Was a member approx. 2 months prior to this review.
Pros:
First of all the contend was what was expected.
Many good photographer contribute to this side.
New photos can be shown in medium large and extra size, zip file is only available for one size only.
About 8 pictorials per month, more or less.
Cons:
Downloading the zip file is long-winded and time consuming. The zip link brings you first to a site where you have to accept these (shortend) agreements:
"Dear Body in Mind Member,
To protect the women who share their beauty with all of us from photo piracy we ask that:
1) You agree not to share, email, post ...
2) You agree to allow the photos in your zip to be watermarked ..
..
6) You understand the penalty for copyright infringement is $150,000 ...
7) You understand the criminal penalty ... is 5 years in prison.
..
[x] Yes, I agree not to post photos or share zips"
This has to be done when downloading EVERY, really, every time before you can click the "Download ZIP Now" button.
The second annoying thing is when trying downloading zips in parallel you got the message: "Service Temporarily Unavailable"
Bottom Line:
I can recommend this site only for patient people, someone having plenty of time (retiree) or not interested in downloading images as zips.

Pros:
The content is quality. The photo galleries are zipped and many are availible in various qualities (low/med/hq). The videos are available in multiple formats (wmv/mp4/mov) and qualities as well.
The site offers an array of beautiful women, mostly European with a good dose of Latin & Asian models. Most of the content is female only (solo or all girl), but they have couple (m/f, etc) galleries & videos too.
The site offers search for female talent and content (Red Head, Cum Shot, Dildo, etc) which helped in navigation.
I also loaded my download manager with over 100 links and let it run with no problem. So many sites nowadays have limits or cookies that reset, no problem here. The site also met my internet speed limit, no lag at all.
Cons:
Many of the women listed mid 2008 or before (going back to 2004) have their videos/galleries unlisted from their model page; but in some cases the content is still on the site. For example, Trina Michaels is listed as having 1 gallery, but there is not link to it like the more recent models. I found not only 1 gallery, but 2 so far, not by searching her name, which draws a blank, but by perusing content searches. On top of that, I found 1 video so far.
If you're a fan of male stars you are out of luck, they are not searchable or labeled in any way.
Bottom Line:
It's a good site. Huge and high quality across the board, content wise. If they ever modernize the search ability it would be an A+ in my book.
They update everyday (literally) and there is so much to look at & enjoy, it's well worth the price of admission. Just be prepared to look around. There is a lot to see. :)

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:
1200 pixels
2000 pixels
4000 pixels
Videos can be streamed online or downloaded.
Download options have choice of many definitions:
The download choices for one recent video include:

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.

Pros:
Billing by CCBill with no regional pricing
Reasonable price of $19.95
Exclusive content.
The 59 gorgeous models include a wide variety of ethnicities from Asia, Africa, South America and Europe.
Site updates consistently every 2 days.
Stunning high resolution photos available in 3 sizes.
Zip downloads.
Photo set covers included in zip files.
Some nice background info on the models included.
Additional features include model ratings, comments and add to favourites.
Cons:
The video section is very small; only 13 videos total and only 1 new one added in the last 12 months.
Videos are streaming only.
Many of the photo sets are split in to two parts although they do generally come as consecutive updates.
Zip file naming could be better; model name plus number (e.g. emilya_1_m, emilya_2_m), would be nicer if they could include the photo set name.
Navigation could be better.
Search tool is rather limited.
No file sizes listed for zips.
Download speed seemed a little slow; single downloads seemed to be limited to about 600 KB/sec.
Bottom Line:
Melina.com claim to be professional photographers who travel the world to find the best looking girls whom they claim to be exclusive to the site and 100% newcomers. I certainly didn’t recognise any of the models as being familiar from other sites and even tried cross referencing a few at thenude.eu but came up with a blank so have no reason to doubt their claims. This is primarily a Teen site with the models mostly being aged 18-21. The big attraction for me in this site was the varied ethnic diversity of the models which you seldom find on multi model sites. I loved discovering the dark skinned, dark haired exotic beauties from places like India, Thailand, Philippines, Chile, Venezuela and Brazil to name a few. The site has been online a little over 2 years and to date has 414 galleries (31,000+ photos).
The navigation options are rather limited with a choice of models, galleries or videos. The models page is nicely presented with a good sized preview photo of each model along with her name and number of galleries, pics and videos. The models are listed by rank starting with the highest rated. You can also click on a letter of the alphabet to find models by name alphabetically. There is a basic model search that allows you to search by eye colour, hair colour, ethnicity, tattoos and piercings. The annoying thing about using the search engine or the alphabetical listing is that after you select a model in your results and hit the back button you are always taken back to the default models page so have to click back to the letter of the alphabet or search again. If you select galleries the whole 2 years’ worth of photo sets will be presented on a single page with a preview photo of the set cover so a lot of scrolling involved. Down the right hand side there is a month and year list but clicking on it doesn’t actually take you to that month’s updates. It just expands a list of text links for the dates in that month when there was an update, not very helpful really without a preview pic.
The strength of the site is the photo collection; this is top quality professional photography equal to anything you would find on top photography sites like MetArt. In fact in some ways I preferred the photo sets here to those at Met because the models almost always start off wearing some clothing, lingerie or swimwear so you nearly always get some tease before the nakedness. I don’t really recall seeing any of those plain vanilla nude sets you get a lot of at MetArt. There is a good mix of indoor and stunning outdoors locations. The models here get fully nude including some spreading and close up shots but don’t go as far as masturbation or insertions. The photos are offered in 3 sizes (+1000px, +2000px and up to 5000px).
Anyone who joins this site for videos I’m afraid would end up sorely disappointed. There are only 13 videos and they are streaming only. There are 4 quality levels of streaming; HD720p, 480p, 360p & 240p for mobile. I didn’t find the 720p very sharp when viewed full screen on my 24 inch monitor so have my doubts that it’s true hd. The videos are mostly 2-3 minutes long and are just basically the model dancing around and stripping with background music. I didn’t find them very erotic at all.
For anyone who loves high quality photography I would recommend this site particularly if you have a passion for dark dusky exotic beauties. If you’re only interested in videos I would advise against wasting your money on this site. The poor video section wouldn’t adversely affect my rating of the site as I have little to no interest in them anyway.

