BikiniHookups.com is a new reality site that follows the familiar agenda of taking some average looking guys, lying to some hot girls and watching them have sex. In this case, the action takes place on the beach. The gentlemen make up a story about why they are there with a camera. The story usually involves fame of some sort, they might need the girl for an album cover or billboard ad or maybe just an assistant to travel the world with. They then stroll the boardwalk looking for a cutie in a bikini to try the lines on. After a few brief moments of skepticism, the girl usually agrees to go with them and in no time we've got a bj and some sex.
The site design is very nice and lends some credibility to the site. There are so many reality sites out there now that it is difficult to tell the scams from the quality sites. I felt the design here was very nice and the navigation very simple. It is set up in the same way as most reality sites: a few preview pics, a brief introduction of the characters and links to the videos. They also have each episode clearly marked with the date it was added and they seem to be very reliable with the updates. Every Monday since 10-17-03 there has been an update. I think it's great that this information is readily available and I think it is especially important for young sites like this to be consistent and dependable with updates.
That said, this is still a very new site. There are currently only 16 episodes online. This is awfully low. However, the videos are fairly long and they do have quite a few pictures that go with them. On average, each episode contains around 45 minutes of video. That is pretty good! The videos are broken down into three clips that make it easy to jump to what interests you most, the pickup, oral or fucking. This really comes in handy for reality sites when as much as a third of the video is just talking the girl into being filmed. Personally, I find the pickup to be one of the most interesting parts of the videos and prefer to watch that and then jump to the fucking. It's nice to have options like this. The videos are offered in three speeds. Both the medium and high speed clips are very good. The high speed clips were easily watchable at full-screen. Quality was very very good. It wasn't perfect, though, and I think that is mostly the result of filming outdoors. Being on the beach, sometimes the sound of the waves and the wind really took over the audio and made it difficult to hear the dialogue. Still, this is some good video and very enjoyable. If pictures are your thing, you'll find many here. Usually you'll find between 300 and 350 pictures with each episode. What is really nice is that these are actual pictures, not just the vidcaps that every other reality site tries to pass off for pictures. The photos are good sized at 530x800 and very clear and crisp. All in all the quality of the content here is very good.
BikiniHookups.com is produced by the Gamma network, thus ensuring access to thousands of additional pictures and feeds to keep you busy between Bikini updates. You'll find over 500,000 pictures, 100,000 videos, 24 live feeds, 21 games and 9 ezines in their "Extras" section. The videos include those produced by other Gamma sites like BrunoB, Yvon's Training and Peter North, all excellent sites on their own. The bonus content on this site is incredible, both in terms of quality and quantity.
I really enjoyed BikiniHookups.com. I found the material entertaining and the quality is much better than what you find on most reality sites. Plus, the volume of bonus content is very impressive. The price is a bit high at $29.95 a month for such a new site. I think $24.95 would be much more reasonable at this time. Still, the regular updates ensure that this site will grow pretty quickly and eventually make for a very good value. I look forward to re-reviewing this site in the future after it has grown as it will surely get better in time.

Review: 11-09-05 |
With over a year and a half since our last visit to Bikini Hookups, there are quite a few things to report. The collection has grown substantially, with 64 videos currently online, up all the way from the 16 they had at our last visit. However, something different is going on with the most recent 8 episodes. These videos don't have the actual photos of the other episodes (just vidcaps) and they don't follow the same beach pick-up; they're just regular hardcore scenes. Hopefully this is just a temporary change and eventually they make it back to the bikini theme of the site, but it's impossible to say. The other change worth mentioning is that some of the video options have been removed. Now the movies only play as 700k wmvs. They still look good but I miss the choices. There is good news to report about the update schedule, at least. Updates now happen twice a week instead of just once which is good to see. With so many changes to the site, a lot of my individual scores have changed. The total score is going down a smidge, but I still enjoyed the site for the most part. Bikini Hookups is still worth a look but I hope they return to bikini clips soon.
Score decreased from 83.2 to 80.0.
