Pros:
It is a staggeringly beautiful site
Classy but also knows when to be sensual
The models are all attractive
Excellent variety of models which is unusual in the glamour genre
Videos and photo zips are downloadable
It is still updating to an already gigantic collection
Cons:
The constant scrolling feature can be annoying
While not as softcore as many glamour sites, it still is softcore compared to popular sites these days
Bottom Line:
I was having a conversation with another porn fan and made a comment I thought could be taken as me being negative about Watch4Beauty. I said it is so good, it often leaves me wanting more. That is easily misconstrued and is more ambiguous than I usually am when discussing porn.
I understand my comment could make the clearly glamour site be stereotyped. Sites like Watch4Beauty were known for having gorgeous models posing in not so provocative poses. But that was not what my comment was about. Quite the contrary even. The models on Watch4Beauty have no problem showing you every inch of their feminine bodies. They will even give you close-up views and spread open angles. Once into the videos, they will even show you how those orifices work.
While the more risque content has not always been common on Watch4Beauty, it has been the norm for at least 10 years. There was a time when the content was even softer than it is now, but like other glamour sites, Watch4Beauty started showing more and using more. This created a dilemma. Showing pink was usually teased on glamour sites. Once it became common, there was a need for more.
Sites like Watch4Beauty including Met Art, Hegre and dozens of others nearly all started showing pink around the same time or roughly. I feel confident saying Watch4Beauty did more with showing pink than other glamour sites. I have even wondered how much the settings affected the comfortableness of the models. The models look to be on a vacation or holiday in their videos and pictures for Watch4Beauty. There is a more natural advancement from their models than from other glamour sites. These young models looked to step naturally from showing their body, but not their pink – stepped smoothly to not just showing their pink, but also showing how they use it and play with it and enjoy it.
There is a fine line in porn and I think all can agree with that. There is that moment that we – the viewer – may sigh a little and think the model is now just doing it for the money. I do not feel that way ever on Watch4Beauty. These models give off the feeling they love showing their bodies so much, it arouses them and they must touch themselves and show the viewer what they are touching.
The masturbation is believable and not drawn out for video length sake. It is very believable that these models have an orgasm or two or even three before they stop. That separates Watch4Beauty for me from the other glamour sites.
The site does feature the mobile friendly, forever scrolling feature and that feature is great if you are viewing the site on a cellphone or tablet, but it makes the site somewhat annoying to deal with on a desktop computer or laptop. It is a very minor annoyance for me. Maybe it helps that I find every single model to be very attractive? The videos are in great quality as are the photos. I like the photos from Watch4Beauty as much as any other site. The only other con for some could be that the content is 2024 softcore. Which is much different than 2005 softcore, but if you’re used to hardcore right from the start of a scene, this content will be a little softer than what you are used to.
Personally, I love the site, the models, the download options and yes, the settings. Most of these models do not look like what I picture when I think of a porn model. That too is a major plus.
My review does leave the question of what it is Watch4Beauty leaves me wanting more of? I am still waiting on a couple of the models to show up under my Christmas tree! It’s a site that does nearly everything right and the models are sexy enough, you may find yourself penning your first letter to Santa to ask for a couple of their models for yourself.

Pros:
Very appealing user interface
Only genuinely beautiful/sexy models featured
Different resolutions of pictures and videos available for download
Wide variety of performances, stretches the limits of erotic art, but never go beyond it(Ample use of props, dildos, peeing performances, etc.)
Backstage video to go with almost every gallery in recent times
A public forum for members to voice their opinions/demands/criticisms, which are personally replied to, and even acted upon wherever possible
The models are among the most gorgeous on the web
Cons:
Not enough outdoor shoots
Too Europe-centric, especially Czech-centric. Not enough blacks, American and Asian models
Magazine videos/pictures cannot be downloaded, are available only for viewing
Too heavy a site for a slow-speed internet connection
Bottom Line:
I'm not sure where to start, as I have so much to praise about this site. I'll start from the home page. Very well designed, a slideshow of huge pictures greet the user, with options lower down the page to navigate to the galleries, cams, free photos/trailer, and the members' section.
The cams are a farce as in almost every other Erotica site, redirecting you to an adult chat site(chatgf in this case), where you are required to purchase an additional premium membership to get access to premium features such as Private Chat, etc. I'll leave it there.
Jumping to the members' section, the member is greeted with the cover of the latest gallery/video, below which are the most recent issues of the magazine(a section covered later in this review). There's an elegant navigation bar to the left throughout the site which allows a user to navigate to Galleries(includes Videos), Cams, Magazine and About Us(not sure how the latter fits in here though). There is, similarly, another elegant navigation area, which could be termed as a mini-sitemap, at the bottom of every page on the site. These take the user to almost anywhere in the site, ranging from the galleries to the legal section.
Moving on to the galleries, the content itself is mind-blowing: The quality of pictures and videos is exemplary, that of backstage videos leaves a bit to be desired(But hey! They're only 'backstage' videos!). There's a wide spectrum of acts that the models perform for the viewer, ensuring that the galleries never get too monotonous, while at the same time resisting the temptation of going hardcore, a temptation that I have unfortunately seen some other sites in the same niche venture into, and a temptation that I hope Watch4Beauty never succumbs to. Here's how W4B describes itself: "W4B, is an exclusive, on-line erotic art magazine, for gentlemen of taste."
The peeing performances on this site, for instance, are testimony to W4B's ability to get sexier and sexier without diving into the dirty world of hardcore porn, and deserve a special mention in here. I was never a fan of watching girls urinate, but was surprised to see how sensual and sexy the peeing performances on this site have been made to look. I'm sure you would enjoy them too, irrespective of your current attitude towards peeing performances. There's now no shame in admitting how much a love these peeing performances, as much the other performances.
Members can view the pictures as a slideshow, download pictures in 3 different resolutions, backstage video in 1 (decent)resolution, and videos in 5 different resolutions/formats.
Proceeding to the magazine section, this is a mixed bag, and not all issues are adults-only. The magazine issues cover W4B models' backstage activities, luxury vacations, cartoons by the in-house cartoonist Dan, porn stars, and even porn/erotica sites that are direct rivals of Watch4Beauty. One drawback of this section is undoubtedly the inability of a member to download the pictures/video in a magazine issue.
There are a few other freebies like E-Cards, wallpapers, posters, etc. Not that they need to provide all this with the wonderful job they're doing with the part of the site that matters.
All in all, it's not just ONE of the best erotic art sites out there currently, it is THE best erotic art site out there currently. And I say this from the experience of having been a member in at least 6 other 'popular' erotic art sites in recent times. An absolute 5* site!