Pros:
Billing by CCBill with no regional pricing
Fair amount of content; 121 models, 178 videos, 575 photo sets (approx. 29,000 pics)
Some nice high resolution photos up to 2333x3500px in size
Photos available in zips.
Videos can be streamed or downloaded.
Some basic model info provided.
Cons:
Updates are being rotated.
Zips all have the file name “photo_zip” so you are required to rename every single download yourself.
Only 1 photo size available.
Small square thumbnails don’t properly preview the images.
Photo sizes are inconsistent. The high resolution photos mentioned under pros only make up about 20% of the sets, more than half the sets are a meagre 533x800px or 669x1000 px.
Videos short with the average of the ones I watched being about 3 minutes.
Only 1 download option available for videos usually around 720x576 wmv @ 2000 kbps. (A few of the newer ones come in at 1280x720 @ 8000 kbps)
I had a high failure rate on video downloads, (maybe it was just a bad day)
Very basic site layout and navigation.
No way to search or sort the models or updates.
Typical of most British sites this site is also very soft being mostly topless with occasional mild nudity.
Bottom Line:
The only reason I joined this site was due to a half price email promo offering a membership for $12.50. I thought for that price I can’t really go wrong considering the site featured many of the same British models I enjoyed collecting from sites like Only Tease and St. Mackenzie’s. The content here is typical of the softcore tease type of content you find on most British sites which is what I expected with the emphasis on sexy teasing and stripping rather than explicit nudity. There’s plenty of sexy lingerie, stockings, heels and pantyhose on show here.
Although the site is named Love UK Glamour Girls only about 20% of the content is marked with that site name. When I first joined up I started downloading the oldest updates first from August 2010 which were the nice 3500px photo sets carrying the Love UK site name. As I worked forward through the archives I was surprised when I reached August 2011 and the photo sizes suddenly dropped down to 800px and carrying the site name Mackenzie Girlfriends. I guess they must have stopped shooting new content and started padding the site out with low resolution filler content from another site. Everything dated from August 2011 up until March this year is Mackenzie Girlfriends branded content so in summary you end up with 114 nice sized Love UK Glamour Girls photo sets and 461 Mackenzie Girlfriends sets in much lower resolution. The Love UK sets are all solo shoots while much of the Mackenzie GF sets are shoots featuring two or more models as the name would suggest. Around 145 photo sets on the site feature Mackenzie who is the British model Mackenzie White who also plays the part of Head Mistress Mackenzie at St. Mackenzie’s.
The video quality is fairly mediocre by today's standards apart from a few of the latest ones which play at 720p. As with the photos they are mostly just stripping and teasing and although quite a few videos contain two models don’t expect any hot lesbian action, there’s only a bit of kissing and touching. Many of the videos I tried had a musical backing and in some I could see a flash bulb going off.
Navigation is very basic, you only have “updates” or “models”. Click on updates and you get all the updates listed on one page from the current date at the top to the oldest at the bottom. When I first signed up the oldest updates were from August 2010 but today the archives only go back as far as November 2010. The reason? In their attempt to deceive you in to believing the site is still updating daily each day they are simply removing an update from the bottom of the page and placing it back at the top with the current day’s date. On the model index page the Mackenzie Girlfriends models are listed separately from the main models. Click on a model and you will find a very brief bio listing just her name, height, measurements, hometown and star sign followed by a thumbnail listing of her photo sets and videos and at the bottom of the page a list of links to other sites that she appears on.
Overall I thought there was some ok content for the $12.50 that it cost me but for the full price of $25 quite frankly there are plenty of better sites where you can spend your money if you want to see some of these British girls.

Pros:
Twistys offers thousands of very beautiful models.
Offers thousands of scenes and photos, many exclusive.
Can chat with the stars.
TBP huge discount on first month.
Cons:
I joined thinking the girls would offer something different, like twisting their bodies and unusual positions. Not so. It's similar to other sites out there.
Roku support not offered.
Places where links or movies don't work.
After TBP 1st month discount, site renews at $29.95/month. I think this is overpriced for what they offer.
Too much solo action, too few one on one.
Bottom Line:
Twistys is a nice clean site, but compared to others listed on TBP it is similar. They offer some exclusivity. The prices are above average. For my limited funds, I find better value elsewhere. I'm glad to have tried Twistys, but it's not for me.

