After recently checking out the tour, I've noticed that many of the recent updates are featuring models that are considered more 'professional'. It seems the site featured more 'Amateur' models until recently but maybe I'm mistaken. Therefore, I'm asking if any recent members can comment on this. Were these recent updates in the minority or were there always professional models updated and mixed in with amateurs? Any information about this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time.
The site was launched in 2010 but is featuring 640 X 480 res videos. Anyone been a member and can comment on how these videos look because if they are 640 X 480 in 2010, I hope the clarity is extremely well. Any other additional info about the site would be greatly appreciated as well including the direction, model index, overall content, and so on. Thanks for your time.
Ughh, thanks for pointing out this is a streaming site only. I was pretty excited at the content of this site after seeing the tour because it reminds me of the site College Fuck Fest which I rented a few DVD's back in the day when I rented stuff and enjoyed the content. But, I can't join a site that only streams, I'm a fan of downloading so I can watch at my leisure and especially now that my time to watch has diminished a lot lately. Thanks for the review.
Thanks for voicing out about the concerns I was interested in. I'm happy that you are attempting to change things up and are concerned with making your site better for paying customers. If I may ask, what resolutions and formats are you planning to change to in the future? I am interested in joining the site and knowing this will definitely persuade me to join. Also, if you would be so kind as to let us know when an estimated date that these changes may be implemented? Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time.
I don't understand, the site just launched which offers two resolutions for thier videos. While the resolutions seem to be a bit on the small side for a site launched in 2010 unless they are captured from DVDs, the difference between the streaming and downloading options seem skewed. So, the streaming content is higher in res than the downloading res. Why? Is this due to the recent topics around porn involving piracy that the better sized res is streaming only to sway away piracy? I just don't understand why the downloading option would have a lower res than a streaming option? Am I missing something here?
I've been looking for a quality HJ site for awhile and this one looks promising. The models are British which I believe I only have a few videos of these types of models. The videos look to have good stats. However, the videos and pics appear to be POV which tends to be the common trait amongst HJ sites. Plus, dirty talk appears to be the theme. Can anyone comment on this and agree or disagree? Plus, how is the model selection? If anyone has some knowledge of British models, are these models strictly amateurs or are they known stars? Any other various info would be greatly appreciated as well. Last but not least, if anyone has knowledge of the niche and can recommend any other HJ sites that may be better, I'm all eyes (or ears?). Thanks for your time.
I visited the tour and noticed she did a hardcore scene in a recent update. Very interesting considering she only did really soft softcore in most her Grooby updates. Maybe this solo site will let her feel really loose and create some extremely kinky and/or harder material. If anyone has joined or joined after this comment and wants to give some insight or details, I'd love to hear your thoughts. Any info would be great. Thanks.
Of course I want the total package when it comes to viewing a model. However, the first and most striking feature for me is a beautiful face. I mean, this is not stripping or bar stars I'm looking at where I can excuse a hag like face and accept a bangin' body. In porn, I want a total fantasy with a total package, therefore, I want an awesome face with a great body as well. But, the first striking feature for me is a model's face. I think this is not exactly what the poll is asking but I'm just gonna answer it that way :)
Man I totally agree. I think I messed up by mentioning the MILF category in this. MILF I guess could mean anyone cause it just means they are at a child bearing age and may have a kid. However, personally, I always just think of a MILF as a friends mom when I was in high school who I wanted to screw. I suppose as an older man myself (not too old, 27) that a a MILF could be the same age as me now. So, I suppose your description is a bit better when it comes to a disctintion of a 'mature' and 'MILF' woman. It's hard to put a finger on what may consider 'Mature' these days. Personally, I want to say a mature woman is 35+ but I even think 40+ is 'truly' mature. But, a person who is 35 may see a woman who is 50+ as 'truly' mature. It's hard to really distinguish. Also, I'm sure an 18 year old would see a 25 year old as 'mature'. I think that's why it's so hard for these types of sites to really be truly labeled as 'mature' sites because of this. I know plenty of porn in the more 'mainsteam' areas such as Reality Kings, BangBros, Naughty America, and Brazzers showcasing 25 year old females as MILFS and Mature.
