I can understand how fans of amateur models might feel discouraged about different softcore nude sites. After all, on these types of sites there is always a photographer who may be trying to mould an amateur into a glamour model and there is almost always a hair and make-up person to enhance an already pretty face. The fact that no hair or make-up artist or wardrobe girl is used on Cosmid is just one of the unique aspects of the content that might interest any amateur-girl fan.
I get a really good vibe as soon as I enter the members' area. The layout is clean and unpretentious, lending a feel of authenticity to the content, and navigation is easy. There's a keyword search and you can sort the photos and videos by date or by rating, and while this would normally be considered no better than the bare minimum, it does fit the site and works very well. The thumbnails and short descriptions that accompany them give you a clear idea of what that update is all about right away.
You can also sort the content by model, and by the model's characteristics: name, rating, age, hair colour, model type and boob and butt sizes. These girls are what really makes Cosmid stand out. They are real women - students, secretaries, waitresses, the occasional ex-con - out there in the real world. The girls frequently take the camera home to shoot their own video. There are scenes with the chicks changing outfits, posing on the bed, showering, or just going for a stroll out in the park. Some get totally nude, most go topless, and a few don't even go that far.
You can currently find 148 models, almost all American, and almost all between the ages of 18 and 23. There are a few older ones, and even a couple of MILFs, but those are exceptions. The archive is made up of around 600 photo sets and close to 400 videos, with a new addition each day. On average, you can count with around 18 new photo sets and 12 new videos on any given month.
The photo sets can have between 60 and 140 images, with a size of 1600x1067 pixels and a sharpness that shows right away that, unlike the videos, these sets aren't shot by the girls themselves or their friends. They still have a candid feel, and the photographers aren't artists, but they know how to handle a camera and make the most out of the lighting that available. Unfortunately, there are no Zip files to make downloading the sets any easier, nor are there any slideshows.
As for the videos, the options aren't much better. They're usually around 10 to 12 minutes long, and come in only one streaming (852x480 Flash) and one downloadable (3000kbps 1280x720 WMV) format.
Final Verdict
The greatest asset that a site in this genre can have is the authenticity of the women, and Cosmid.net has that nailed. Even if there are one or two professionals in the mix, the whole package still feels to me like the most real amateur girl-next-door softcore site I have encountered in a very long time. It suffers a bit from the lack of viewing options for both photos and videos, but it makes up for it by providing us an endless stream of fresh updates. Cosmid is definitely worth checking out.