Pros:
Highly professional glamour photography with extremely attractive and experienced models. Settings are designed to highlight the model and are generally beautiful. There don't seem to be any tacky motel rooms, for example.
Models are almost exclusively Russian and Ukrainian and typically slender and very fit. Bodies are apparently all natural and accessories very minimal.
Some of the models have more than 100 galleries/films. Updates occur every two days. Galleries tend to be 60-100+ images. Recent galleries are available as zips in 4000px, 2000px and 1200px. Much older galleries are largely available in 2000x and 1200px. There are currently about 400,000 images.
Videos are available up to 1920 x 1080. Videos are sorted as Explicit, Lifestyle and Sensual. There are currently about 800 videos.
Cons:
MPLStudios is more likely than most sites to offer familiar models under unfamiliar names. If you're a collector, this requires some research. For example, Monika Dee is a familiar and welcome MetArt model and is known as Kaitlin at MPLStudios.
Zipped galleries are named with 8 digits. No photographer, no title. On the website the galleries include that information but it does not transfer to files.
There are no customer comments. IMO, this is a mixed bag. The comments can be helpful at times but they can also encourage bickering and/or snotty comments about pubic hair.
Biographical information is minimal. Almost nonexistent, in fact, other than debut age, nationality, and breast size.
Models are almost exclusively slender white girls. That happens to be my type, so not always a con.
Bottom Line:
I'm a great fan of glam erotica and for many years my loyalty has been to one website & family of websites. However, over the last few years that source has lost its, er, glamour for me. A few of the photographers with long histories have apparently quit trying. It's not unusual for one of them to take a beautiful woman (and they are, for the most part, beautiful) out to a rocky ledge or a lilac farm and put her through the same series of gymnastics over and over, without venturing into new territory. There are some long-standing photographers who take their art seriously, and these are most likely to get hammered in comments especially if they're not explicit enough. My personal taste is for natural-looking positions, so feet behind the ears so we can see her anus has limited appeal especially when it's repetitive.
That particular website has at least four updates every single day, which means they need a lot of material and the glory days of a boundless supply of models seems to be gone. A lot of the models are simply decent-looking women willing to take their clothes off for the camera. It feels like the webmaster is throwing images against the wall to see what sticks. Photographers often rely on quantity over quality and I frankly tire of shabby motel rooms.
True debut models at MPLStudios are rare these days and most have a solid track record with lots of experience either here or at other glamour sites. They are, virtually without exception, drop-dead gorgeous and the settings, whether indoors or out are likewise. MPLStudios takes models to glamorous locations, singly or in groups and spends time with them in those locations.
Rather than a lot of different (or indifferent) models, the website focuses on a smaller cast. Which means, for instance, that I recently sorted through more than 4,000 images of Lana Lane to select material for my personal screen savers. This was not a painful process.
Once upon a time, Digital Desire exhibited this level of professionalism and had seemingly cornered the market on knock-down, drag-out beauties. That was due to the experience, professionalism and reputation of J. Stephen Hicks. After his untimely death in 2013 all that was lost. MPLStudios feels to me like it's filling that gap.

Pros:
Attractive Women in well shot photos and videos. Great video quality and clarity. Classy all around. Very sensual styling of models. Picture sets with x-large photos. Plenty of content with updates daily. You won't find better looking women photographed and filmed any better on the net.
Cons:
Could have more videos and be a little more hard core. If you want penetration this is not the site for you. Files are very large, but download speed is fine.
Bottom Line:
A well structured site with beautiful women shot in stunning sets and videos. Could be a little soft for some tastes.

Pros:
-Unlimited streaming and downloading. This is becoming rare in today's porn world, where many sites either limit downloads, or make you pay extra for downloads, or eliminate downloads from some memberships.
-The site features many of the most beautiful women in the world. At one time (back before the internet), this would have been a massive selling point. But with sites like Metart (and it's sister sites), MPL Studios, Femjoy, etc., sites with beautiful women are a commodity. It doesn't take away from the beauty and quality of the models, but it's human nature to devalue what is so freely available.
-However, the quality of the photography is excellent, and easily compares to the best that sites like Metart, MPL Studios, Femjoy offer. The attractive models (I downplay the models, because many of these models are equisite and breathtaking and filmed with care) are a delight to look at.
-Site updates 3-4x per week.
-Login is easy if you have cookies enabled.
Cons:
PROS(CONTINUED):
-Payment is easy: You can pay with a credit card (Visa or Mastercard), PayPal, or Crypto. I'm old-fashioned, but if you pay with Crypto, I've read that if you're a US citizen, you will have to include on your income tax report your short-term and long-term cryptocurrency gains and losses on Form 8949. Not reporting all crypto gains and losses is considered tax fraud.
So I'm glad I haven't had this problem yet.
-The mix of women is broader than traditional sites like Metart, MPL Studios, Femjoy. You get your normal selection of white models, but you also get a strong element of Black, Indigenous, and people of color. This will be a plus for PU members who are craving something beyond the white models normally seen.
-I don't think of this as a mega-site like Metart or MPL Studios, but there is a large amount of photo sets and videos packed into the site. The layout is easy to navigate. The quality of the images is top-notch. You have hundreds of glamorous girls for your
Bottom Line:
PROS(CONTINUED):viewing pleasure. Hundreds of lovely girls in thousands of photosets, hundreds of videos of these stunning models, the videos are mainly solo shoots, with the girls moving around and exposing their lovely bodies, having some sexual fun with other female models or masturbating by themselves.
-Listed price is $29.95/month. But PU offers a discount of $14.95 for the first month. Or if you look around, you can probably find a $9.95/month discounted special.
Hundreds of lovely girls in thousands of photosets, hundreds of videos of these stunning models, the videos are mainly solo shoots, with the girls moving around and exposing their lovely bodies, having some sexual fun with other female models or masturbating by themselves.
CONS(START 0F):
-I think the cons are basically minor for the site.
-Personally, I'm not a big fan of tattoos on women. But it's becoming more and more common over the years. And many of the Watch4Beauty models are into tattoos.
-Pre-checked cross-sale on join page. Normal for almost all porn sites.
-My biggest con is that I wish there was more content of most of my favorite models at the site. Some models do one or two shoots, and then move on to other web sites.
-Years ago there used to be a few bonus sites, but they dropped them. However, the site contents is well worth the money to join, if you are into lovely young women stripping and showing off their bodies for your viewing pleasure.
-I'm more familiar with the download system used at Metart, Femjoy, etc, where you can easily select the video of your choice and the file defintion, or the photo set of your choice and the file definition, but the Watch$Beauty system, while not as refined, is still usable.
-Sometimes the file download speeds seem sluggish. I wish they were faster downloads.
BOTTOM LINE
The emphasis is on the photos. There are hundreds of videos that are definitely worth watching, but the true value, for me, is the photo sets.
I could stare for hours at Rinna's 2 photo sets. She's such a luscious model, young, vibrant, fresh, lovely, charming.
In summary, I believe I've listed the main reasons for joining this site. Gorgeous models representing a wide variety of ethnic types, top class photography, a mix of high-rent locations where the girls are having fun exploring their lucious bodies. They freshen up with the offerings with casting, peeing, masturbation, girlsinlove. So they put more thought and care into the shoots than most softcore photo sites.

