Review:

No, this isn't a bondage or S&M site, as in Karup's . . . OW! The OW isn't "Ouch! but "Older Women."

What is an older woman? Hmmmm. Well, according to this site it's an "adult woman" who is "over 18." Now, as you've heard us complain before, we consider an older or mature to be a little older than that. In fact, we have a hard time thinking of a woman in her 30s as being an older woman. This is a point that other review sites have picked up on with regard to this site. You'll notice that a lot of them mention how the women here definitely fall into the younger bracket (say 35-40) of the mature age range. So this is something you should keep in mind. Like it or not, there seem to be only three age groups when it comes to porn: teen, pornstar, and mature. And mature starts at 30.

But back to Karup's OW. Here's what the warning page has to say:

The web site that stands before you includes powerful videos, stunning images and incindiary [sic] text, rich with vivid and graphic depictions of sexual passion so exquisite that they may carry you away: You are not likely to remain unaffected by their raw intensity and unmatched beauty. We don't believe that anything that lies beyond this page is obscene - we don't think you'll disagree with us - and, to the contrary, what we invite you to view with us is an exciting and stimulating world of adult beauty and sex, of conquest and submission, of wordless rapture and sublime delight, all emerging from the most essential, basic, and natural drives within each of us, developed to their full adult intensity.

Good heavens! That's quite a come-on! Does the site deliver?

To some extent. It does have a lot of models and lots of content. Over 500 videos and tens of thousands of pics. Updates are being delivered six days a week, with around 5 videos and over a thousand pics. The majority of the content is solo-girl interviews, stripping and masturbation, though there's also plenty of boy-girl to satisfy that niche as well. The technical quality is pretty good, but not outstanding (high res pics are 1000x1500 and quite sharp at that size; video is formatted at 640x480 and around 1500 kb/s), and there are decent options available (download zip sets, browse at different resolutions). 

The layout is fairly simple and includes a decent search function that lets you move through different categories like toys, uniforms, and (kind of weird given the sort of site this is) mature. You can look for women of different age ranges, involved in different kinds of action, and based on whether or not they have a hairy pussy. (Another side note: Along with the dissolving definition of what it means to be "mature," does anyone know what "hairy" refers to? We found hairy girls here, and on other sites, where the labia are fully shaved and there's just a bit of bush on top. Is that hairy? Digression over.)

The navigation is not all it could be. For example, if you find a video of a girl you like, from the video page you have to click on a link to her model page and then look for the photo set that you think goes with that particular video. They should be together. Another, more serious, criticism we had of the site was the generic quality of the sets. That may not sound like a big thing, but aside from the odd trip to the kitchen and various other places, it seems most of the content is shot on the same couch or bedroom. It gets to seem boring. We also thought that some of the videos spent way too much time with interviews. In fact some videos are basically all interview, a point which it is sometimes hard to know beforehand because there is virtually no thumbnailing and there are no scene descriptions.

In other words, the ultimate effect is that of a kind of "warehouse" site. Now this isn't too bad. Warehouses have lots of stuff in them and Karup's certainly knows how to pump out the quantity. But we just weren't blown away by there anything special about it all, from the not-so-mature matures to the repeated trips to those old porn stand-bys the couch and the bed.

Bottom line: OW? OK.
