| Review of Private Cuties: I've gotta confess I really like my amateur porn sites amateur. It seems like all too much of the hot, fresh talent on the web these days gets channeled through the big commercial hubs and mega-sites, making it hard sometimes to figure out whether you're dealing with an independent or just another subsidiary or spin-off site. To privatecuties.com's credit, it seems to be a wholly unaffiliated showcase of young, eastern European talent.
Of course, there's a lot to be said for amateur content at big multi-genre porn sites. There's generally a lot to look at--leased though much of it may be--and the overall quality of the content, the service, and the site design is relatively high. With PrivateCuties, you get a lackluster site in terms of design and navigation, but, importantly, the content is all produced "in-house." Read the faq page closely and you'll find that the fine folks at PC.com aren't opposed to leasing out their exclusive stash to other sites, but then again who is these days? All in all, the 27 young models featured deserve the "Cutie" label assigned them by the site, however much some of them may stand out as sweeter, svelter, prettier, or more innocent than the rest. My standard caveat is, "tastes vary" so do have a look before leaping.
In terms of the quality of the pics, PC.com is also well above the often atrocious standard for indy sites. Photos (usually around 300 or more pics for each of featured models) appear as large thumbnails and include two viewing resolutions (1024 x 818 and 600 x 479). The poses and positions aren't daring or cutting edge, but the models are well explored from numerous angles and, overall, the galleries don't disappoint. A few two-model shoots provide a bit of welcomed variation, but basically this is straight-up-the-middle stuff.
The flics are clearly a recent addition to the site and, though, there aren't a lot of them at present, the (approx. 80meg/10 minutes each) masturbation movies that do appear are very sharp (even in full-screen mode) and clearly shot on a high-quality camera. Of course, you're dealing with a cameraman that seems unable to sit still. I don't mind handheld "wobbly cam" style stuff, but after watching the Linda and Verca shorts back-to-back, I needed to step away from the computer and breathe deeply. Really, it's that nausea-inducing. Fortunately, The performances aren't nearly as bad. The masturbation doesn't generally appear terribly sincere, but the models (with and without their toys) look great and seem happy to perform for the camera.
Okay, time to wrap it up. For serious connoisseurs of amateur content, privatecuties.com has a fair bit to offer. The models are fresh of face and silicone-free, the photo and video quality is high, and the site is refreshingly ad- and pop-up free. As mentioned above, however, there aren't any whistles and bells here, and until the site adds whole gallery or folder options for downloading multiple pics, there's a lot of work to be done to get the photo content to your hard drive. Even if you are up to the challenge of queueing individual pics into your d.l. manager, the site's probably not likely to captivate for more than a month or so. In short, if you do proceed, do it with a bit of caution.
