Since 2005, Desperate Amateurs has been filming authentic amateur porn. It's one of those older collections that hasn't wavered from its original mission, although modern technology and innovation keep it topical and engaging. For fans of authentic, homegrown talent, this no-nonsense approach has been a refreshing breath of air compared to the more staged, routine adult entertainment.
Desperate Amateurs started as a clip store and eventually became a paid site. The first transition, in 2009, was short-lived. The pressure of finding new models to film every week proved too much, so they returned to VOD. However, after moving from Oregon to Florida and adopting a more laid-back production schedule, the site relaunched as we know it today.
Updates are frequent, arriving every 4 to 6 days. You'll find 1337 videos to stream and download. Around 500 scenes are in 4K, and every one includes multiple resolutions. Members also get 97 high-resolution photo galleries, available as downloadable Zip files in three sizes.
You'll see sensual blowjobs, anal, and lots of cunnilingus. There are numerous interracial hookups, too. Get to know the girls through the short interview at the beginning of most scenes. There's also some fun BTS stuff. Some performers return for second or third shoots, like Indian model Kama Sutra, who now has an OnlyFans page. This shows that some models can move on to curate large fanbases.
One of the most popular videos captures the first shoot of a 26-year-old brunette named Kas back in 2015. She ends up having sex with a fit guy with a military crew cut, and she seems to enjoy filming with him. Looking at Kas' profile, I thought maybe she'd come back to film a couple more scenes, but they were just compilations that included the cumshot from the only hookup she had.
The site's creator, who is also the director and lead camerawoman, has a thorough About Us page that explains the site's history and how her filming style and collection have evolved. She explains that relying on fresh (i.e., inexperienced) talent means that not every shoot will succeed (some girls back out before anything even starts).
The design is fully responsive on mobile devices and desktops. The content is well-organized, and navigation is fluid. You'll have access to an advanced search with detailed filters, a dropdown menu of categories, tags, ratings, comments, favorites, and a few sorting options.
A model index includes both men and women, with sorting options and comments. Most of the profiles had empty "vital stats" and only included video links. But some had height and horoscope info. There are plenty of BIPOC performers and girls with dyed hair, piercings, and tattoos. You've got teens and MILFs, some all-natural and some BBWs.
Visit the FAQ page to learn more about the content and the performers. If you run into any issues, you can use the contact form. To cancel, you'll be redirected to your biller. Both a recurring and a non-recurring 30-day plan are offered. Those choosing the recurring one will enjoy a $9 discount on all rebills.
There are no bonus sites, but that's to be expected in some ways. Desperate Amateurs started as someone's hobby before growing into the successful indie site it is today. It gets its webmaster's full attention, and they haven't spread themselves thin by trying to start a whole network. Without other sites to offer as bonuses, they might have turned to third-party producers. But maybe they felt that would be going against their independent spirit?
Generally, the usability is good. But the responsive design can cause some issues. I had multiple issues clicking UI elements because they were positioned beneath other elements. You may also notice that many of the older videos are only available in HD.
Yes, downloads are included with Desperate Amateurs. The Bandwidth and Security section fleshes out their policy, which members will appreciate for its transparency. There's a 60GB/day download limit, and you can only initiate eight downloads simultaneously. Their security algorithm will block you for 12 hours if you exceed the limit. They acknowledge that you can still download the entire library in a month, but the limits help them manage bandwidth spikes.
The site stays true to its vision and continues to update regularly. Even without bonuses, you'll enjoy your time with these down-to-earth performers. The quality may not blow you away all the time, but the 4K videos make up for it. And even though there's a download limit, it's high. Desperate Amateurs features real everyday people having sex, and sometimes that's exactly what you want to see.

