Overview:
Aussie women are known for their healthy sexual appetites and relatively easy-going approach to sexual relationships. They may not be notoriously promiscuous like Catalan girls, or as intimidatingly beautiful as Russian goddesses, but Australian girls sure know how to have a good time. They drink as much as men, don’t think twice about swanning around in a skimpy outfit or bikini, and spend plenty of time in the great outdoors, soaking up the sun for a healthy, hearty glow. Australia is also known as a multi-cultural melting pot and, with many young women having Indian, Cuban, Chinese, Italian, and Dutch heritage, the chances of hooking up with a unique girl each time you’re out on the prowl is extremely high. Take Girls Out West, as an example; there, you’ll find blonde beach babes, busty Italian-Australian beauties, tattooed rock ‘n’ rollers, naturally hirsute country bumpkins, and slim Chinese-Australian geek girls with a penchant for thick dildos. Girls Out West is an Australian-run website that features Aussie girls and international visitors in all manner of sexual situations. Posing nude outdoors, pleasuring themselves with their bare hands or a phallic tool, making out and making love with each other, and fucking their fellas, these homegrown girls take great pride in presenting their audience with an honest and compelling view of female sexuality. That’s all well and good, but is it hot?

After logging in to the members’ area of Girls Out West – “made by women, made with passion” – you’ll be greeted by a nicely designed homepage that imparts sensuality and femininity without ever giving you the impression that you’ll only find boring softcore material here. A pictorial list of recent updates is shown on the left, news items and feature presentations sit in the middle of the page, and on the right you’ll find details of upcoming updates and a Video of the Week. Scattered around the rest of this main page are such items as a customer feedback oriented Question of the Week, Most Viewed Model, Top Rated Model, Pic of the Day, Eden’s Journals, and Recent Forums Posts. There’s a menu bar at the top of the page that will act as your main navigational tool, pointing you to Solo Girls, Girl/Girl, Girl/Boy, Videos, Behind the Scenes, Stories, Extras, Forums, and About Annie (the woman who put this whole Girls Out West thing together). Annie claims to be interested in “running around, and having wild adventures with [her] marvelous models,” and “enjoying our bodies and putting our sexuality into the world for your pleasure. (And I really love the thought of people masturbating to my work!)” Well, Annie, let’s hope your work is hot enough to get the Mr. Pink’s seal of beat-off-ability.

One of the newest updates on the site features Barbarella, a statuesque 24-year-old blonde who is a newcomer to the world of adult entertainment and, as a result of first-time nerves, only appears in this scene by herself. Each model is given a nice profile page where you can read about their sexual experiences, fantasies, and preferences, and even rate them and their work on a scale of 1 to 5. All of the model’s Videos and Photo Sets are listed on their profile page, and you’re given a good preview of each so you’re not forced to download content you’re not sure you’ll like. Like many of the galleries on Girls Out West, Barbarella’s debut is softcore erotica with a naturalist, realistic slant. She poses in what appears to be a public restroom, first in a light pink dress, then in her panties, before finally disrobing completely and playing with her pussy. Other models go a lot further, bringing sex toys into their masturbation sessions, fucking other men and/or women, and generally getting more explicit and definitely hardcore. That variety is, in fact, one of Girls Out West’s strongest selling points. As long as you’re not expecting tarted-up bimbos with breast implants and botoxed lips, you’ll find something to sink your teeth into here. The models themselves come in a range of shapes and sizes, too. If you’re not a fan of girls with tattoos and piercings, you still have plenty of models that haven’t modified their body in such ways.

Photo galleries present images that reach fantastic resolutions of around 1333x2000 pixels and look wonderfully clear and vibrant. Much of the lighting seems natural and shows off the beauty of the models. Zip downloads are available, as are automated slideshows, but you can still view the galleries via the old fashioned thumbnail display. Currently, the site contains about 800 galleries; they’re updated every two to five days. Videos number just under 1000 (some are parts of the same update) and arrive on the site at roughly the same frequently as the galleries. Video quality is very good and videos usually come in three formats: MPG, WMV, and MP4, which hit resolutions between 480x360 and 768x432 pixels. There may be a video upgrade in the near future – it was the topic of this week’s Question of the Week – so let’s hope Annie comes through and delivers some High Definition footage for us all to gawk at. The videos are generally very enjoyable, but the softcore ones occasionally get a bit dull and act as behind the scenes clips. Most of the time, however, the videos are thoroughly arousing and entertaining. It’s almost a voyeuristic experience, looking into the sex lives of women who aren’t often presented in such an explicitly sexual fashion.

Aside from the main photo and video content, there’s also quite a bit of supplemental material on Girls Out West, including Behind The Scenes pics and videos, Annie’s Blog (which reads like a confessional sex column and includes pictures), a Stories page with erotic literature and tales from Girls Out West shoots, and, of course, a Forum, where you’ll be able to talk not only with Annie and the other members, but the models, too. Many of the models get a real kick out of conversing with their fans and end up spending quite a bit of time getting to know exactly what the guys and girls that watch them get off on. All of this will cost you $25 for a recurring monthly membership, or $29.50 for a non-recurring single month of access. You know that the Brits first settled Australia as a penal colony, right? You reckon Annie’s tryin’ to screw you or what? Read the followin’ and find out, mate!

Pros:
- Updates might be tad irregular, but they do arrive often!

- The Australian (and international) girls featured at Girls Out West are truly natural beauties.

- There are lots of videos and galleries to enjoy, with both soft and hardcore content.

- This is one site that doesn’t lack fan/model communication. Annie runs her site with a very friendly, communal M.O.

Cons:
- You’re bound to find a handful of girls unattractive or, even worse, dull.

- There are no streaming videos available yet.

- Video resolutions could be a bit higher; hopefully that’s an update that’ll be made soon.

Conclusion:
Girls Out West has a fairly hefty task to accomplish, thanks to webmistress Annie’s lofty goals of channeling real and honest depictions of female sexuality onto the small screen. Already in competition with a couple of other sites with a similar M.O, Girls Out West struggles to break through as the number one site in its niche. It does, however, have some truly beautiful models starring in thoroughly enjoyable content. If you’re a fan of English-speaking women with non-American accents, you’ll definitely get a kick out of watching these ladies disrobe, pose, eat each other out, and fuck a boyfriend, all the while regaling you with details of their lives, sexual histories, and how “fucking awesome” cocks feel when they pound into their snatches. With a few general upgrades around the site, Girls Out West will definitely be able to hold its head high and be proud of what it’s bringing to online porn – something honest and exciting.