Pros:
-Many attractive models
-Decent sized site overall
-Navigation is good
-Good variety of softcore, lesbian, hardcore
-Camerawork is generally good
-Zips of photosets, newer ones in 3 quality levels
-Newer videos are of respectable quality, typically 4 options available (SD wmv, HD mp4, SD mp4, and portable), I generally downloaded SD mp4
-No DRM, download managers work, respectable biller
-Most girls are natural
-Frequent updates, generally a photo and video set every day
Cons:
-Sort of expensive
-No network access, no bonus sites
-Older videos and photos are substandard quality and older movies are often split in parts
-Not a lot of diversity in model body type or ethnicity
-HD scenes seem larger file-size wise than they have to be
-A fair amount (maybe 1/5 or so) of the video material is "behind the scenes" type of stuff, I don't mind it, but could be a negative for some
-Some material is not exclusive
Bottom Line:
Generally I think this site is pretty good, but not great. I sort of don't get the whole setup of all the ATK sites, what makes this one premium, is this site exclusively the hot girls? In general, I guess this is the case compared to some of their other sites as the hot/wtf ratio seems to be a good bit higher.
I liked the material here for the most part, but for some reason felt a bit disappointed here. Can't really put my finger on why. Most sites I join, I spend a fair amount more time poking around and checking things out, but I got tired of this one pretty fast for some reason. That isn't to say that they don't have some good material here, they certainly do, I just wasn't super-excited by it I guess.
As for the site itself, the navigation is pretty good: model index, scene ratings, scene tags, it is pretty easy to get around. The girls are generally of the thinner more natural body types, and they have both American and Euro stars.
Overall, I think I would recommend joining this site to those that never had before, but I don't know that I would recommend it as a repeat join even given the update schedule. They seem to do most things very well, and the models are generally quite attractive, so it is certainly worth a look.

Pros:
-Discount through PU. $14.95 instead of $29.99/month.
-Easy login. No captcha.
-Can view photosets as slide show or download the zip set.
-Long time before site timeout.
-Good download speeds. I'm getting 1.3 MB/sec, my max download speed.
-DownThemAll download manager works at this site.
-Choice of download version quality: Many videos have a WVGA480, HD720, and a HD1080 version.
Cons:
-Uncheck pre-checked cross-sell.
-Search could be better. Search term "Christine Maddox" returns any photoset with the name of "Christine" as first name or last name, instead of specifically returning only photosets with the name of "Christine Maddox" included.
-Also, either they are missing photos of past playmates, or the search does not return all the photos of those playmates. For example, the annual photoguide of past playmates of the year photos are sometimes not included in the search result. There are other past photos of playmates and models that are either not on the site, or not returned by a search of the model's name.
-Some bugs in the navigation or site structure. You play a slide show of Susie Scott, and it only plays a few of the 24 photos in the set, then stops. Can't get it to play/show all the photos in the set.
-Photoset of a playmate does not include the data sheet.
Bottom Line:
-Back in the 1960s and 1970s, Playboy was the premier "gentleman's magazine". Penthouse was a close second. Both those magazines were renowned for their nude photography, as well as their articles and fiction and interviews. They were money-making machines that brought their founders vast wealth. Those days are history. Both Playboy and Penthouse have flirted with bankruptcy in recent years.
This is supposed to be a softcore glamor photo and video site. Given the Playboy name, you would expect to find superior, high quality photos and videos of their models.
-I don't know why, but there are superior copies of their onsite photos available elsewhere. Years ago, I belonged to a newsgroup, and I collected the photos of most playmates.
You look at the photos at this Playboy Plus site, and the photos just don't have the same impact as the photos that I collected. The basic image is the same, but the images I collected from the newsgroups were more striking.
-Some photos are mis-labeled. You play a slide show of a photoset, and instead of identifying the model(s) in each photo, the label shows the title of the photoset. So you have to know from other sources (or your own special knowledge) who these models are.
-No choice of download version quality for zip photosets. This is surprising. For a photo-oriented site, the only option I see is for one definition of a zip file download, not the standard 3 definitions that many photo sites have of low, medium, and high quality.
-The quality of the "high definition" video files can be poor. For example, the video for "stacy-fuson-paymate-of-the-month-vid-01.mp4" is 1920x1080, total bitrate is 6049 kbps, which would seem to indicate a high quality, high definition video. But the frame rate is 7 frames/second, which might explain why the video is a poorly defined video picture. I've seen the DVD which this video is made from, and the video is much sharper than the video you download from Playboy Plus.
Let me be clear. Watching the downloaded video is like watching a shitty version of the video you should be watching.
The streaming version of that video is better quality, but nowhere near the quality of Metart, Diesel Access network, or other fine sites. The video quality of a streaming video at Playboy Plus is actually below the quality of the Teen Mega World videos.
That is amazing to me. Don't the people running this site realize the video quality of their videos is so poor, compared to the better sites on the internet?
Maybe they are blind to the poor quality of their photographs, which is not as bad as the quality of their video downloads. But the obvious degradation of their video download files is pathetic, for a site that is supposed to empasize the beauty of the female form.
The site does not use DRM. But the poor quality of the video files I have downloaded, in effect, means you can not save a high quality video file. And I am going to sign up for a new membership to a newsgroup, because I believe I will be able to find better quality photos of past playmates from a newsgroup than I can find at this Playboy Plus pay site.
I don't believe my expectations for this site were too high. But what I've found at this site, in terms of photo image quality, and video image quality, is a massive disappointment.
Not all videos are as bad (poor definition) as these 2 videos of Stacy Fuson. The videos of Erika Eleniak are better. Not great, not as good or defined as high quality sites like Metart or Diesel Access, but still better than the Stacy Fuson videos.
Giving the site a score of 68. I believe the quality of the photos at the site is inferior to what you will find at high-quality sites like Metart and MPL Studios and Femjoy.
And the quality of the videos is even further below what you will find at those other sites.
Comparing the photo and video quality of this site to high grade sites on the internet, you begin to realize the Playboy brand has really fallen from its former quality standards.

