Pros:
Nice size collection, lots of models
HD looks good, most vids are good quality
Frequent updates
Cons:
Models lack variety. I didn't know there was that many blondes in the world. There is a noticeable lack of ethnic diversity.
Older video lack same quality as more recent ones.
Navigation is suspect, very few options
Bottom Line:
Lots of content, but most of the vids really lack direction. The girls seem uninterested and kind of just go through the motions. Hardcore scenes are very vanilla. Same positions, no attempt at chemistry, and camera work could be better. There are many better sites in the genre. I'd recommend any ATK sites, or Brand New Faces first, and a few others that may lack the quantity, but make up for it with originality and quality of models, if not video.

Pros:
Photograph and video that took a lot of amateur girls.
There are lovely girls of various races there.
There are slim girls, a little plump girls, and various girls.
It is easy to use the retrieval function.
Cons:
Some actors are not passionate.
There are girls with the breast of the imitation though it is a little.
Bottom Line:
I read the review to which BabyGetReal whom I held in high esteem had written this site.
And, I contracted the member of three months of this site at once.
I thought that I had done a good selection.
In this site, there are a lot of healthy, lovely girls.
I love sites where girls in Russia and Europe exist. However, many of girls there are too thin.
There are a lot of amateur girls with healthy body of this site, and it is very good.
Sativa is very wonderful though BabyGetReal also is writing in the review.
It is the highest one in all movies that I downloaded.
The photograph of Elle, Autumn, Cameron, and Jacey, etc. is very good. However, the small size because of the movie it a little before is regrettable.
I like past works a little better than latest movie on this site. Two actors who frequently perform to a recent movie do not like it. It is a hair thin, fat man, and it is a thin middle-aged man. I think that appointing a passionate, a little more young actor is good the person. I think that it is good also for girls.
Please forgive writing my subjectivity a little.
The movie on this site has B/G, G/G, and the masturbation.
I can enjoy the B/G movie, and am satisfied.
If, if it likes masturbation movie, you will be able to enjoy this site more.
The G/G movie is not especially recommended.

Pros:
- All the girls are young and beautiful.
- No breast implants!
- No anal!
- The guys are usually gentle and considerate with the girls, unlike e.g. YoungModels where they are fast, hard, and rough.
- Video .wmv files are named systematically, with the actress' name, unlike some sites where the filename is a meaningless number.
- Nearly all videos are well lit. But see cons!
- All the guys manage to stay hard (or the limp parts are edited out). Here, you'll never have to watch long scenes of an actress sucking on a limp dick to no avail.
Cons:
- Bad support? I emailed pointing one failure of their search engine and suggesting remastering some great early vids at higher resolution, and never received a reply.
- No descriptions, no ratings, no "most viewed" -- you're on your own with >500 videos.
- Same few stunt cocks in nearly all videos. They seem mechanical and bored. Often they skip any oral on the girl, and they are rarely heard to complement the girl on her looks or sexiness or to be romantic or intimate. Their demeanor does not bring out the most erotic side of the girls. It takes a girl who is incredibly horny or really loves sex or has a special personality to shine under these circumstances -- most don't.
- Uninspired directing. Most scenes follow the same boring mechanical sequence in a bedroom.
- Most scenes end in a ridiculous facial, usually after the guy jacks himself for quite some time. How NOT sexy is it to hear Jimmy say "open your mouth, NOW!"? Give me a break!
OUT OF ROOM HERE. REST IN A "REPLY".
Bottom Line:
Very recent files are HD, recent files are medium resolution (640 x 480), and older files are low resolution (360 x 240). However, at full screen I couldn't see much difference between the medium and low resolution -- so I suspect the medium is empty magnification of the low. WMV is the only available format. No problem -- with free Flip4Mac I played them all in Quicktime on OS X. All videos are divided into four scenes of about 7 minutes each. The inability to download a whole video as one file is annoying.
There are tons of still photos. The resolution is OK but not great (700 x 1000 to 1000 x 1500 pixels; file sizes 200 - 600 kilobytes).
