Pros:
Ah the days of the PC (private collection) sites
Nostalgia is high for those of us that remember the early 2000s porn
Two bonus sites included – Karups Older Women and Karups Hometown Amateurs
Currently updating
Navigation is user-friendly and covers all three sites
Almost always the cutest and prettiest models, until the next update
Cons:
Could be a downer to fans of more recent style of porn sites
With this many models it can be overwhelming
Bottom Line:
Karups, Karups PC, Karups Older Women and Karups Hometown Amateurs have been around for over 20 years. Which is great for those of us that started joining paysites back in the early 2000s, but it could be near culture shock for those more accustomed to the last ten years of porn sites.
Hardcore sex is not the primary action of these sites, but there is some. The sites like this one were originally based on the female model. And everything that entails. You got to know a little about the models even though their stories often changed! Maybe that was filler content, but even if so, it’s nostalgic. The young ladies talk a little about themselves. Are usually dressed as the scenes start and slowly start to tease by removing their clothes, most are very good at that part, but then you see the other side of them once naked. It’s not just the naked side you will see. Some become shyer, others become more bold, as if each layer of clothing removed brought out a new person. For me, this style of porn is the best, but I also can see how it’s not for everyone.
Pictures are also at a premium with high resolution pictures in zipped downloads. The nice thing about Karups now is you get Karups PC, Karups Hometown Amateurs and Karups Older Women for one price. These sites are each a legitimate standalone site. Strong enough for years to be sold separately. You will see a little bit of everything between the three sites, but the main focus will not change – it’s all about the female model being featured in each scene.
The videos are no slouches with up to 4K downloads and the usual HD formats as well.
One of the things worth mentioning is the models’ nationalities. Most of the older sites that were like Karups, featured European models, but the more recently featured Karups models are American. I see that as highly important since most American sites are hardcore. You don’t get to see most American models in softcore shoots focused on their attractiveness and personality. The rather humorous part is the old European sites with softcore models were often the only place you could see those European models and you had to wait around hoping one or more of them would go on to hardcore. With Karups, a lot of the known models are known from hardcore sites. That gives Karups PC a unique view of known American hardcore models. You might get to see one of your favorite hardcore models being more of a normal lady instead of being pounded relentlessly in 12 positions of hardcore sex.
It does give Karups a high value for collectors of porn. Especially if you collect specific models, you may very well stumble up on some softer core scenes of a model you collect hardcore porn of.
The navigation makes this an even more appealing package as the Karups sites flow seamlessly from one to the other. It’s my thinking that Karups perfected their combination of their sites into one before really pushing it out to consumers. I know for several years I rarely saw a mention of Karups, but now they’re back to being one of the most respected and recognizable brands in porn.
I have had an ongoing membership for the last 8 months and plan on continuing it. Great overall site that is functioning as a network built into one site.

Pros:
I was not for sure if it was worth a risk – but it was and I am very happy about it
You receive access to Karups PC, Karups Older Ladies and Karups Hometown Amateurs for one price
The models range from adorable teens to middle aged starlets
There are nearly 20,000 videos on the entire network. I believe all are exclusive
The network works swimmingly with a model list and search features
It’s a great network for those of us that still appreciate the female body
Cons:
It may appear old or outdated to some people
Some of those oldest videos are as bad of quality as you will see
Bottom Line:
Karups has been around for a long time. Most of the sites I group with Karups, haven’t fared well – with time. I wasn’t even going to join Karups just because I was sure it was going to be another letdown, but to my surprise and adulation, it’s how I remember Karups, with their sites combined into one network and has modern navigation.
This is not a modern network with 32 sites of variations of hardcore porn. It’s a network that focuses on three different types of female models. There is Karups PC, which has mostly professional porn models on it. Karups Hometown Amateurs is exactly what the name says it is. It’s an excellent source for amateur models you may not have ever seen in porn. Karup’s Older Women is Karup’s take on the MILF, Mature niche of porn.
The basic focus of each of these sites is the models. This is a modernized version of internet porn from 20 years ago. The reason I preferred that era of porn was the models didn’t just jump right into porn with a dual penetration scene. Models progressed as their careers ascended or descended. It was often a solo scene that started them in porn. You could watch the scene and try to figure out if you believed the model would soon end up in a dual penetration with two men or maybe never filming a scene with a man. There also was the outside chance, the model would never film another scene of any kind ever again.
Karups gives us that experience in 2024. Scan through the model list and spend hours, maybe days, trying to find your favorites and which ones you want to download.
The modernization of Karups is impressive. The videos are downloadable, unlimited and high quality. The photographs, once, the strong suit of Karups, are still very good and shouldn’t be looked over or missed.
The one thing I don’t want you to think is this is just like all the older sites that only featured solo and lesbian scenes. Karups does hardcore too and it’s not bad at all. It is a little more hardcore than other glam sites that are mixing in hardcore.
One thing I do remember most about Karups, back years ago, was the once high price. You had to join all three sites separately. You now get all three for $20 with a promo.
It’s a network worth trying and not being too surprised if you end up sticking around. The quality is a major player and the models make it all that much better.

Pros:
Massive gay porn site that excels at solo scenes.
Daily updates
Nearly 6,000 scenes and even more picture sets
Downloads are unlimited, and everything can be downloaded.
Fun and playful scenes which I think is different for gay porn.
Video downloads are 4K, HD and smaller mobile sizes
Cons:
Gay porn is becoming “gayer” and less friendly to us straight women.
Mostly young guy models
Bottom Line:
I slowed on my joining of gay male sites. It is the closest straight women have to pornography focused on the male anatomy, but as time goes on, the gayness of the genre has started taking away the ability to fantasize the guys are performing for me.
My cons are not cons for some people and I think even their major audience (gay men) would find as pros. The male models are generally young, fit and clean-shaven. I think there is a large group of gay men who love that niche and if you are one, this site does the twink, metrosexual look very well. The other con is how much gay porn is turning gayer. Little touches that I’m sure gay men love seeing are reminding me I’m a straight woman and not a gay man. Use of dildos is an example.
The review is intended to also promote the site to the gay man audience. There are high quality and unlimited downloads of videos and picture sets. The videos can be downloaded as high as 4K and offer small mobile resolutions as well.
There’s no real story to the scenes. It’s either solo and supposed to be like you’re a voyeur watching the guy masturbate or men having sex with each other. The solo scenes are good enough for me, but do wish they would reconsider the use of sex toys during masturbation. If a woman uses a strap-on dildo on a man, I like it. If a man is having anal sex with another man, I can at least fantasize I’m sneaking a peek of them having sex. If a man is sitting by himself and while rubbing his penis, turns on his side and shoves a 9 inch dildo up his butt, I really can’t fantasize I’m involved or interested in that at all.
The site does have daily updates and I believe does the gay porn genre as good as any site. The navigation is also great and it at least lets me separate the solo scenes from the hardcore ones.
There is a playful and fun side to some of the scenes and it’s worth mentioning. I have said many times before that gay porn is far behind straight porn. That is because gay porn, regularly, uses nothing to make it distinctive or original. Some of the scenes on Boy Fun use roles and titles to add some fun and even my first ever exposure to gay false incest porn. That does add a whole new dimension to gay porn since it’s stepbrothers and uncle by marriage as examples. Those scenes at least make sense to the viewer and likewise, it helps turn the genre into aimed solely at gay men. I would rate this site even higher if I didn’t feel out of place watching it, but I felt like this type of gay porn is off-limits for us women.

