Like I said, I did still factor the quality photos into my score. I suppose someone who is into photos more would still be more lenient with their grading, though.
To be honest, the site just feels outdated in many ways. While they do have good content, the Karup sites feel like they are 3 or so years behind the curve compared to other sites. Whether its video quality, production value or just the site design and navigation.
Not a bad site...but could be so much better.

| 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. |

Hard to say, but I have several of the videos on there and have never been a member of that site.
I wasnt dogging the site or even the review in general, but when I saw "orignal content", I expected to see, you know...ORIGINAL content...meaning stuff they produce themselves thats exclusive to the their site and company. Not scenes that I can get elsewhere.
But like I said...SOME MAY be original, but didnt look that way to me.

Not sure what you are getting at. I never once claimed what you said wasnt accurate or that you werent entitled to your opinion. I simply said that NA is what it is, and they arent going to change. Ive been a member of NA for years and have requested new things, yet they do everything pretty much the same. Alot of things have improved, but they are still extremely straightfoward, but Id rather have that than a bunch of anal and DP stuff.
And actually, my comment wasnt even directly aimed at your review, but in general based on some of the stuff I read in the comments section.

I respect if you didnt like the site, but this is what NA is, for better or worse. They are like the Playboy of hardcore porn. They are straight forward and yes, pretty vanilla, but thats personally how I like it. One of the commenters said that things need to change...in some ways they do, but not everyone wants to see anal and DPs....I personally hate both....so NA is great for my tastes, and for many others as well.
If its not your thing, so be it. There are alot of sites that cater to the things you seem to like.

Seriously? I guarantee they dont have Brazzers beat on fake tits. The reason I am no longer at Brazzers is because thats all they use. NA does use a good bit, but at least they use girls like Victoria Lawson, India Summers, Lizzy London, etc.... often and not just all big fake tit girls like Brazzer always does outside of their teen site.
And to be fair, most of the girls in the industry have big fake tits, especially the ones based out of Cali, where NA shoots. Bang Bros and RK shoot mostly in Florida I believe, which is why they rack up alot of amateurs that dont have boob jobs.
Anyway, not trying to change your mind...just wanted to bring up a few points. Although I think Btazzers, NA and RK are all quality sites, I think BangBros is awful and has been for years. To each their own, though.

No...Live shows are no longer part of NA, but you cant really blame them. While alot of people liked the Live shows, there wasnt quite enough interest and thus incoming revenue to keep it going. The cost to do those Live shows isnt cheap so they had to cut their losses.
I personally dont care for Live shows, but I know alot of people like them. Doubt they come back to NA though.

| Pros: |
-Top notch content
-Hottest women in the industry
-Nice variety of girls TO AN EXTENT (See cons)
-Good lighting and camera work for the most part
-Great download speeds
-HD videos and standard both look really good
-Nice location variance
-13 Updates a week
-HUGE collection
-Staff very receptive to suggestions
-Fully Downloadable content
-No daily download limit (at least I dont think) |
| Cons: |
-HD videos arent as good as other sites, but not bad
-While they offer a better variety of hot girls than Brazzers and BangBros, they still dont seem to use enough ethic girls. Mainly all white chicks
-Site ideas are basically all the same, but not a big deal.
-SOMETIMES scenes randomly disappear, but its pretty rare
-Older videos, aside for some remastered scenes, look pretty rough by todays standard.
-May be too soft for some |
| Bottom Line: |
Overall, in my opinion, NA is the best of the big 4 networks (NA, Brazzers, BangBros and RK) at this point in time (March 2012). Obviously, opinions vary, but I love what they are doing right now. I am not into the super hardcore stuff, so this stuff is right up my alley. A few years ago I was really on the fence about them and thought they were heading downhill, but they really upped the production value and dont hire uggos or grandmothers anymore. All the girls they hire are either very in demand or hot up and cummers.
I seen the previous review before this one, and I have to comment on it briefly. Yes, this site wont appeal much to those who are into the super hardcore stuff, but IMO, its silly to judge a site for something it doesnt try to be. NA is like the Playboy of hardcore porn. Its fairly straight forward and regular, but thats what it sets out to be. The preview area of the site doesnt suggest in anyway that its anything other than that, so I cant see how people can complain that its not hard enough. Thats like walking into Kentucky Fried Chicken and getting pissed because they wont serve you a hamburger.
NA is great for what it is. If you are into harder stuff, there are many other sites that will appeal to your tastes better. But it does annoy me when people complain about a site not doing something it never claims it does. It would be one thing if they promised "extreme hardcore porn", but they dont.
Beyond that, the only real complaints I have is that it doesnt offer more ethnic women. No, they dont promise that either, but when it comes to girls, its a bit different. Even their Latin site hardly gets updated anymore.
Bottom line: If you are into basic, straight forward hardcore porn that isnt over the top, but offers high quality content regularly and consistent updates, this site is absolutely for you. But if you love the real raunchy hardcore (regular DPs, gaping, etc...), do not join...and if you do, well, go order a hamburger at KFC. |

I recommend you contact their customer service or visit their message board, Naughty Country Club. They have issues once in awhile, but the customer service and tech team resolves it quickly in most cases. Good luck.

