A+ In Amateur Arts: How To Find Quality Amateur Porn Videos

Do you love amateur porn, but hate waiting for the daily amateur Flesh Flick? With our handy How-To guide, you too can browse the annals of amateur action with ease and grace.

You have XTube, yuvutu, Megaporn, RedTube, YouPorn, PornHub, and countless other sites at your disposal; statistically, you should be able to find a fap-worthy video or two. However, the internet is a cloudy and mysterious place, and it's easy to be lead astray with promises of free amateur action, real ex-girlfriends, secret sextapes salvaged from old cameras, and other erotic red herrings.

Don't get us wrong, we're more than happy to shepherd you from site to site so you can graze on the grasses of high quality amateur sex. We relish the opportunity! Still, we want everyone to feel capable of navigating through the grainy clips to find something valuable. Remember: you have the power. Before we begin…

Steel yourself. You will probably see things you did not intend to and, most likely, things you never wanted to. A video may have an innocuous or misleading name that masks its true substance; don't be surprised if the one called "Fun Times At Home" is just about a grown man peeing on flip-flops (true story). Most importantly, don't be discouraged by videos that make you uncomfortable. The goal is to find the one amazing clip amidst the hundreds of lame or disturbing ones.

Are you looking for something specific? Is there a particular fetish you'd like to indulge? Every site does searches differently, but there are a couple of things that apply to all of them.

Include "amateur" in your search. This might seem like an obvious one, but it can make all the difference between finding quality amateur smut and finding poorly copied professional porn. Some sites, such as yuvutu, provide a simple dropdown menu to filter out store-bought goods from the homemade stuff.

Have your thesaurus nearby. Say you're looking for babes wearing stockings, so you type in "stockings" and "amateur" into the search bar. You'll probably find fifty videos of men jerking off with pantyhose. However, searching for the word "maid" will produce babes wearing black thigh-high stockings. Want a babe with glasses? Search for "secretary" or "teacher" or even just "nerd"; you get the idea.

Not looking for anything specific? If you're just taking a stroll down Lechery Lane, you're probably going to click through page after page of videos until you find something you like. To be perfectly honest, this brute force method is how we usually approach video finding, especially when searching for Flesh Flicks. Still, you can ease the process by...

Organizing the clips by duration. This is most useful with XTube and YouPorn. Search for something incredibly vague (even the most indecisive amateur enthusiast can think of something like "blowjob"), and organize the clips from longest to shortest. The long videos are, well, long, and are generally good quality (unless some cruel user uploaded eight minutes of fuzzy fellatio). Videos on the short side tend to be site-sponsored teaser clips designed to make you buy something (XTube videos of exactly one minute or fifteen seconds link to a page where you purchase the full video) or lead you to a professional site.

Avoiding users who have uploaded tons of videos. This isn't always solid advice; some people are genuinely prolific pornographers. However, you should be aware that the guy who put up twenty videos in the last half hour probably ripped clips from professional flicks, or even from other amateur sex sites.

Some notes on quality control. Porn is all about personal preference; there's no objective erotic value system you can place on a sex scene of any sort (those star ratings every site uses are just too dubious). Still, we'd like to share some questions we ask ourselves before posting any video.

Is it amateur? We can't recognize every pornstar (honestly, you readers are better at it than we are), but there are little signs that hint at high-production values. Are there extra people in the room, maybe holding cameras, talking, trying to not be involved? Is someone taking pictures during filming? Do the actors avoid looking directly at the camera? Questions like these may reveal that the video is just a low-quality clip of pornstars in action, or material from a professional company striving for the amateur look.

Can you see anything? Picture quality, lighting, framing, etc. Romantic lighting is great for the participants, but not so helpful for viewers. Also, what are you looking at? People enjoy filming minute after minute of extremely close-up sex, and that's cool sometimes, but we get bored of it easily. It's nice to see bodies, faces, even rooms!

Can you hear anything? No sound = no good. Not every video needs to have include moaning, grunting, and screaming orgasms, but every video should have the potential for noise. The video in which you hear only the static hum of silent sex is infinitely more erotic than the video of a muted orgy.
