Pros:
An awesome site featuring amateur models and authentic sex!
The differences in models makes this site special and even unique.
Video quality is outstanding and downloadable.
Basic navigation that keeps everything simple and complete.
Daily updates to videos and pictures.
Cons:
The differences in models is unique and because of that, I see that as a possible con.
It is such a big site you won’t be able to fully use a subscription unless you join it for multiple months.
Boy/Girl scenes pale in comparison to the solo and lesbian scenes.
Bottom Line:
The most important aspect of Girls Out West is the difference in models. Body size, breast size, overall build, age, hair colors, race, there are models for everyone and for me nearly every scene is a must watch or must download.
The site is basic enough for even beginners. There are four tags to seperate the videos: All videos, solo videos, girl/girl videos and boy/girl videos. That’s a great way to start looking through the site since you may only like one of those niches or maybe you like them all. The quality of the videos is at the higher end of the industry-standard with true HD downloads. You also have options to download the videos in smaller resolutions. The videos have vibrant, but natural lighting. The photographs are as high of quality and can be downloaded.
The scenes feature solo, lesbian and hardcore sex. If you like solo porn you will love their solo videos and the same with lesbian. This is some of the best lesbian porn I have ever seen. The hardcore scenes are below average in quality in my opinion.
You will feel overwhelmed by the size of the site and especially when including updates. One month, I only downloaded the newest updates for the month and was very satisfied with just the updates. Bundling in the back catalog which has over 2,000 videos shows the massisiveness of the site.
My personal favorite part of Girls Out West is how believable the scenes are. The lesbian scenes feature women who look to generally enjoy and love sex with other women. The solo scenes are a blend of clear exhibitionists who believe they are masturbating for a crowd watching to sweet, shy and innocent young women giving a believable performance of having her first masturbation-induced orgasm. The hardcore scenes leave a lot to be desired. I’m from the belief that exhibitionists and voyeurs make the porn industry go ‘round, but these hardcore scenes play more like a real couple having standard sex.
It is a great site that offers arousing and exceptional scenes for those that are either exhibitionists or voyeurs.

Pros:
Great site for those that likes variety in female models. Probably the best, even.
Very large site that I have been a member of for nearly a year and still don’t think I have seen everything.
Higher quality than I initially expected, and it has been high quality for a long time.
Some of the most realistic porn I have ever watched.
The navigation is very easy, and the categories help you find anything you are looking for.
Besides being a large site, it updates 6 times per week.
Cons:
The older scenes are lower quality and those are not even easy to find.
I don’t know that these are all amateur models. I recognize several of them and one of my favorites, I know she is on other sites. The amateur/pro label is probably stretched a little.
Bottom Line:
The first time I joined Girls Out West, I really wasn’t for sure if I liked it. I do like a variety of models. It was one of the first sites I joined. I wasn’t really ready for this much variety. The variety is more than just skin complexion which they have a lot of different complexions. They also have very hairy models. They have heavier models, including close to Big Beautiful Women. It reminded me of a network that decided to stick all of its fetishes on one site. They do mix these models and types up. They will have a smaller woman with a big woman. A shaved woman with a very hairy woman. Kind of be prepared for that.
That is why I signed up for a year. The sex is very real. That made me want to see more. Over time, the model difference did not make much difference to me. I believe that is what they are going for. There are not a lot of stories or plots. It is more about emotion. This is advertised as a site owned by women and filmed by women. I don’t know how much difference that makes. I do see differences from regular porn. There isn’t anything robotic or planned. The scenes develop naturally. You don’t have that feel of “they have not done this yet; it’s going to be next”. You can’t do that on this site. I do believe it could throw your porn expectations balance out of whack.
The site size is very big and they have high quality. The videos have had 4K download option since 2017. They also offer 1080p, 720p and 576p. Even the 2012 videos have the 1080p and 720p options. They list over 2,000 videos that have at least 720p and 1080p. They do have picture sets you can download. I wasn’t expecting that the first time I joined it. I was thinking it’s an amateur site, they would not have high quality, but they do.
The part I was surprised by are the male with female scenes. There are not many of those. I didn’t expect any. I do not believe they are shooting anymore male with female scenes. The last I found was April 2020. Considering they update 6 days a week, I believe they would have had a new male with female scene if they were still filming that style. Besides being prepared for the variety of models, there are some things you have to get used to. Besides very hairy pubic areas some of these women have hairy armpits. That doesn’t bother me, but I know others have talked about not liking that. It is not something I find attractive, but with this style of porn, it is what they are going for. Very natural women and they are mostly all Australian. I have never been there. I don’t know if that is more common in Australia or not. Besides the small amount of male with female scenes there are some solo scenes too. I really liked those. The female models seem to be very comfortable and relaxed even going into the videos. I feel like I am getting a lesson in culture. The categories make this one of the few sites I have ever been on that the categories make sense and are accurate.
