Overview:
“If you’re looking for rare and alluring EXOTIC girls from around the world, you will find THOUSANDS of them located here in ATK EXOTICS.” Calling itself “the best exotic site on the net” and promising video and photo content in both softcore and hardcore varieties, ATK Exotics’ tour page presents a number of previews that show the kind of women featured on this particular ATK vendor. Although they come from various nations and cultures, all of the models have one thing in common - their uncommon beauty – and while I only recognize one face in this tour area (that of Jelena Jensen), every model is luring me inside, just as they will you. With “all categories covered” (foot fetish, oral sex, female masturbation, flirtatious upskirts and lingerie shots et al), all your desired erotic bases appear to be covered, so let’s dive in headfirst and find out whether you’ll need to loan some travel money or simply throw down the $25 required for ATK Exotics access.

Once you’ve made your way inside ATK Exotics, you’ll probably be a little confused by the page design. With an expansive white background and clunky, garish banners promoting the different parts of the site, there’s not a lot to love, visually speaking, aside from the models. A short news bulletin announces the launch of an app for Android phones; a Quick Jump menu gives you instant access to the various content categories and pages of the model directory; the latest updates are displayed further down the page (once you get past a handful of advertising banners) and that’s really all there is to the navigation system. A website such as this, with the most rudimentary construction and aesthetic, does both a service and disservice to its clients (that’s you guys) by allowing for apparently straightforward browsing while giving the impression (whether or not it’s true) of being poorly maintained. Even if the content is killer, the way in which said content is delivered to the audience is a key component of an adult website. Another key component is tits.

Taking a trip through the model index probably won’t result in you experiencing a handful of masturbatory déjà vu moments. After only a few minutes digging through the list of performers, both professional and amateur, I discovered only two models with whom I was already intimately familiar. Most of the women featured here are brand new to the porn game and have likely only worked for ATK, at least at this, what is obviously an early point in their careers. Calling them “fresh-faced” would immediately conjure up images of youthful beauties blessed with flawless skin and sparkling eyes; sadly that isn’t always the case here at ATK Exotics. The models are exotic, sure, in the sense that their origins lie in a wide variety of the world’s nations, but there’s dullness to their appearance that is rather hard to ignore. Some of you, my beloved readers (wherever, whoever you are), are sure to be keen on such women, preferring an honest girl-next-door look to the more professional sheen of the aforementioned Jelena Jensen. Luckily, both can be found here if you’re willing to look hard enough. Therein, said the tortoise to the hare, lies the rub.

Upon opening the Photo Galleries page, members will find that content is divided into two distinct categories – Softcore and Hardcore. The Softcore section lists the different nationalities of models as well as some rather odd classifications (Ghetto, Nudism, Dime Pieces). Hardcore keeps things a bit simpler with the range of sexual activities performed in said galleries each given a link. Everything from Action (meaning straight sex) and Blowjob to Interracial and Toys is available. Once clicked, these links expose a lengthy text list of galleries that adhere to whatever content type you selected. (Now this is where navigation gets needlessly involved.) From this text list, you’ll once again need to make a selection that only gets you a single step closer to the photographic goods, requiring you to glance over yet another text list before finally selecting your desired gallery. What lies inside said gallery?

Each photoshoot is presented on a gallery page with clickable thumbnails varying in size and shape that open at a default resolution of 600x800 pixels. An automated slideshow option lets you lean back and enjoy the ride and downloadable zip archives allow you to save every shot for a later viewing date. (You might even want to put on your “nice pants” and light a few candles if she’s, you know, “special”.) Easily one of the most rewarding aspects of an ATK Exotics membership is the delightfully frank and clean photography that’s provided in the following resolutions: 600px, 800px, 1000px, and a Plain Image, which hits 1066x1600 pixels. These shots, especially the larger ones, look great and present the women well, though they’re occasionally bathed in unflattering lighting and clumsy wardrobe choices. There’s no reason to believe that satisfaction won’t be coming to most anyone looking for a little vicarious sex tourism.

The video content is unfortunately presented in the same clumsy and confusing manner as the image galleries, with Softcore and Hardcore again being the initial division. Once again, you’re inundated with text-based menus – when it comes to porn sites, nothing seems so useless – and finding models that fit your preferred racial aesthetic can be somewhat detrimental to your goal of having a good ol’ strokefest. (Nothing kills erections as quickly as a tsunami of boring text on what should be an attractive, enticing, graphic-heavy website.) Are the Persian girls you so passively lust after tucked away in Volume 16? What about Volume 229? Maybe 114 holds the key to your circle-fisted afternoon meditation… then again, maybe not. Once you do get around to finding the vids you want, you’ll be able to view them in chapters and/or as a full-length clip; it varies from scene to scene, but you’re usually restricted to chapters. Why full-length downloads are beyond the reach of the ATK webmasters is beyond me. If they can manage such high photo resolutions, surely videos that runs over ten minutes shouldn’t be out of reach. The provided WMV and MOV files hit resolutions of 640x480 and go no higher. Furthermore, the audio heard on the MOVs is tinny and somewhat garbled. Best stick with the WMVs, methinks.

A little earlier I described the typical ATK Exotics model as truly having that girl-next-door look, but I suppose that only applies if you live in a fairly multicultural neighborhood. With Africans, Native Americans, Asians, Indians, Eastern Europeans, and pretty much every other racial designation you can think of, this is one site that truly adheres to its premise. With a largely unimpressive site design, navigation system, and technical content quality, the biggest draw card ATK Exotics holds is the various nationalities of their models. They've assembled a truly impressive cast of International beauties and that is definitely something to be commended. ATK Exotics would normally cost you $29.99 for a 30-day membership, but thanks to the persistent bartering of one Mr. Pink, you can save a few bucks and grab a month’s membership for $24.95; furthermore, you can save even more by grabbing either the 60 or 90-day membership options. Does ATK Exotics reach the high level of satisfaction that we porn fans require our smut peddling web vendors reach? Only Mr. Pink has the honest, direct, trustworthy answer!

Pros:
- “God bless America and everywhere else!” Chris Rock said it in Head of State; ATK Exotics put it into action. The models hail from all over the world and do a great job representing their homelands by way of stunning good looks and vivacious displays of sexuality.

- The content archives are certainly expansive.

- Updates arrived multiple times a day so there’s always something new to set your peepers on.

- Photos are delivered via a number of viewing options, including three clear and attractive image resolutions.

Cons:
- Many of the models seem closer to what you might see on the National Geographic channel during an episode on the slums of various nations. Yikes!

- Sure, downloadable zips are great, but not when they’re separated into individual pages of each gallery.

- Content is purported to be exclusive, but that’s occasionally not the case.

- Towards the end of this review I found myself wanting to retract my donation to Save The Children every time I was hit with a page of text links.

Conclusion:
ATK Exotics badly needs a redesign. Shit, get some of those IKEA or Apple folks on the team and this could be the greatest multicultural adult site on the planet, but as it currently exists, it’s a very frustrating place to attempt sexual satisfaction. Page after page of dull text links mean you’ll soon be sick to death of reading and hit the Xbox, but I wouldn’t be at all surprised if, while bashing some HD-rendered dude’s head in, you’ll think back to someone you saw at ATK Exotics and feel a warm rush of global awareness… and a boner. There’s an honesty and integrity to these models that makes them linger in your mind, heart, loins long after you’ve logged out of the members’ area and that’s a very hard thing to quantify. It’s a quality that is undeniably present at ATK Exotics.
