATK style.
Cons:
- ATK has always had a somewhat confusing way of organizing the vid section, and this site is no exception.
- Emphasis is decidedly on the glamourous/artsy side of things which makes the 'A' in ATK kind of non-applicable here.
- Pic size decent (avg 1000 X 1500) but still not where it should be for a "Premium" site.
- Vids look decent (avg 640 X 480, 1200-2000+ kbps) but not as good as they should for a "Premium" site.
Bottom Line:
I've been to all of ATK's sites and Premium most recently. If I had to live with only one of their sites to the exclusion of all the others, Premium would be my last choice. Why is this?
Well, what we like and don't like is a subjective thing. Two things that were always appealing about ATK were Amateurs and/or Teens, which is what the 'A' and the 'T' in 'ATK' abbreviate. At Premium, the models are hardly amateurs, and despite whatever their average age might be, there is an atmosphere of maturity present which steers quite clear of "teeny-ness" in most of its usual guises. Not that this is a problem necessarily, but it does seem like a bit of a turning away from the original mission of this company.
The impression I get is that this is ATK's contribution to the genre of classy, artsy nudes made popular by sites like Met Art and Hegre's. The women are beautiful and the settings equally so. For me this makes for a certain sterility as far as the libido is concerned, which impacts ninety-five percent of why I purchase subscriptions to these kinds of websites.
While I like the more intimate aspect of some of the videos, I found a few which seemed to show nothing but a model getting her make-up applied or her hair done. I suppose some might like this (and I wouldn't mind at all for a minute or so), but it was too tedious for me. On a positive note, some of the lesbian scenes were among the best I've seen.

Pros:
- The largest collection of a combination of races which include Latinas, Afrocarrabian, Asian, East Indian, Native Indian and Islanders all in one website.
- Around 800 plus models.
- Picture resolution 1500x past 18 months.
- Updates 7 days a week 5-7 photosets daily and 4-5 video updates in WMV and Quicktime format on Sundays. This is why so much content is up.
- Updates since around 2001-02.
- Mixture of variety of content which include mainly solo explicite posing, few lesbian, BG and varied locations.
- Naturual photos. No touch ups.
Cons:
- Models can vary from very good looking to below average.
- Picture quality before 2006 not the best. Older picture dating back to 2001-02 below average quality and a lot taken from pictures released between 1997- 2001 from the sister website amkingdom.
- Quality of pictures vary between different photographers.
- Mainly a picture site not all videos worth downloading and no HD videos. Videos split into parts sometimes have to wait a week or two to get the complete series.
- Sometimes same models are put into different race catagories like one photoset in Latina and another in East Indian, shows that site is not consistant in revealing the model's actual race.
- A little expensive at $30. Multimonthly offers not the best.
Bottom Line:
If you are looking for a variety of ethnic races all in one website with huge archive and consistant daily updates then this is for you. Very little to complain about.
I always keep coming back every 2-3 months after cancelling. If only they had better mutimonthly offers I might have been a permanent member for years.

Pros:
Wide selection of hairy models
Generally good search facilities
Range of good quality videos and photosets
Generally high level of model biography stats
Big site
Cons:
Cannot search for specifics like 'anal' or 'clitoris'
Videos are a bit samey - much hand-pussy play and dildo pussy play - little else
Heavy percentage of pics devoted to strip and showering (which may be an advantage to some!)
Some older videos disturbed by still flash photography
Bottom Line:
Good site for hairy models, good quality, well organised and indexed but with irritating omissions in search and content
Recent initiative has allowed 3 day access to other ATK sites (like Galleria) for minimal sum rather than full month payment

