Artistically influential Karup's Private Collection, "the beauty of women captured on film". I'm all for that! Karup's claims to have "over 25 contributing photographers" and many models for each of their different sexual niches: amateurs, teens, models, exotics, Asians, older, guy/girl, girl/girl, 3 or more, toys, as well as two additional ones: more babes & more sex. The Private Collection has been around since 1997 and has an archive of over 750,000 pictures. So this is definitely one monster of a site, and from what I can tell, it browses like one as well contrary to the site's claims for a "plain", easily navigational member's area.
Pictures are divided into 5 main sections, or "collections", by type. The different niches are the same as listed above and each collection contains 3 different types of content. For example, Collection 1 has amateurs, models, and teens. Also listed is a Movie Collection which is indexed by album (1-64), and a Model Index, with all of the girls on this site listed in alphabetical order along with their picture, probably the best way to get started on this site, since if you browse by collection you're going to have one hell of a time. Like the Movie Collection, picture Collections are indexed by albums, which means almost nothing to the everyday user of this site. My advice- stick to browsing by model unless you are one who is extremely fond of a certain "type" of porn and are less concerned with the models. There certainly are a lot of models to be found on the site, I noticed, probably over a thousand of them. Picture sets are browsed 12 thumbs at a time, available in a zip file, and though it's not kept constant, image size and quality is usually very nice! I noticed very few that were below 800x600 and most are even larger. Every now and then, though, you do hit an older-looking image series that isn't up to snuff. I'd say that a very large portion of these girls are extremely hot and sexy so there shouldn't be any problems finding the "one" who does it for ya.
Unfortunately, when you browse by model you are able to see all their picture sets, but not their movies (if any), so movies you have to browse by album. There are a total of 64 (as of this review, 11/17/03) albums, each containing an average of 2 entire movies, 4 scenes each. This isn't always the case, though, since it seems almost nothing is kept constant here but the newer ones will generally use this format. Movies either use Windows Media or QuickTime to play and the quality is usually about average. Newer movies will always play using Windows Media and the quality, thankfully, has gotten better over time, as high as 700k (the quality went from 266k at album #17 to 742k at album #60, so there you go). If you're looking for action, you'll find it in the movies section; girls playing with toys, sex, masturbation, blowjob's, anal, and more.
Overall, I'd definitely like to see some better organization. Movies should be browse able by girl as well as content type, and an overall search function would do browsing this site wonders. Obviously the quality has just continued to improve throughout the years this site has been online and I think that says a lot about the people behind it, so I can't be too hard on them:). I really liked the high quality pictures but would like more of a consistent image size and maybe an image size option. Movies feel a little haphazard on what you're going to get but there's some real good stuff in there just waiting to be found.

Review: 09-28-04 |
Basically in the last 10-11 months Karup's already massive archive of images has continued to grow, but their video collection has become the most impressive jump in numbers at 215+. The site design could still use some major work, which in itself would be a major project but it might be worth it for a site that continues to grow at such a steady pace. The content quality is still kick ass and most of the stuff here is exclusive; I'll be upping my score a little bit on this one.
Score increased from 80.8 to 81.5.
