Big site that’s old enough to be legal (over 20 years)
Cons:
I am sure one reason it’s not as popular as it should be is the focus on photos
Models are not only amateur, but also natural and that means some are hairy
Bottom Line:
I mentioned this site being underrated based on no new member reviews in over 10 years. I remember reading the reviews that are still here, back in 2010 or so. I was a fan of I Feel Myself and that led to me giving I Shot Myself a try. Now that I think of it, I wouldn’t be surprised if the name of the site possibly has turned people away. I do remember when we would say self-shot picture instead of selfies.
For me, this is one of those sites that’s polarizing to the general porn loving population. That’s where I’m going to draw a line. Being a member has made me curious about the possibility of a site like this one, being relevant in 2023. Would there be a market for a site like this one? I have always heard and even experienced, to an extent, the cyclical nature of porn, but when we’re usually discussing something being cyclical, technology isn’t a major part of that. In this case, technology is not a major part of it, it’s the bottom line (sorry, had to do it).
It’s clear to us that are old enough to remember early 2000s porn that pictures were preferred in the late 90s, early 2000s. The file sizes were much more acceptable and doable with even dial-up internet. See the question it leaves us with? Did pictures fail against videos just because people wanted newer technology or do people find videos to be superior quality? The twist to this is I just think people have become more desensitized to sex and some will argue, more open, to sex in general.
I’m glad I’m just reviewing this site and not trying to figure out any kind of truth in why pictures lost popularity. This site hasn’t changed much and I can see why some would complain about that. Then again, it still does exactly what it says it’s going to do. It offers real, amateur models posing nude and pleasuring themselves. The pictures you can download are excellent quality and you’re not going to see many “dumb photographer” photos. There’s more realism and believability from these photos than you’ll see on the professional photography sites.
Models are typically young (18-24), but not 100%. The site is based out of Australia and I personally, have liked every Australian porn site I’ve joined. There is a difference between the culture these models are from compared to US and UK/Euro models. The models show real enjoyment in being naked and in front of a camera. You really can’t find much to complain about. There are nearly 1,000 videos and 12,000 photo zips.
Everything about the site is different than what you’re used to from a porn site and while that can be a negative, it also can be a positive if you take the time to enjoy the content.

Pros:
-There is a nice variety of ethnicities, ages, and body-types.
-The women/girls have a very authentic quality to them.
-All picture sets (or Folios, as the site calls them) are available as zip files.
-A huge amount of content.
-ISMS recently abandoned its multi-tiered pricing scheme, so now all members get all the content.
-Decent quality videos, downloadable as .mp4s, with no DRM.
-Discounts available if you can locate a banner ad and link to the site through it.
-Some of the more popular Abby Winters models (such as Toni B) have some additional sets here.
-Very fast downloads.
-11 updates per week
Cons:
The single biggest issue here is that there is no good search feature. Basically, you can search by country and that's about it. Considering the many hundreds of models on the site, we should be able to search by age, race, body type, and more.
The other downside is that the pictures aren't huge, especially by today's standards.
Bottom Line:
Perhaps it's officially true: with today's fancy cameras *anyone* can take a great picture. Well, anyone can take an in-focus picture with decent lighting, if these girls do indeed shot themselves. I'm skeptical because there is a fairly uniform quality. When real girls shot pictures of themselves in the mirror or whatever, they're usually pretty terrible with red eyes, poor lighting, and such. I'm not convinced the site is authentic.
It IS, however, a great source of unconventional models. There are many races, many body types, and many ages. The vast majority are caucasian girls in their early 20s, but there are some women up to 50. Many of the models are not conventionally beautiful in the super-thin, fake-breasted, air-brushed manner that we're used to. They seem real with a joyful vitality.
Some of the models have more of an artistic sense than others. Some models just shoot their bodies in a straightforward manner, while others get more creative. The premise stays the same, but there is still a surprising amount of variety.
If you enjoy amateurs having a good time naked, this site is for you. It updates 11 times per week and the quality of the updates is consistent and doesn't overload you with a lot of generic junk. The personality of the models really comes through and they seem like real people.
I wish the site had a decent search option, but that hardly matters when you consider the uniqueness of the site and how it does so much right. Highly recommended.

Pros:
One of the few megasites on the internet out there with "true" girl next door types.
Massive collection - over 3,600 folios to date.
Many many many cute girls.
Regular daily updates since 2003.
Includes detailed personal information submitted by the model herself.
3 month membership including "extras" on $45. A real bargain!!!
Cons:
Non professional photography includes numerous odd angles and soft looking pictures.
There are few web videos
Bottom Line:
I am surprised there is only one review of this incredible site thus far. It features a massive collection of girl next door types, mainly from Australia, and yes, some featured on the venerable Abby Winter site. Here is how it works: The girls express an interest in submitting a portfolio of themselves and the website sends the girl a camera to photograph themself. The pictures are digital snapshots, of generally high quality. The girls themselves all appears to be amateurs doing this as a form of self expression. The website also features extensive personal information submitted by the model including her reason for posing. I would say most of them look like the kind of girls you would see at a local club.
There are only a handful of websites which feature a huge quantity of genuine girl next door types. Abby Winters is the most famous, but this one has the same quality of girls, and more quantity to boot. The photographic quality and navigation is not up to Abby Winters standards, but I still recommend this site highly. All in all, this site is a tremendous value at $45 for 3 months. You can opt for a $29 membership, but does not include additional sets submitted by the girls. Trust me, you want to spend the extra $16 over 3 months to see the additional sets. It's worth it!!!!!!!!!!
Was a member approx. 4 months prior to this review.
Pros:
-Genuine. This is a big, big plus for any site of any type. Being what you really are about.
-Young women you might know....with luck
-Quality videos and photos.
-the shot angle.
Cons:
-the premise is a certain sameness. It's not a bad sameness, but it struggles to have legs.
-the shot angle.
Bottom Line:
IShotMyself really is a nice site, with true photos and vidoes, but it's hard to stay here for long. You certainly want to come back, but we're talking a focused theme here. It's a good one, but a good one for visiting. If my opinion matters, then it's join for a month and come back a couple or so months later.