Pros:
# a sampler site that offers the young amateur, some milf's, and exotic international models in one site.
#enter the above model types into the same atk- style quality photoshoots
#Consistency: I've been a member three times without regret
#1024 X 1536 sized photos
#800,000 images; 1,300 models, and 4,000 images a week.
# Muff lover site; puffy muff hair really makes some of these shoots beautiful
# young and hairy section had great looking models; true 18-21 year olds- no posers
# Get great shoots with upskirt; lingerie tease, all shoots ending with "in your face" style hardcore.
#this site is milf, exotic, hairy, young, lesbian site in one-- great for those wanting to experiment without commiting $29 for one genre.
# I saved some of these shoots on my hardrive for later; and that always a sign that i'll join again sometime.--this site is on my rotation.
# This site does prove to me that older women can be beautiful and erotic.
Cons:
#Because this site offers the milf's; if a perfect looking body is your standard, then a quarter of this site won't appeal to you.
# scary hairy section will test you. Attractive models will have hairy legs in a few of the shoots.
#Wives and Girlfriends section did not appeal
#vids are shot in one piece- not segments
#Because this site is a sampler site; there's no mastery or embellishment of one genre.
Bottom Line:
#This is a sampler site; its like the entree at the restaurant. The eggs are not put in one basket. If one section doesn't appeal; there's still plenty to justify the price.
#If there is a site that could get you hooked on milf's this is the site. If you still don't like milfs after this site then you are likely never going to like them, because this site offers the best collection of milfs that I've seen.
#The same goes for those who want to sample exotics: indian, latino, international. without having to join an exotic only site to find out and still have the young amateurs with hot bodies good enough to strut their stuff on campus.
#site layout contains: Scary Hairy; women with hair that exceeds the bikini line; Young and Hairy: atk like models with hair; Mature and Hairy; Exotic and Hairy; Hairy Fun: masterbation; Hairy Lesbians, Hairy movies, and Wives and Girlfriends

Pros:
PLENTY OF DIFFERENT SIZE WOMEN. ALL ACROSS THE BOARD.
CAN DOWNLOAD FILES AND VIDEOS.
LOTS OF REAL LOOKING WOMEN - NOT TOUCHED UP.
Cons:
CAN DOWNLOAD PICS AND VIDEOS BUT THEY R BROKEN UP . SO IN OTHER WORDS U CANT DOWNLOAD THE WHOLE MOVIE AT ONCE BUT IN SECTIONS. WEIRD.
LIKE TO PUT OLD PICS AND SAY THEY R NEW(CLASSIC).
Bottom Line:
IF U INTO VARIOUS ETHNIC( MORE SO) WOMEN AND VARIOUS SIZES . THIS IS A GREAT SITE. I KEEP CANCELING MY MEMBERSHIP BUT FOR SOME REASON I ALWAYS COME BACK. I THINK ITS A LITTLE PRICEY FOR JUST MAINLY PICTURES BUT THE WOMEN R USUALLY JUST FOUND HERE AND NOWHERE ELSE. I LOVE THIS SITE A LOT BETTER THAN ATK GALLERIA AND THE OTHER ONE TO EURO. I LIKE MY VARIETY.

Pros:
Large selection of attractive, hirsute models.
Large selection of high-quality picture sets. Updated faithfully. Easy to navigate.
Cons:
Many of the videos are of inferior quality. Some of the video graphers conduct awkward, painful to listen to, conversations with the models, in order to put them at ease, I suppose? In any case, they achieve the opposite effect in viewer and in model alike. There is also one photographer (SeanR) who uses a bit too much make-up on the various models, making them look like painted dolls rather than the attractive women they could be.
Bottom Line:
A great site for hair lovers. Highly recommended even though my cons took up a lot of space.
Follow-Up:
The sets by SeanR have become far better with less make-up and better flesh tones.

Pros:
A site that recognizes that beautiful amateurs can be found in an older age bracket. Gives a choice to pick models by category. Lots of mature models.
Cons:
Picture quality is very uneven. Some of the newer sets aren't bad, some of the older ones I don't bother downloading because they are too small and greyish. An effort is being made by AJ to upgrade old sets but after they do this they aggravatingly remove them from their main site and put them into an AJ Archive that requires an additional subscription fee. Movie quality is horrible almost throughout. Haven't come across a decent one in the three weeks I've been subscribing to the site.
Bottom Line:
Some nice, mature amateurs, but you can download the ones that truly appeal to your personal taste in a matter of days. Movies are not worth downloading because the site got stuck in the '90's when it comes to quality. Way overpriced for what you get. Updates are regular but too infrequent. I won't resubscribe.

