Newbie Nudes calls itself the world's best amateur nude community featuring over 700,000 nude hardcore and softcore pictures submitted by their 652,600 members. Users are invited to submit any and all amateur pictures so the site offers up a huge variety of content. Their speciality, however, seems to be content that users submit of themselves. In fact, they even have a special icon that "verified posters" get, indicating Newbie Nudes believes the picture to be authentic. It's an exhibitionist's paradise and an amateur lover's dream.
The Goods -
The site is huge! They're quickly approaching a million photos which is very impressive. There are also over 12,000 videos. That is in addition to all the bonus community features, as well. Any way you slice it, there is a ton to see here.
There's a very active community on the site. They've got a busy forum, blogs, profiles, personal ads, and instant messaging. And, with 652,600 members, it's no wonder it's so active. Just while I was visiting there were 5,000 other folks on the site at the same time as me. They say that over 140,000 visit the site every single day. That accounts for the large number of photos (over 2,000) added daily. There's a lot going on here, much more than just amateur pics.
Browsing the large site is actually quite easy. The photos can be browsed by category or by poster, filtered by gender and verified posters, and then sorted by date, popularity, or rating. There are preview thumbnails for all of the photos and most of the videos, and many of the photos can be enlarged on top of that. The entire design is clean, aside from a couple banners here and there that go away with a paid membership. Considering how much there is here and how much the site is changing every day, I was impressed with how easy it was to get around.
The Bads -
As with any site with user-submitted content, quality varies but is usually on the lower end of the spectrum. Sometimes you will come across nice large, sharp photos but more often than not the photos are small, poorly lit, and generally look homemade. Some look like nothing more than vidcaps. That should be expected, though, since the site clearly advertises itself as amateur.
The pictures aren't the best looking, and I'm not just talking about quality here. I mean that they're frequently shot at awkward angles, many heads are chopped off, many faces are blurred, and the folks look like average people (for better or worse). That means you can see every hair, roll, and other imperfection and it isn't airbrushed away. I'm definitely an amateur fan, but some of this is beyond amateur.
The site is on the expensive side for the genre. Now, $25 isn't bad, especially for a site this large with huge daily updates, but it is more than what other similar sites charge. Of course, you can get their "standard" membership for free if you don't mind smaller versions of the photos, no videos, and some banner ads. Just something to keep in mind.
Overall I enjoyed Newbie Nudes as much, if not a bit more, than similar sites featuring user-submitted content. I like the way the site is laid out and I liked how active the community is. Plus, 700,000 photos with 2,000 new ones added daily is simply awesome. Even if you do have to sort through some lesser quality content to get to the good stuff, with this much available you're bound to find something you like. Definitely worth a look for amateur lovers, and those with an exhibitionist streak, as well!