The vast majority of the scenes are without condoms. To me, this is very unfortunate, since Jimmy, the guy in 80% of the scenes, has now fucked hundreds of young women without a condom. I gather that market forces demand this (or porn companies think they do?), but how many young people have to get HIV before this stops? On the pro side, in the occasional scenes where a condom is used, they don't try to hide it, occasionally even showing it being rolled on by the girl -- definitely a pro in my book.
Well, I took one for the team and sifted through all 300-some boy/girl videos looking for the occasional gem. Here are my favorites. You can search by the first name of the actress to find these. These are the full filenames, except for the a/b/c/d that divide each video into 4 scenes.
There are some very early, lo-res scenes with what might be real couples (real amateurs?!) that are the hottest on the site, to my taste (see my profile). Of course I prefer crisp videos where you can see the body down, but real intimacy, arousal, and chemistry trump resolution any day in my book. (It would be great if KarupsHA would see fit to re-release these early hot vids in higher resolution!) Examples:
sativa-bg-1: She is incredibly naturally sexy. He and she interact naturally, with affection and intimacy. The KarupsHA camerapeople and stunt cocks could learn from this one. No jerky camera work. No rushing from position to position - sex is fun, not a race. No closeups that hide the beautiful people.
kat170-bg-1 is another great early low-res video. Nice foreplay, real passion, lots of kissing, real intimacy and caring. I thought this one could hold up to comparison with the better boy-girl videos at LittleMutt (except for its poor resolution).
evita-bg012 and evita-bg039 are very hot! Needs remastering at higher res.
Turning to more recent scenes that are medium resolution with the stunt cocks:
Valerie is one of the most amazing and erotic pro-am women I've seen (both here and on Nubiles, same name) because she is really horny, completely natural, and cums intensely over and over. She says she needs sex 14 times/week, but is getting it only 3-4 times/week from her boyfriend (valerie-bg-6). In valerie225-bg-2, ... OUT OF ROOM HERE, WILL TRY TO PUT REMAINDER IN A "REPLY".

Pros:
- OVERWHELMING amount of content
- Easy navigation, detailed advanced search
- Incredible download speed (at 1.2Mbytes/sec, it probably maxed out my internet connection)
- LOTs of girls (sorry I didn't count them :-), several hundreds at least but could be close to a 1000 (?) )
- I found a big percentage of girls to be very attractive - young, beautiful and no fake tits
- Seems to be 100% exclusive
- Regular updates
- Rating system - cool!
- In general very nice photo quality
Cons:
- Not too much HC stuff (OK, you still get a lot, but not comparable to the amount of softcore content)
- LOT more photosets than videos
- Lots of videos without the option to download the whole movie in one
- Overall not very satisfying video quality
- No way to change your password (?)
Bottom Line:
Alright, so I was just about to subscribe to Karup's PC, when I saw an offer to subscribe to Karup's HA as well. Knowing their reputation (thanks to PU.com ;-) ), and that I really like amateurs, I immediately switched to Karup's HA instead. The price - $30 a month - might be a little bit pricey for some, but nowadays it seems to be a standard, so I won't mention it in a negative light. Especially, that you get a s****t load of content for your money! Download speed is amazing, day or night, it always maxed out my internet connection's capabilities.
I like the design and the structure, easy and fast. You have a model directory where you can see all the available sets and movies with the model; but please, names like "Charlie 2" aren't very 'human'. :-) You get an 'advanced search' function, where you can search by many different things, such as name, photo or video or both, action type, breast size, clothing, fetish, etc. Although it gave me results for 'anal movie' that didn't have any anal in them, but other than this it seemed to work effectively. I found the rating system to be very useful, and also the sections called 'top models' and 'top rated sets'.