Pros:
- A very good value for fans of the earlier 2000s style of porn.
-- Includes Karups PC, Karups Hometown Amateurs and Karups Older Women all for one price. Those used to be $29.95 each.
- The combination of the three sites is massive and they update everyday.
- Can browse by all sites, by any of the three sites and can do this with videos, photos and model list. Complicated navigation but highly effective and intuitive once you get used to it.
- One of the few sites I see anymore that still uses CCBill as their biller.
- All videos over the last year have 4K option.
- The archives are still here. There are scenes here from 2001 including one that warmed my old heart of a very young Eve Angel and Sophie Moone.
- Major points for collectors of Euro and amateur models.
Cons:
- If they are remastering any of the old scenes I haven’t noticed. The oldest scenes are 360p.
- It’s overwhelming even for me. I know the majority of this content and was a member of Karups PC at least 10 times prior to 2012. I still find myself feeling like I’m drowning in content.
- The bottom line will go more into this, this is a traditional earlier 2000s studio and site even though they are still updating. It’s only a con if you’re not a fan of that era of porn. I am and enjoy the site because of it.
Bottom Line:
What’s an earlier 2000s porn site like? Karups PC was the big site for me. I didn’t get into the amateur models until 2013 or later. Karups like DDF’s old sites, like 21 Sextury’s old sites before they become a network featured almost exclusively solo, male/female and lesbian scenes. There’s no way I could go through the 17,000+ video scenes to see if there are threesomes or group sex but I haven’t seen any. It was a more focused era of porn where the action took a backseat, the storylines took a backseat and even the quality of performance took a backseat to the attractiveness of the female model. You could say it’s shallow in that regard. It never bothered me and still doesn’t. I’m paying money to look at naked and teasing women. I’m pretty sure that makes me a little shallow!
The numbers here are going to scare away newer potential members. There are over 17,000 videos, there are nearly 35,000 photo sets and close to 6,500 models. Separating the three sites does make it a little easier to deal with the staggering amount of content but when you separate the content you are running the risk of missing a model’s content who maybe started on Karups Hometown Amateurs then moved up to Karups PC. I believe they do a better job than most sites when it comes to sticking to their niches. The PC models are the pro models and you will recognize most of them by name. The Hometown Amateurs brings in the typical downside and upside of amateur sites. There will be some models you don’t find attractive, some that you will wonder why the model didn’t keep going or become better known and some will be models who did, in time, become more famous and known. The Older Women site mostly is older women by porn standards. I don’t want to be disrespectful but a lot of the models on their older women site have a (looking for the least offensive word possible) sluttier look to them. I think they would rather be called sluttier than older. There are some on the older women site who don’t look old enough to be on there but when did porn models start being honest about their ages?
A few things you have to accept with this combination of 3 sites is many of the PC models are going to lean more to the glamorous side. I still like glamorous models, just not as much as I used to. The Hometown Amateurs and Older Women models are going to possibly have traits known to annoy porn fans like tattoos and implants. I think if you picked 6,500 women off the street there would be a fairly high percentage that either has tattoos, implants or both. It adds to the authenticity but will be a negative to some.
Considering the size of this site, with the 3 sites combined on it, the navigation is good. It does require more clicks than I like but that’s one of my personal problems most members probably won’t even notice. You can search the entire site which includes results from all 3 sites or you can specify which site you want to focus on. They have well thought out buttons like when you go to Karups PC right at the top of the screen is “Hardcore videos”, “Softcore videos”, then 7 buttons like “Teens with toys photos” for the the different basic niches of photos.
This has been a gripe of mine for many years with Karups, personally, I don’t even look at their hardcore videos. It’s like when Nubiles started adding hardcore. It’s not what they excel at and the scenes are redundant. I won’t even say their solo videos are that great. The pictures are a major strength on this site and the videos are just like the icing. I believe that is even more true on Hometown Amateurs.
Something I don’t think you can look over if you’re a collector of specific models is how much exclusive content they have on this site. One of the examples of a now classic model Eve Angel, she has 5 videos and 23 photo sets. Using the word exclusive can be risky with this content since the models often wore the same outfits in their different photo and video shoots. Once you look at the photo sets you see it is different from a photo set you may have of the same model in the same outfit. You also get something I know myself and another longtime Porn User once talked about and that’s “new finds” in models. There’s one right now who is in the newer models on Karups named Luna Mills. I don’t know if she’s known or has content elsewhere but Karups just introduced me to this model I probably wouldn’t ever have known about. She looks possibly Hispanic, slightly thick and has high energy in her 2 videos and very good posing in her 2 photo sets.
You get that treasure hunt feel. You’re going through hundreds of models you have never seen before and there’s that one who jumps out at you. A lot of the older Porn Users will say one of the favorite parts of joining porn sites was the hunt for new models or exclusive content we hadn’t seen before of an old favorite. That’s what Karups does best.