I always pay attention to the user ratings of scenes. I find that very interesting on these scenes. Some of the heavier models have solo scenes and are some of the highest rated scenes. Another blow to your porn expectation balance, the interviews are good and enjoyable to watch. Some of those have multiple females that are nude throughout the interview. They laugh, they touch each other and play around. My favorite scenes are the ones with more than 2 women. There is something about that I like. They do those lesbian threesomes better than anyone. My feelings on the looks of the models. There are some really cute and pretty females. There are some that look like normal, average women. I believe those will vary in popularity from person to person. I do believe that is what messed up my first time as a member. The combination of seeing the model as an average woman then seeing the huge pubic hair and hairy arms and armpits.
Besides that, the site is near perfect. I have heard the saying, your mileage may vary. I do believe the looks of the models could turn some people away. That is the double-edged sword of this site. Everything technical is right. I would recommend if you think you like it, join for longer than a month. The scenes can be long, the interviews are worth watching, especially if you like certain models that are in the interviews. I felt like it took me about 2 months to really like the site. It is now one of my favorite sites. I believe that is better than joining a site and being bored with it after 5 days. One of my favorites.

Pros:
In my opinion - the best professionally produced girl on girl content I've come across. You can tell the actresses are genuinely in to their scenes, and in most cases more than likely are lesbian or bi-sexual in real life, not just putting on a show for the camera. Solo scenes are also great and equally as well done.
The content is filmed and produced by women, which probably helps the performances in the scenes come across as relaxed and genuine (real orgasms etc)
Large variety of body types for the models - ranging from petite to curvy, and borderline BBW in a couple of models. Some may see this is a negative as you may not find all models attractive - but for me it's a selling point. They cast mostly natural looking women too, who aren't afraid to be natural, so you'll find a lot of bush and and natural boobs rather than fake tits and perfectly shaved etc.
Vast amount of content dating back to 2004.
Regular updates - 4/5 a week from what I can tell.
Cons:
Advanced search function is poorly executed. All videos seem to only receive 4 or 5 'key word' tags - so for example, if you wanted to search for all videos involving threesomes, it wouldn't necessarily bring up every video involving a threesome, if 'threesome' wasn't considered a defining tag for that video. The only way to make sure you get all the content that matches your tastes is to literally trawl through it all, which with their vast amount of content, is a tough ask!
Very small collection of boy/girl content compared to girl/girl and solo scenes - and although the boy/girl content is filmed in much the same relaxed manner as their other content, I would say it's overall the weakest content of the 3 options, so would suggest looking elsewhere for that type of content.
The further back you go, the content quality is poor - but I would say everything from 2008 onward is watchable.
Not cheap - 29.50 monthly cost
Bottom Line:
I will start by stressing that this site wont be for everyone who's in to lesbian porn. If you're looking for girl on girl content, pairing the most conventionally attractive porn stars performing together on screen, this site might not be for you. If you're in to more natural/every day looking women, then I think this site will be the one for you, as the performances here can't be beaten. Real pleasure, real orgasms, real passion.
Vast amount of content - site stats suggest 1059 models, 345015 photos, and 4439 videos, and I have no reason to think this isn't correct from what I've seen.
Most of the scenes have a small amount of plot/acting to lead in to the action. I wouldn't say enough to please fans of porn with a plot, but equally it's not so much that it detracts from the scene for people who just like the action to start - a happy medium perhaps!
There's a fair bit of Behind The Scenes and Interview content with the performers too, so you can get to know them a bit, and helps covey how genuine the enjoyment and performances on the site are.
Full HD has been offered since 2013, 4K scenes creeping in around the start of 2017. As I stated in the cons, I think anything post 2008 seems to be perfectly fine to watch, but if you're fussy about your quality, the Full HD and 4K offerings would be worth a months membership to grab.
Although the monthly cost isn't cheap, it does include full access and downloads, so no hidden nasties. I managed to get it at half the advertised price with a quick google search for a discount too!
All in all - I think this is hands down my favourite site for girl/girl content. If they sorted out their tagging system, this would creep up to a 95 for me. For now - a solid 90.

Pros:
Australian porn with I think all amateurs.
1,051 models and they vary in looks, body size, shape, hairy, shaven, very unique site in that regard.
At the time of the review, 4/29, 2020, they have 4,358 scenes and 2,692 photo sets.
Easy sign-up and cancel with Epoch.
Six new videos per week and 1 new photo set per week.
Deep advanced search that gives you over 100 tags/actions to filter.
Blend of solo, lesbian and boy/girl scenes.
Behind the scenes videos and photos.
Cons:
As appealing as their blend of models are, I also would think at least some of those models would be unappealing to some. Especially those against hairy.
Boy/girl section is much smaller than lesbian or solo with only 252 boy/girl scenes.
