World Wide Wives is a huge community website featuring member-submitted pictures and videos. They've been around since 1999 and in that time they have amassed a giant collection of true amateur porn. I'll be honest with you, my first impression of the site was not great. The main tour page is purple, blue, red, lime green, orange, and black on a yellow background on top of a purple background. It's all text and thumbnails with no graphics. Yikes! However, the size and longevity of the site were intriguing and this is one example of what you can miss by judging a book by its cover.
At least twenty galleries are added to the softcore section and at least ten galleries are added to the hardcore section of the site every single day, as they have been for the past five years. This equals a collection of approximately 800,000 pictures (so they say, I certainly didn't count!). That's a huge archive! Plus with daily updates of at least 200 pictures there is always something new to see here. Of course, as with any site of this nature, what you actually end up seeing may or may not be what you had in mind. Quality varies immensely. Some galleries are comprised entirely of smallish vidcaps. Some are photos, but they look like they were scanned in from a 1970s porno album. And others are what make it all worthwhile. Clearly some of the participants here know what they're doing and take the time to take nice clear (though still amateur) photos. Overall, I feel the content here is better quality that what is on similar sites, but you never really know what you're going to see. One very useful feature they have lets you jump straight to other galleries posted by the same member. This makes it easy to find other sets starring your favorite girl or at least those that offer similar good quality pics.
The content is pretty similar to what you'll find on other sites like this. I'd say the majority of the models are middle-aged women, although there are still quite a few younger hotties mixed in. Some of the models censor their faces, which I never like to see but seems to be pretty common. I just think it's distracting to have a big black bar across someone's face. The site is basically two-thirds softcore, one-third hardcore, and then there is an additional small section of male pics.
Heading over to the video section, I was surprised with how small the collection was relative to the number of photos. I counted approximately 400 one minute long video clips available. A new one is added daily and they offer archives of past years. It looks like they only began offering videos in 2002 so that is obviously why the collection is smaller. Still, 400 isn't bad. I was very impressed with the consistant format and relative quality consistancy of the video files. All movies are offered in two speeds in Windows Media. The two speeds vary a bit but a good average is 40k for modem users and 280k for broadband. In all the similar sites we've reviewed offering member-submitted content I have never seen such congruity in the videos. They're still not perfect, we're still talking about homemade porn movies here, but as far as what can be found on other similar sites, I'm pretty impressed here.
World Wide Wives is certainly one of the better member-submission sites in my book. They've got an absolutely massive collection, decent navigation and video features, and overall I felt the quality was a bit above what other sites offer. The price is certainly reasonable at $15 a month. These sites aren't for everyone but for those who enjoy true amateur erotica I definitely recommend checking out World Wide Wives.

Review: 11-18-05 |
First of all, give thanks to the deity of your choosing that WorldWideWives has had a redesign! Wow, it really looks MUCH better! Structurally I'm not sure what exactly has changed. It could be new or else I just didn't mention it in my initial review but one user feature that sets this site apart from similar sites are the browse capabilities and the image categories in particular. I think the submitter profiles are also new. They've really done their best to tame this huge collection and make it surfer-friendly. And it's bigger than ever now. The photo count is around a million and the number of videos has increased substantially since our last visit from 400 to over 1,000. The site isn't perfect, you're still dealing with user-submitted content, but compared to other similar sites WorldWideWives is head and shoulders above the rest.
Score increased from 77.2 to 80.0.
