Sure, everyone has their favorite pornstar but sometimes you're in the mood for something a little more realistic. Here it Home Porno Tapes, you can see some true amateur footage of real couples getting dirty and amateur cuties showing off for the camera. Membership includes full access to the downloadable videos as well as eight bonus sites and third-party feeds.
Home Porno Tapes is a pretty good job of sticking to the homemade porn theme. None of the people I saw here were recognizable porn performers and the action generally takes place in private homes and has a very authentic amateur look and feel to it. Your membership buys you access to the 107 videos here so far, as well as a bonus package consisting of eight additional sites in the network as well as a handful of third-party feeds. The site does not offer photos, but there are some screen capture images taken from the video for each scene. Although the dates on the materials indicate that additions are made just about every day or every other day, I have my doubts that the site is actually growing as claimed. I visited this collection nearly 2 years ago and the site has only grown by about 17 scenes in that time.
It looks like the vast majority of the scenes here feature one-on-one straight fucking. You'll see all of the naughty acts that real couples do including pussy licking, blow jobs, straight fucking, anal, toys and more. These amateurs get freaky in bed, in their living room, in the shower, in their backyard, or wherever else the mood strikes them. Most of the performers are white, but I did see some black, Latino, Asian, and mixed race people as well as a few lesbian scenes and a threesome or two. These are realistic looking people with real bodies and you'll see everything from skinny model types to chubby housewives.
The quality here at Home Porno Tapes isn't bad for this kind of amateur smut. Each video I downloaded came at 720 x 540 pixels, 1800 kbps and even though some of them do have noticeable issues with graininess or lighting, you can at least enlarge them for fullscreen viewing without making them look any worse. The flicks seem to average about 10 to 20 minutes each, but that can actually vary quite a bit.
A few minutes spent browsing the mostly black Home Porno Tapes tour pages should give you a very good idea of the kind of action you'll see in the members' area. Unfortunately, there are no video trailers available nor is there much helpful information given about the collections such as size, video specs or the update schedule.
The Home Porno Tapes members area is very plain and basic. A menu near the top of the page will take you to the latest updates, the full collection, the bonus paid with bonus sites and deeds, top rated and reviewed videos, member support, and an FAQ section. Just below the menu you'll find a keyword search box. The results of the search box seemed to be based on the very brief (2 to 3 sentences) scene description for each video. Because of this, I didn't always have the best luck searching for common terms. For example, there are plenty of busty girlfriends here but searching for terms like "big tits," "busty," and "large breasts" returned zero results since apparently these terms do not appear in the scene description sentences. If you're looking for something specific, it can be a challenge to find it here.
The number of ads in the members area for Home Porno Tapes is pretty ridiculous. The scenes are listed five to a page, but in between every single scene that's included with your membership you have to scroll through an ad for something that isn't. It makes the pages unnecessarily long and cluttered looking.
You can access a direct download link for the full length version of each flick in WMV format directly from the scene listing pages. There's also an option for clips. Just click the button to be taken to a separate page where you can stream or download the video in split pieces. Screen captures also have their own page and may be downloaded in ZIP files.
Aside from the fact that Home Porno Tape doesn't seem to have grown much in the last two years or so, it's actually a pretty decent collection of true amateur porn. Quite a bit of the included bonus materials offer seems very similar to those that you'll see here at this amateur, homemade smut site. Overall, I think the package is a pretty good buy for those interested in seeing some real people having real sex.
