| Pros: |
+ No cross sales on signup, bills through ccbill.
+ Tons and tons of average to good looking amateurs and teens, slightly more US girls than Euro girls. Not many tats and very little silicone.
+ Get to see early and exclusive scenes of starlets before they became famous.
+ Mostly exclusive content (I'd say about 90%).
+ Good download speeds – about 2-3 MB/sec which is good for me.
+ Model directory seems complete.
+ Decent sized photos (1500x1020 or better) for 90% of the sets.
+ Multiple daily updates – usually 7 per day. |
| Cons: |
- Purely a softcore site now, hardcore stopped about 2 years ago.
- Navigation and search are functionally worthless.
- Website design hasn't changed in well over a decade.
- Primarily a photo site due to poor video tags and search function. Though many photo sets feel incomplete.
- Not all pic sets have accompanying vids.
- Most scenes are pretty generic and they get repetitive.
- No secure login on website. |
| Bottom Line: |
TK Galleria originally stood for Amateur and Teen Kingdom and was a small site I occasionally went to when I first started being an online porn hound over 15 years ago for interesting amateur content. In another fit of nostalgia, I decided to venture back in time and see what was new since I was last there over a decade ago. In short, “nothing is new” which is not really a good thing.
The website looks like it did years ago which is not good when you got thousands of scenes. What they do is post daily updates and then about once or twice a month they group all the newest updates into galleries, each of which has multiple subsets, and post the galleries in numerical order. This is where the problems start.
Beginning with photos, they have photos split into hardcore and softcore galleries, although it doesn't matter since the content is the same for each. If you want to download a hardcore photo gallery it's not uncommon to find that the scene has been split up. For example, you might have to search the following categories to find all the pics from a scene: action, blowjob, foot fetish and a pose file. In short, the only way to functionally go through the site is to go model by model because all these subcategories can be split into multiple categories in multiple galleries for a single shoot. The downside is that if you only want certain types of scenes, you have too look through all the models to find what you want. This is due to poor or inconsistent tagging or nonexistent tagging (earliest scenes). It's only been in the last few years that the tagging has been better but with content going back to 2006 that excludes a lot of scenes. As an example, the site has 359 “action” scenes listed (meaning m/f hardcore), when in truth that covers about 25% of the hardcore content. Also, be aware that the starlets name used on this site may not match her name on other sites although the big stars do seem consistent.
With movies, it gets worse. If you click on the movie link you a 370 page list of movies in order of release. If you search by tags, know that there is only a single tag per movie (example, “toys” or “action”) so that's not much help. Again, model by model is the only way to go if you want to find anything beyond generic listings. The oldest vids have no descriptors or anything to indicate what's in them, just a model name with download options and sizes. They seem to have made the leap to HD around 2013 but there is very little 1080 and no 4k. You often don't know if you're getting 720 or 1080 until you actually download the video and look at it. Download options are mostly limited to mobile, standard and hd. For recent movies the stream function is smooth and has multiple resolution options and you can jump. For older movies you have to wait for the scene to load before jumping ahead.
While the production values are good there is nothing overly inspired or fresh here. They outsource all their production and have a stable of regular contributor producers. That said, things can get repetitive since some photographers shoot everything with the same few backgrounds with the exact same poses every time, especially with the hardcore.
If you're into softcore amateur photography and want to find some gems, it's not a bad site if you are willing to hunt and peck your way through tens of thousands of scenes. I did download a fair number of photo sets but I know that I'm going to have to piece together a lot of separate files in order to create a "full set" for my purposes. The reality is that this is a site that's been running behind the times for a long time and with the amount of content they have the cracks are really starting to show. Other sites do a better job with organization and have better production values so I can't really recommend it other than maybe a one off membership. |
