It has been several months since we last updated Real Couples and it has managed to stay on track as far as adding new material. The overall quality hasn't improved, but the footage remains worth watching. In the world of porn, where words such as "reality" and "amateur" have often been misused, you can be thankful that the terms remain tried and true.
RealCouples is a British amateur site featuring genuine people having sex in front of the camera and apparently they were filmed right in their own homes. All walks of life are represented, from mature to nubile and from kinky couplings to classier pairings.
What sets the site apart is that even though the stars are clearly not pros, they've selected attractive folk who seem to be actually romantically involved and not just acting for the camera.
The 146 videos are quite clear to watch despite being filmed in different flats and houses. The vids do not suffer from bad lighting or jerky cam movements. Members can download the videos in a great-looking Windows Media files or as MPEG clips. Plus, there is an iPod-compatible format.
Another special feature of the site, considering the amateur nature of it, is that even though the layouts take place on location in people's homes, they do appear to be professionally shot. The 146 high-res photo galleries maintain the feeling of capturing candid sex acts, but they are crisp, clear and don't suffer from the usual blurriness of homemade porn.
The amateurs behave as if they're all alone, but it's obvious that their sucking, fucking and pussy licking isn't recorded in private on a handheld cam or from an out of focus tripod. There's obviously a skilled camera operator on hand.
One thing that has changed is that the extras and bonuses have diminished. There are a few links to third-party movies and live shows, but nothing that really adds much to the site overall.
Nevertheless, Real Couples is updated every two weeks and offers enough stuff to keep one happy. I've haven't seen much authentic amateur action that looks this good while remaining completely believable. This is one collection worth checking out.