Pros:
- It's one of the best photography sites on the internet and has been around long enough that I was once a member in 2006.
- It is an "artsy" site but it has a naughty side.
- Download speeds are very good (80% of max).
- Quality is extremely high, will explain in BL.
- Models from all over the world, including the United States, which is kind of unusual for this type of site.
- Updates, on average, every other day. Today is July 31st and there are 16 July updates.
- One of the last sites to really focus on the setting, the colors in the background and it shows.
- The TBP/PU price is very good.
- Ready for this one? Bills through Epoch or CCBill, your choice and can use Paypal too.
- Another shocker ... not a single ad in the member's area and zero cross-sales.
- One of the most diverse photography sites, quite a few Latina models and most of these models are new to me. The one thing that doesn't vary is that every model is pretty.
Cons:
- It's a small one but I think it could be confusing to first-time/new members and that's the difference in the videos that come with the pictures and the "films" that are separate. I will cover it in the BL.
- I don't know if this is a fair con but each time I go to the home screen there's a Watch 4 Beauty notice that they now have a mobile site. Is it better than the desktop site? I don't understand its purpose. Of course, I don't look at porn on my phone either.
Bottom Line:
Watch 4 Beauty is my favorite of the photography/artsy sites. They took risks when the other artsy sites wouldn't. So, they won me over a long time ago. I know they don't update as much as some of the other photography sites but they update enough for me. Their archive has around 2,500 photo sets in it too.
The first place they stand out is in the photography. You have four download choices, 1200 pixels, 2000 pixels or "4000", the 4000 are close to 6000 long end which is huge. They also have the rather unique "PDF portfolio" download as well.
Where they're different from many photography sites is they have "films". This also goes into the confusion. Each photo set has an accompanying video BUT that video is a behind the scenes video that is nothing more than a videographer recording the photo session. Oddly enough, they have this video embedded above the photos. The photos are in 3 rows and at the end of the photos are the links to download the picture set and a link to download the embedded video, it's only available in 1080p. The "films" are normal masturbation-type videos.
These films are some of the best masturbation videos I've seen. They also can be downloaded in 3 different sizes the 4K 2160p, 1080p and 540p. These are some of the most realistic masturbation scenes I've seen. They're not overly long, most are in the 10-13 minute range and they're not filled with a lot of fake screaming and forced "dirty talk". This works here because most of the models are younger (under 25). The bad part is these films are only released once a week. There's around 480 of these films so there is a fairly large amount considering it's a photography site.
The part I think is negative there is not all the models appear in "films" and unless you're on the model's page, you're going to have to scroll through the films category to find ones you're looking for.
The model list works. Each model's page has all of her photo sets listed, all of her films listed and there's a ranking system for members to go by when looking for new models.
If I was to say what's the best part of this site, it would be that it's like porn sites used to be. They find a pretty setting, place a very pretty model in the setting, take pictures/behind the scenes video and/or shoot a film. It's also nice to see a choice of billers when joining. If you use Paypal you have to bill through Epoch. Oddly enough for me, Paypal won't let me use my Visa debit card to join porn sites but I do have a Mastercard and they accept it. Besides that there's the easy to use navigation, no advertisements to try and avoid, no cross-sales to uncheck and the site works exactly how it should.
The models are the biggest draw here. I have more Latina models in my collection, from Watch 4 Beauty, than I do from any other site and that includes sites with the name "Exotics" in them. I do think it's possible for new members to be frustrated by the videos included with picture sets just being videos of the photography session but I think most or all of the photography sites do those too. The films separate it from the others and are what makes it my favorite "photography" site.
There are models on here that remind you it's okay to be shallow. Ariela looks like a 19 year old Angelina Jolie. Karin Torres shows that not all Latina women are full of curves but is still quite stunning. Li Moon shows that Asian models aren't all slender with her curves. Irene Rouse reminds me that I have a strange fetish for women with unique hair. Not that it's unusual hair but it's a style that was more popular 20 years ago. That, to me, is when a porn site is doing a good job. They are focusing on bringing out the strengths of the models instead of making every model's strength rest between her legs. Maybe that's even more pornographic than hardcore porn? I'm getting too old to be seduced but there's a seductive quality to this content that's uncommon these days.
I did want to throw in since someone asked, there are both portrait and landscape photos on this site. I too can be enticed by a beautiful landscape with a pretty model blended in. Unless I've missed it at the other photography sites, I think Watch 4 Beauty does that better than anyone and it's why I score it a 95. I also want to mention the archive of models that are now becoming "old" or "classic". In my 12+ years of collecting porn, my very favorite photos of Anetta Keys are from Watch 4 Beauty. I don't know what they did with the lighting, the setting colors but it really made her "glow". Which is probably why they call it nude art. You just don't find many sites like this one anymore. Highly recommended to picture fans and solo masturbation fans (for the films).

Pros:
-some of the best and most intimate cinematography I've ever seen
-the most genuine-seeming passion I've seen in professional porn to date
-content is in general very classy and not degrading
-video quality is excellent and plays back smoothly on various devices
-download managers work, no bandwidth limitations
-daily updates (either photoset or video)
-videos are just about the right length without a lot of mechanical filler
Cons:
-no real search function
-behind the scenes section is not a useful bonus
Bottom Line:
This is the second time I've had a subscription to x-art. The first time I tried it for a month, and, after trying a few other sites, returned to get a year's subscription as I was hard-pressed to find any other site that measured up to what it had to offer.
It should be noted that I much prefer the "heartcore" genre of porn, as I find that style much more appealing than some of the more traditional hardcore approaches. x-art both epitomizes this style and does it perhaps the most successfully. About the roughest you will see on this site are occasional scenes where the sex is quicker and more vigorous than normal, but I can't think of a scene that was degrading (that in and of itself is a plus, at least for me).
The site's navigation is very straightforward: a chronological list of updates (also sorted by name and popularity), with the option to filter b/g, g/g, solo, and group. While it's a clean interface that doesn't get in the way and is great for checking a few times a week, it would be nice to have a search feature (for example, when I want to grab a different size of a video I have on hand, the fastest way is usually to look up the model, find the model page, and then find the video link from there - manageable, but could be better).
The videos are available in multiple formats and sizes (1080 and 720 HD, SD, and mobile), and all play back smoothly on most devices (I was even able to get them to play respectably on the tiny video screen of a classic iPod). The file sizes are smaller than those from comparable sites, although to me they seem to offer a clearer picture and smoother playback than most. The photosets are generally good too, come in multiple resolutions, and seem to be hand-picked without much in the way of repeated shots (which can also mean that you may not like the particular angles or frames they chose to include, but I like that I'm not having to sort through dozens of samey pictures for each set). There are several hundred photosets and videos available, all of consistent quality (although the earliest part of the archives are mostly artful, solo photosets, and videos show up later on, but there is plenty of video content at this point).
What I like most about the site, though, is the quality of the content. I have seen a fair number of sites in this genre, at least in terms of trial videos, and this one seems to get it the most right. The very basic requirement of this type of site, "not so gross I can't show it to my girlfriend," is met by most of them, but this site goes a cut above in providing videos that, through their cinematography and directing, present an actual chemistry and passion that is sadly lacking on many other sites.
Cinematography-wise, the shots work well to highlight things, never linger too long, and provide a good mix of close-ups, mids, and overview shots. The lighting is superb, the location shots generally beautiful, and the editing is clean (although the title fadeouts are a little irksome). The camera work is also good regardless of the subject, and on some of the solo intros, frame the female body in an incredibly beautiful way.
Speaking of the models, it's rare to see one that looks "porn-y", and to my eye at least are all quite stunningly beautiful. It's true that they stay on the "slimly european" side of things (I think I saw maybe one asian and one black model on the site), but they do not disappoint. The male actors are generally quite good too, and with the exception of one I don't like as much, tend to avoid the skeezy look and perform quite well.
What sets them apart even more, though, is that they actually attempt to achieve, or at least reasonably simulate, passionate encounters. The chemistry between the performers is generally excellent, and the passion in the sex feels believable. There's much less of the fake moaning than the norm, to the point where I can listen to the audio without it detracting from the experience, and there are orgasms presented on camera that for a professional site seemed amazingly believable.
Overall, aside from a few quibbles about the site design, this site does everything "heartcore" pretty much right. It is with this site alone, so far, that I come away from watching the videos and feel not just sexually satisfied, but actually happy to see sex presented with a seeming kindness and emotional authenticity that is too often absent elsewhere in porn. Perhaps, despite the title, it's not exactly art per se, but it's the best I've seen so far at managing to be both hardcore and truly erotic.