I post on the NA message board and talk to the staff. We were told that 13 updates is the norm and thats the way its been going for months. Maybe they dont say it on the membership page officially, but it was basically an unofficial confirmation.
And as I said, I dont care that they are doing this, but it is a drastic change, and while NA may not be a top site in your mind, it is (or at least was) to me. Maybe not always and maybe not in terms of video quality, but my tastes are pretty simple and they have always delivered quality scenes, in a timely manner, and were for the most part very interactive with the fans.
My biggest issue with them is that they make decisions to change the website and never give a heads up. Are they required to? No, but its good for business to let your customers know of any changes that may be coming.
You keep telling me about how other sites/artists/etc do this....does that make it okay? Its just away to make more money, and in NA's case, its a way to SAVE money so they dont have to shoot NEW scenes.
And on top of that, there is a huge difference. I paid a membership expecting one thing, but all of sudden, they cut the updates one week and say, "Oh, we cut updates without telling you so we can remaster scenes". People have the option of going out and buying new albums.
And your logic is incredibly flawed. McDonalds doesnt guarantee breakfast, but if they were to just take that off the menu completely one day because they wanted to focus on improving the regular menu, do you think people would be mad? Do you think they would have the right to be?
And Ill take that part down about the download limits. I copied and pasted alot of the stuff that I wrote in my new review.

I dont think you do understand. It boils down to this...I paid for a membership (full price) under the pretense that there would be regular updates (13 per week, as we were told before). I wasnt told before my membership that that would change. If I had been, I wouldve rethought my membership, but if I did decide to stay on as a member, at least it was my decision to pay for membership knowing what was coming.
Even if they are remastering the scenes, it is still the same scene. Maybe its in better definition, but its still the exact same scene. This isnt like actual Hollywood movies with awesome special effects that I really want to see in high definition. Ive seen the scene before...if they want to redo the videos, thats all good, but when they start taking away NEW updates, especially without notifying anyone of what they are doing, that is BS. At least let us know its coming ahead of time instead blindsiding people.
Its more a matter of poor customer service and false advertising than it is them taking away updates. I expect that from crappy rip off sites...not NA.

My problem isnt that they are remastering old videos at all. I have absolutely no problem with that. What I dont like it that it is coming at the expense of newer updates. Redoing old videos should be an added perk. When I joined, I did so because I was told there would be 13 new scenes per week. I dont consider making old material better an official update. And to be honest, its not like NA's DVD quality is much better than the MPEG quaility of alot of these scenes. Some of the MUCH older scenes will look better, but some of the not so old scenes that are only in MPEG...its not much of a difference IMO.
On top of all that, they do these things without so much as a whisper to their customers that it is coming. Just saying.

| Pros: |
-DVD quality videos
-Hot content
-NO DRM! All downloadable!
-Great picture sets.
-Story based scenes, sometimes ongoing stories
-Cool settings: Major area of improvement. Sets are diverse and look real.
-Great bargain! $24.95 for this collection of sites is really worth it.
-Great customer service! You can share youre ideas with the staff, which they take very seriously.
-Weekly updates to most sites
-Great girls. Lots of different talent and usually pretty fucking hot.
-FAST DOWNLOADS! (For most people) |
| Cons: |
-Quality of service and scenes becoming very inconsistent recently.
-Story lines sometimes feel rehashed and some are just boring.
-Pretty bad acting. Some of it has to do with script, some are just bad actors.
-Some girls dont seem into it or just faking it. Again, bad acting.
-Not enough diversity. Black girls are VERY few and far between. The Asian site they had is no longer updated. Nice choice of latina girls, but not much more than that.
-While settings are improved, they could be better and more diverse.
-While the videos are nice, sometimes the colors are too strong and the video seems too produced.
-They sometimes close down sites without letting you know. They replace them with newer sites, but it gets annoying. |
| Bottom Line: |
Let me just say this. I did a review for NA last year, and while it wasnt really in its glory days, it was still better than most.
Now, the quality of scenes is inconsistent, and the talent they hire at times is on par with some cheap sites that cant afford the hotter stars.
HERE IS MY BIGGEST ISSUE, AND PROSPECTIVE MEMBERS, TAKE HEED....While the staff is usually pretty helpful, they will pull shit sometimes, like cancel updates or sites, or just make drastic changes without informing anyone.
I was just informed that they will be cutting updates SOME weeks, to improve older scenes to DVD quality. The reason I am writing this new review is so no one gets duped. Im not telling anyone not to join....I just want people to know what they are and arent getting.
In the end, NA is still worth a look, but until they get their shit together, it probably isnt worth more than a 1-2 month stay. |