Pros:
excellent picture and vid quality, easy search of models.
Cons:
Video presentation can be downright awful with every single video opening with constant fadeouts to a blank screen and back again. One video of a new update in february is 12 mins long the first 3.5 mins are unwatchable because of this constant fading out. Weather its supposed to be arty or something I just find it extremely annoying and distracting when I want to be concentrating on the action of the girl, not wondering if the video is going to fadeout yet again. This is a MAJOR issue for me.
Bottom Line:
Excellent all round but but the terrible presentation in the opening minutes of videos really must be sorted out.
Was a member approx. 4 months prior to this review.
Pros:
+zip archives
+lots of models
+high quality images
+exclusive content
+great amount of content
+3D images
Cons:
-some photos are grainy
-no various scenery
Bottom Line:
This is a great softcore site with some GG scenes with a great variety of gorgeous models. The site is very easy to navigate with archive list of the side and where you can sort either the model, photos, videos by most recent, name and by rating. MCN does update regularly with a lot more diverse models.
There are over 180k images on the site with 5616 being on the long side for larger images. Each set has an average of 40-75 images per set. MCN does offer zip files and really good download speed. All 3D images are (long sided) 2000 by 1333.
I don't have any info about the videos, for I didn't have time to download them. But, I do know that they have over 500 videos.
This site has to be in my top five softcore sites I've been a member of and I think any softcore fan would like this site.
Current Member for over 1 month (at the time of review).
Pros:
-The finest softcore teen glamor site on the Internet.
-A huge amount of photosets, number of individual models, number of contributing photographers.
-Easy login.
-Long time before site timeout.
-No DRM.
-No download limits.
-I use DownThemAll download manager, which works at this site.
-Fast download speeds. I normally get 1.3 MB/sec, which is my maximum download speed.
-CCBill billing agent, which is one of the best credit card processors around.
-Search engine to allow you to search for models or photosets or photographers that you might like.
-Wide range of locations for the videos and photosets. In studios or houses, in fields, forests, at lakes or oceans or beach, they pose their lovely models to best advantage to show off these beauties.
Cons:
-The cons are basically minor. This is without a doubt the finest softcore teen glamor site on the Internet.
-The sheer size of the site (number of photosets, number of models, number of videos) appears to turn some people off. Instead of appreciating the massive amount of content, many people seem to
think the site has too many photosets to go through, and that, because there are so many gorgeous gils, that the models themselves are not as attractive as they really are.
-Metart has a patent on filming gorgeous naked teens and making the videos boring and a waste of time to watch. This is something I've wondered about for years: It's just a wasted opportunity of attractive models.
-The site will disappoint those looking for midcore or hardcore action. This is strictly a softcore site. No boys are in any photosets. If there are two girls in a photoset or video, their interaction is extremely softcore. No masturbation or fondling of the other girl.
Bottom Line:
As I've stated many time in the past, this is the finest softcore teen glamor site on the Internet.
There is an amazing amount of content. The site updates with 4 to 6 updates daily, which is just amazing for a single site.
Site statistics:
Number of photosets: 12,534
Number of videos: 1,045 Movies
Number of models: 2,766 Models
Number of contributing photographers: 250
Number of photos: 1,365,839
Those are staggering numbers, that blow past any softcore teen glamor site that I'm aware of.
Metart is the giant in the field, not just in terms of quantity, but also quality. Since it's start back in the late 1990s, Metart has featured high-quality teen softcore photography from leading photographers around the world.
The photosets are offered in three sizes for both online viewing and for download:
Low definition, medium definition, high definition.
The videos can be streamed or downloaded in three definitions as well: low, medium and high.
Metart was the site I picked for my first review for PU in 2008. At that time I gave the site a score of 97. That turned out to be the highest score I've ever given to any site. Since that time, the site has only increased the number of models and photosets and photographers. I think the review I did about 4 years ago is still basically accurate today.
One difference is that the Metart live shows/live chat have changed. Metart used to offer an in-
house live chat that featured a number of girls that were live each day for a number of hours
daily. The public shows were basically free. True, you could pay for a private show, or you could tip a girl during her public show. But it was basically a free source of entertainment, and the girls were friendly, and the shows were not designed to maximize the amount of money the members would pay to watch the show. That seems almost quaint today. Most live shows I've seen recently try to get the members to pay to watch the girls perform.
Metart no longer has the in-house live chat shows. Instead, they offer a link to a commercial live chat program designed to make money off the members. I believe it's cheaper to go to a topless bar than to watch a private live cam show.
Lately, the site seems to have loosened their rules, and allow two girls to kiss in a photoset or video, but the kisses are almost chaste. The sample video in the preview pages gives a false impression the site has erotic videos. It's true the videos inside are of naked girls, and many of the models are attractive. But I can't emphasize enough how boring these videos are.
I complain about the boring videos. But because of the massive photoset content, the high quality of the photos, the number of photographers that contribute to this site, the site deserves its reputation as best in breed of teen softcore glamor sites. I gave the site a score of 97 about 4 years ago, and the site has only improved since then, adding more content, trying to make using the site easier to use over time, changing the default filenaming system to make the filenames more descriptive, and in other ways they try to make the site more user-friendly.
I am giving the site a score of 99.
How could they improve this site, to give it a perfect 100?
That would be a fantasy project:
1. They could delete almost all their
videos, and hire whoever shoots the videos at X-Art or the Diesel Access network. But that would mean a change in the Met-art philosophy, which stresses softcore porn.
2. They could send their models over to my house, where I could tell if their models are really as attracive as they look. At my age (I'm in my 60s), I couldn't do that much with these girls, but it sure would be nice to try. But that might be illegal. So maybe they could hire me as a stunt cock. Again, that would mean a change in their softcore approach. But maybe they could start a "Metart meets an aging fan reality show", because reality shows are very popular today.
Unfortunately, that's only in my dreams.
For $20/month with a PU discount, this site is a fantastic bargain. Or $99/year, which is an even better deal if you join the site for a month and believe the site is worth a long term membership. I think the site is like a museum of Most Erotic Teens, which I believe is the former name of the site, from which they changed it to MET-Art. For a softcore teen site, this is truly the best in show.