Pros:
-The collection of models rivals any porn site on the Net, as far as attractiveness of the models.
-The videos and photosets are professionally shot: excellent lighting, good camera technique, the models are professionally made-up, the costumes are good quality, as well as the sets.
-Choice of hi, standard, low, and mobile definition for videos;
-Choice of hi, medium and low definition for photo sets.
-No download limits.
-No DRM. Download a video or photo set, it's your to keep.
-Zip files for photo sets in low, medium and high definition.
-Epoch is the biller, a respected name for payment processors.
-Long time before site timeout.
-Can use download managers. I use Down Them All, a free download manager.
-Excellent download speeds. I get up to 4.6-4.9 MB/sec downloading a file.
-All content is exclusive.
Cons:
-The cons are basically minor. This is mainly a well-designed site, that is easy to use.
-No search engine. A good search engine would save a lot of time for members who have specific needs.
-The models are 18 to early 20's. Mostly white. Extremely attractive. There's no variety beyond that. So if you want to see mature women, or different ethnic backgrounds, you won't find it here.
-You can sort the models by popularity, newness, name or age, but the listing order is clunky: You have to scroll down the page numerous times, to bring up more models, instead of just being able to scroll smoothly down to see all the models.
-The action might be too soft for some tastes. This is consensual sex: almost no hitting the women, slapping, spitting, forcible sex.
-Updates average one per 2-or-3 days. Would like more updates. But the site emphasizes quality over quantity, which is a good idea.
Bottom Line:
Site statistics:
Number of models: 200+
Number of photosets: 800+
Number of videos: 600+
This is one of my favorite glamcore sites. It does an excellent job presenting the models as attractively as possible.
The models are almost all lovely to look at: they range from attractive to stunning to drop-dead gorgeous. Examine the model pages to see what I mean: these girls could be movie stars, based on their physical looks.
Note: The photographer can have a massive effect on how attractive a model appears in a photograph. The X-Art site photographers do a great job in showcasing their models. A model that might appear as just OK or slightly attractive at a different site, can appear to be alluring or beautiful or gorgeous in X-Art photos.
Most of the action is sweet, loving, gentle sex, either solo, twosome (boy-girl, girl-girl), or threesome (mainly 2 girls + 1 boy). The sex is mainly presented as between consenting adults who are giving each other pleasure. There is very
little gonzo sex. Recently, they have introduced a few videos/photosets showing a more forceful, 50-shades-of-grey style, since that seems to be the flavor of the month. But even then, you assume the sex is consensual.
When the site started, it was called "Beauty is Divine", and the content was strictly softcore photos of lovely models, but no videos.
Then the site became "X-Art", and they started adding videos, and the focus changed from softcore photography to glamcore, where they started adding sex, which over time became more and more explicit.
If you haven't tried glamcore, this site is definitely worth at least a 1-month membership, just to see what glamcore is.
The PU discount means $20/month. Considering the quality of the site (exceptionally beautiful models, professionally shot photosets and videos), you get more than your money's worth, if you are into soft, erotic sex. The site has been around since 1999, so there is a large amount of content (photosets and videos) to explore.
Was a member approx. 4 months prior to this review.
Pros:
Very pretty girls
Extremely erotic situations
Great masturbation scenes
Awesome toys
No scripts
The quality of the videos are extremely good
No limits for downloads
Great library of previous models
Cons:
Content can feel old after a while
There are only some fetish scenes that improve the variety of the site performances
Girls are new, but will be seen in more hardcore videos in the near future on other sites
Updates are once a week or so
Bottom Line:
The girls of FTV are new to the porn scene and provide a refreshing look at women trying to break into the industry. They are normally, gorgeous and young but every so often you will find an older girl who is looking for an adventure.
Some of the scenes are so unscripted that the models get caught by security guards at malls, hotels or office complexes. The girls also make themselves so crazy that they cum so hard they squirt (surprising themselves and the cameraman).
The content is consistently excellent and the girls are extremely hot. No men therefore no dicks, just a girl, her toys and hands. If that's your thing, you will love this site.

*A serious site
Cons:
*The price.A bit expensive

Bottom Line:
This site is one of the most finest in the porn
bis.One of my favs.The quality is very important
issue.I always look for the excellent handle of
the camera in videos,and the webmaster is pretty
good.It's not easy to find good videographers.
Now I remember people like PixandVideos site or
Denys de F.in One by Day site,maybe the camera-man
in AssTraffic site.
Maybe this site is not the best one'cause there
isn't has hardcore-girl/boy- just girls,although
you can find kinky shoots or extreme insertions.
Highly recommended.Worth the price and wait for
surprise if you stay for the 2d.month.

Pros:
-Some of the better porn stars plus tons of amateur girls, like your next door neighbor hottie.
-Amazing amount of content that goes back for years, took me months to download all the videos I wanted to keep.
-Videos are very well done and shot with a lot of attention. No DRM.
-Girls from around the world.
-First time I saw Erika on this site I died and went to heaven.
-Nice website.
Cons:
-Time to jump on the Hi-Def video bandwagon, these amazing women deserve HD!
-A few of these girls might remind you of your ex, maybe a good thing, maybe a bad thing.
-More international chicks!
-Speculum, WTF. Not my thing.
Bottom Line:
You can tell whoever does this website puts an amazing amount of effort into it and it pays off. Be aware that your'e only going to see solo action with hands, toys, fruit, shoes, etc. This site is by far the best hot babe solo action joint in the world. Worth every penny.