To be honest with you, I havent experienced any download limits, which is why I am confused. Awhile back, I used to run into those download limits after 2GBs, but since they changed to their new format, I havent run into any limits. Maybe Im special, I dont know. ;)

NA Amy's Reply
Sup stargirl...thanks for the feedback on the review.
I tried to be as objective as possible and give people an honest review. Like I said, some of my negative reviews were petty, but some people want to know.
I do feel the stories are lacking in alot of scenes. There are scenes here and there that let me know you guys are capable doing much better, but in the end, I find myself just skipping the fluff and going straight to the action. When the "fluff" is hot, it makes the scene better, but alot of times it just seems too fake or corny for my tastes. The bad acting doesnt help much either.
And I know NA has had more black girls on lately, but I hope thats more of change and not just a phase.
I dont have any real problem with the daily download limit. It was just annoying after my hard drive crashed and I was trying to DL alot of the videos I lost. The thing I dont like is that when the DL limit is reached, you cant even access the site. Its fine that you cant download, but you should be able to at least access the site and download the pictures.
Like I said, I know NA replaces old sites, but I loved American Daydreams, I love MILFs so I miss DOM, DON was pretty good, and I think Neighbor Affair was better than I Have a Wife. Thats just personal preference though.
The update schedule is still a little sporadic as well.
Hope that shed some light on a few things.

Not really sure what they told you, but recently, one of my hard drives crashed, and I lost ALOT of NA content. I rejoined and I left my computer downloading NA pretty much 2 days straight, and downloaded a good 25-30 gigs in 2 days. So it hasnt affected me.
Still, 5 GBs a day is pretty good for this.

| Bottom Line: |
Ive been a member of NA, off and on for the last 4 years now, and it keeps getting bigger and better. Alot of the complaints I had were pretty petty, but still worth mentioning. Other than VideoBox, this is the BEST source for quality porn on the internet. The content is excellent, its updated weekly, customer service is very helpful and listens to customer feedback. They are neck and neck with Brazzers, and are getting better.
I hope this review helps. If you enjoy quality porn and hot women, and have an extra $25 to blow, this is a very safe bet.
And if you dont like it, customer service will give you a FULL REFUND!!! But I promise you, you wont want a refund! |

| Pros: |
+Decent sized collection of videos, but...(see first con)
+Fully downloadable for the most part
+Original content thats pretty damn good
+Solid site navigation, but limited
+Picture sets are good for the most part |
| Cons: |
-...but, they fucking took away alot of their content. Used to have like 3000+ videos....now 700 or so. WHAT THE FUCK!?
-No video or download options. You can stream and download in only one format and quality. Quality for streams can be meh....downloads are better, but varying quality.
-Too expensive for what they currently offer. $25 a month? They have better options for staying longer, but there is literally no reason to stay for longer than a month right now, and they seemingly know this.
-Disorganized. While you can find scenes and girls you want pretty easily with the search function. the time stamps on their content is seemingly way off and just kind of thrown together in a jumbled mess, with no options of organizing alphabetically, by date, etc...
-Picture sets are decent, but inconsistent in quality
-Limited variety in the types/niches it offers. For me, thats fine....but if youre looking for a wide range of porn options, you wont find that here. |
| Bottom Line: |
I am pretty sure there was a shake up at Penthouse sometime last year, so Im not sure if thats why alot of their content is gone, or if they are just being assholes by taking away alot of the content they used to offer.
Bottom line....all I can say is, while this site is not BAD and certainly has some decent content, I cannot get over how much of their content is gone, the lack of download options/quality, and the fact that the price is still as high as it is, despite taking away so much content.
I can only recommend joining for a month if you are REALLY interested. Otherwise, spend your money elsewhere. There are much better sites out there that offer far more in terms of both quality and quantity. All Penthouse.com does is remind me of how good it COULD be if not for how stripped down it is now. |

Gina, thank you for the response, but that is not the experience I had. I tried several ways to contact customer service and never had any luck, and from what I gather, I am not the only one.
And please Gina, while I respect your courtesy, that nugget about the sites updating every week is a farce. Maybe you guys consider rehashing old scenes and making them look a little better "updates", but I dont? Why should people spend money on your site when many others offer BRAND NEW updates every week with no real restrictions? PV hasnt really offered any BRAND NEW updates recently.
And considering all of your companies current shortcomings, you guys still try to strongarm people into staying members. The better sites keep their members by offering new, quality updates week to week. You guys just remaster old scenes and re-release them. Not quite the same.
I will not be staying more than a month, because frankly, from my experience, it is not worth it. Maybe when your company actually starts putting out new scenes, I would give it more love. At this point, Pink Visual seems to me like a site that had alot of potential, but are now just trying to milk it for all its worth before shutting the doors altogether.