Bottom Line:
I figured I went outside my comfort zone for long enough. I enjoy these sites with amateurs, models with imperfections, models that probably would not be called models by some people. One of the first things I noticed is the scenes have a fun feeling to them. I do not get the feeling these models are under immense pressure like you see on some sites. I also do not feel like many of these young women are very shy, either.
I think the pros give a good overview of how much content this site has, and I didn’t know any of the models by name. Is it a pro or con that you’re probably going to need to stay on as a member for more than a month? It gives me the feeling it would be a good site to join for a year even. They have over a decade of consistent updating.
Before I go much further into the bottom line, I do want to go back to that first con. As a female, I don’t think I’m as critical of models looks as most guys are, but even saying that I would say there are 15-20% of these models that I didn’t find attractive. The other side of that is you’re going to find models that are very attractive, and you’ve never heard of them.
Most of the content here is what I would call female-friendly. It’s not softcore solo or lesbian. These are real women masturbating and as we all know when us non-porn stars masturbate; we are going for the fastest orgasm. It does lend itself to more expressive, more vocal, would sloppy be a negative word to use? I don’t mean it as such. I just mean this isn’t the masturbation you’re used to seeing on a major site. The lesbian scenes go from looking like real lesbians having sex with each other to the more playful lesbian scenes where the women look inexperienced.
You’re going to get random settings which I enjoy in porn. The solo scenes might be on an exam table, in a garage, on the bed, on the floor, in a cubicle, dinner table, outdoors and everywhere I think sex is possible.
The video quality is very good. They have 4K going back to 2017 and unless I missed something, all video scenes have 1080p, 720p and 480p. This includes remastering some of their “classic” scenes.
The boy/girl scenes are more inconsistent. It seems like some of the couples are possibly real couples, while others aren’t quite as interested in each other.
As a whole, this site does it a lot right. There are amateurs that are doing a good job of looking like pros. Some excellent solo videos and they explore a lot of fetishes from peeing to squirting to possibly the biggest collection of hairy models (body hair). I will have to join it again in the future. That could be its biggest con. It’s a lot of content to take in over one month.

Pros:
- Girls Out West is an amateur softcore site that has been running for
14 years. It has a lot of content, and new content is released daily
- Currently they have 1010 models, over 300k hi-res photos and 4k hd
videos
- Good first-month-deal: $14,75 instead of $29
- The website is classy and the colours are a good fit. It is easy to
navigate, and the advanced search is simple to use
- All videos and photos link back to the models page, where you can
view all of their content plus a bio and other fun information about the
model
- Members can rate and comment on the models and individual videos,
and you can save your favourites
- All content is downloadable, with many different options for download
including 4k. There are many membership options, including a
lifetime membership
Cons:
- There is a daily download limit, but at 40GB it’s not so bad.
- Sometimes the videos take a little time to load, but this is possibly
because the server is in Australia.
- The big variability of models, while it means there is something for
everyone, also means that there may be some content that people
don’t like.
- The site only shows 16 items per search on each page, which
becomes a little annoying to click through
- Website- Style is not the best
Bottom Line:
GirlsOutWest is an Australian based amateur site featuring all Australian
models. It is mainly solo and lesbian focused, but it also has some BG
videos. It is owned, operated and produced by women, giving it a uniquely
feminine perspective.
The scenes are artistically filmed, sometimes with a lot of cuts between
different camera angles, and they are fond of close ups. Although the
models are amateurs, the people behind the camera are definitely
professionals.
The models are all completely natural, with and without hair, and many are
‘alternative looking’. Cute, butch, curvy, hippy, tomboys, they have every
type of model.
The sex is real and believable, and Girls Out West offers a unique insight
into the personalities of the models with their profile pages and ‘behind the
scenes’ question and answer videos with partner and group shoots.
Watching the videos, it is easy to see the connection the models have with
each other, and they don’t mind taking it slow to enjoy everything. The
filming reflects this, artistically focussing on the models’ enjoyment. It is a
fresh perspective on amateur porn, watching the mix of models
masturbating, exploring their bodies and having fun with each other, which
is a big yes for me.
However many of the more popular models have a lot of content,
sometimes it feels like they are more professional than amateurs. I enjoy
watching amateur porn to watch girls who are still new to the industry.
As well as this, I like watching porn to learn new kinks to try with my
girlfriend and that’s what I like about GOW best!
Current Member for over 2 months (at the time of review).
Pros:
- I once questioned if this site was for me (2008 review of an 81), it's still around and it's now one of my favorites!
- One of the most unique porn sites on the internet.
- I could be wrong since some of these models could be on other sites but I don't know any of the models from anywhere except this site.
- They have a little of everything for everyone, as far as body types, pubic hair, and real amateur models.
- The site works well and loads quickly, important since I assume their servers are in Australia. DL speeds are very good (about 80% of my max).
- Despite the amateur genre, the content is very high quality.