Pros:
Phew – that’s a lot of hot and sexy content!
Stunning downloadable videos
High quality throughout along with lots of goodies
Navigation works effortlessly and accurately
Photos are as high of quality as I have seen
Models are real, girl next door types and are all sexy
Cons:
They are likely their own biggest competition and that never turns out well. You either top your previous work and make it lesser or you fail to top it and make your current work lesser.
The split videos
Bottom Line:
FTV Girls was “hardcore” to me back when I started perusing online porn. There are scenes with men with women and lesbian scenes too, but FTV’s strength is in the solo niche It surprises me how many times I have read someone complain about the site being named FTV which stands for First Time Video. There is little to no doubt that most of these models are filming their first ever porn scene. What I think happened, FTV carries a connotation of innocence and youth. FTV has one of the broadest age ranges for what is often advertised as a teen site. The Teen genre has stuck around so long that FTV now has a MILF site.
The girls next door style of models has been a forever strength of mainstream porn. That’s also a belief around FTV (all amateur, not true). There are some major porn stars on FTV.
The navigation cannot be praised enough. This is a massive collection, but you shouldn’t have any problems navigating the network.
This is what a typical scene wants to do and have you experience. A model meets up with the photographer. She takes pictures and does an interview style video where she answers some unique questions. She then works on her teasing ability and posing as well. That ultimately leads to the model masturbating. It’s beyond believable. A young woman teasing others and showing her body off suddenly decides to masturbate.
That is made better by the various toys FTV brings to the set. You’re going to see fingers and fists and multiple toys. All of which make guys wish they were the object or toy and makes women like myself, wonder why we didn’t try being with women.
FTV has taught me I do prefer simpler porn. These videos are based on a young woman doing something she most likely tried as her first sexual activity. The technical points of the site are easy to look over. The videos show a different woman (often less shy). I do believe that is one weakness of FTV. I do believe we as viewers fall into a mindset of what we think young, first time models do to themselves. Which in turn is a major strength.
On top of all the positives from above: The photos and videos are unlimited downloads. There’s so many examples of actions we would see as important to a successful porn site and those are right.

Pros:
- Huge site with exclusive videos
- Site well laid out
- High production values
- Beautiful models
- Lots of public nudity
- Lots of solo masturbation
- Some girl/girl
- Some (but not a lot) hardcore
- A chance to see some A-listers before they were stars
- Supports download managers
- Excellent video quality
- Downlaod options available
- Early adopters of HD
- High resolution photos available
- Photos available in zips
Cons:
- If you dont like the typical FTV model then youll likely not like the site
Bottom Line:
Some may disagree with me on this assessment, but I see FTV Girls as serving two completely different niches within one site. They focus on public nudity and on solo girl masturbation. There are other niches (some girl/girl and some rare hardcore) but the majority of the scenes contain the two main niches that the site serves. There is a limitation to my review in that while Im a huge fan of public nudity Im not a big fan of solo girl stuff, so most of what I downloaded was the public stuff. I think its reasonable to assume that if the public stuff is of such high quality that a prospective member who likes solo masturbation scenes would be equally happy with a membership.
The site has been around for 10 years now and continues to offer high quality exclusive scenes. Right from day one this site had high production values with good lighting, camera work and editing. The site now has 839 scenes uploaded and updates with one (sometimes two) scenes being added per week. Some may say that the update rate isnt enough, but when you consider the effort that goes into these scenes I think the once-a-week update is pretty impressive.
The site itself is well laid out and simple to use. The scenes are laid out 30 per page and each scene opens into a separate page. On that scenes page there are links for the videos (two or more) and the photos. Each of those opens into a separate page with the download options. On newer scenes there are obviously more options with the scenes being HD in both WMV and mp4, in SD in either format and in two formats for mobile devices. The file size is shown too. I downloaded the HD mp4 videos and they come in at 1920x1080, 12,000kb/s and 30fps. The older HD videos have the same specs except the bitrate is about 8,000kb/s.
You can also sort by model and there is a search function and extensive use of tags. (One great advantage of the tags is that it allows the member to do some pre-sorting. I was here for public nudity and there was a tag for that.)
The site was an early adopter of HD video bringing it in in December 2007. The SD videos offered before that come in at 720x480, 1,200kb/s and 25fps.
One thing I liked about the layout was that when you opened the page for a specific video there are thumbnails of the photos on the same page which allows a bit of a preview to help you decide if you want the scene or not.
Photos are available and look great. Obviously the photo size has grown over the years with the latest being offered as either 1600 or 4000 pixel downloads. Zips are available.
An interesting facet of the site is that since it is so high quality and has been around so long it affords an opportunity to see A-list stars before they were stars, and in many cases under different names. Amia Miley appears as Ileana, for example. Christie Lee and Kelly Wells make early appearances. There are quite a few big models who appeared here early in their careers. Something that may be unique is the 2006 shoot of Brianna Love (as Brianna) when she is 8 months pregnant.
I joined specifically for the public nudity. In my opinion, public nudity is either very good or very bad. When done wrong all the heat is removed. FTV does it right: the public parts of their shoots are really well done. I use Teasers VOD as the gold standard of public nudity due to its high risk and intense heat. FTV isnt up to that standard but it is still excellent and any fan of the genre wont be disappointed. I should also point out the flaw in comparing this site to Teasers: Teasers was so risky that the City of L.A. shut them down. Ill accept the less in-your-face public scenes in FTV as a trade-off for more scenes being shot.
Notwithstanding the above, this is NOT just a public nudity site. Most videos have some public nudity and thats followed by an indoor scene with masturbation. While I normally prefer the option to download an entire video, the fact that the shoot is broken into segments really fits well here. I just want the public stuff and thats in a stand-alone video. Same with the solo stuff. I liked that the scenes are not sterile. The models personality is allowed to shine through. Some may not like that the cameraman interacts with the model in the scene, but I think it adds to the heat.
There is a lot of BTS material available too for those of us who like that. Its located under the Extras tab.
Download managers work on the site and I had no problem with using one.
If there is a downside to FTV it is likely that some people who like variety in their models may not be satisfied. The models are almost exclusively Caucasian, 18-22 and slim. Dont join looking for 30+ BBW black women. I like what they offer, and Im a satisfied customer.
The bottom line is that this is an excellent site that does a great job of offering material for different interests. The material is great and it is easy to access. I recommend a membership.