Pros:
- A classic group of sites now available with one membership. Includes Karups PC, Karups Hometown Amateurs and Karups Older Women.
- Excellent navigation, will detail in Bottom Line, maybe the best I have seen on a network.
- Over 6,000 models, over 33,000 photo sets, nearly 17,000 video scenes.
- User-friendly favorites section, bonus section includes 4-10 bonus sets/scenes from 18 other porn sites.
- Hardcore, solo, lesbian, teens, MILFs, mature and amateurs. There is a good blend of all of these.
- Download speeds are good (75-80% of max).
- Choice of who you want to bill with, I picked CCBill.
- Multiple updates per day, looks to be 2-3 updates per day on average.
- Newest videos have 4K option, there's not a lot of those but the newer videos do have 4K option.
- Photos are downloadable in two sizes, bigger size is 3000 long end.
- Complex but accurate (when I have used it) tagging system.
Cons:
- There's a little confusion on the main hub page. There is a list of upcoming webcam shows and a row of live chat models. No idea if any of those are included in your membership or need to be paid for.
- The numbers listed in pros can be overwhelming to cover in one month. That's known as a not really a con but could be seen as a con.
- Probably could use more tags in the hardcore scenes.
Bottom Line:
Much like the ATK Network, I had no idea there was such thing as the Karup's Network. You need to take a deep breath before joining a network like this one. Karup's PC (Private Collection) and Karup's Hometown Amateurs have been around since 2002. Karup's Older Women has been around since around 2005. That is around 50 years when combined into one network.
I'm going to try and explain what you're getting before I go into the specifics of this network. Karup's PC is a site like the early to mid-2000s sites covered European models. They still have their archives where you can see now retired stars like Eve Angel, Sophie Moone, Sandra Shine and all the other A-list Euro models in their early years. Karup's Hometown Amateurs is what it says. These are the Karup's Amateur models, they are not all amateurs, you will see a few well-known or at least known models. Karup's Older Women is what it says. Most of these models are over 30.
I thought the ATK Network struggled thanks to a lack of a hub page. Karup's has a hub and the amount of excellent navigation deserves to be covered in detail.
You have the option to use the tabs at the top of your screen: Sites (You pick from the 3 sites), Videos (All, Featured, Behind the Scenes), Photos, Models (can specify which site to see just models from the selected site).
This is where the navigation becomes more complex but very usable. When you select which Karup's site you want to browse, you receive a list with these tags in it: Softcore videos, hardcore videos, below those there are 7 tags for photos, "amateur photos", "exotics photos", "girls with toys photos", "hardcore photos", "models photos", "older women photos", "teen photos".
The complexity shows when you select "older women photos" while in the Karup's PC site, it shows the older women just within Karup's PC. The accuracy once you go this deep into the search looks to be good but I doubt it is perfect. You can always just jump around those tags and look through the newest updates.
The model list is accurate. If you are watching a scene with a model in it that you like, you click her name (tagged) and you will see all of her photos and videos on the site. That is impressive considering there are over 6,000 models. The one part that still lingers from the old days of Euro porn are the aliases and multiple models with the same name. That is where the model list is accurate. If you select Nikki 3, it takes you to her page and you won't see any Nikki 2 in Nikki 3. Most of the aliases are not much different than the names we know the models by.
For me the big question is if there is a place for this type of porn in 2019. I like it but my favorite porn came from the pre-2009 years. There is a lot of solo porn here. The hardcore scenes are not going to win hardcore fans over. They are similar to hardcore scenes you see on Nubiles and other sites that were more known for solo and lesbian scenes.
Which is one of the cons. It doesn't bother me but there is no way to search within the hardcore scenes. This is just from June 2019, there were 20 hardcore video updates between the three sites. Over that same time, I am counting 67 solo updates. I just think the lack of tags on hardcore scenes might make those a bit frustrating for a user. You definitely can't fault the amount of updates but I will mention there does not seem to a be a schedule to the updates.
Back when these types of sites were at the top of the porn world, the users knew all the models. You knew which models you were looking for. You're going to have to put a little more time into it now by going through the new updates to see which models catch your eye or just start at A and go through the model list.
Karups was always in the same area as the ATK sites when it came to photo set quality and how they shoot the photo sets. I'm not surprised that my favorite photos on here are the Karup's Hometown Amateurs. You are more likely to get the fully clothed at the beginning photo sets with the amateurs.
Overall, for the price especially, these three sites are a very good deal.
I will throw this in too. If you just go to "photos". It shows all the photo sets across the 3 sites and each one has a logo in the corner so you know which site is from. KPC - Karup's Private Collection, KHA - Karup's Hometown Amateurs and KOW - Karup's Older Women. It's a nice little touch they have added to make it easier to find your preference. I think with a little fine-tuning they could be up there in the top of their category, especially with a legitimate amateur site included. I wanted to give it higher than I did but I think my score shows it is a very good site. Especially for those into pictures of amateurs.
It's good to see a classic brand like Karup's climbing back up the porn ladder. Of note, I experienced no download limits/speeds that others reported in previous years. I was downloading at nearly 80% of my max speed.