- You won't ever feel like you're watching cookie-cutter porn on this site. Very unique scenes with what looks like real, believable sex.
- While you're not likely to find an Eve Angel here, I have found many favorites through the years and they all look like women I see in everyday life.
- Billing is handled by Epoch.
- No cross-sales
Cons:
- I will stress this one. In 2007 or 2008, whenever I reviewed this site originally, here at PU, I was neck deep in the Eastern European porn boom that seemed to churn out "perfect 10" models weekly. I questioned the quality of the models here at Girls Out West. And it's important to say, I still don't like every model and I would guess most porn users wouldn't like every model.
- This site has a true pro/con, that I'm listing as a con. It's addictive. The models are almost all new to you if you've never been a member and some are so cute or so pretty that you just have to check out their content. I've been a member for 3 months now after only meaning to join for 1 month.
Bottom Line:
It's worth mentioning that I've typed this out six times only to run out of characters before finishing and starting over. That hasn't happened since probably 2016. In short, Girls Out West, has been a fountain of youth for my porn interest. I once heavily criticized this site, 2008 or 2009, with an 81 review here at PU. Which is below average for my scoring. I didn't like that every model wasn't a perfect 10 and didn't like underarm hair on some of the models. I still don't like underarm hair but I just don't pay attention to it like I used to.
It was a different porn world back then. Eastern Europe ruled the porn world, perfect ten models, prissy, feminine models. They also had two of porn's greatest producers Denys DeFrancesco and Viv Thomas filming back then. In 2019, we have a bunch of models that are just like the last model and producers that think porn is 19 minutes and 56 seconds per scene with the same 5 positions highlighted, in order.
Girls Out West changes that. The main focuses of this site are solo models and lesbian scenes, there are male/female scenes but they're not that common in numbers compared to the other two:
Roughly 2,000 solo scenes, roughly 1,500 lesbian scenes, roughly 300-400 male/female scenes. Hopefully, you're adding that up to nearly 4,000 amateur scenes. They also have over 2,000 photo sets that are shot more in the style of Denys DeFrancesco (DDF) than current photographers. Including starting with a fully dressed model that giggles in some pictures, teases, then is fully nude.
There's personality here that you don't find in many sites these days. The more than 2 models, lesbian scenes have the feeling of, "What happened, she was naked and I got horny so I got naked and those two over there got horny and got naked then we all got together."
Besides the huge amount of exclusive content there's also the technical quality with some videos having 4K dating back a couple years, 1080p, 720p dating back more than a decade. That's rare for amateur sites.
I decided to try Girls Out West again when I saw a picture set, on a free TGP site, of a model named Rubi Valentine. She was cute, playful, sexy, exotic, natural. To my surprise, the watermark was Girls Out West. I joined in November 2018 and am still a member, another rarity for me to let a membership recur for 3 months. I can't help it. With that much back archive and daily updates, it seems like I'm just now seeing every model at least once and have downloaded over 100 models content from the site. That's another plus, the majority of the models have more than one video/photo set, some even have over 20. Besides my initial attraction to Rubi Valentine, once a member, I discovered Lulu. An incredibly cute model that has a "kind you don't take home to mother" side to her. Sorry for the Rick James reference. There's Bianca that could easily have been a top 3 model in the Eastern Euro boom of models.
There's also the frustration in myself for overlooking this site for over a decade. This is the closest I've seen to real, believable sex in porn in years. The Australian accents don't hurt, either. Neither does the kinky, frizzy hair that was made popular years ago. That, in and of itself, is exotic these days. Exotic to me is a look. It could be a darker complexion, it could be dark complexion with green eyes, it could be a hairstyle that's uncommon, an attitude or personality that's not phony (sorry Los Angeles) and Girls Out West does those types of models better than any site that I've joined over the last 5 years.
I won't give it a 100 simply because these models are not for everyone. Including me over a decade ago. I also haven't been a member long enough to say the site is a 100. That's probably my fault. I will say it's the first site I've felt constantly drawn to since joining, since the first time I joined Zishy. The blend of models, slim, heavier, darker complexion, pale complexion, freckles, it's all believable, real.
The amount of content: Close to 4,000 videos, 2,000+ photo sets, is unheard of in the amateur world unless it's one of those amateur sites that has a bunch of 18 second clips. There are interview videos that are fun to watch. The accents and personalities really shine in those. It takes me back to a time when porn was fun, models were shooting it for money but also because they loved having sex and losing inhibitions. There are exhibitionist, voyeuristic, scenes here too. I haven't noticed many implants or tattoos but considering these models come off as genuine, I'm not for sure those would bother most viewers.
It's rare that I let a site recur this long with intentions to go at least one more month. Besides the video quality that is hard to find in amateur porn, the newer photos are 6000x4000 resolution! It's even rarer that I feel bad about giving a 97. Give it a try, at least look at the previews. It has become one of my most recommended sites to others.