As for the content, other than the fact that it's a lot :-), photo quality was up to my satisfaction, in one set you usually get around 110 - 160 pictures, but it might vary. Highest resolution is 1000x1500, which is okay but could be bigger. They're separated in 6 different categories, and lots of the updates are images. Meaning, if you're a 'picture person', you'll love it here. On the other hand video quality is rather poor. There's only one wmv format you can download them in, highest resolution I saw was 640x480, but that's not even my main problem: the picture just isn't sharp, sometimes the lighting seems 'messed up' (too light, too dark), I saw some 'angles' in videos that made me wanna flip my monitor 90 degrees to get it right, audio quality varies, sometimes it's good but sometimes it's just horrible, there were some videos where I saw filming equipment in the background, etc. I personally don't mind the 'chat' at the beginnings. Video length varies from ~9mins to ~25, depending on its kind. Most of them are softcores though. And this is the case with photos and videos too: this site emphasizes softcore material. Also, the main focus is on photos, not really on the movies.
Conclusion: I'd like to see way more hardcore sex, and way more videos in a way better quality. I like (softcore) pictures too for their beauty, but I'm mainly a 'movie lover'. I'd LOVE to see a website like this with the above mentioned focuses. Still, you get lots of nice girls, nice photosets and softcore actions that you can access real fast. Overall it's a great site - but not for the ones like me.
Was a member approx. 4 months prior to this review.
Pros:
+ Huge amount of content
+ Some realistic sex/masturbation scenes in some of the movies.
+ Site broken up into categories to make for easy browsing
+ Frequent updates (5 per week)
Cons:
- Some lower quality vids when you start getting to the older content
- Some movies only available as segments -- no full version available
- Seems to be a lot of so-so girls you need to browse through to pick out the gems
- Too much soft core (for me)
- Site design a little clunky
Bottom Line:
Karup's Hometown Amateurs is a lot like the Batman movies to me. They never live up to all the hype!
Don't get me wrong, Hometown Amateurs is a good site. There is an insane amount of content so there is something for everybody. The video quality is decent and there are some attractive women and good sex scenes on the site.
On the flip side KHA could use a little work on the navigation so the users can find the movies/girls that are to their liking easier. The video options are also leave more to be desired.
This is a personal preference but I do prefer more hardcore sex on a site. If you're a softcore/amateur guy that won't be a problem!
+STKPC, lots of models
+STKPC, pornstar directory with headshots
+STKPC, excellent download speeds
+STKPC, tons of image sets, all linked on the girl's page with ZIP downloads available
+STKPC, 100% exclusive content
+STKPC, site search with advanced controls
+STKPC, newer hardcore updates have both split and full scene downloads (last 1.5 years), however only recently (like, YESTERDAY) did they start in the softcore section.
+UKPC, KarupsHA features more american models, which is better if you enjoy listening to girls talk in videos, or if you like finding girls you have seen on sites like VideoBox.
Cons:
+STKPC, girls have no last names, rather have numbers "Sarah 1", "Sarah 2", etc.
+STKPC, very old sets do not offer full scene downloads, only split scene
+STPKC, there are watermarks on all content, and all videos have 10 second intro material which shows the legal stuff and an "KarupsHA" logo.
+STKPC, no real bonus material
+STKPC, poor update schedule. 455 (video) updates in last 365 days, equates to ~1.3 updates per day, worse than KPC.
+STKPC, softcore content makes up brunt of updates. Last 386 (video) updates of last 455 were softcore (which is ~84.8%).
+STKPC, videos only available in WMV.
Bottom Line:
Overall, there is nothing really different between KarupsHA than KarupsPC in terms of technical aspects. Back in the day, yes, there was a distinct difference. KarupsPC was created in 1997 (according to Whois info), while KarupsHA was created in 2001 (again, according to Whois info), so they put more focus on KarupsPC, as it was the household name in the Karups network, at least until KarupsHA gained steam. More updates were given to KarupsPC, better quality, better layout, better organization, etc. But now that they have devoted more effort to KarupsHA you really can not tell the difference between the sites:
-They look the same - you login to both members area and the only major difference is the girls who are plastered around the page (I would love to know who the girls are).