Pros:
Some very quality shot porn, highest quality seen anywhere with directors being superb on occasion.
Great choices of downloads, no complaints there, they give you choices and not too sill like over 3 gb like you see on some sites which was good to see.
Great photography, not really my bag but with models like Gloria and Stasha, gonna have to see more of these amazing girls.
Easy navigation on the sites and done very modernly.
Cons:
Not enough anal scenes for my liking.
Too many toys, would prefer never to see a toy again in a porn video.
Would of liked more group hardcore scenes.
I'm a movie man so don't quite understand having a girl like Stasha come in and only do a photo set of her when she is even more amazing on film, at least offer both would be nice.
Bottom Line:
I liked the site don't get me wrong and I'm just saying my preferences in making it even better would be.
Ok first off my fav niche of all is BGG and even better if both girls are also doing anal, this is the ultimate in porn but sadly rare on sites, I dream of a site that just did threesomes with girls like this, doesn't matter if its GBB but I prefer two girls with a guy. Then foursomes are also good. So would of loved more.
More anal one on one scenes. (my second fav)
Lesbian scenes, when done right bloody damn amazing, the Britney and Zoe movies should be a blueprint on erotic lesbian movies the first girl date could and should win lesbian erotica awards, I don't say that lihtly either, both girls are as yummy as you can get and shot to perfection and really beating most lesbian only studios, I love slow, lots of kissing, perfect girls, great camera work. Some scenes I found too many toys, hate toys in my lesbian porn and would of also loved some ass licking in some of the scenes. Some scenes didn't even have pussy licking, which to me I found a little boring I ave to say, watching two girls masturbate with dildos seems a waste of hiring them in my eyes. But then there are scenes like Margot and Millagres and The lesbian scenes in with Gloria, that just tickle my softer lesbian palette.
Solo stuff too, would love much less toy work, love to the see the girls flirt with the camera more like Stasha ,Gloria and Jasmin can do. Stasha in one scene with the bath (sadly no more than two scenes which was painful to find out as she is probably top 5 hottest girl alive) I also have Gloria in there too, who is a natural beauty and doesn't need loads of makeup to look stunning. Anyway back to Stasha, she is looking over top of the camera and flirting down into the camera, such a unique and perfect angle I've never seen done, would of been great to see her or more scene like this with them even kissing the camera, would make for an awesome movie. I also would love to see some dancing to music and doing some naked dancing, its very hot to watch and not many sites have discovered it, not like strippers more fun in a room in the home and have them flirting with the camera, if they are good dancers it can really be amazing eye feast.
I guess the wow porn will grow which I look forward and not going to diss it too much cause it is a new site so doesn't have hundreds of movies yet.
So overall not bad and well worth the money of the deal I got, no complaints. I would join again but looking forward to joining next 18 only girls and if I read right the new network membership coming back this weekend or next, sounds great and I think its awesome if its going to happen, I would for sure be joining back there.
I'm giving it such a high mark cause seen some absolute gems of movies that would be worth the joining fee alone.
Still its probably never going please me fully cause it is more for the softcore fans so could go any higher.