Pros:
- Unique and Spontaneous scenes
- Natural Girls
- Anal Licking
- Quick Downloads
- Good Previews
Cons:
- Needs work on models profiles with Annabel & Kara tagged films missing
- Lots of tattoos
- Some movies in splitted parts
- Site was a little slow on pages opening
Bottom Line:
I finally got around to joining this site after it has been on my list for quite a few years now, Im really glad I took the punt actually and certain scenes I discovered made me think wow, not see anything like that for quite some time, lots of the scenes felt really raw and spontaneous which I love, lots of lesbian sites these days you see scenes were its all staged and directed to the nines, you lose the passion and Im often left feeling underwhelmed with most of what I see. Gone are the glory days of Sapphic Erotica when euro girls got together and it felt like they were having fun and really wanted to explore each other. Few scenes have caught my attention over recent years to be honest but I do like lesbian porn and discovering some new gem.
Thankfully Girls Out West has lots of scenes and girls that I simply fell for on first sight. Models I especially took a fondness for were Celine who is an extremely slender and good looking blonde, she is very sexy and to watch her on Road Trip with Telo was an absolute joy, it was quite funny also as there was this guy in a parking lot by the beach where they were parked having sex with their boot open, he was just perving in the background, dunno if he was a hired actor or was a genuine guy lucky enough to see it happen in real life.
Another girl was Jessie, amazingly these two cuties did a couple of scenes together, Jessie has everything, she is an eleven out of ten, watching her is a real treat and she was into anal licking which quite a few of the scenes had thankfully.
Another girl who stood out for me was Charli, she was another stunning girl who had that shy cuteness but was really into sex, and these are the types of girls I love, innocent looking but wild tendencies. Charli is a great flirt too which I love, she says so much with her looks to her partner, very special girl and worth looking up if you do end up join.
My number 4 was (no particular order either) Charlot, she had a leg tattoo I think in one scenes but this must be new as didnt see it in all her movies. I guess its one thing when you join a site with natural and alternative girls like this and Abby Winters, you are going to see quite a few girls inked up. I look really for the ones untattooed or minor ones. Charlot though her face was so beautiful and she really had chemistry with the girls she shot with, some girls have a real aura about them and light up the screen, she did this, I couldnt take my eyes off her.
Lucianna is my fifth choice for girls not to miss if you join, she is a really beautiful girl and knows how to please a woman, she is great in many of her scenes and so hot I ended up getting her solo work too, that smile she has draws you in and you want to find more of her, my favorite scene with her was Hey Sweetie with Rose who is also gorgeous, very hot movie indeed.
Other mentions are Lily Rei, spotted her a while back on nubiles and she is amazing, so good to find her here, sadly she isnt in that many movies so didnt make my top 5, I also really liked the look of Georgia, she was a real classy looking lady, sadly she didnt have many lesbian scenes.
What really stood out for me here though, is the way they are filmed, they are filmed by women videographers and film crew, not that guys dont know what really is good lesbian erotica cause some do but the crew here do have a real gift for filming awesome hot and steamy lesbian sex from some fresh camera angles and I was left drooling with eyes goggled at some raw fueled sex.
I also have a massive thing for Aussie girls, I think it dates back to growing up with neighbours and home and away, their accents are a huge turn on. I would say I did prefer this to Abby Winters as I think the scenes that stood out will go into my hall of lesbian fame scenes directory. Abby Winters had some great scenes though so I do rate that site high too. Sometimes its a real breath of fresh air to join a site with natural girls who arent caked in makeup and dressed in porn star clothes, lots of the scenes are shot like a fly on the wall that you are lucky enough to of magically appeared on the wall witnessing the girl on girl feast before your very eyes.
Would I recommend this site, damn right I would, for me it seems much underrated and not a great load of reviews out there. Theres lots to go through, 14 years in fact, not all to my taste I grant you and some of the early stuff is in parts which can be annoying, they seem to of gone through lots of the older vids though and remastered them into one download which was a relief.
Other slight downside for me was lots of scenes are tagged as Annabel & Kara for example and these vids are not under the models profiles, so it was easily to miss scenes a favorite model may of done if shes been tagged like this, its an issue that needs fixing.
So I'm going to rate this a 92, I found it worth the money and glad I joined.

Pros:
Huge Archive.
Genuine Amateurs.
Great Girl/Girl Scenes.
Awesome Videography.
Cons:
Same Faces over and over again.
Not enough Boy/Girl Videos.
Promise 7 Updates a week. But often they are only Behind The Scenes, old remastered Videos or Bonus Galleries from other sites.
So there are only 3-4 real Updates per Week, often different Part of the same Video.
Bottom Line:
Superb Site. Models are used too often and my feeling is they are struggling to get enough Models.
If you never tried it before its a must join.
If you, like me, are a member for a while now it makes sense to join every few month.
