What is so great about porno carioca (pornô carioca)? What kind of name is "carioca porn" anyway? Wouldn't we get tired of watching the same old, scripted and staged professional pornography, one after the other? Don't we want something more natural, more realistic, more accessible? Then you are in luck. Amateur pornography is now in its golden age. One of the best things about being alive is the fact that amateur porn is more easily accessible than ever before, and there are literally fucktons of it on the Web.

In addition to the hundreds of thousands of porn sites that offer traditional porn, there are thousands and thousands of sites that offer amateur porn. Personally, I tend to prefer handmade pornography to that produced by professional studios. This is because it is more realistic. The girls are actually being pleasured and having real orgasms, and there are no countless fake breasts or smiling Barbie dolls.

Not that fake boobs are inherently bad. I just want boobs that don't burst and fly off silicone when I squeeze them too hard. If you want natural boobs, real orgasms, and real chemistry, amateur porn is the perfect place for you. Plus, there's something voyeuristic and irresistible about it.

The homemade feel of the filming (less-than-perfect image quality, shaky camera, poor acting) makes it seem as if it's something you're not supposed to see. Of course, at least most of the time it's not true (it's increasingly common for couples to upload pornography to the Internet together), but I still really like the atmosphere.

Real Fucking Chicks in Brazil

More to the point, there are websites dedicated to offering only Brazilian porn. This means that your odds of seeing a video of a girl you know are automatically exponentially higher. That girl whose eyes met yours for a moment on the bus. That girl you might have a sex tape of; that girl you were in a writing class with in first grade. Keep an eye out for her.

On sites like Porno Carioca, you can see these Brazileiras in real situations, really fucking each other. They have a huge archive of amateur porn, all filmed in Brazil ... Hence the name. It is a porn tube site. But not just any porn tube site. Here's what the folks at Porno Carioca have to say: "Porno Carioca is a collection of the best Brazilian porn." "We are ranked #1 for quality porn videos, erotic stories, and amateur photos."

Porno Carioca uploads content daily and has thousands and thousands of videos, films and photos. It primarily offers amateur videos and photos, but also has an extensive collection of professionally produced pornographic films. I'm a bit OCD and tend to favor a more minimalist vibe.

As for the media player, again, it's pretty standard. It does everything you need it to do: play, pause, full screen, etc. There are no special features. But even so, it works well. I had no problems with slow buffering times or broken links. And that is definitely more than I can say about some of the sites I have seen.

Plus, you can rate videos as a guest (there doesn't seem to be a user registration or membership option), which is always nice. And below the videos, Porno Cariocas offers a smattering of related videos to choose from... Helping us maintain a never-ending search for that perfect video.

The category list also conveniently follows you wherever you go on the site, so you don't have to go through the hassle of clicking back to the "Categories" section and start looking for something completely different. I snarked earlier that the category list is a bit sloppy, but I can't argue with the fact that every time I click on a new video I'm thankful it's there.

This site could do so much more.

I think this site is doing quite effectively. My biggest issue is that I would like to see more done. It's kind of like ...... It feels small. It feels unfinished. Like something is missing. In fact, I think several things are missing. Some of those things I thought were already standard with regards to what is automatically built into porn sites.

The first thing missing from the site is the ability to register as a user. Porn fans these days want to be able to customize their experience as much as possible. How about adding a feature for that? I'm not looking for an elaborate social networking or dating feature (which is fine, since the site is only for Brazilians), but just being able to save videos and create playlists would be enough.

Why not double (maybe even triple) the content by allowing users to upload videos of themselves and their partners on a site that aims to provide a large amount of Brazilian amateur content? One of the coolest things about the Internet is that it provides a platform for people to produce their own pornography and share it with the world (in Porno Carioca's case, primarily their own country). Adding this feature seems like a no-brainer.

Additionally, it would be nice if users could discuss the videos in the comments. For example, if you don't know who a certain girl is, you can post a comment like "Who is she." and someone will eventually give you the answer. As a site dedicated to Brazil, I would like to see a device that fosters a sense of community and camaraderie among users.

A sense of active user participation is also important.
