Who hasn't heard of Carol Cox? If you haven't, I'll start by saying that I suggest you check her out. She's an old school amateur who's ridden out the storm for over 9 years now and is still going strong. She promises that "this is more than just a sex site- it's an actual community of like-- minded individuals" whom share her "love of sex in all forms." With over 100,000+ images, videos, web cam shows, games, stories and more, member's are invited to share in on her most intimate of desires as well as those of her "friends". CarolCox.com is the "original Internet amateur" with the "oldest existing, and continuous, Adult website on the Internet", still only costing members the amateur average rate of $19.95 per month.
Just one look at her member’s area and it's apparent that this is much, much more than just your average amateur site. Carol Cox is also the creator of the Wild Rose Network of sites, offering around 50+ other amateur and adult websites as part of your membership here. The member's area is professionally designed, and with access to all this content, it sure should be! The pictures are broken down into a series of categories like: candid, short stories, travel, and special events, etc. The short stories are actually pretty cool, they come with both pictures and a video and tell stories like "Carol in Wonderland", "Glory Hole Daze", "Padded Cell", "Cock Hunter", and my personal favorite, "Attack of the Dildo People"-- this is too funny. Of course there are obviously pictures that accompany a story line of some sort and the production of them is quite impressive although the image quality and size tends to vary quite a bit for them. Unfortunately, that's going to be one of the major, although probably the only, pitfalls for this site. Since everything here is so completely timeless and real, you will notice that quite a bit changes from gallery to gallery. The majority of what you'll find here is hardcore with tons of completely real sexploration going on including gang bangs, girl-girl, sex parties, naked wrestling, and anything having to do with the swinging lifestyle, which is something that Carol and her husband are so much a part of.
This is a great site where you really do get to see it all. Carol shares not only her explicit sex life with her members, but she lives it. It is so obvious that this site is (probably second to her family), a big, big and important part of her life, it is her life. Every photo shoot comes with a great detailed description to set the scene and there's simply so much great and unique content here that it's really hard not to spend too much time going through all of these. Fortunately the professional set-up and design makes for a pleasurable experience, for the most part. I'm thinking that maybe a search feature would add an additional dimension to the site. Also, it was slightly difficult at times to get from the image sets back to the main listing of picture gallery options, especially when it cam to browsing the short stories. Overall, though, I think they've don’t quite well with what they have.
Much like the pictures, the video here is set up into a series of the same categories along with a couple more. They play using either Windows Media or QuickTime and are often offered in two connection speeds for each: dial-up/modem and DSL/cable. Like the pictures, I think you'll find that the videos here range in their quality as well. Many stream as high as 500k, while others appear to be closer to 250k, and not all of them offer an option for connection speed. Also, when it came to browsing them, I had a number of difficulties getting around and locating some of the videos. For example, the link to Carol's candid videos virtually led me to nowhere and the videos for special events actually took me to the picture galleries for those, which apparently is another way of accessing the videos. Fortunately, the amendment to this specific problem looks to be under production, as the special events video link promises to be "coming soon", or working soon that is. The casting couch videos are especially fun to check out because this is where you get to see Carol actually fucking her members! Unfortunately, out of the 4 links/options that are made available for viewing these videos, only the download version actually worked, but at least it did. These stream at an average rate of 350k and offer the chance to see other's fantasies actually become a reality that can be enjoyed by all. Carol is a real sex addict and I think you'll find that she's got a real knack for some hardcore anal!
There's so much to do here that I find it rather difficult that one might be at a loss for new things to check out. There are simple a ton of extras here, not to mention the 50+ Wild Rose Network bonus sites that are made available to you. Member's that can't make it to one of Carol's FanClub parties or events are invited to watch her perform live on cam. This also gives you access to over 3 different cam networks including: Homegrown Cams, Sec Cam Central, and Amateur Camz. Events take place quite often, with the next one up taking place at the end of this month (July 31st) and is a Clothing Optional Outdoor Event, where members might even stand a chance at getting some with this lovely lady of the Internet, also known as Queen of Amateur porn. There's also a message board to check out, thus the community aspect of the site, as well as other bonus sites and voyeur cams. I think it's fair to say that many of Carols member's have been around for quite some time, some of which maybe even from the beginning and it goes without saying that at $19.95 per month, this is probably your best bet when it comes to amateur sites. This is the real deal and even if Carol isn’t your forte, I'm sure one of her 50+ Wild Rose Network sites that you get access to here will do the trick-- a must join for lovers of true amateur porn. Carol is one amateur who's been around since the beginning and has grown with the industry--enjoy!

Review: 07-13-05 |
Getting around this enormous site is still somewhat of a challenge but seeing as Carol remains as one of the oldest remaining amateur sites on the Internet, that comes as no surprise. Both her site and related Network (Wild Rose) have been consistently updating with tons of new growth in all areas. Meaning? There is more hot amateur, swinging content here than ever and though the image size could still stand to be improved, I'm overall thrilled with the amount of content and consistent growth that the site has seen in the last year or so. There isn't any room for improvement in my quantity score here so the overall score will likely remain the same, which I think is fair; enjoy.
Score increased from 83.1 to 85.0.