It seems I now get an email every other day from Girls Out West with links to random sites. I was skeptical but thought maybe the links might be tied to the site somehow and that I could unsubscribe from there. Although the links don't work (odd in itself), what concerns me is that the links all have my email address AND my full name in them. It appears that GOW has sold my information to spammers. I just know I'm not too thrilled with this at all and would hope a site rep would respond to this comment.
I haven't been able to access the site for over a day now so there's no way to contact the site to find out what's what. Hopefully they'll chime in here. All in all, a surprisngly disappointing experience...
I think this is a site for women not for men.
Nearly all videos and photo sets are the opposite of sexy (even the sex scenes).
And the videos are very slooooow, nearly impossible to watch online (stream).
Is Abby Winters better, or is it also a site for women?
I think ATK Galleria and Nubiles are better sites for men.

Pros:
+ Lots of amateur content
+ Different file types available
+ Tabbed navigation
+ Pictures: 1026, 1280, 1600 pixels long side, Some available @ 2000
+ In browser flash video
+ Bonus material from Yanks and ATK Hairy
Cons:
- File types are ridiculous to figure out
- File naming is another pain
- Split files in 2013?
- Minimal previews/ descriptions on videos
- Picture/video quality varies, often for the worse
- Site crashes while using Opera browser
- Not compatible with FreeDownloadManager
Bottom Line:
I'll preface this by saying that this will be, without a doubt, the most disjointed bottom line I've ever written. I'm just going to call it, "Issues". Joining this site was a major disappointment and what follows might tell the story.
I will say that the speed issue I commented on was somewhat resolved. I still can't use FreeDownloadManager, but the "Save As" speed is up to 1.2 mb. Not great, but certainly better than the 200kb I saw in the beginning. Other than this being a strictly amateur site which I absolutely love, that pretty much ends the positives. Here we go...
Normally, I would go into detail about the various file types. GOW seems to go out of their way to make that confusing as hell. You get columns labeled mp4, mpg+wmv and wmv. Then, quite often, you face a cryptic list like this: Source MP4 1080p, Source MP4 720p, High (1024x576 @ 3200k), High (1024x576 @ 3200k), HD (1280x720 @ 4700k), HD (1280x720 @ 4700k), Low (512x288 @ 600K), Low (512x288 @ 600K). On top of that, there are sometimes 5 links that say the same exact thing (e.g. Medium (1920x1080 @ 1500K)) Seemingly duplicate links that link to different files? Same file with slightly different names? I have no clue. I'll just leave it as this - I tried to download only the highest resolution video and was frequently disappointed in the quality of even the newest scenes. Lighting quality, especially on the outdoor scenes was hit or miss.
File naming. Fine on pictures as the name of the model and the set are used. On video? Another nightmare. A lot of the B/G and G/G videos download using the couple's names with no mention of the scene/episode. So, even though a couple has done more than one video, each one has to be renamed so you can download the different videos.
Opened a solo girl video that showed it was the second of 3 parts. Went to the model index to get the other two parts and there were only two videos listed. WHERE'S THE THIRD? Guess I can browse the entire site to see if it's there.
Clicked on the thumbnail for part 3 of a video and the flash preview shows part 2
Picture sets showing up in the video section.
Thinking there might be a browser issue in how the site was displayed, I tried Opera. That kept crashing so I went back to Firefox.
It's pretty bad when the bonus sets are better quality than most of the host site's material - higher resolution and better lighting.
Preview thumbnails for several full length videos open to a page with no download links.
*********************
I actually got a headache trying to figure out how to write all of this, so I'm going to stop writing and just leave it at this - For such a well known site, it's a mess. If you really like amateurs, in all their non-glamorous glory, and don't mind digging for files and renaming almost every video, go for it. Otherwise, avoid this site.
OK - I just joined the site and so far I am NOT happy. I've never had an issue with FreeDownloadManager on any site before and this 200kb average speed is busting my balls. I don't LIKE 2 1/2 hours to download a single HD scene. On top of that, the site just crashed Opera. I went to that because the signup didn't work on Firefox.

Pros:
Decent amount of content, there's plenty here to keep you busy for a long time.
Clearly amateur-ish. "Amateur" is such a subjective term, but the girls and guys here are clearly not professionals, thought hey are certainly not virgins to porn after their first shoot.
More natural women, less make-up and porn-like qualities.
Cons:
Video quality is relative to whatever they shot it with. I'm not sure they aren't using Super * in some cases, the quality is that bad.
Amateur porn, you get what you expect, amateur quality.
Selection of content is all pretty much the same. Apparently Aussies aren't into exciting or passionate sex. The lesbian sex here is really just masturbation with a little kissing. Tame by reality standards.