Pros:
# this site spoils video lovers
# offers 1440 X 1080 Ultra HD video; 8000 bper second
# offers 720 x 480 HD video
# every update from now on will include HD, and Ultra HD video
# Great looking models- usually students who send in sample photos and live in Phoenix.
# straightforward, magazine style layout
# the hd feeds are great; show great detail, def an upgrade over regular wmv watching that models booty jiggle in her skirt in Ultra HD is addicting.
# 30-45 minutes of vid comes with each shoot setting; comprises about 2 + hours of video per model; with some much more than that.
# photo shoots are hi quality; around 4 shoots/4 different settings 40- 60 pics per. Fewer, well chosen pics: almost every pic is background material
# Offers super sized pics 2000x 3000 format
# FTV girls Co. lavishes these girls; they are shot in hotels; inside lavish homes, taken away in expensive cars making hi class shoot settings.
# offers an extensive DVDs: each 1.5 to 2 hours long
Cons:
# HD vids are only a recent addition- 24 models have updates that include the HD- the rest are
#the ultra HD vid feeds will take five- 7 minutes to load for like a six minute segment DSL- don't know about other connections
# not a site for those with dial up connections: downloads can take hours. as this is not a site where you would join just for the pics
# The updates come on schedule; but your not going to get an update a day- about one model every couple of weeks.
Bottom Line:
Ftv Girls are for vid lovers who have the hi speed connection to be able to enjoy this site.
Mostly college age students are dared to expose themselves in a public setting. Usually in a place- like a mall parking lot, or city park when no one is there. Its almost a requirement for a photo shoot; and some of them are nervous about it; some shoots are even interrupted by security; but some of the models end up loving it. One model Kara, who at first was too shy to do it, surprises as she strips down naked in a parking lot as she walks to the photgraphers car.. and that one was in offered in HD. Its fun to see some of these girls turn from shy girl to exhibitionist; passing the point of no return; almost becoming addicted to the thrill of it themselves.
There's booty jiggling, upskirts, dressing room shots where they try on clothes (high end lingerie and dresses), interviews, poolside vids, panty stuffing in their vagina, and tons of masterbation.
# each model comes with around three seperate shoot settings: usually one shoot where they take clothes off in a public setting; one where they primp- dress in a bathroom try on different clothes and lingerie; and a hardcore shoot where they masterbate with or without a dildo.
The other plus with a vid site is that I can do other things while the HD vids download; You can get other things done while these vids are downloading.
Ive joined Ftv Girls wtihout regret 5 times. Though the first time I had dial up.

Pros:
- Hot, natural looking chicks
- Lots of public nudity (good if you like that)
- Lots of large dildos (this is not a softcore site!)
- High quality videos
- Frequent updates
Cons:
None
Bottom Line:
This is just one of the best porn sites out there. Hot chicks, great bodies, fun videos, tons of video, and not too prudish: these girls get very enthusiastic even though it's not hardcore (b/g).
Current Member for over 2 months (at the time of review).
Pros:
- Frequent updates (almost daily)
- High Resolution Photos
- Zip Down loadable sets in 3 sizes
- Excellent Photography
- Superb Talent
- Breathtaking Solo Studio and outdoor sets!
- Famous Porn Starlets and Adult models
- High Definition Videos
- Access to multiple clubs (Lisa Ann, Kagney Linn Karter, Club Kayden, etc).
- Exquisite content
Cons:
- None really, except maybe that some of the pic sets have no video to go with them.
Bottom Line:
If you really want "High Quality" erotic photography at it's finest, then you want to visit this amazing website. It really puts the others to shame. I love the daily content and most importantly the absolutely AMAZING quality that each set provides. I appreciate the solo model sets as it is a refreshing set of scenery from that usual raunchy porn set which I do occasionally enjoy from time to time. The faces are well known in the adult industry and are well sought out for their work. The sultry settings and captive beauty will have you begging for more.
Current Member for over 1 year (at the time of review).
Pros:
Extremely high quality and original content. Photographic style that captures the beauty of the girls. I have never been disappointed by an update. The memberships costs are extremely low for the quality of the content and frequency of updates.
Cons:
The updates could contain more photographs but everything that is in the updates is pure quality. No filler shots
Bottom Line:
This site has amazing content. Many of the photographs have an editorial quality and uniqueness that is hard to come by. The quality is 2nd to none. I am continually impressed by the quality found at this site. I highly recommend this site.
Current Member for less than 1 month (at the time of review).
Pros:
Beautiful young slim models professionally photographed. Not porn star type models. Young fresh faces enjoying the cameras eye. No cosmetic body enhancements. Video technique improving with time. Increasing use of video.
Cons:
Shoots need more of a story line using clothing props. Fantasy build up from clothed to nude instead of too many similar nude shots in one set however beautiful they are. Improved eye contact with camera.
Bottom Line:
This site is the best in it's field & improving with each update. I find it very rewarding for my erotic needs & the photographer is open to ideas. Highly recommended.
Was a member approx. 4 months prior to this review.
Pros:
This site has some very good looking girls and has them in a wide variety of videos and pictures. Most models feature in Boy-Girl, Girl-Girl and Solo, so alot of variety.
-The girls have very good looking body's and faces
-There a few well known models there (Francesca, Caprice, and others)
Videos are in HD resolutions 1920x1080, 1280x720 and some lower resolutions for mobile devices such as phones, iPods and for people with lower bandwidths.
The video & picture quality are amazing. There is alot of attention payed to lighting and the sets, the sets and videos have a very clean look to them.
The videos are all watchable and have a unique feel to them, they don't get boring and repetitive like other sites.
Good download speeds, with support for download managers. There is no daily download limit.
(I used JDownloader and Flashgot)
Cons:
Some models only have picture sets and don't show in any videos. But this is only a minor disappointment because the picture sets are normally very good.
Not much content, and isn't updated all that often (2-3 times a week).
Bottom Line:
The site has a very dreamy, erotica feel about it, the scenes have a very clean look to it, and would recommend this site to everyone.
The quality was very impressive, the sets were nice (Both indoor and outdoor), the clothes the models wore were nice (For the short period they were wearing them).
One thing i hate with most pornsites with Boy-Girl videos, they focus too much on the guys and not enough on the girls. X-art focuses on the girls mainly, and most of the time the guys aren't completly in the picture.
There isn't that much content, i did a siterip back in september and all up it was about 80-90gb (downloading 1080p videos and all picture sets).
But the price is very reasonable at only $20 US per month.
Here's a list of the video formats and resolutions
-1920x1080, 1280x720 & 960x540 are in the Apple .MOV format
-1280x720, & 960x540 are in Windows .WMV Format (But some newer videos have 1920x1080 in WMV Format)
-They also have a 640x480 for mobile devices but i am unsure of what codec it is
-They have pictures sets which are downloadable as Zip Formats, in high resolutions as high as 4000x4000
Current Member for over 6 months (at the time of review).
Pros:
-One of my favorite glamcore sites.
-The selection of models is outstanding. Most of the models are either attractive or gorgeous.
The photography and videos focus on making the models as attractive as possible, and it really shows.
-Easy login. Username and password can be saved. No captcha required.
-Good site design. Can search site by updates, models, or videos.
-Large thumbnails clearly show what the models look like, what models are in each video or photoset.
-Long time before site timeout.
-No DRM.
-Content has date posted to site.
-No download limits.
-Fast download speeds. I get over 2.1 MB/sec, which is close to my max download speed.
-Download manager works. I use DownThemAll.
-Videos and photo sets are professionally shot. Excellent lighting, good colors, good sound control (no random extraneous noises), most of the photos and videos are well-focused.
-Good update rate. Last couple of weeks, they have been adding one video or photoset per day.
Cons:
-The cons are basically minor. This is one of the best glamcore sites available. I'm basing that on the quality of the models (attractive to absolutely gorgeous), the high quality of the videos and photosets, how easy the site is to use).
-No search function if want to search by type of sex action, hair color of model, breast size, or other factors.
-If you don't like glamcore (some PU members call this heartcore), you won't like this site. There is no gonzo sex, no rough treatment of women.
-Many of the videos have brief moments where the video is slighty blurry. This is an "artistic effect", which I find stupid and annoying. I want my videos crystal clear, not crystal clear, with occasional blurry shots mixed in.
-Glamcore usually has soft "mood music" in the background. I prefer a video without any "mood music" or any background music.
-Models are white, late teens to early 20s. Some PU members might want a wider variety of models, different races, more of an age spread.
Bottom Line:
This is one of the best glamcore sites on the Internet. The models range from merely attractive to drop-dead gorgeous. The videos and photosets are high quality, professionally shot, to emphasize the beauty of the models. The sex is slow, sensuous, romantic.
There is a mix of solo, boy-girl, girl-girl. There are a few with 2 boys-1 girl, 1 boy-2 girls, 2 boys-2 girls.
I believe the site contents are exclusive. Although many of the models can be found at other sites, the videos and photosets at the site are exclusive.
There is a nice amount of content. The site has been around a number of years (2009 or earlier?). It used to be called "Beauty is Divine". When it first started, it was strictly a softcore teen glamor site. I don't believe it had any videos, only photosets. Each photoset had a small number of photos, and the models were uniformly lovely. The photography was high quality. Then the site name was changed to X-Art, and they started adding videos, and changing the approach from softcore to erotic glamor, which slowly evolved to glamcore, where the photosets and videos show actual sex.
Photosets can be viewed online, or downloaded.
Photosets from the last few years have about 100+ photos per set.
The earliest photosets had 25 or fewer photos per set.
Download options include a zip file in three definitions:

