The
Adult Coalition - "TAC Amateurs"
The Adult Coalition website is a network of individual
websites, mostly following three or four basic templates, where
amateur women show some skin to Internet surfers seeking amateur
content. Sign up for any one of these sites, and your
membership allows you to view them all.
We were unable to discern how many sites are a part of the TAC
network, but we estimate it to be around 50, with at least 34 for
sure. The promotional pages suggest there is 103 Gigabytes
of data, which we can't confirm but won't dispute. We found
lots of images (hundreds of thousands) and scores of videos,
including no shortage of hardcore (boy-girl, girl-girl,
swingers/group) stuff - but no male homosexual stuff save some
tranny models that come close. There's a lot under the hood
here.

First, as a reminder, as with all of our reviews, we didn't
solicit or receive a free membership to do this report and we have
no advertisers, so we are not beholden to advertisers or those
handing out 'comp' memberships to curry favor with us, the
reviewers. We give you the honest truth and leave the sugar
coating to others - and with some "adult website review"
websites, there is enough sugar coating to leave a diabetic in a
coma.
These women really are amateurs ranging widely in
attractiveness, age and type of content available. Some,
like Janey and Tracey Lain are very pretty and wild little vixens
that most men (and maybe a few women) would love to be married to
or at least claim as a girlfriend anyway (okay, would cheerfully
masturbate to photos of them posing nude and having wild sex with
men other than their spouses and other women). In fact,
Janey is probably the most well-known of all of the TAC sites and
has the most photos (gazillions it seems) of any of the sites we
saw. Janey is a doll!
Like the women, the photos and video vary widely in quality and
appearance. Some of the cutest girls have tiny (sub-480x640)
photos or poor quality video captures (defined as instantly
recognizable as recorded video stills). In this day and age
of decent quality consumer digital cameras costing under $200,
there is no excuse for the addition of new, recently taken
horribly low-resolution photos on a pay site.

These were some of
the best photos from
each girl. |
As we mentioned earlier, these women do show skin. The
larger question in front of us is whether some of the women at TAC
should be photographed in a state of undress. There
are some things that are better off not recorded, like the distant
cousins dumping their RV's sewage tank into the storm drain in
front of your house on Christmas morning. ...Or residents of
a nursing home showering.
If fair to average is your thing (we've all dated a couple of
these at one time or another) then you're at the right place as
most of the women at TAC are either average or below.
While navigating we found ourselves entering our
username/password repeatedly. And new windows pop open every
time you turn around it seems. In no time we had seven
windows open. The good news is that there are thumbs of some
of the girls in their latest updates so you didn't waste your time
visiting the truly ugly (unless you have to do a review and sample
them anyway) and opening even more windows.
We were pleasantly surprised by video feeds from a number of
sources, perhaps most prominently, Homegrown Video.
In conclusion before we detail the categories, there is a lot
of material at TAC, but you don't have to (or need to) see it all
to leave satisfied. All of us, including Scarlett, would
cheerfully sleep with six or eight of the girls at TAC while sober
(and a few of the boyfriends for Scarlett) and probably a few more
after a couple of beers at closing time, if you know what we mean.
The ratings:
Site quality.
The network is well put together, although we did find many
broken links which we attribute to the individual site owners
overlooking missing, broken or non-existent links (or in a couple
of cases, several complete sets of photos) on the individual web
sites. Their template for sites is rather plain, but simple
isn't a bad thing. Many of the girls had listings for videos
that "were being processed." That was a little
disappointing. (8)
Quantity.
TAC has hundreds of thousands of photos, many of which aren't
worth looking at (and tens of thousands probably shouldn't be
looked at). A handful of the ones we saw were the 1024x768
minimum size we almost come to expect. Most were smaller and
there were lots of video captures on some sites (very
disappointing). (6)
Arousal factor.
Some photos from one of the more attractive ladies,
"Honey4you"
Quite frankly, we feel one would need to take a Viagra to
achieve arousal with some of these women (unless mature BBW's is
your thing). Others, like Janey, Marry, Louise and four or
five others were enough to perk up even our most jaded
judge.
And one from "Bailey Cums."
No thank you, Bailey!
We're giving the arousal factor two extra points for the video
feeds from Homegrown and others. Honestly, we spent a fair
amount of time there. (7)
Updates.
Many, every day. (10)
Content exclusivity.
While the content is supposedly all-original, we have our
doubts about a few of these women - particularly the ones with the
Russian flavor. Others seem to be "side" websites
for members of Southern Charms, etc. (7)
Some of "Classy Carol"
Download friendliness.
You can't download .zips of photos sets (except for some photos
on Janey's site), but the server worked flawlessly and seemed
efficient at getting the requested data back to us. The
movies were downloadable (in fact, on the Firefox browser,
downloading was the default). (7)
Visual appeal.
The site(s) was just fine - better than average. (4)
Navigation.
While the women vary in appearance, all are divided into
genres. Some are fat (BBWs) and some older (mature).
More than a few are indeed ugly enough to stop a clock (they don't
list a genre for fugly, but they should). We also thought
there should have been a comprehensive list of the network's
participants (we didn't find any and we looked).
The pop-ups were bothersome, as were the repeated requests for
our username/password (some sites asking twice or three
times!) (6)
Some of Janey's Web (we told you that she was a wild little
vixen!)
Price.
The site is $29.95 (recurring) for 30 days. (2 per
our grading structure on fees)
Value.
Sure, there are a half-million or more photos, live cams, chat,
hundreds of videos and three to five dozen babes here.
Practically speaking, there is a lot of chaff mixed in with the
wheat at TAC amateurs. We'll give them an extra point for
the related feeds. (6)
Other.
We didn't find anything truly unique, exemplary or exciting at
TAC. (0)