Pros:
+vast and growing collection
+models not seen at other sites; some are very attractive
+updates every day except Sunday
+most photosets from Jan. 2007 on are 1536px
+excellent variety of search and browse capabilities
Cons:
-overall quality not as good as ATK Galleria or ATK Premium
-gallery zips broken down by the page; 7 pages in a gallery? SEVEN annoying little zips in a row.
-too many categories: 12 for softcore; 9 for hardcore. Can ignore by using the search engine to get all photo or video content thumbs for a specific day or a whole month.
-plain and unattractive site design and color scheme
-in “latest updates,” thumbs are only of the current day’s updates; the rest are text only
Bottom Line:
“ATK” puts out sites of varying types and quality. Here’s a comparison of ATK Exotics with what I think is the best of them, ATK Galleria (AG).
1. On photo quality, AG is a lot better overall. From Jan. this year, their pics have almost always been 1536px in size; Exotics started doing 1536’s about the same time, but not as consistently. Of the 193 photo galleries in Aug. ’07, most were at 1536, but 24 were smaller, usually in their “Best of” category (?) with unbalanced color and a cheap, grainy look like stuff from the late 90’s. But even the large ones in Exotics suffer more often from poor lighting and/or color control; some of the dark women would look just fine in better hands.
2. AG has more photo updates; 362 in Aug. ’07, for instance.
3. The women at AG are generally more attractive. You might wonder if I’ve got a racial preference, but no, attractive is attractive, no matter what the style or the wrapping is. And one of the draws of this site are the women “of color” that you don’t see on the other ones. Some of ‘em are HOT, but some are NOT lookers at all! It’s kinda gross.
The “babe” continuum is like this: ATK Premium/Galleria (close to a tie) – Exotics – Natural and Hairy (and fat ‘n ugly!). (“Archives” I haven’t been to in years, so I can’t comment.)
In sum, a 90-day term with Galleria is satisfying, but with Exotics, it’s once every 6-8 months, with the understanding that a fair amount of the newer content will be skipped over.

Pros:
- As with all ATK sites, tons of material on here. Gives a sometimes needed turn of the nose to the blondes.
- Pics are not high resolution which also is normal for ATK sites, but they are downloadable in zips, and very clear.
- The movies are pretty good, but they do have faults, the overall quality is nice though 600+x near 500, good bitrate also.
- There are literally dozens of models, I've never seen
- Download speeds are slightly above average
Cons:
- Videos are in parts just like ATK Galleria.
- ATK sites come off as being done by formula, if you've been a member on Galleria, you know exactly what Exotics looks like and how it works.
- This is sort of one that I may just have. I don't know a lot of these models by name. I'm more into Euro models usually, so I spend a lot of time just scanning the thumbnails
- I think like Galleria that the price is too high considering the piece together video clips.
Bottom Line:
I always feel strange reviewing an ATK site. Great quanity, well above average quality, steep price since most of what you are getting are photos, but there is something that always keeps me coming back to them.
This is hard to believe, my first time being on ATK Exotics, I had looked at the preview and like with many things in porn, we each have our own definitions of what is something and what isn't. Like with what is hardcore. Or in this case, what equals an exotic.
I've never been a huge fan of Asian women, no offense, I just don't usually go for slim women. The black and Latina models on ATK Exotics are very good, plenty of curves, but not too many. The pic quality is good, really the "quality" is good, meaning clear pictures that show what we porn fans are wanting to see. Resolution leaves a little to be desired, videos have good enough resolution, but they are cut into parts. So nothing is really outstanding, but nothing is that bad either.
What you do get with ATK Exotics is a whole new porn experience from the normal site. You won't find any surfer girls from California, or any real pale models that look hungry. You get the other side of modeling here. The Latinas, the black girls who if you are into black girls, ATK Exotics has you covered! There are some very pretty black models on this site.
I definitely recommend it for a month if you are into non-blondes. I just think ATK should change the name to ATK Ethnics instead, but that is just me!