Quantity: 6/10 About 700 videos Picture quality: 7/10 No 4k. Over 500 high quality 1080 equivalent (5000k) videos and, about 200 720 equivalent (1500k). Filming quality: 5/10 Amateurish. The camera constantly moves around, swirls, and zooms in and out. There is rarely a steady view for more than 2 seconds. The guys love to stick their arms and hands in the shot, blocking the views. It can be aggravating at times. Quality of girls: 4/10 All amateur girls. Mostly plump, flabby, and tattooed. Some are attractive. This is for a specific taste. Variety: 4/10 There is some variety in girls, but they are all clearly very amateur. Almost all videos are the same pattern and setting. Unlimited Downloads: 3/10 A low daily limit of 30GB -- no matter what time of day you login. Download speed: 6/10 Good enough 2.5 GM/s Ease of use: 8/10 Easy enough. Hovering gives previews, but only intro scenes. Pictures on the download page offer a more thorough sample of each video. Search is rudimentary, but it works. Their payment service accepts U.S. pre-paid cards for anonymity.

Since they've started filming in HD, this site is amazing! So far, it's the only place I've been able to locate genuine amateur porn, with all awkwardness and shyness that makes it so much more enjoyable than all the fake amateur porn. The site lets one filter on the keyword "first timer", which is where the really good stuff is.

Like everyone else, I have gripes with the download limit. However, I've still been able to download a lot of their videos. I'm a fan of the talent on this website. There's a wide variety of ages and body types represented. And the guys actually know how to make a woman cum and put the effort into eating pussy, which leads to very hot scenes.

Love the site! True authentic amateurs. Wife is interested in performing on their site with their male talent. Submitted nude & clothed photos. Wants us to let them know when we visit Portland so she fulfill her fantasy of being in her first adult film at age 40.

I was very disappointed with the small download "LIMIT". Now I can't even log in the web site to look at what I might like to view AFTER my 12 hours in "too much porn jail" is up!! This small site can't play with the "big boys" in porn. Very Disappointing as the content is good and unusual.

I find the content of this site quite interesting, But I am totally frustrated by the download limits. In fact I have only reached the download limit (15000Mb)once before being barred On every othe occasion it has been imposed quite arbitarily at anywhere between 4000Mb and 6000Mb. therefore I could not reccomend this site to others, which is a shame since they have some interestingproduct.

It's nice to see a site with a wide variety of body types. The sex appears to be real and I have yet to see any of the typical storyline. They are stating to do more group scenes which is always a favorite of mine. The the girls are there to fuck for money. It's a really simple premise. There is a download limit but when I have reached it. I just let them know and they just unblock me. I get that they want the site to run smoothly for everyone. The customer service response time is really good. I have had to wait 24 to 48 hours on other sites. I also liked that I wasn't stuck with a reoccurring membership. I can do one month and not get hassled.

Another Rabbit review which I feel is inaccurate. Firstly, please understand that you're not seeing any 'librarian' or PTA candidates on this site, lol. You're not seeing that sexy school teacher that you want to bone, lol. Nope. You're seeing mostly tatted up hippies. Think I'm exaggerating? Try counting the number of women on their site who have no tattoos or who don't look like hippies. They also wear very little makeup (on purpose) because they THINK it makes them look more like real 'amateurs'. However, in reality it only makes them look like they just woke up in the morning in a trailer park. Some women can get away with wearing very little makeup during sex, but not these women. Of course, there are a few exceptions but most of their women are exactly as I described above. Verdict: This site tries WAY too hard to be the "anti" porn site but fails. Grade: D- Save your money. If you want amateur sex try searching Rabbit's Reviews for "Naughty Alysha". She actually has sex with real random dudes with no fake BS.<br/><b><i>*Comment edited to adhere to community standards</i></b>

"Desperate amateurs" is an apt description of the administrators of this site, which should be avoided like the plague. Stream two or maybe three movies in HD and download one, and you're done for the next 12 hours, cut off "to avoid overloading their servers." Fair enough, I will stick with the sites that have professional, rather than amateur, servers. The women who play for pay on this site are indeed an antidote to traditional porn, and I admire that. It's absolutely true that "Desperate Amateurs delivers high-quality content featuring attractive everyday folks in hot hardcore action," but you can only view a little bit of it before being cut off. (Also, I think "attractive" is overdoing it in many cases...I'll give you "everyday.") I understood, going in, that I would only be allowed to download a small amount per 12-hour period--seems fair enough for a small website--but I missed the part where they apparently warned me that I'd only be able to STREAM a small amount per day. I learned my lesson, though. Never again.
