i wanted something different so i thought id give this site a try. i joined mainly for the pix, and there are a lot! i started from the oldest where the pix were under 2 mp. unfortunately it seemed they didnt increase the size til 3/4 way thru the content. there are some great treasures in there, i found a fav of mine; Wenona! however, there are a lot of ugly women in there too. also as i said above, the model repetition was annoying. i know this is normal, but it seemed too often. after a while i even was skipping the hottest models
the video section was confusing, a lot of the videos low quality, models seemed bored. there were a few with interviews that were fun tho. also the newest videos listed as HD only download as 960x540, which is disappointing
beyond all my complaints, i joined for the pix and got my $$$s worth. however this is no abby winters quality pix and vids (even tho they seem to be straying for hair) |

Reason: Who knew I could become this disinterested in naked chicks? Whatever kind of help this site needs, my money definitely can't provide. Avoid for now.
|
| Pros: |
- Well organized, easy to navigate
- Massive amounts of content collected over many years
- Wide selection of females, many of which are harder to find on other porn sites
- Wide selection of photographers
- ZIP downloadable image sets
- New, customizable layout |
| Cons: |
- Some girls may be too hairy for some
- Lately the hottie-to-bland ratio has gone downhill |
| Bottom Line: |
O.K. I've been frequenting this site regularly since 2004 or so, soon after discovering ATK Galleria. I'd say for every 2 months spent at ATK Galleria, I spend one at Natural and Hairy, just to see what's new while letting new sets accumulate at Galleria.
This site is definitely worth joining: there are some serious hotties there, many "bookstore"-type chicks without getting into cartoon makeup territory. I recommend this site way, way, way above Suicide Girls. They're new layout is incredibe, btw.
However, as a longtime fan, I must agree with the recent reviews here - it's in a mild slump. Some of these new girls can be rather uninspiring. I don't care if she has hair - she still needs to be cute and NATURAL. I have pretty chill tastes concerning women (I don't mind tattoos, I LOVE short hair, etc), but freaky doesn't always mean better. Let me add, a lot of people here love the photographer Sean R. I like him, but I prefer BMB, Afterglow, and Atomic W. Sean R gets cuties, but shoots too many contorted crotch shots for my taste.
In summary - I always come back to this site and stock up on the new cuties that don't look like dive bar sailors. I'm usually bored by the time my subscription expires though, at which point I rejoin ATK Galleria and rejoice at the abundance of NATURAL beauty! Call me old-fashioned... |

| Pros: |
A huge number of "hairy" models, most of them very good looking.
Large daily updates, usually consisting of eight picture sets and two videos.
Immensely improved lay-out. Very pleasing to the eye as well as easy to navigate.
The ability to leave comments on each set, video or model has been added. It is good to be able to voice one's preferences or dislikes.
Pictures since the beginning of 2011 are available in a super large format of 3000px.
Videos are very nice and crisp at 1280x720p.
Good download speeds for me. |
| Cons: |
Site has become more extreme, even though ATK owner would probably disagree with my assessment, but the emphasis appears to be more and more on a general fetish for hair rather than on beautiful young, un-enhanced girls who chose to keep their pubic hair. In the past SeanR, as one example, would offer up a hairy leg set now and then but now they are everywhere. |
| Bottom Line: |
This is a site in transition because, judging by members' comments and ratings, the membership has shifted dramatically from those who just weren't keen on the shaved look to those who almost worship hair itself: hairy legs, arm hair, pit hair, anal hair etc. They interpret "natural" to mean just that, a body that has never been touched by a razor.
This transition is also confirmed by ATK owner's own remarks, who wrote in connection with some complaints about models being too shaved except for the bush: "We did approach R....e about growing out her armpit and leg hair and she told us the timing was not right for her to do that right now. So possibly later."
I have a black eye and bleeding nose from making some unwelcome noises in the comments section over this change.
The latest one was in connection with my musing as to what a girl (with extremely hairy legs) was doing wearing men's cotton briefs? She appears to be a heavy favorite of many and I was brutally slain by one member for being so audacious as to make this blasphemous remark.
I must stress that this made absolutely no difference when it came to the rating of this site because, as the ATK owner himself pointed out, tolerance is requested in connection with everyone's tastes and who am I to be the arbiter of what's erotic and what isn't.
What does make a difference to me, though, is that so many sets are extremely bland with little imagination shown by the photographer.
The average model basically wears top and skirt with a pair of panties or top and jeans with or without a pair of panties, pretty painful for someone who likes the tease factor and does not like to see a model revealing her all right from the first page.
However there is such a fierce loyalty to the models shown by the hair fetishists that even dull sets are rated highly because of the extreme hair factor.
I have changed my mind about the previous low score I gave this site because it was based on my personal preferences.
This time around I am giving it a higher score by rating it as a TRUE FETISH site that will easily please all those who have a taste for extreme hair.
So I highly recommend it to this growing group of hair lovers, especially in light of the pros. The new lay-out is really nice, clean, impressive. I also like the ability to comment even though I am still nursing my wounds. |

| 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: |
Huge amount of content. Image resolution is now 2000x3000 since early 2011. Images prior to 2007
were at 1024x712 max and after Jan 2007 1024x1546 was the max resolution offered. The video resolution has also improved. They are now offered in 4 formats: stream, HD mp4, SD mp4 and wmv. There are 174 movie galleries as of this writing, with an average of 10 movies per gallery. However, most of the galleries are not at the highest resolution listed above, but are offered in mov or wmv format at 720x480 resolution. |
| Cons: |
Many.
1) The site is now plagued with speed problems. They consolidated all sites in one server and as a result, there is a 5-10 seconds delay for images to load on the browser after the thumbnails are clicked. They added extra security (each image now has a key identifier, which changes with customer session). As a result the navigation experience is sluggish and at times frustrating. Request to change go unheard and for the most part they don;t seem to care.
2) The models as of late are a major disappointment. Most sets are boring, girls are not even that attractive (for the most part) or hairy and the quality of the images (even-though they offer them now at 2000x3000) are not well color balanced, i.e there is no quality control here. Just sheer volume of more and more boring stuff. Karupspc and karupsha has about the same type of content but with hotter looking models.
3) there is less of a difference between amkingdom and atkhairy when it comes to models and content as of late |
| Bottom Line: |
The ATK Kingdom sites went through a major redesign for --most would agree, the worse for this one. If you have never been a member, ATKHAIRY for the price and content volume is a very good deal. If you have been a member before, say last year, don't bother re-subscribing. ATK really needs to rethink what it is they want to offer in terms of quality and a content which is true to the amateur and hairy niche they were known for in the past. Perhaps they should abandon the 8 updates per day, be more discriminating and at least offer much better quality and truly hairy amateur content. The site is neither amateur nor hairy anymore and there is very little difference between AMKINGDOM and ATKHAIRY content these days. I leave you with this statistic: in 2010 they posted 1600 sets of unshaved models in their "scary" (what a terrible and misleading label) category, of which only 14 or so models (FOURTEEN) could be judged as truly natural and hairy. That is not much content for a site that caters to amateur and hairy lovers. |

*Newbie reviews and ratings don't count toward a site's overall score/rank until the user reaches the Rookie status level (5 points). This rule is needed to help prevent fake (or heavily biased) profiles and reviews.