Pros:
* An enormous amount of content going back to the early 2000's.
* Mix of amateur, professional, MLIF, granny, hairy.
Mostly American models but some Euro too.
* A few videos of Zoe Kush before she disappeared, including one of her masturbating and fingering her asshole.
Cons:
* Very ordinary content
* Limited search capabilities (e.g., can't search for solo vs. b/g)
* Much of the older content is not available for streaming and/or the files are so small they're not worth downloading anyway
* Not cheap
Bottom Line:
This is where bad porn goes to die -- or rather, live for ever. Most of the amateur girls just aren't that attractive or are not very good actors and never made it any further in this "career." The few who made it to the A list moved themselves and their content elsewhere as soon as possible.
As for content, it's strictly by-the-numbers, mostly American models, with mandatory groaning, facials, and a lot of anal. If that's what you want, you'll find a life-time's worth on Karups.
Was a member approx. 5 months prior to this review.
Pros:
- Lots of attractive older women, just like the name implies
- A very old site, with content dating back more than a decade
- Photos and videos often available
- The site administrator is active on PU
- Other sites available on network with subscription
Cons:
- Extremely strict download limits
- A very old site that, if you look at realistically, mostly has old content
- Videos older than a couple of years look pretty bad
- Most videos are fairly uninspired
- Probably exclusive, but you might wonder "Is this ATK? Have I seen these shoots on ATK?" at some point. Same photographer(s) apparently.
Bottom Line:
I'm reviewing each Karups site since they're apparently still treated as individual sites even though they've all recently become part of a network. That's a good thing, since "buy one, get two free" is a pretty uncommon occurrence, but also because many of the models were apparently listed on more than one Karups site. If you wanted all of (arbitrary name) "Cathy 2" photos and videos, you would've needed to join at least two sites. Now you can get all of "Cathy 2"s stuff with the same network membership, which is a good thing.
Karups Older Women is, shockingly, an adult site focusing on older women. There are some really attractive ladies, too, along with mediocre and a few unattractive ones. But different strokes for different folks, and there is something for almost everyone here so long as they like more mature and fairly homogeneous (racially) women.
There is content going back to 2006. As you would suspect, most of the older photography content looks fairly dated, but that's fine. It's available, and that's the most important part.
There is often video content, too, but it can be mostly summed up as "don't bother." Most is uninspired and not filmed at a high professional level. The older stuff looks worse than tube videos, but that can be forgiven since it's old stuff.
The biggest "con" is the strict download limits. Not gigabytes, mind you, but time. As was posted by the webmaster on the karups.com "user comments" section, quote:
"Standard, you are correct that there are absolutely NO download limits and the links do indeed expire. They expire 10 minutes after a page is opened/accessed, which is a reasonable solution to protect our content from non-members getting access to it. ... We understand that members want to access our content as easily and with as minimal restrictions as possible. We do our best to accommodate that desire while still offering our sites some protection against the infinite amount of surfers/members that share links, share passwords, etc... etc..."
What that means is you can download all you want, but you have to do it in ten minute windows. Try to start the download eleven minutes after visiting the page and the download link will not be active any longer.
The other big "con" is that total connections seem to be very limited. Want to download a couple of things in a ten minute window and continue to browse the site while you're doing it? Tough. I had two videos downloading simultaneously, using four segments each, and the site slowed to a crawl. Clicking on a model's scene took me to the page, but the thumbnail images wouldn't load. Reducing the segments to 3 per download didn't help. The thumbnails still showed the blank squares where they should be, but no images were inside. The "loading" indicator for the page was still spinning, though, so it's definitely trying. After a couple of minutes I reduced the segments to two per download and waited. Nothing. I finally reduced it to one segment per download and, after nothing happened on the original page that still shows "loading" per the indicator, I opened a new shoot from the same model.
And the same thing happened with only one segment being used for each of the two downloads. The link opened the page, but the thumbnails never loaded.
The connection was fine and the two downloads were saturating my ISP's download speeds, but nothing would happen on Karup's side while the two downloads were running.
You could open a new model's page and it would pull up her available shoots, but trying to open any of THOSE shoots yielded the same result. Empty boxes of thumbnails while the "loading" indicator spun indefinitely.
Then, interestingly, the first of the two 300MB+ downloads began slowing to a crawl, eventually trickling down to zero and failing. On the bright side, guess what finally loaded after the site dumped one of my two one-segment connections so that I couldn't finish the first download? Yep. The thumbnails finally loaded. So I queue up their zip files and start them downloading. And then, not too long after that, the second video download failed.
Bottom line: Would I recommend? If you want the content, yes, very much. As I said before and will keep saying, paying the subscription fee, constantly babysitting for ten minute intervals, and repeatedly dealing with the irritation and frustration of the site is the only way to legally acquire the pictures and videos, right?

Pros:
- No ads behind paywall automatically adds five points to total score
- Loads of photos and video available
- Usually two or more sizes available for photos and videos
- Newer video content in HD
- Material is probably exclusive
- Recently began offering three Karups sites for one membership price
- Webmaster is active on PU
Cons:
- Worst download limits I've ever encountered
- Strange photo zip sizes
- Majority of videos are uninspired
Bottom Line:
The good? Lots of content, with sets going back over a decade. Tons of different models. They offer videos, and are filming newer stuff in HD. They've also made changes so that you now get access to three Karups sites with your $30 subscription purchase.
I think the material is probably exclusive, but Karups' content looks the same as ATK's. I'm guessing they use the same studio and photographer, but the same model's photos on each site tend to look exactly alike except for the poses.
Refreshingly, there are no ads once inside.
The bad?
There is no download VOLUME limit, but there are strict download TIME limits. Per the webmaster in the Karups comment section, the links time out after 10 minutes.
"Standard, you are correct that there are absolutely NO download limits and the links do indeed expire. They expire 10 minutes after a page is opened/accessed, which is a reasonable solution to protect our content from non-members getting access to it. ... We understand that members want to access our content as easily and with as minimal restrictions as possible. We do our best to accommodate that desire while still offering our sites some protection against the infinite amount of surfers/members that share links, share passwords, etc... etc..."
And that's very much how it works.
If you want all of an actress' 15 sets and you open the 15 separate pages and click the 15 separate download links, all of the 15 downloads need to start in the ten minutes that the pages were opened. It was also my experience that the downloads were much more likely to finish and not be abruptly disconnected midway the closer they are to the beginning of that ten minute window.
Needless to say, expect a lot of lot of 403 errors where the links are no longer alive. By a lot I mean constant.
"Oh," you think, "I've got a 100Mbps connection, so that's not a big deal." But ten minutes is about the time it takes to download one (1) 7GB 4K movie, isn't it? More relevant is to consider how many hours you're at work, asleep, and doing other things. Take the two or three hours that are left. Unless you want to babysit and check in every ten minutes to make sure your downloads are still downloading, you're not going to be downloading much content from this site after you've paid your subscription fee, and it's by design.
That's the biggie. Little stuff?
Some of the solo videos are okay, but most of the boy/girl and lesbian material is boring, poorly shot, and/or boring and poorly shot. Worse is that many of the fairly recent video clips have substantial interlacing / combing artifacts with movement, and it sometimes occurs even with stationary subjects during slow movement of the camera.
(You've probably all seen the artifacts in videos, but here's an exaggerated example of interlacing problems in an unrelated screenshot: https://imgur.com/a/99cxhw8 )
There will also be weird photo zip sizes where the 1024 option is (arbitrary) 60mb and the 1500 option is 67mb. Or the worse resolution offered in a larger size download. Many of the newer photo downloads will be offered in large and extra large, so you may have the option of a 150mb+ set or a 300mb+ set. That's nice except for the strict download timeouts.
Occasionally you'll find missing download links for photo sets. Not frequently, but often enough to notice.
The older videos are occasionally watchable, but that's forgivable since the site has content going back a decade or more. The newest videos are offered in everything from amazingly oversized 360p clips (500mb+) to 1GB 480p, to nearly 2GB 720p, 3GB 1080p, and 7GB 4K offerings. Needless to say, you're not downloading more than a couple of those at a time. On the bright side, it won't bother you too much because most of the videos are only occasionally interesting unless you like the specific actress and just have to have it for a collection.
Would I recommend? Very much. After all, paying the subscription fee, constantly babysitting, and repeatedly dealing with the irritation and frustration of the strict ten minute download time limit is the only way to legally acquire the content.