However, I totally am in agreement with about the categories. I just think it's too hard to look at everyones opinion of what is what and truly come up with what is 'Mature' for all. But, yes, a 26 year old is not 'mature' in my book.
Interesting comment, I think I have to agree. However, many women in the range of 25+ are seen as the classic 'MILFS' or 'Mature' like you said. It's quite sad cause it just goes to show you that women who are in their prime and not even 'mature' are actually seen as this in porn. Lol @ a 25 year old being mature!
I agree, feel free to post even 'gay' site reviews if you want to. There is no discretion between what type of porn you like and want to review. Hell, even some others in the background may want to know some thoughts on sites you like. I'd love to see a Bisexual male's point of view on certain sites. Keep 'em coming and don't be afraid.
Was a member approx. 1 month prior to this review.
Pros:
- Lots of content (~125,144 videos and 292,459 photos) with a wide range of scenarios like handjobs, stripping, dancing, straight sex, solo model sites, and anime.
- Exclusive and Non-Exclusive content.
- Easy navigation with a home page where you can jump to the site you want or categories.
- Advanced search option with plenty of options and the results are pretty correct.
- Model index to get all content from the various sites.
- Updates appear to come somewhat often but I'm not sure if it's recycled content. The network has so many sites not updating and I can't be certain any are still REALLY updating.
- A few extras like DVD scenes and live cams. I did not check the live cams out to know if they are even free. Plus, they are a seperate page and probably even a different company.
- A few different video options with most being WMV 640 X 480 at ~500 kbps. Yes, that low.
Cons:
- The majority of the sites are not updating at all.
- Even the newer videos are pretty bad looking with a horrible res and bitrate.
- No zip option for images and they are quite small, around ~1024 res.
- While navigation is easy, the site design is pretty uninspiring. While it's simple to look it, it just looks like everything else you get from the site and that word is 'cheap'.
- I suppose the network has some interesting niches but just the overall quality is lacking. Plus, who knows how exclusive anything is. Plus, most sites just have like 4-8 scenes or image sets and then never updated again.
- Basically, every type of scene from the network can be downloaded at another network or site with way better quality and ambition.
- The site has some browsing problems, the sites lock up with a few windows/tabs open and you need to refresh them to get to that.
Bottom Line:
Well, I joined this site with a special discount promotion that was even cheaper then the TBP discount. Regardless of the cheap price, I still feel the network was not worth that much. The network holds around 151 sites with probably 75%, if not higher, of the sites not even updating anymore. Plus, most of these sites only updated a few times when they were updating. However, if you are looking for a bunch of quantity over quality and want it quick, this network will fifull that wish. Why quick? Because the I actually got extremely high download speeds.
The content varies from site to site. As I stated in the pros, there actually is a lot of variation. The network claims to have reality based porn but a lot of it is just straight gonzo stuff. Most have little to no plot but the main central theme of the site is usually present. For example, FootJobModels will have exactly that, foot jobs with a few updates. I suppose a plus is some models return for other shoots for different sites, so the model index allows you to download all the specific model's scenes from the various sites on one page.
This brings me to another plus, there is a wide array of models to choose from, from professional to amateur. However, most scenes are just uninspired and the models/scenes appear to just be going through the works. Almost like a quick paycheck for the model and an easy update for the network. But, I can guarantee you will catch some models you know here and if it's exclusive, you will have a scene that you probably don't have.
Overall, I did not like the network much personally. The scenes are grainy, the pictures are whatever without zips, the content is uninspired, and the models are mostly going through the motions. On top of that, I'm not sure what is exclusive and it probably does not matter anyways because the scenes are so low quality that you don't even want to keep most of them anyways. While the site may have some cool search options and easy navigation, there are a few site flaws that make browsing a bit harder than it should be. There are just so many different networks out there with just overall better material, I would just pass on this one even if you get a really cheap discount.
I have a hard time with this one. I want to say I would but it's the camera stuff that bothers me. I suppose if my favorite model offered to let me have at it without cameras present, I would think I'd say yeah. But, there's always that factor of if I actually would if it REALLY could happen. However, I'm guessing this poll is describing joining in on the action on set which I'd say I'll leave in the dream world. These type of questions always remind me of the stuff like, "would you (insert some degrading thing to do) for like $1 million dollars" and everyone always saying no way! But...put that million dollars right in front of them....who knows???