Bottom Line:
This site wants to e Abby Winters so badly they think they can just coast off that business model. Unfortunately they fail in this regard, and realistically, if their is any real talent they tend to wind up at Abby Winters anyway. Not that these are the only two Aussie sites, but they do seem to be closely linked in terms of style, content, and even models.
You're better off spending the extra money at Abby Winters. You will get about the same amount in terms of diversity, maybe a little less m/f than GOW, but the quality of GOW m/f hardcore, if you can call it that, was so lame you're better off without it.

Pros:
Mostly good quality videos
Fairly well polished site
Good variety, nice mix of girl/girl and boy girl
Girl/girl stuff is genuine! Have joined some sites where its faked - it's all good on Girls out west
Cons:
The major problem is that most of the girls are either fat or unnatractive. This is a major issue for me. Most other sites have stunning girls, there's no excuse for all these fat women.
Some of the videos are in several parts
Bottom Line:
A good quality site, with good quality videos. However, there are only a few videos that really did anything for me, due to a lot of the videos containing unnatractive or fat girls.

Pros:
- Good filtering options
- Bio details for each model
- Active forum
- Interesting and varied locations
- Natural, charming girls
- Good range of ages, body types
- Plenty of unshaved models
- Great quality videos
- Good download speeds on huge files
Cons:
- Site is a bit dated, in looks and operation
- G/G and G/B are separate 'models'
- Some inconsistency in video formats
- Only recent 1080 videos streamable/previewable
- Pics have one resolution, basic slideshow
- Some picture sets too large
- Poor preview area
Bottom Line:
I'm usually into the slightly more glam side of things, but for some reason had a hankering for some amateur, real-girl type material, and perhaps just a little G/B - hardcore isn't really my thing, but occasionally I enjoy it. Having seen clips from both Girls out West and Abby Winters, it was a close call - but I opted for the former, it seems a little more raunchy and one price gets you everything here, as opposed to the different site areas at AW. I suspect the material is similar - and reading some of the comments, it looks like some models defected to GOW after AW moved production from Australia - but either way I'm not disappointed with my choice.
There is a huge amount of material here - the preview area is sadly very basic and doesn't really do justice to the site. Near-daily updates going back to 2004 results in around 1400 videos and 1200 picture sets from about 600 models/pairs; and very roughly I'd say a 40/40/20 spit between Solo/GG/GB. The site is a bit retro-looking, and could do with a facelift; but is still easy to navigate and with good filtering options. There are separate lists of updates for videos and pictures; videos can be further split into Solo/GG/GB material. Models can be browsed by name or recency; and filtered by various options such as figure/broad age range/ethnicity/level of action/hair colour.
Once you open a model's page, we have the standard list of sets and videos; usually with bio details, and a mini-interview which is generally fun to read. One minor quibble is that GG and GB material is treated as a separate model - eg Evie is one model, then Evie & Kara another... so when looking at Kara's solo material there's no obvious link back to some of her GG material. Most models are in the 18-30 age range, with a few older; and have various looks/body types but all are real, natural girls - many unshaved, which is my preference - and mostly Australian, with a few US/European girls too.
The videos are probably the main draw here. The more recent ones, from the last two years or so, are in 1080; then 720 & DVD for the two years before that, and smaller going back to 2004. And there's some really great material - the videos range from interviews and behind-the-scenes, to stripping, dancing, toy play, and hardcore action, and are pin sharp with good direction and camerawork. Sometimes there's a premise or plot; suitably daft, but it just makes things more fun. The locations are varied and interesting; some in models' own (I guess?) rooms and places; and quite a lot outdoor - some in the great outdoors, others in risqu public places and abandoned urban buildings. Most feature the models talking; either chatting, talking dirty, or playing out the scenario - these are real girls and it makes the videos a lot more fun and interesting to hear them and let their personality show through.
It's worth noting that most video come in anywhere between 2 and 7 parts, but that's not really an issue; each part is a good 10-15 minutes long and good in it's own right; they've recently started adding combined videos at the end for those of us that don't mind downloading a massive 3-4gb video lasting an hour or so.
There are almost as many picture sets too; although strangely - since I generally prefer pics to videos - they didn't work quite as well for me. Many of them seemed a little too posed, the models a little-self conscious; the natural, easygoing charm and personality of the girls is the star of this site and for me, it shows bettter in the videos than the pictures. I also found some of the sets a bit too gynaecological, and some too large - a gallery of 150 or 200+ pictures really needs editing down, I think. Still, these are quite personal opinions and despite them, I still found plenty of sets I liked.
The picture setup is fairly basic, recent pics are 2K, and opening a gallery takes you to a simple slideshow where you can download the zip or click on a thumbnail to take you to the full-size image - fine for me, but some folk prefer different resolutions.
Overall this is a great site, with a huge amount of fun, original, raunchy material featuring really lovely girls; they may be amateur but the quality of the work is anything but. I've got a lot of great material and I'll probably go back to something more glam next - and I may try AW sometime - but suspect I'll be back here.
