URLGalleries

Historically speaking, the oldest way pornography has been rendered and enjoyed is in picture form. Of course, this has mostly been carvings made on cave walls, fresco paintings, and mosaics. However, more recently, erotica has helped along with the creation of new ways to make and share arousing images.

In fact, it was porn that drove the development of the handheld camera, advanced the creation of the internet, and is one of the reasons HD cameras are standard on mobile phones. With a century of development and an uncountable number of companies and amateurs taking adult pics in that time, there may be petabytes of porn out there.

If you think we are exaggerating, check out URL Galleries, but before you do that, continue reading our review to get an idea of what you are going to see.

A Website Which Is Almost As Old As YouTube

The first uploads to this platform started in 2006. The idea of URL Galleries was and is pretty simple: add galleries of gorgeous women for all to see for free. For some reason, the only adjustments made to the site about once every three years, and has not strayed too much from the original look.

While simplistic in terms of its design and the content is hosted, this website did manage to get a following over the years. In fact, there are now over 100,000 pages of porn, each of which has dozens of photos each.

The Design Has Not Been Upgraded In A While

As we said, this website has a history of being upgraded, or really more of toyed with, rarely. We understand that if something is not broken, do not bother to mess with it, but there some issues we have with URL Galleries' appearance.

To be honest, with a well-made vector graphics-based site icon, the use of different light blues on the main pages, and the aesthetics are not too bad. Having said that, it does not really stand out compared to far flashier imageboards.

When you click on a link to a full gallery, the background changes color based on the uploader's customization. In some ways, we think giving members this option is sort of cool. But it can be a bit jarring when you click on a gallery, and your eyes are blasted with lavender, mustard yellow, and magenta.

Each preview of a gallery does have plenty of pictures each, icons telling you if a post is new, lists of tags and categories. Just be ready to click a few times on a link to get access to a full photoset.

There Are Plenty Of Photo Galleries

Some people might think that picture porn is a limited form of adult entertainment since there is no dialogue, no clear plot, and the subtext is limited. But if you have not checked a site like URL Galleries out, you would be surprised by how many kinds of kink stuff you will see.

The galleries on this site, in particular, include single women, lesbian shots, and heterosexual pairings. So, you are going to see ladies posing in lingerie, same-sex female colors pleasuring themselves all sort s of ways, as well as all the usual sexy stuff you see in mainstream porn.

To give you an idea of what that means there are tons of women showing off their t*ts with their partner, being teases, and doing oral. Of course, there are plenty of pictures of girls getting drilled in a number of different positions.

Some Of The Categories And Tags Are Interesting

Overall, this site does not have much stuff that would be considered erotic or extreme. We have only looked at a small percentage of the site, but we are pretty sure that the wildest thing you are going to see is a girl covered in tattoos pegging another woman.

While there is a diversity of photos that feature all kinds of costumes, toys, and sets, when it comes to categories, there is nothing way out of the ordinary. That may disappoint people with more exotic tastes, but the vanilla categories still have some pretty good sections like Hardcore, Big-T*ts, and Complete Sets.

The tags are a bit better since they include more detailed descriptions of what you are going to and often include the professional performer’s name. You can click on a category or tag to see all galleries with those labels, but unfortunately, there is no separate category page that lists them all.

The Search Tools Are Basically Non-Existent

You would think that since this site is so old and has so much content, you would think there would be several ways to find content. Sadly, rather than have a robust search engine, the search tool only finds hits on two criteria: relevance and date.

To be fair, if you look for pics, you usually will get relevant links. But with so many galleries to choose from, you are going to have to do a lot of scrolling to find the ideal series of photoshoots.

Highlighting The Positives And Negatives

Besides the lack of additional pages which we think are mandatory – i.e., category section, about us, contact us – there are no other ways to filter results. There are several other problems which we showed touch on, too.

For one, virtually every page is covered in commercial banners form top to bottom. Further, if you click on a link, you are going to have to do so several times to get access – and each time you do, you are going to unleash a flood of popups and redirects.

On top of that, other parts of the site, like switching search tools can be non-responsive, too.

Still, we estimate that the are several million pictures that feature some of the finest female talent in the adult scene over the past several years. While they are not terribly kinky, we think that there is wank content that will appeal to most people.

Do Not Expect The Mobile Experience To Get Any Better

Since the web designers have put the bare minimum amount of effort into maintaining the desktop version and that this site predates the smartphone revolution, you can guess what URL Galleries looks like on mobile.

To be fair, you will have to put up with less frustration when opening up a gallery. But there you will still have to deal with some popups. To make things even worse, the layout of pictures is even worse.

On the desktop variant of the site, pictures are not even in terms of size and load in a sort of helter-skelter way. This wacky design looks even goofier if you look at this site on handheld devices.

The Upgrades We Would Make Include The Following

Obviously, this website needs some improvement in nearly every way. For one, we would standardize the color scheme used on every page. We would also adjust the preview pictures, so they have roughly the same dimensions without stretching or warping them.

While the quality of the images are generally excellent, it is unfortunate that you cannot get a full image. So, since this is a gallery site, we would have an in-tab pop on gallery to scroll through instead of the old-school forum look.

With so many uploaders with torrents of porn that have several tags attached, there needs to be a separate category page. Furthermore, there needs to be more advanced filter tools to restrict the number of hits and increasing the specificity of the content. With so many pictures, we feel that a random pic button would be another great inclusion.

We would upgrade all of these things to the mobile version, and do a complete optimization as well. As a side, despite what the homepage suggests, there is no video section to switch over to.

Lastly, the amount of spam needs to be toned down, and we would load the banner ads to the sides of each page.

Do We Give This Website Our Endorsement?

If you are casually looking for high-quality pictures of porn, this site can be a decent platform. There is no need to pay money or even signup, which is great. However, finding specific kinds of content can be tricky since there is so much material and very limited search tools.

If you are a person who can accept that trade-off or just want tons of free erotic imagery, we can say that you will enjoy URL Galleries. But with so many problems, we can only give this site two and a half hands out of five.