Updated:
01-03-1806:43pm (Update History) Reason: I was wrong about a billing mishap
Pros:
A good amount of content, and some nice girls.
Cons:
Still not as good as Digital Desire, and right there in the pack of softcore sites that haven't distinguished themselves from the rest. Too many "C+" and "C" girls.
Bottom Line:
Too much at $29.95. The site has been around a while and has a lot of content but also has a lot of unspectacular models.

Pros:
Great site!
*Tons of models
*more added all the time
*Beautiful girls
*Theyve been using the hitachi (something I think every model should at least try on camera).
*Some models really get down on their solo.
*More than one scenario per model.
*Fully downloadable and streaming available.
Cons:
*Expensive
* Video work (although done with good equipment) is shaky, Too much movement, Trying to be too fuckin artsy.
* search engine
Bottom Line:
Overall its an awesome site.
I ONLY watch videos and ONLY the solo videos so thats all Im commenting on.
VERY, VERY annoying video work. It could be worse...but could be a lot better.
They constantly do the wrong thing at the wrong time. Mainly when the model is about ready to orgasm. They move away, get a closeup of their face, get a shot of everything except their snatch and puter (2 items that should be in the shot, but not necessarily a closeup). All the artsy shit should be done at the beginning of the shoot. Afterwords, concentrate on the model, what shes doing and her orgasm. Location is another thing. Quit following the other places. Bedroom, Living-room and bathroom should be the primary masturbation locations. Not on a little fucking foot stool, table, stove...WTF?
Most sites need to fix their fucking search engine. This one is no exception. A good portion of your content is solo models...so why not make it possible to search for specific things? orgasm, hitachi, magic wand, pocket rocket, vibrator, contractions.
I currently have a subscription for:
The female orgasm
ATK petites
ATK movies
ATK exotics
This site has the best possibility of over taking the rest....just a few flaws to workout. overall, love the place and cant wait until the next update. But get real bummed when the wait was to watch some BS the camera man was throwing in.

Pros:
According the site rules I am supposed to say something good about the site that I am reviewing. Well... I don't now. My experiance at Karups was not good. I can't say anything positive. Sorry. If you read my comment in full you will realize why.
Cons:
I joined it in August, didn't like the content a tiny bit, canceled same very day. It was nothing but blurry photos and unfocused videos. Macro close up was unprofessionally over used in ALL movies. The models were filmed on the distance of 1-2 feet from their bodies. Because of this fact the video gets unfocused permanently and you don't realize what part of the model's body you are looking at. So I canceled it and forgot.
However Karups reminded me about itself by billing my card next month. I tried to contact the customer service but looked like all people in Karups died. Nobody responded. I was billed next 3 months until I closed my card.
Bottom Line:
Do I recommend this site to others? No I don't. In fact I recommend to every one to stay away from Karups. Try alternative adult sites.

Pros:
Huge number of attractive models going back over a decade! I think its well over 2000 girls.
Updates include 3 photo sets a day (6 days a week), and 1 or 2 videos a day
Content appears to be exclusive (except for the feeds)
Photos and videos have just the right amount of explicitness for me (meaning pussy close ups and spreads, but nothing extreme like gaping or speculums). No pussy shy girls here!
Photo sets have a good variety of poses-front view, rear view, laying down, doggy
Flash player for videos works well-I can scan through a video very quickly to see if I want to download it.
Zip files for photo sets have unique names--no need to type in a name when downloading.
Cons:
My biggest gripe is the with the site layout and navigation. There doesn't seem to be a way to list ALL photo sets by date, or all models by date of first appearance. This makes it a little bit of work to view all the new material posted since my last membership there (you have to go through 5 different photo categories to do this).
The solo girl videos (which usually involve a quick strip and masturbation) are kind of hit or miss. Some girls give good performances, others seem a bit apprehensive. I would prefer for the stripping to be slower and more seductive. I don't see a lot of real girl cum here, again suggesting maybe the girls aren't really relaxed.
The camera guys shooting the videos tilt their cameras way too much!
The boy/girl hardcore vids have improved since the last time I was there, but I still rarely find any worth downloading.
The photo/video sets have too many chairs and sofas, and not enough beds. The furniture could be more upscale too.
Bottom Line:
KarupsPC is primarily a solo girl photo/video site. Each model typically shoots 5 photo sets and 3 videos. The more popular girls have more than this. Some of the models do hardcore B/G videos (most do solo vids only), but recently these have averaged only about 1 a week. For example, in the last 3 months of 2012, there were 117 solo girl videos, 13 B/G hardcore videos, and 2 G/G lesbian videos. The hardcore videos have decreased in number from a couple of years ago (possibly due to the syphillis outbreak and new Russian porn law).
The models are generally attractive, although there are more "7s" and "8s" here than at some other sites like Met-Art and Femjoy. They do have their share of beautiful girls, and it seems like all of the most popular Euro girls have some material here.
The photo sets have zips and come in 3 resolutions: 1024p, 1500p, and 3000p (long dimension pixels). Older sets have only 1024 and 1500. I am not certain, but it appears that some (maybe all) of the photo sets are vid caps from the videos. There are never any flashes going off in the videos, and the photo set that corresponds to the videos doesn't seem to be noticeably different. Again, I am not sure about this. Having said that, the photo sets are well lit and in focus, and generally well done.
I noted above that there are very few if any "pussy shy" girls here. Just the right amount of explicitness for me. Also, some other things that you DON'T find here: pissing, speculums, huge dildos, public nudity, and I don't remember any anal action either (certainly not with dildos). I only found 1 video with "squirting". All of this is fine with me, as I am not into any of the above.
The 50 most recent photo sets and 33 most recent videos are on the home page. The homepage also has 2 buttons for the videos (Hardcore and Softcore). The photosets have 7 buttons/categories, and I really don't know why, as they are so similar. Those categories are Amateurs, Exotics, Girls with Toys, Hardcore, Models, Older Women, and Teens. I wish they would put them all on one main page organized by date, and then have the buttons. The search feature is OK, but needs more categories. It's a little work to get through all their content (of course they have a lot of content!).
The sets for the photos and videos are pretty basic, and as I mentioned above, they have too many chairs and sofas. Sometimes the models just don't look comfortable. They used to have some horrible painted sets with loud colors and painted bricks, but it appears that those are history. A little more variety would be nice. And more beds too.
The videos come in 3 resolutions: mobile, "medium", and HD. The HD is 720p (I don't remember any 1080p), but it still looks very good when full-screened on my 17" laptop monitor (my monitor is 1080p). I'm not sure what resolution the medium vids are, as I only download the HD. The videos come in MP4 and WMV formats. The flash player works very well, and is a big improvement from the last time I was there. The older videos (5 years or so old) are usually in 2 to 4 parts--I remember having to download and join those (ughhh). It would be nice if they could join the older ones for us.
The hardcore B/G videos are not a main feature of this site (at least, the ones done with their models). Apparently some of the members have requested more hardcore, so in response to this, they have several different "feeds". The main hardcore feed has a huge amount of material, but to me it is B and C grade stuff with B and C grade models. It also is not shot in the same style as their hardcore, so I really don't know why they bother. They also have video and photo feeds from Viv Thomas, but the videos are not HD (pity because many of those are good), and the photo sets don't have zips. They also have a webcam feed (which I didn't bother with) and several others including Sex TV, Paradise Feeds, and Whore Hunter. None of the feeds really interested me, and it would be nice if there was an option to join the site without these, as I am sure everyone is paying for them.
The Karups hardcore B/G videos were nothing special for me. In particular, the girls just don't look like they are really enjoying themselves. Another pet peeve, every freaking one that I've seen ends with a facial cumshot. Please Karups, add a little variety here! There has been some change in the videos--most are longer than I remember and less repetitive, but I still don't find many worth downloading. The rare girl/girl videos are better, with some on par with the better lesbian vid sites.
Bottom line: Despite all my nit picking, KarupsPC is a solid solo girl photo/video site. I have been a member there 5 times now in as many years, and always find a lot of good material to download when I go back. A first time member should do the 3 month membership, as 1 month is no way enough time to work through all of their content.