Pros:
Some of the models are really beautiful
Most are at least good looking
Most are natural, not enhanced.
100% original content
Exclusive models as far as I can tell
Reasonable variety of body dimensions
Cons:
Well....
Sets are not dated.
Unknown update frequency.
Can't tell if sets are recycled.
No HD found so far
Images and zips are 1600x1067 MAX!!
Navigation is a little clunky
Site is mostly bathing suit and lingerie shots.
Models are not very animated (most just standing)
Softer than soft core...really a bikini site with extras.
Not a particularly good value at $29.95.
Bottom Line:
About 210 models and 1475 sets.
Very few videos but all are decent quality.
Sets have between 30 and 120 images.
Vast majority of sets are bikini/lingerie sets.
This is an odd, sort of misidentified site and I just can't understand why they didn't define it better. (Sorry TBP...) Probably 97% of the girls are NOT NUDE! This would be a classic tease or bikini site if it were not for the occasional nude set. Even the nude sets, most of them anyway, are not particularly revealing. I've seen more on the Chive, Maxim or free web sites. Much more. But then, oh wait, there are two or three models that get naked and provide extreme close-ups. Waaaat? What's THAT about? No wonder TBP had such a hard time defining the site. It's like the sock drawer of nude sites! Most things in there match up with a specific genre ou would expect, but rogue loners to make you wonder what's going on....
Maybe the next best way I can define this site, besides as a tease site, is outdated. Navigation is good but not ideal. You can filter the models by odd preferences like "wet" (as in water),"fishnet", "see-thru", "blond" and, oh yea, "nude" and even "extreme close up" which is just wierd compared to the rest of the site. You can't select multiples, so no way to see wet blonds, etc. And "see-thru" applies to a top worn over a bathing suit as often as something you can actually see parts through.
When you select a model, you get a list of her sets. The sets have tags like "fishnet", bathing suit", "nude", etc. that match the search parameters. These are site defined. Select a set and you get the first batch of 30 thumbnails. If there is nudity, it is often very late in the set. Some sets have over 300 images, so you have to go through 10 pages or more to see everything. You can also navigate directly to a page. Or you can download the entire set in a zip file.
The sets are not dated, so you have no idea how old they are. You also don't know how many images are in a set until you look. The image or file sizes are also not listed. The tags are helpful, but "nude" in this case might mean a nip slip. Ad if the model is nude, chances are pretty good that they superglued her legs together. Many of the girls that are nude are all crossed up like they have to pee! Some are only topless. One kind of interesting thing is that the girls may go nude but cover up everything with thier hands....until they turn around. That all of a sudden you'll get this beautiful standing rear view. The photographer seems to have a knack for these rearview shots as they occur pretty consistently in clothed and nude models.
Oh, yeah. The photography. Competent. Nothing special. No photoshopping. Some studio sets. Since most of the girls are clothed, it looks like the photographer often takes the models to a local hotel pool or maybe some gardens someplace. You can tell that many of the model sets were shot on the same day with the same locale. Nothing even remotely exotic in the locations.
Now if you are LOOKING for a bikini site, this one is probably not bad, but the occasional rogue naked close-up model kind of messes up that niche.
If this were my site, I would probably break it up into a "network" of three sites that might include bikini, lingere and nude sites. The price I paid, $29.00 was probably about $10.00-15.00 high considering comparable sites with tens of thousands of high-resolution images and HD videos.
Bottom line? If you are looking for some exclusve non-nude photography and don't mind a little nudity mixed in, this is a good site for you. If you are used to the top softcore sites, pass on this one...at least until the price comes down.

Pros:
- Daily updates
- Good range of models
- Good streaming player that lets you skip in the movie easily
- High production values; great photography and videography
- Genuinely erotic; interesting scenarios
- Browse by model and photographer - and all updates dated
- Transparent preview - you can see what you will be getting
- Attractive outfits and lingerie
Cons:
- Music is overdone on some videos
- Some sets too big
- Limited search (there's a keyword search, but no browsing by age/hair/ethnicity etc)
- Some very low light sets
- Archive material is uninspired
- Regional pricing bias (but easily avoidable)
Bottom Line:
The Life Erotic is a site which has been on my radar for a while now... I had been put off in the past by the comments and reviews, which made it seem uninspiring. But when browsing through some TGP sites I visit to keep er, abreast of what's around, the shots from TLE are always the ones which grab my attention more than any others, by being atmospheric and interesting... so I eventually got round to trying it.
It's tricky to review, as it's almost two different sites, having changed direction about a year ago - and tangub's review very accurately reflects the site it was, before then. The pre-2012 material is very lacking in inspiration - a few raunchy photo sets, with the model masturbating or opening her pussy - but they are cookie-cutter softcore glam and the others are dull, Met-Art style posed beauty shots, with little atmosphere or erotic appeal. The videos are sometimes more raunchy, with some masturbation - but in most cases they are ruined by insipid music drowning out any sound of the model, and with it any atmosphere.
But then it becomes exactly the site I've been looking for. A surprise, as it's part of the Met Art network, the main site of which I find a bit dull - TLE uses some of the same photographers and models, but here, free of the constraints of their absolutely-no-naughty-business rules, they shine. This is the site Met Art should be, and it's telling that almost all the material I have downloaded is from this more recent face of the site; which defines it as largely solo (occasional girl-girl) nudity and masturbation.
I liked:
* The models - mostly European, some American, some South American - many I have not seen elsewhere, but some popular models. Ages up to late 20s which works for me as I find most younger models unable to carry off real seductiveness; there are also a fair number of unshaved models too, which is my preference. A quick scan through the models list shows approx 400 here.
* Atmosphere - most sets here are subtly lit, with no glaring studio lights. Some sets feature models in attractive, casual clothes - which come off to various degrees, but generally enough to see everythng. Others feature nice, sophisticated lingerie... which again, luckily, comes off.
* Sets - no faux-lux neo-regency stuff here. Sets are in a variety of locations, from subtle indoor shoots, to abandoned buildings - all of which let credence to the scenario.
* The level of explicitness - none of this artiness comes at the expense of detail. Many sets and videos feature explicit masturbation; some with toys and often closeups which most photographers manage to do here in some detail but without it seeming gynecological.
* Quality - videos are available in a few sizes and formats up to 1080p. Photos likewise - the upper resolution depends on the photographer and is up to 5K; otherwise they all have 2K and 1K.
* Daily updates, probably 1 in 3 or 4 of which are movies. Prior to 2012, they were maybe half as frequent. So very roughly - 2012 onwards, 300 photo sets + 100 videos; prior to that, maybe 400 photo sets + 100 videos.
Some things I didn't like:
* Some of the newer videos are still ruined by daft music. Don't do it!
* Some sets are just too dark, and there's little detail to be seen - and I suspect many PUers' tolerance will be lower than mine.
* Some sets are huge, both in terms of number of images, and in file sizes - I like tightly edited sets and too many here are over 100 pics. Some zips are 500Mb which is daft - even at 5K they could be compressed more aggressively. When the next option is 50Mb of 2K pics, I want something in between.
* Some scenarios miss the mark; but it's good they are experimenting a bit...
The scenarios being the most important part of the site. They are inventive and creative; many have some kind of story to them and it makes them both more voyeuristic and believable - without eschewing action. Some videos I liked include the model:
...In an abandoned building, eating an apple, letting the juice run down her as she masturbates
...Walking into an hold house, getting vaguely ghostly echoes of a past occupant... then reenacting it by masturbating
... Returning home to find a note left by a secret admirer... getting worked up over it, and masturbating
...Getting dressed up for a night out... then getting a text cancelling it, proceeding to undress, and masturbating
...Shaving per pussy with a bowl of warm water... then gulping more from a jug, letting it spill from her mouth onto her breasts while masturbating
...Chatting on IM with a lover... him suggesting she undress... which she does, and proceeds to masturbate on cam
There is a recurring theme there - and many of the videos come with matching sets, so the photos are as good and explicit.
This site genuinely earns it's name and is recommended for erotica fans; and to help emphasise the new direction of it, I have given it the benefit of the doubt by basing my score largely on that aspect.

