Hello everyone,

Basically, title. It used to be easy to find real amateur stuff (and not the obvious staged scenes) using a few keywords like “girlfriend”, “she sucks me”, “my wife”, etc., but it seems that nowadays it’s much harder to find legit stuff, and professional content is pushed much more.

I even tried to find back a video by typing the exact title in Xhamster, it would return pages and pages of other stuff instead.

I guess we will have to resort to link sharing communities here to be able to find the jewels in that mass of content again.

    This all happened in the past few years because of cp, sex trafficking, and revenge porn laws and regulations. A lot of sites found it much easier to just remove non-verified content than to go through all their content trying to discern what was legal and what was not.

    Yeah a lot of “amateur” content is gone, but also hopefully more minors and adults are protected from having non- consentual porn of them posted online.

    I agree. I think it’s been like this since the great pornhub wipe.

    I’m also interested in where to find true amateur content. I feel that a lot of OF content is too “produced” and doesn’t really give that amateur vibe.

      I guess at some point the recommendations communities from Reddit will open here in addition to the content ones (a la gonewild).

      I might create one at some point but don’t hold your breath, I’m pretty busy with other SFW communities already

      I always feel like OF (from what I’ve seen, not really a user) lack spontaneity. My usually goto is content where you can see that both people involved actually enjoyed the moment, and usually OF you can see that it’s not really the case and there is an ulterior move (I mean, of course there is)

    There’s plenty out there, not like it was, but it’s there.

    Check tblop and hit up smaller sites, the big dogs all require verification now so you’re not gonna find amateur stuff there unless it’s to make money

    Everyone is forgetting that phone cameras look better than they did 5-10 years ago. What would have looked amateur then now looks like what was production quality. Without the pixelated/grainy footage, you can’t tell what is or isn’t “amateur”

      As OP mentions it’s not so much about the image quality. It’s about watching two people (or more) have sex because they are horny and having fun. A lot of stuff nowadays is staged and/or clearly made as a product to consume for others. To make others horny. And the people in the video are just doing the motions.

      A couple years ago my PH favourites and recommendations would be full of amateur videos of couples just enjoying themselves and just so happening to be recording it. Now pretty much all of it is/feels staged and fake.

      I get why. It all gets too messy with regards to consent and age when the accounts uploading and the people in the video aren’t verified. But I do miss the genuine amateur content.

      Good point, but just based on the setting, potential lights, and the way the women (I usually watch POV) behaves, you can see if it’s staged or not.

    Wasn’t a lot of the amateur stuff taken without the woman’s knowledge or consent and used as revenge?

    Yeah fine, the produced stuff is a bit boring and way too over the top, but as a consumer but I’d rather the porn be published with everyone’s consent, and if not for fun then for all parties involved’s profit.

      Taken without the consent, on the stuff that usually watch, the guy has to literally hold the phone in front of him, so I guess she was at least aware.

      Consent of publication is a whole other matter, I’m completely with you on that one.

        It’s difficult to find on OF because most of the top accounts are the very over-produced staged content. But there are smaller creators doing more casual amateur content where both people have a good time. Also when it comes to both people in the video enjoying themselves I’ve found that “female-friendly” porn more often hits the mark than the regular pro stuff.

            Also, if you’re not against paying a bit for your porn, Abby Winters always has some very genuine/heartwarming girl-girl and boy-girl couple videos. It’s professionally produced but it’s very much got that amateur vibe. Might be worth checking out the free preview stuff to see if it’s something up your alley.