BOTTOM LINE:
If you like tender young teens, in gorgeously photographed photos and videos, then this site is worth visiting.
As I said, this is one of my favorite glamcore teen sites.
Current Member for less than 1 month (at the time of review).
Pros:
-No DRM.
-No download limits that I found. The first day, I downloaded 12 high-definition photosets and videos with no problem. The TBP review states
there is a download limit, but I didn't find one.
-Outstanding quality in the photosets and videos.
-High percentage of lovely or attractive teen and early-twenty models.
-One month discounted price of $19.95 with PU discount.
-Zip files for the photosets.
-The models are presented attractively.
-Some truly outstanding, lovely girls.
-Can stream or download videos.
-Updates 3 times a week.
-A behind the scenes blog can be interesting.
-Good download speeds. I get 1.3 MB/sec, which is my max download speed.
-DownThemAll download manager works fine at this site.
-Model listing. Single page, with nice sized thumbnails to show each model, makes it easy to search through the models.
Cons:
PROS (CONTINUED):
-There is a model bio. Gives name, country, age, a few personal facts.
-Good sound control. Apart from the unnecessary passages where they have a music background.
-The content is mainly exclusive, as far as I can tell. I did see one video that was also posted at beauty-angels, part of the Teen Mega World network: model Sasha D, video titled "Between the Sheets", is the same video posted at beauty-angels titled "Melika". The model is named Melika
at beauty-angels, and the video is also named "Melika". But the X-Art site offers more download formats than the beauty-angels site, as well as
offering higher definition versions of the video. Teen Mega World gives nice choices for video definitions, but X-Art gives high-end video definitions.
-Easy login.
-Long time before site timeout.
CONS:
-The cons are basically minor. This is an outstanding site for erotic teens.
-If you want gonzo or rough sex, look elsewhere.
Bottom Line:
CONS (CONTINUED):
-The soundtrack could be better. They play a music background on the introduction of the videos, and it would be better to have no music.
-Also, in the introduction of some videos, they try to add artistic touches. So instead of giving you a crystal sharp video image, the image goes in and out of focus, which is annoying. I want to see the girl clearly, not a bunch of out-of-focus images.
-Sometimes, you're in the member's area, you click on a hot link to see a video or photoset, and you are transferred to the preview section for non-members; so you have to log back in to the member's area, and try again to download the video or photoset.
-There are a few errors in labelling their hot links. For example, the site offers 3 hot links to download the photoset of Izabella Carr titled
"Red Velvet Goddess". You are supposed to have 3 choices of 1200 p, 2000 p, and 4000 p. But the 2000 p and 4000 p links both download photos of
2000 p. There is no 4000 p photoset.

Theme is erotic softcore and hardcore. Site started out years ago as a softcore photo site of beautiful young models, girls in their teens and
early twenties. The photosets were small, but nicely photographed. No videos, photos only, girls only, no actual sex.
Then, a few years ago, they started adding sex in their photosets. And started adding videos. They now offer high quality photosets and videos of solo female masturbation, girl-girl lesbian sex, boy-girl sex. The sex is sensual or erotic, not gonzo.
The site is well designed, making it easy to navigate.
You don't get the massive quantity of a mega site/network like Nubiles or Teen Mega World, but if you like the sensual, erotic approach, this site is well worth visiting.
Videos can be streaming or downloaded.
Download options include: wmv, mov, and mp4 format.
Download resolutions may include: 960x540, 1280x720, and 1920x1080.
But on a 15 inch laptop monitor, even the lower definition 540p videos look good.
The videos are short, mostly from 6 to 12 minutes. A few videos can hit 18
minutes. The quality is so high, you wish they were longer. You get good professional camera work, good lighting, good colors. The newer videos are being offered in 1080 HD, with bitrates of 8500 kbps or higher.
The photosets are high quality, as well. The number of photos per set varies widely, from 1 to 70 or more. The girls are so gorgeous, you wish there were more photos in each set, especially the sets from 5 years ago or more, because the early photosets had 30 photos or less, of lovely young models.
The girls are young (18 to 21), Caucasian, slender. Very little variety in the models. But they range from attractive, to fucking beautiful.
-The "Behind the Scenes" section gives a glimpse of how the photosets and videos are shot, also gives a little bit of the personality of some models.
The site advertises itself as "Premium Quality HD Erotic Videos and Photography." I think that's an accurate description.