Anyone been or are a recent member of the site and can comment on the model selection of this site? It appears to be more amateur type models but are any of the popular JAV stars present here? I don't think there is censorship on this site either? Any additional info about the site would be helpful too. I appreciate any response at anytime, thanks for your time.
Hmm, a lot of these models you speak of on Karups PC are from the states. But, maybe I missread and all these models you speak of are actually on KarupsHA? Hmm, have you seen American modelson Karups PC or is justme's difference between the two appear correct? I wish the tour was a bit better for karups and you could check out the model index. Unless, I'm doing something wrong, I cannot find a way to get there from the tour.
However, whichever site you are talking about, the models you are talking about are quite good. I like Amia Moretti and Amy Reid and would not mind seeing some more 'Amateur' content of them.
Ahh you're totally right. I don't feel too guilty though but I was a bit surprised that I am in the minority in the poll as far as owning a sex toy. Lol at my collection being found by a family member, I think I'd rather be dead than them finding that lol...I think I'd be more comfortable with them finding a fake vagina than my collection haha.
I find it interesting you bring up the girl sex toy thing. I bet they are uncomfortable about it but I think it's more 'normal' for mainstream people to expect a woman to have a dildo or whatever. Men who have a sex toy are probably seen as more creepy than a woman having a toy. But, I'm totally in agreement, what really is the difference? Well, I think that's what you are trying to say. I feel that a man would feel more ashamed in having a sex toy than a woman. However, I'm sure it's still embarrassing for each to get caught with one, but I just have a feeling for most that a woman having one would be more laughed off or 'understanding' than a man having one. I could be wrong though.
Aw man I hope I don't get put in to creepo status but I do have a fleshlight lol...but I rarely use it after I did a few times. They are a hassle to clean and it's just another piece of contraband I have to deal with when and if I'm doing the deed. If I get any quick encounters, turning the tv and/or ps3 off and pulling the shorts up is a lot easier than turning the tv off, hiding sex toy, pull pants up, and stash the lube lol...plus it's huge. I've been thinking of throwing mine out for awhile because of the obnoxious size of it but I can't get myself to do it since I spent like $80 all togeher for it.
BTW, it does feel good and actually made me nut quicker than the real thing. They have so many different textures that make it such a pleasureful feeling, however, since they have 'textures', it does not feel like the real thing at all. Closest thing probably, but it will never be the same.
Thanks Cap'n, of course any insights and comments are welcome even if I may have not exactly asked. With everyones input and additions I can always have a better impression of what to expect if I decide to join. Thanks for the reply.
That makes sense. I'm guessing the content is exactly the same but only difference is where the models are from? Cool stuff. Thanks for the quick response and answer. Appreciated :)
I am a bit confused about the two sites, Karup's Private Collection and this site, Karup's Hometown Amateurs. Basically, what is the difference between the two sites? Anyone that can help me with this distinction would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time.
Sorry Druppie, I do not know how many videos are available because I've never been a member. However, I do know that I've enjoyed most to all of the content that this company has put forth in their other sites. Usually, this companys side projects do updates at once a week. It just launched at June 2010 and probably started with 10 or so videos, so I'd say there are only a 12-15 videos so far, if that. That's just a guess but it's what I think. You can always try emailing support and asking, I have dealt with this company customer service and it was solid from what I remember. If you ever do find out an exact number, please let me know as well because I'm interested as well. Sorry I could not be more of a help.
Thanks for the kind words, I think you will like it as much as you did then. Nothing really has changed for the worst from what I can tell from the older content to new. If anything, I'd say things are improving. So, if you liked the old stuff then I can bet that you would like the new content, as long as the content never got repetitive or boring to you. If it did, you will probably feel the same way with the newer stuff. I'm looking forward to your thoughts and/or review if you join again. Thanks again for the reply and nice comments.
Another classic question about the site, anyone got anything to add to TBP review in terms on their thoughts and suggestions about the site? Anything more about the content including what is offered vs. price and/or how well the content is? Of course, anything else is welcome and kindly appreciated. Thanks for your time.