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.

Pros:
The site appears geared more toward photos - which is what I personally enjoy.
- This site has a huge concentration of the sexiest woman in porn that I have seen.
- There are about 3 photo updates 6 days per week.
- There's about 2 video updates 5 days per week.
- Plenty of HighRes photos. The high resolution photos are 1000x1500
- It seems like half of the site is in their higher resolution format.
- The newer photo sets have well over a hundred pics each enough to get the shots that you want.
***Best upper body boob shots I've seen on any website.***
***My number #1 Standout is that the photo shoots has almost the perfect model poses and it seems standard in almost every photo shoot at least with the newer shoots. I haven't found this anywhere else.***
- Site layout is great and very clean without any confusion.
- I think the overall site navigation was great with good search categories.
Cons:
- The high resolution photos are 1000x1500 are pretty small for those with a larger monitors.
- The quality of the photos can be a little better.
- The older photos lower resolution photos are so small that they are useless should bump off site.
- Way too much make-up need more natural.
- Some bad lighting either too dark or too bright degrading detail.
- Unnatural skin colors
- Not enough butt shots for those who like that.
- The solo masturbations vids are boring, rushed, no moans, not much looking into camera, no words.
- The hard core videos are pretty boring a little realistic clean roughness sometimes.
Bottom Line:
Potential Score: 95-100
I know there's quite a bit of personal negatives that's because I am a critical person however, this site is actually the most satisfying site that I have visited to date.
During my month of membership, I never got bored that was a first. There's so much content and good content to look through that it'll keep you busy.
My biggest issue is the small photo sizes but I hear they will be increasing the sizes very soon
When the larger photos come in, the site score should go through the roof.
For those who have smaller monitors this site is great, but if you're like me and have a larger monitor you may be a little discouraged in the beginning. After a bit, I actually got a little use to it but I'm looking forward to the larger images. My monitor size 26
Boob shots: The closer-up portrait photos of the models from the belly up are perfect boob shots and they look absolutely amazing on my monitor.
The photos can use a little boost in quality especially for the landscape photos but the quality is as good as any site.
I highly recommend this site you won't be disappointed.
The customer service is great and they actually work with you and answer your concerns.

Pros:
-Over 500 models.
-Over 280 hardcore videos.
-Over 1000 softcore videos.
-Nearly 2300 photosets.
-They have a good search system that allows searches by age, body type, fetish and so forth.
-They update with new content daily and all of it is dated.
Cons:
-This may only be me but I find that many of the models don't fall under my understanding of the term older. I guess they are older than models on their other site but not by that many years.
-This is primarily a photoset site with most of that content being softcore.
-Only about half of the movies are in one file.
Bottom Line:
-This is another site that has disapointed me because it doesn't really have what I'm looking for in older content. I was hoping for a lot more hardcore videos but that doesn't seem to be karups way. It has the same qualities found on karups PC but not anywhere near the same amount of content. I guess that's normal since porn is often a young girls job.
-I'm not really sure who will really enjoy most of the content found on this site. I guess if you like women over the age of 30 and prefer softcore photosets than you should get your moneys worth. It probably isn't worth staying a long term member.
-It should be avoided by anyone wanting hardcore videos with older women. You're likely to be disatisified with this site.
-My score is based on what the site offers and not what I found to my liking. I in fact did not find one video that I want to keep.
Current Member for less than 1 month (at the time of review).
Pros:
-Over 900 hardcore videos.
-Over 2800 softcore videos.
-Over 11,000 photosets to choose from and more than 1900 of these are hardcore shoots.
-Over 2000 models to choose from
-They have a search system that helps members find a specic type of video or photoset.
-They update daily and all their content is dated
Cons:
-This is primarily a softcore photoset site.
-A little more than half of the hardcore videos are B/G. 1/3 are G/G only and the rest are solo stuff.
-About half of the hardcore videos are in parts only. It's much worse for the softcoire videos.
Bottom Line:
-This is a hard site for me to review beause I can see how amazing it must be for people that like photosets. There is such a large amount to be found here that a month may not be enough to find all that you would want. I'm primarily a video guy so this site leaves me a disapointed because there is just not enough to satisfy my needs. You then add the fact that many models have hardcore photosets but no accompanying video and that just increases my frustration.
-I was able to find about 5 rare videos that I don't believb can be found anywhere else and they are of models that have only done hardcore for this site.
-People that prefer photosets should find more than enough to satisfy their desires.
-This might also satisfy some video fnas but this depends on the type of hardcore you prefer.
-My score is based on what the site offers and not what I was able to download.