-The videos are the same, same nomenclature, same watermark location, same intro crap, etc.
-The girl naming scheme is the same ("Sarah 1", "Sarah 2", etc.)
-The quality is the same
-The organization is the same (softcore vs hardcore, videos split by type, e.g. toys, ethnic, athletic, etc.)
-The pornstar directory is the same
-etc. etc. etc.
So what is the difference? The difference is the focus. KarupsPC has focus on girls who are from Eastern Europe / Western Russia with a few American girls sprinkled in (they girls are there, just not named with proper names) while KarupsHA focuses more on girls from North America with a few European/Russian girls sprinkled in (again, they are there, just hard to find). So its all about your particular taste: European girls who speak broken English and look you in the eye like they really want you, and are ready for action, or American girls who speak perfect English and look at this as another job. My choice is KarupsHA because there are more girls on the site that I am looking for (I can name at least 5 off the top of my head right now) where as KarupsPC, not so much.
Again, in short, KarupsPC = KarupsHA, except PC focuses more on European/Russian girls while HA focuses more on American girls.
Only reason I gave KarupsHA an 87 while KarupsPC an 85 while being the same site is because I prefer American girls over European/Russian girls.
On another note, I would really prefer if these sites were part of a network where you buy one and get access to the other :P. The fact that they are essentially the same sites with different girls would make such a decision a no-briner.
Current Member for over 1 month (at the time of review).
Pros:
- Huge amount of content, both pics and vids.
- Zips for photosets.
- Search engine
- Model rating system, plus section for highest rated models and sets.
- Pics viewable in two sizes.
- Hard and softcore content separated.
- Several updates per week.
- Navigation is good.
Cons:
- High-res pics offered but at 1500x1000 they are still a tad behind some high-end sites.
- Most softcore vids seem to begin with an interview/chat session, which is a negative for me. Would rather have interview sessions separate. This is a minor nit, of course.
Bottom Line:
Karups HA is undoubtedly one of the best sites going, with amount of content vying with just about anyone at this point. To give you an idea of how much material there is here: in the softcore video section alone there are twenty-four vids per page, and there are seventy-one pages. The photo sections are just as impressive.
That aside, the site has all the bells & whistles one might expect at a premium site, which I listed in the cons. The drawing point for me is the photo archive. Though I could be wrong, it looks to me like a few well-known photographers had sets here in the old days: Toby from ATK, and Donovan Philips from DonnysGirls, to name two. If I'm wrong on this I'd be very surprised.
The newest vid I downloaded is 640x480 and shows a bitrate of 2683k. Newest pics come in at 1500x1000, which is nice, but 1600x1200 would be even better. Once again, a minor nit.
This is one of a small handful of sites which I have stayed with for a second month. Even with a fast connection it would take a long time to collect it all, and then you'd be very busy indeed.
Anyone interested in adult media would be remiss not to sign up here at least once. I seriously doubt that many people would find it terribly disappointing.
Current Member for over 1 month (at the time of review).
Pros:
- Over 550,000 photos online
- Over 1000 different girls to choose from
- 400+ Harcore movies and 1600+ softcore movies
- New updates 5 times a week
- Almost all exclusive content - fresh
- Navigation easy plus model index and ratings
- Photos available in two sizes with zip files
- Download speed is very good
- Keeps the amateur feel
Cons:
- Movies available in only one size and format WMV
- Photos largest resolution is 1500x1000. Not bad but would like to see larger to meet new standards
- Hardcore selection is good but I would like to see more focus on it.
Bottom Line:
Karups Hometown Amateurs is a very good site and it seems they have worked hard to improve the navigation and listen to their members. They just announced based on feedback that updates will now contain both photos and movies instead of one or the other. A nice addition.
I wish they would join in and start offering a higher resolution photo size in the high 2000's or even 3000's like some of the other top flight sites are doing these days. Also for videos I would like to see the addition of a high quality flash video as well.