Pros:
--Lots of very beautiful girls here! Updates 5 days a week (one set each day; works out to 260 sets per year, total of about 870 sets at this time).
--Exclusive content as far as I can tell, except for just a few photo sets
--most recent pics are in the 4000 to 6000 pixel range (long dimension of print size sets). There are 2 resolutions (screen size and print size).
--all sets have zips, and I get good download speeds. No excessively large zip files here!
--generally good photography
--first month price is only $4.95 (rebills at 9.95)
Cons:
--Primarily a photo site (I only found 2 videos)
--The navigation has a number of issues, and could be improved in that regard (see below).
--No search feature or search tags here at all. You have a chronological index and an alphabetical index.
--Too many outdoor sets for my taste. Also, roughly 50% are all nude sets (no clothes to strip out of).
--Occasional photo sets have poor focus (I thought it might be poor quality scanning from slides, but the webmaster told me they are not scans).
--The first 26 galleries from 2009 don't have galleries that can be viewed on the website--they only have zip files to download. Shouldn't be that much work to fix.
--The site is advertised as the more explicit alternative to the parent site (Domai.com), but there are still some sets that aren't very explicit.
Bottom Line:
I was a member at Domai.com about 4 years ago, and came accross Goddess Nudes recently when searching the model indexes for some of my favorite models. Several of my favs had sets there, and when I saw the price was 4.95 for the first month, it was a no-brainer to join. Goddess Nudes is run by the same guy who operates Domai.com. I remembered Domai as having not very explicit photo sets, that were mostly all nude and mostly outdoors. Goddess Nudes is advertised as a similar site to Domai, but with more explicit photos.
Once I joined, a quick perusal of several photo sets showed that was true, but I have since come accross a number of sets that disappoint me in that regard. My ideal solo girl photo/video site would have a good variety of poses in every photo set, to include several spread leg and pussy close up photos in every one. You get that in some, but not all, of the sets here.
The models here are generally very beautiful eastern European girls in the 18 to 25 age range. There are quite a few that I have not seen anywhere else. There are some popular European models here, but perhaps fewer than at other sites. For some reason very few of these girls are listed at my favorite model index.
I remembered Domai as having almost exclusively outdoor sets, and that appears to be the case here as well. I'd like to see more indoor sets, especially some in nice luxurious beds.
Roughly 50% of the sets here start with the girl having some clothes on (I didn't really do any counts of this, so I may be off a little). The other 50% or so are all nude. There is not much slow seductive stripping, although that is something that is hard to do properly with photo sets (much easier and better with video). Many of the clothed sets start with the girl in bra and panties.
I found some occasional photo sets with poor focus. Most of the newer sets are very good, but overall this site falls short of other top photo sites like Met-Art, Femjoy, and MPL Studios in the quality department.
The site is set up almost identically to Domai, which is to say, it has some navigation issues. When you log into the home page, there are currently about 3 and half months worth of photo sets on the main page (roughly 75 sets). Each set has a large thumbnail on the left side of the browser window. Only the left side of the browser window is used, so the end result is that the page is at least 4 times longer (top to bottom) than it could be if there were 4 thumbnails going accross the page. OK, not such a big deal you might say. But when you click into a photo set, and then back out of it, it takes you back to the top of the home page. You then have to scroll all the way down back to where you were (while trying to not get distracted on the way). This also happens on many (but not all) of the yearly index and alphabetical index pages as well. I know there is a way to code in html that takes you back to where you were on the previous page, but that is not done consistently here.
You might think with 260 photo sets a year, each yearly index page would have links to sub-pages for each month. Nope, you get the same extemely long (top to bottom) page that includes all sets for that year. You might also think once you were in a given photo set, that you could click on a link to show all of that model's photo sets. Nope, you have to go back to home page (which sometimes prompts you to log in again), and get there via the alphabetical index (which again often involves lots of scrolling).
These are not huge issues--you can still find you what need, and with 870 photo sets, the site isn't so large that these issues would be a deal breaker (though I hope Domai isn't still like this). Still, it doesn't seem like it would take that much work to come up with a better design.
All complaining aside, the bottom line is the bottom line. This site only costs $4.95 for the first month, and for me that was a great deal. I got a good number of zip files of some gorgeous girls, including several of my favs. Definitely worth checking out!