Updated:
01-28-1111:08am (Update History) Reason: Original score restored. See remarks below and also under comments.
Pros:
A huge archive of mature, attractive models.
Picture sets: Older sets display at 1024x680 px, not bad if they are all like the sample set, dated 2005, that I test-downloaded. Newer sets are at 1500x1001px.
Latest videos are in HD at 1280x720, total bitrate close to 4000 kbps. Nice! I could not quite determine when either pictures or videos changed to a higher resolution but it cannot have been too long ago because even early 2010 videos are in 640x480 at 2000 kbps. However it must be stressed that they, as well, are of good quality and quite crisp if one does not insist on watching them full screen.
Excellent search engine.
Excellent basic home page lay out, even though it looks a bit dated, but it makes it very easy to find one's way around.
Cons:
Bonus pictures and feeds: Bonus picture sets are from AllOver30 and Anilos. It would be nice if they could be downloaded zipped and in their best resolution. Many of us simply don't feel like downloading a set, one picture at a time.
The bonus "feeds" are even more disappointing because they consist of 1 minute clips of various DVDs only, and are further ruined by a logo running across the picture. Karups would do better not to offer bonuses that aren't really bonuses.
However, in all fairness, one of the bonuses, KarupsPC Content, is a nice little gift because the picture sets are zipped and the quality itself is fine even though they date back to 2005.
Search engine, as much as I like it, should have the additional function of filtering HD content and High Res Picture sets. Many users are no longer content with less than HD quality and don't like to sift through all the updates and models to find what they want.
Too many enhanced breasts.
Cons continued below:
Bottom Line:
The term older does not really fit because most models would be called MILFS or Cougars or Mature in other places. There is only a handful of models over 50 and only one over 60.
Bottom Line:
A nice, solid, quality site for lovers of mature women. So far it does not live up to my personal expectations because my preferred niche is erotic lingerie, while most models that are found under "Lingerie" or "Panties" in their advanced search appear to wear daily ho-hum "underwear" that is practical rather than arousing.
Experience has taught me that my taste is not necessarily the generally accepted one so I won't hold this against the site.
I have also found a few videos and picture sets that do come a bit closer to what I want in the short time I have been with this site, so who knows, maybe between the updates and the site's vast store of material I'll be able to dig out a few more erotic nuggets during my month of membership.
Edited Jan. 28, 2011
I received a notice yesterday informing me that my subscription had expired despite the fact that I have still three weeks to go. Access was cut off immediately and two emails to support to correct the situation brought no response. It is impossible to get in touch with their Billing Company because the only link provided is that of KarupsOW support. Because support, when needed, plays such an important part I have downgraded my review by five points.
Edit: Score restored to its original because I got a response to my 3rd email informing me of a glitch in their system and their efforts to correct it. Additional days have been promised for every day lost now.

Pros:
- A lot of material
- Daily movie and gallery updates
- Reasonably good navigation options
- Most models in 30s & early 40s, which works for me
- Good movie quality; streaming, download options and screen caps
- Some good/protracted strips from casual and business attire
- Would prefer a camerawoman rather than man for the interview/chat movies
Cons:
- Age of models (some under 30) may stretch 'OW' for some
- Slightly retro design (although front end has been updated; am sure member area will follow)
- Very typical lighting/sets/premise for all scenes
- Many models a little too enhanced for my taste, and relatively few unshaved
- Very little girl-girl content
- Could use a few more navigation options
- Older movies are lower quality and split into parts.
- Some daft fake uniforms and hackneyed outfits (newer sets are redressing this, thankfully)
Bottom Line:
Looking for girls up to around my own age (40), it was a choice between this, Anilos and All over 30. They all look similar and suspect they offer similar content; the quality of samples I found on TGPs just tipped the scales in favour of Karups OW. (Interestingly, they include bonus content from, and link some models to, the other two sites.)
There is a lot of material here, it's a bit daunting at first! On top of that, they add a new movie AND a new photo set 6 days a week, so it is growing at a good rate. Navigation is fine; 4 categories of pictures and two of movies - although with the amount of material, we could use more, and/or the ability to sort each list by model name or date added.
Most of the material is soft, with maybe a quarter hardcore; the latter isn't really my thing, but actually the scenes are relatively well-positioned and I enjoyed them. Of the softcore, it's probably about 50/50 between toys and fingers; and there are some good strips and teases before getting to that point. Only a handful of girl-girl shoots and movies; I'd like to see more.
Movies are good quality, sharp and well-lit (even if slightly saturated) - 720p and each page shows a few download options and screen caps of the action, which is useful. This format goes back about a year and a half (a bit less for the screen caps); before that, the movies are mostly SD and many are only available in parts. Image quality is OK; available in 1024px and 1500px which is just about acceptable; I'd prefer 2000px.
I was quite disappointed that so many of the models have fake:
- boobs (I'm no expert but could spot these a mile away)
- tans (and the lighting makes them look even more orange)
- smiles (only the minority of models show their personality and a range of expressions)
Natural is always better in my book, but it seems this is endemic in the milf genre. Similarly, I like a mixture of pubic hair arrangements; shaved, trimmed or natural - although I do prefer the latter and there are very few unshaved girls here. Am hoping it tells them something that the hairiest girl I found is their 4th top model! (Am planning to join We Are Hairy at some point to redress the balance.) OTOH, it's a little churlish to complain, given the quantity of material here.
Overall, nothing groundbreaking here but a good site nonetheless. Although I'm only staying one month, I've definitely got my $30 worth; I will likely join again sometime, but will probably try the other two sites beforehand.