Pros:
- Low price. You can get access to this site for less than the cost of an issue of playboy.
- Clean organization. You can favorite sets that you like, search by model, and see top rankings. I found the search function reliable and extensive.
- LOTS of content. They update multiple times a week and have 100s of sets available.
- Public shots. Appx 25% the shoots contain women flashing or being risky in public places.
- A diversity of body types (sort of). Most of the models fit the mold of gorgeous early 20s beauty. They also include many other beautiful women, while certainly not catering to those tastes - beautiful women are appreciated in all their forms.
- Racial diversity. Maybe 15% of the models. It would be nice if it was more but that's better than most
- Mostly natural. This site focus on beautiful women as they are. While some are "enhances" it's not typical
- Many amateurs, while I have seen somefamilialr faces. Most are women I haven't seen a million times before
Cons:
POS Continued:
- Newer shoots (Within the last 2 years or so). Have short (under 10 minutes) videos. Mostly of the girls being silly.
- Users can make comments so you can see which models are getting the most buzz.
CONS:
- I'd like to see the addition of tags. It would be great if they were user editable. Right now you can comment and give feedback. It would be even better if users could help expand the search.
- Search is too broad "Black" returns models wearing black, african-american models and girls with black hair.
Bottom Line:
It's been almost 3 years since I renewed my membership. But this time I did a full year. This is a great site that does what it sets out to do (not something all sites can say).
I've started using their stuff as my rotating desktop wallpaper. After all, what could be better than seeing a beautiful 1/2 dress woman as you work?
I appreciate that the site doesn't try to be all things to all people. It's not a hardcore site. They do "teasing" and do it well.
Since coming back I've noticed they have more total nudes then I saw in the past. While I love the naked female form, I don't know how I feel about this. Part of what I liked about the site was it left a little something to the imagination (sort of like the playboy magazines I used to sneak, a million years ago).
Zach, the owner, photographer, makes excellent use of twitter, Tumblr, Instagram and other social media. I would check out his work (as well as the preview page of the site) to see if this scatches you itch. Really for the money he charges I think it's a great deal.

Pros:
One of my favorite sites I consider it a guilty pleasure
Incredible site for those who love pictures of pretty young women
Around 1,500 picture sets and all are downloadable
There are over 300 videos you can download
Classic-style navigation that will make you wish for the old days
Three to four updates per week
Cons:
If you prefer videos this site might disappoint you
The price is $40 per month, but they do offer a half price promo to past members
Bottom Line:
This site first caught my eyes when I noticed a sample set of their photos. It was of an adorably cute, but also very sexy, young woman with the tiniest amount of baby fat still showing above her bikini and those increasingly hard to find banana boobs. I joined the site just based off those samples and that was maybe 8-10 years ago. I still only join the site once per year, but that’s more me being a cheapskate and needing constant change, than anything against the site or its quality.
The navigation will remind you of sites that were popular not that long ago. Everything is spelled out for you along the top of each page. Updates/Model Directory/Photos/Videos and the second row has top videos, top models and the one that tells you, you’re on a high quality photo site, “top photographers”.
You may be thinking it’s like Met-Art and you wouldn’t be that far off. The difference being, the settings, in my opinion, the quality of each and every set that makes it to the site. A lot of photography sites have small picture sets, but all the sets on Showy Beauty have at least 100 photos and there are no duplicate poses.
They also update weekly, usually 3 times, sometimes 4 and every update is at least worth viewing, maybe even downloading. Porn has changed so much, so fast, over the last 5 years and this site is a perfect example of showing the change. Showy Beauty sets out to show you a beautiful model, let you appreciate her dressed and even in normal poses, to fully nude with legs spread. I have never viewed a picture on SHowy Beauty that looked like a wasted picture or pose.
The videos aren’t bad, but those are mostly the softcore type videos you are probably used to. The videos have background music and it’s kind of like watching a filming of a photo shoot. I much prefer the photo sets and it does make me wonder if other sites put more time and effort into their photo sets if we could possibly see a resurgence in the popularity of photos? At times, I do feel like I’m desensitized to the numerous but similar, all out hardcore, videos we can find on nearly all porn sites.
The models are nearly all A plus level models. Nearly all models are 100% natural. You won’t see many if any tattoos and you will see more of the bodystyle we used to in porn. The small waist, medium chest, medium to curvy hips and butts and you will see some pubic hair too.
I don’t expect the site will ever become a hugely popular site, but it should. This is very much the porn that most of us were first introduced to. It just seems like many of us wanted more and more, but didn’t take time to figure out the older style was enough. As my imagination becomes a part of my porn viewing pleasure, I can do so much more with photos that leave it up to my imagination to think what happens next than just taking the word of a porn producer who decides what happens next. It’s a great site that seems to only publish the best of the best of their content. I’m rating it as high as I think I can score a site that focuses on photos.

-Some updates are from sets from past. (This could also be a pro. There have been sets posted of models that are popular today but set was taken when model was much younger than they are today.)
Bottom Line:
This is my personal favorite that I visit daily. SIte is clean and very easy to navigate. There is multiple updates per day; typically 1 updates for several of the sites in the network. The image and video quality is superb. Though not listed on their join page; I was able to contact them and obtain a lifetime membership option. I was also offered options to add additional sites for a fee per site for life. There is mostly softcore & glamour shoots here but majority are very intimate with close up shots of these beauties. There is many galleries/videos featuring fingering and toys as well as girl/girl and guy/girl hardcore via SexArt. There is commenting & rating allowed. The users are very positive and informative. You can add your own tags to galleries and videos which making finding things again easy. The model rating system is well thought out and you can follow a model which gets you an email anytime they have an update. Unfortunately there is not a page to view all the models you have favorited. The network site allows for you to view all the network sites or you can view the sites content independently. There is an absolute massive amount of high quality material here. I also love that when viewing a gallery you can start a slideshow with options on speed and image size. There is also links to the previous and next galleries which makes browsing very easy.
Really the only thing I don't like about the site is it was confusing exactly which sites you get when you join and I've seen variations of which site depending on where you look. Some sites cost extra in addition to your network membership. I also don't like that some models have different names depending on which site they are on. It would be nice if they would combine them and list the names as an alias. You can't view a list of models that you have a favorited.

Pros:
Exceptional...
If good erotic videos are to your taste, you will absolutely love this site.Its got a clean uncluttered look. Navigation & search is easy.
The model pages have a brief description about the models, on the video page you get a complete description of the videos.
The video quality is great at 1080p & gives about eight download choices. Even for streaming you get about seven choices.
The photo sets even though only 1920x1280 looks sharp.
The download speeds were good & consistent for me.
Cons:
I you are someone who collects picture sets, you will be slightly disappointed. Even though the pictures are sharp, it relatively small size compared to the HQ images we are used to seeing nowadays.
Found some sets with only 15 pics & no zip download option.
The collection is not huge... But that would be nitpicking since its a relatively new site.
Bottom Line:
A great value for money site.
Like I said at the beginning, if good erotic videos are to your taste, you will absolutely love this site.