I got my membership for $25 through Paysite Discounts so the value is definitely very good considering the 5 updates a week with over 3000 new photos and about 7 new videos each week. You definitely have lots of different girls to choose from which is a bonus and why I like joining these kind of sites.
Current Member for over 1 month (at the time of review).
Pros:
- Huge collection good looking young women, around 1000 models many posing for first time.
- Updates past 15 months have good quality photos around 1500x900 resolution sharp pictures with no blurring.
- Photos have a natural feel to it with no forced expressions pictures exaggerating the shy and naughty nature of these models.
- Good range of variety of posing (some hardcore) and location in the photo shoots.
- Lots of candid videos of decent quality.
Cons:
- High resolution photos only from 2006. Quality of photos before 2005 not the best.
- More of a photo site. Lots of videos not worth downloading older videos not of good quality.
- A bit too expensive $29 monthly and no really good multimonthly offers.
Bottom Line:
When I was a member back in 2006 this site didn't appeal to me much as the quality of photos and videos were not in par with the times. They used to rely on quantity rather than quality.
The sites have changed for the better recently to such an extend that I feel it is one the best amateur sites in the web quality being even better than the age old similar website Atk galleria. You can make out that the managers of this website have recently become picky choosing very good looking girls and trying to get as many first timers as possible.
*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.
Any current/ past members had a problem with Karupsha's payment processor?
I've been checking out this site. The only thing is the payment processer EENT? Never heard of that one before. I usually go through ccbill. Any current members had a problem cancelling or logon through this processer?
The payment processor is a big deal if I don't recognise it. This issue alone can turn away members.
I'm mostly interested in girls using toys. It's a bit hard to tell from the preview if all the softcore movies are like that. Or are most of these movies just girls undressing and showing of their body? If so, what's the ratio?
Is there some sort of search feature or preview of the movies so you don't have to download them all to check what they contain?
Mmm, there is this very cute girl named Kayla on the site, with a pseudo-tattoo over her private area (its not an ink tattoo, it looks more like a super sun-burned in outline of a heart). Wish I knew where to find more content of her. KarupsHA is one of the few sites with hardcore b/g content of this girl.
I figured i'd make this a comment rather than edit my review, since I doubt anyone would notice that.
I'm going through the older pic archives and for many sets, probably more than a dozen so far, the first four or five pages are simply repeated, extending the set to eight or nine pages. Naturally this makes the zip-file larger and you wind up with a bunch of superfluous files.
Is this an accident or is it done intentionally? If it's accidental, might I suggest fixing it? If it's intentional, I'd ask what the purpose of it is?
I've avoided downloading certain zips I otherwise would have wanted because of this doubling-up issue.
I was browsing around and took a peek at the site. Clicked a girl's thumb and it took me to the join page. Whoops! But we know that's pretty common. My mistake (was hoping for an enlargement or more sample pics, like they do at ATK Galleria).
Clicked to close the window and ... a box came up offering an unspecified "last minute discount." At the same time, another box came up with lines showing up (being typed) from a "live agent," it said. I think someone was there, reaching out to help me.
I finally figured out how to escape with my virtual, window-shopping self.
Just wondering if there's any reliable research that shows this kind of approach works. Me, I'll just go in and rejoin some day. Devi looks like being part of the "rationale."
Seeing that the webmaster of this site seems so responsive I thought I'd ask the question here.
This is for the subscribers to the site: Are the sets a good mixture of "portrait" and "landscape" style or are they shot mostly in "portrait?"
This is for the webmaster: If they are mostly "portrait" is there any chance of getting the photographers to take more pictures in my favorite format. To me it's a joy to see the whole screen of my monitor taken up by picture. "Portrait" with today's pics takes either too much scrolling, or too much reducing.
I've had enough time to read the reviews, so I figured I'd give it a shot. I'm not gonna stay with the site for very long, as it is just too pricey for me. I've had no problem with the content... its just the price.
In this day of Amateur meaning porn star, does this site have any big name porn stars on it, where the content was filmed maybe early in their careers or is it 100% amateurs? I haven't been on a good amateur site in a long time.