General theme:
This is a genuine amateur site. You will not see fake boobs, bottox lips and bleached hair on this site. Instead, you will find real-life, girl-next-door kind of women. And this comes with all the consequences of realistic imperfection.
Scenes: girlsoutwest.com offers solo, girl/girl and boy/girl scenes in videos and/or picture sets. Each scenes is split into 1-4 parts and sometimes one complete compilation with all the parts in one big file. All updates after December 2009 are coming in high resolution, which means
1920 x 1080 .mp4, 3500 bps
1280 x 720 .wmv
1280 x 720 .mp4
as well as
1024 x 576 .wmv
1024 x 576 .mpg
The quality of the high res videos is very good
1080i files are about 300-500mb for one part and 1,5-4 gb for a complete scene.
Older updates are coming in 640x480 .mpg and .wmv format
At the moment, there are about 160 high res girl/girl videos, 160 high res solo videos and 50 high res boy/gilr videos. Keep in mind, that one video means a part, not a complete scene.
The picture sets are coming in 2000x1333 resolution .jpg's and can be downloaded in one .zip file.
Pro's
* The site offers genuine, non-scripted and non-staged, non-mechanical scenes. You'll find a lot of kissing, foreplay, caressing and playful sex.
* No fake tits, no bottox, no fuck-me-shoes, the models are just as real as you can get.
* None of the pictures are photoshopped!!!!
* Scenes are well shot, usually good lighting and atmosphere.
* Servers are stable and support download managers.
Con's
* Navigation is a bit clumsy to put it nicely.
* File formats, especially of the complete scenes, are a bit messy, some of the files are .mp4, some are .m4a and I even downloaded a .mov file.
* The update/video denotation is and inconsistent and casual.
* Many scenes don't have a complete scene download.
Bottom line: girlsoutwest.com is a jewel in the rough. In many ways, it's superior to sites like abbywinters. If you're tired of glamour, sterile high-budget productions and if you're not affraid to see women as they *really* are, I highly recommend this site. However, be prepared to spend some time digging through the inconsistency and navigation inconvenience.
I was an enthusiastic supporter of this site in the past but one thing that always bothered me was that videos were being published in bits and pieces (part 1, part 2, part 3) rather than as a whole. I could understand this way of doing things when most Porn Users were still on dial-up or ADSL but most of us are on broadband now and there should be a choice of downloading a whole movie for those with a faster speed. Is there such a choice? Tell me yes and I will be back!
I was a member 6 months back and was put off by the clumsy outfits and granny underwear. Not lately ! There are some skanky party dresses, nice body tees, and other great tight outfits. There are new models with wonderful skin, an Indian model with silky smooth brown skin ! If you haven't been here lately, it's time to take a month to take in the beauty. Plus the girls laugh together before getting into it...
This isn't abby winters, but it is a close second. There are also new (720) HD videos that are quite large but full of detail.

Pros:
* Lots of high-quality content
* Unique, natural-style content (no well-known "worn-out" porn stars)
Cons:
* Compared to the past the site lacks some "fresh" and creative ideas
* Since the site has received very good ratings on lots of review sites it seems that it is not as much working on improving its content any more
Bottom Line:
The site has lots of content for those who like young and natural girls. I can recommend the site to all those who have never subscribed to it before. If you like "glossy", "porn-star" porn "penthouse"-style you should turn to another site.

Pros:
- Real dudes fucking real girls! I love to see non-porn stars fucking and this is what they give.
- Real orgasms
- Real-life girls
- Local stuff. I'm Australian and want to see Australian porn!
Cons:
- Some of the girls are a bit scummy, but hey, some people might like that.
- Slow download speeds, not as fast as it should be.
- Updates aren't as often as I'd like.
- Forum is a bit boring, not as much interaction from the staff as I would enjoy.
Bottom Line:
This site and Abby Winters are the best around. I wish there was more like it! Just a couple of horny girls having fun and no porn stars!
As I'm a bit confused about the low ratings of the latest reviews I wanted to check out how girlsoutwest.com has developed over the last few years. I know that site from the old days and it used to different than others. Surely unique because of the efforts Annie has always put into making her site a fun place to be.
The thing that made me sad was to see regional pricing when you want to become a member using the join page but if you order via epoch.com you get a lower price as a European. Guess I'll have to come back soon to GOW in order to review it for PU.
Just to let the fellow PUs know I used to exchange a lot of mails with Annie the owner of GOW a few years ago. I might have a tough time in order to be as objective as possible.

Pros:
Newer vids and pics
Cons:
Older vids and pics
Trashy settings.
Photo sets too large
Dirty underwear on some
some girls need to take a shower before the shoot, gross!
Unnecessarily long videos
Bottom Line:
Once you get past the con's, there are some pretty girls in fetching positions. Other than that, it's not worth the money.
