NOVEMBER 2005 RE-VISIT

Well, it's been a couple of years since we last checked out this site, so the webmaster (that is, Sammy) got in touch with us for a re-visit. Thing is, we don't have too much to add. We still think Sammy is one of the best cam-girl, party-girl, swinger, hardcore amateurs on the Internet. The site has lots of personality, lots of content (hard to believe she's been at it since 1999), and is reasonably priced. We'd just note a few things:

--site design has been cleaned up and now it's pretty easy to move around the different sections. It's not always easy to find what you want though. Categories like "anal," "blowjobs," and "hardcore" obviously overlap a bit. And while there's a search function, it didn't seem to be working that well. We typed in "creampie" (which is one of Sammy's specialties) and were directed to five of her lesbian sets. Go figure. 

--loads of content, with a new photo update and video update every week, plus twice-weekly camshows and a housecam. Over 200 full movies in the movie section. Around 15,000 pics.         

--this is a live site. In addition to the cams and other updates, the members bulletin board (a.k.a. Sammy's journal) is one of the most active we've ever seen, which is always a good sign. Except for those sites where all the threads have subject lines like "How long do we have to wait for the next fucking update?" That's not a good sign. But that's not happening here. Here you'll get plenty of responsiveness and lots of good interaction. You really get to know your hostess, which is a big plus. 

--all the new video they've been adding has a playback of over 700 kb/s and a screen size of 720x480. Which is quite impressive. And if you want (that is, if you are stuck with a modem) you can also download low-res versions as well.

A few complaints: (1) more thumbnails for the videos are needed; (2) even with the excellent new videos the picture started to get choppy when there was a lot of fast movement; (3) they haven't re-formatted the old video, so the real old stuff, going back several years, looks kind of grim by today's standards; (4) like a lot of "couples" amateur sites, most of the hardcore/blowjob movies are shot POV by Sammy's husband Brett or from a fixed camera position. This is a real limitation in terms of what kind of shots you can get, editing, lighting, etc. If you're a fan of amateur action then you'll know what to expect. Still, it would be nice if they could get someone to hold the camera for them more often. (We'd volunteer, but we don't live anywhere near Florida.)

OK, it's not a perfect site. But then you don't expect an authentic solo amateur site to be perfect. You just want it to be as good as this.

OCTOBER 2003 REVIEW

Sammy4U is the homepage of a cute little stripper (4'9" and D-cup boobs) with a bright attitude and a lot of charm. Fans of the online swinger scene will be familiar with her from her appearances with girls like Kat Vixen, Corina Curves, and Naughty Allie (to name just a few). Working with her husband Brett--a stunt dick who actually shows his face!--Sammy has put together a fun site with a nice selection of content.

We first visited this site around a year ago, and this re-visit was to check out the latest improvements. These improvements have been pretty dramatic, especially in technical terms. You can now watch the videos full screen without a problem, and the photos are consistently better too. All of the older content is still there, but you will notice a difference between the earlier material and the latest stuff. 

The pics are arranged in around 200 personal galleries. The range of action (which is often the same as for the videos) is really impressive. There is boy-girl, lesbian, group, a bit of kink (enemas, peeing, speculums), and solo masturbation. You'll find some novelty "machine sex" sets too, as Sammy gets a work out from the "Drilldo" and "Thrillhammer." There is a bit of an emphasis on nipple pinching and anal throughout (both with Brett and a variety of toys). In the photo section there are also quite a few party and event galleries (these pics are never as good, but you have to expect that). Sammy seems to be a party girl. She is often shown holding a drink. We suspect Sammy drinks a lot.

There were well over 100 movie files when we visited. The older ones are of decent quality and vary in length from 1 to 7 minutes. Some of these were choppy, and all suffered from the fixed camera and lack of editing found in a lot of basic amateur sites, but the picture quality was pretty good. The latest movies are quite a bit larger and play full screen well. They usually run 10-20 minutes and involve Sammy and Brett or Sammy and a girlfriend. But as with the photos there is a rich variety.

The site design is still a little cluttered. You access everything from the main page, including 19 text links to licensed content and seven thumbnail links to external sites. In our opinion, it's better to keep the Extras off the main page (hey, they're not why you joined). There are also two support links that go to the same e-mail address. Simplify!

Sammy is a cam girl--maybe even primarily a cam girl--and does shows twice a week (Mondays and Fridays). Fans of that action take note. You can watch her previous cam shows in a special archive (but these have to be viewed as streams). She is also a member of the HouseCamz network, but we didn't check that out. Most of the licensed extras weren't worth bothering with. The "About Me" section is kept up-to-date and personal. It doesn't look like it would be that hard to get to meet Sammy with all the traveling she does. "69 things about me" is a fun kind of bio, but still has the same horrible spelling and grammar as the last time we dropped in.

Despite this carelessness (it has to be carelessness: we can't believe she thinks Loch Ness is all one word), nothing really dims the bright personality that shines through. Sammy just radiates a sense of cheery fun. Her site is a strong personal effort that shows a lot of dedication.