Pros:
+ An exorbitant amount of material
+ You can go on for days/weeks/months in your search
+ You'll find a lot of exclusive/licensed material here, that's hard to find anywhere else.
+ Even with the use of licensed material (too!), you'll find stuff here that might take you a lot of time to locate anywhere else (and save you some money)
+ Easy navigation - it's generally fun to browse all this content.
+ A lot of exclusive vids and photosets - even if they generally got external providers.
+ Fine updates - every day. (Except weekends)
+ Much better vid-quality - lately.
+ DM allowed and zip for pix
+ Almost ALL vids in WMV
Cons:
Not so damn much in the cons. - but:
- The new/newer vids quality could still be a bit better!!
- In spite of the enormous amount of material, quite a lot - or at least some of the models are VERY average.
- I like old stuff, by all means - but too much of this are in low quality.
- Most of the vids here are in average quality - only the very new are in HD - wish they would update some of the old vids.
- The navigation is generally fine - but the design is an 'old timer' - they need to renew that - with a touch, though.
- A lot of model-name confusion.
AND - Cons bottomline: Why not get together a Karups network, too!
Bottom Line:
Karup's PC - man, I've been here a LOT of times over the years - it's porn - no: PORN - from when things where a little bit greener/younger.
This site - and the Karup's Hometown Amateurs - and the later Karup's Older Women kind of reminds me of the old days - not so much bullshit - just a lot of fine material in vids and pix-sets - and hours and hours of browsing - and enjoying.
Like the deal where you can find models with pix and vids from long time back:
MAN, dig this - I even found the greatest vids and sets of an hungarian model - Chanel - who's now a 'working girl' (escort-service) here in Denmark/Europe - always wanted to fuck her - and now she has very fine vids and sets here - funny!
You can go on at this Karup's PC - and locate girls/models that you have not seen in a long time - and wow, suddenly, you'll find material - sometimes a little older stuff than you'll find at 21. Sextury or DDF or elsewhere. BUT the same model.... I like that!
Generally the pix/photosets of just a little older material seems/are better than the older vids.
The quality of newer vids - from late 2009 and 2010 has increased a lot. Most now in HD - whatever that means - because even if they're ok in viewing quality - none of the vids - even the latest are in the same league as what you can watch from 21. Sextury/DDF/and alike - and very far from In The Crack - if Karup's PC would ever get there, I'd put another 5 on the score...
But bottomline Karup's PC is a very decent site with a hell of a lot of fine material for the serious pornbrowser - but bare in mind 2/3 of the vids/sets are softcore - only 1/3 hc (aproxx.) - the same goes for the pixsets.
(BTW: That my score is the same as the DUKE's (TBP), says more about the DUKE than this user, but we agree here... LOL)
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:
Really a lot of photographs and movies.
A recent movie and the photograph are big sizes.
Various content that equals network site.
Lovely women in various countries.
The woman who has the chest of the imitation is few.
Cons:
Photographs of the same title.
Some errors.
Bottom Line:
It is a site with very various content.
There are a movie and a photograph that two or more photographers made from each individuality. It is possible to enjoy it like the network site. I chiefly enjoyed the movie and the photograph of B/G.
Contents of a lot of movies and a lot of photographs are various like the thing etc. of the thing of the Club Seventeen style, the thing of the Only Cuties style, and the Nubiles style. It is very happy.
I think everyone for me to be able to find the liked thing from among movies all.
This is a subjective opinion. There are two men with a bad feeling to perform to Karup 's Hometown Amateurs a lot, too. There is no dissatisfaction because their movies are fewer than Karup 's Hometown Amateurs though they are on this site, too.
There is a dissatisfied point about the photograph.
There are a lot of photographs of the same title. When they are downloaded at the same time, it is stored in the file as which two or more women's photographs are the same. Inconvenience. Unkindness. Reality Kings has very a lot of photographs. They are putting a different title on all photographs. Convenience. Kindness.
The size in some larger photographs cannot be downloaded. They that is smaller can be downloaded. Maintenance shortage.
I like this site very much as the overall opinion. I think that I like this site if you like ATK Galleria.
I will regularly become a member on this site in the future.

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:
+ A lot of girls, most with multiple picture sets and many with video. Many girsl I've not seean elsewhere as well as the usual suspects.
+ Almost all exclusive content
+ An increasing number of HD quality vids
+ Nice easy site navigation and good server speed
+ Comprehensive model index
+ HUGE 10 year archive
+ Nice search engine
+ no problems with download managers and no download limits
+ simple zip downloads for photo sets (choice of two resolutions)
+ single or mulitple video downloads for each update
+ Did I mention there are a lot of girls in here?
Cons:
- Some video posted is still low res
- Doesn't update every day
- Nothing very "different" about either vid or photo sets
Bottom Line:
The main strentgh of Karups is the size of it's back catalogue. I'm not convinced there are girls in Eastern Europe who aren't featured somewhere in the archive. Certainly, if a girl has taken all her clothes off in the Czech Republic she'll be somewhere in the Karups model index!
Personaly I find the video the most compelling download here but the photo sets are also excellent if not quite up to the hires standard of some other sites. All sets are availble in standard or hires zips.
Video res can be a bit hit and miss. Most of the archive is pretty low (640x480) but this is to be expected really when the archive goes back so far. Most recent video is stated as HD - although even this can vary from 960x540 to 1280x720. The vid content though is good - most of the videos take a standard strip -> masterbation format and the girls get naked pretty quick and are never shy about showing the lot! Hardcore videos are also common and are usually pretty standard: clothed, she sucks him, she gets naked, he licks her out, he fucks her, he comes on her face/tits, end. You know where you are and there are few suprises. The BIG plus is lots of the girls are exclusive - never seen a lot of them elsewhere and that's no mean feat comming from someone with over 10Tb of porn.
Karups doesn't upload every day but there are always areound 4 or 5 updates a week with 6 pic sets and 2 or 3 videos and amongst these there's nearly always a winner!
Overall I'd recommend Karups if you're not after imaginitive photoshots and video. If you like pretty girls you've not come across (haha) elsewhere to simply take of their clothes and show you their "all" then you won't go too far wrong here. Nothing earth shattering but good quality reliable updates backup up by a simple and fast site.