Pros:
superb picture quality and video quality is excellent in later videos. Mix of formats further back, f4v, wmv. Pics are huge and some pussy shots on full size are delicious...you can see every fold of skin in the most amazing detail!
Cons:
slow downloads. some video files can be as much as 1.5gb in size so make sure your hdd can handle it.
Bottom Line:
I find this an excellent site with superb quality content for this niche. Beautiful girls outdoors and indoors in a mix of corsets, long skirts and dresses, battle armour and also sack cloth all of which comes off by end of scene, and also a fair few swords and knives too. No lingerie whatsoever!
Current Member for over 3 months (at the time of review).
Pros:
-A nice number of cute or attractive models.
-High quality videos.
-High quality photosets.
-Easy login. Once you have logged in, and saved your login information, to re-enter the site, just click on the "member login", you don't have to re-enter your login information.
-One update per day. Either a photoset or a video.
-Content is dated by when it's posted to the site.
-Long time before site timeout.
-DownThemAll download manager works.
-Good download speeds. I get 1.3 MB/sec, which is my maximum download speed.
-Simple site design. Makes it easy to search the videos or photosets by model or by posting date.
-No download limits.
-Preview section for non-members has large-sized thumbnails of many of the models, so
you can see what they look like, and if they will appeal to your taste.
-Free access to the Diesel Access Live shows. These are live shows/live chats that
feature a few models that appear at the Diesel Access network and the Wow Girls site.
Cons:
-Cons are basically minor. This is an excellent site.
-No model bio. These girls are so lovely, it would be nice to know at least something more about them. No age, no physical statistics, no background information, nothing.
-Trivial point: eliminate the background music on some of the videos. It doesn't add anything of value.
-This is not a con, but more like a suggestion: Preview section for non-members has 10 video samples that give you an idea of what the videos are like. Each video sample is only 16 seconds long. 30 seconds or even 60 seconds would give you a better idea. Or be a sport and make each video sample 90 seconds. The sample video is supposed to be a tease, to make you want to join. But I think a longer sample would be more effective.
-Not all photosets or videos are hardcore. Some photosets show only a topless girl. Some photosets show topless and bottomless, but no sexual activity.
Bottom Line:
This site is brought to you by the same people who run the Diesel Access network (Young Legal Porn, 18 Only Girls). But here, instead of being part of the Diesel Access network, this site is marketed as a separate offering.
But the main point is that this site offers the same approach in their content to the Diesel Access network: girls that are in their teens or early twenties, girls that are clean with little or no tatoos or piercings, a lot of young girls that are attractive to really lovely. And the photosets and videos are high quality: professionally photographed or videotaped, good focus, good sound control (very little random
noises), good lighting, good colors (skin tones, etc.), clean, sharp photos and videos.
Number of videos: 205+
Number of photosets: 349+
-Choice of definition for download of videos: HD 1080p, HD 720p, SD 480p, LD 360p.
-You can download selected scenes from each video.
-Streaming options include: 360p, 480p, 720p, 1080p.
(The LD 360p is for iPods.)
-Choice of definition for zips for photosets: 1000 px, 2000 px, 4000 px.
The site offers a variety of porn. The sex is not gonzo or rough. It is young girls who are are enjoying themselves in a variety of situations:
-A solo girl undressing partway or all the way. It may be simple nudity, or nudity with slight masturbation, or heavier masturbation.
-Two girls together.
-Sometimes three girls together.
-A boy and a girl.
-A boy and two girls.
Each video is broken down into scenes, with an illustrating thumbnail, so you can get an idea of what the model looks like, and what the action is, for each scene. And the individual scenes in a video can be selected for either download or streaming. So the site gives you a easy way to select how to treat these videos and photosets for your own individual taste.
This basic approach/setup is used for the Diesel Access network and at the Wow Girls and Wow Porn sites. It's an extremely user-friendly design that makes the site easy to use. The fact that the videos and photosets are high quality, and that many of the girls are extremely attractive, means you don't have to hunt through a pile of junk to find the hidden jewels: Some of the girls are fucking lovely, and their videos and photosets prove it.
As a bonus, if you remain a member of Wow Girls over a certain period of time, you probably gain access to Wow Porn. That's the way it worked for me. I was a member of Wow Girls, and one day when logging in to the Wow Girls site, I was given the choice of logging in to Wow Girls, or to Wow Porn. There was no official notification of when I first gained access to Wow Porn. And when I first joined Wow Girls, there was no notice that Wow Porn would be a bonus site if I stayed a member for a certain period of time. Actually, I had never heard of Wow Porn, before it popped up on my computer screen as an alternative choice to logging in to Wow Girls.
I'm giving Wow Girls a score of 92. That is based on how attractive many of these models are, the high quality of the videos and photosets, the ease of use of the site, and the nice amount of content at the site.

Pros:
+ Full access 7 day trial for $10 through TBP
+ Almost all original content. Some shared DDF and Holly Randall content.
+ Lots of content: About 650 hardcore photo sets and 4800 pic sets overall and all sets have zip function. About 1500 videos.
+ Membership includes Suze Classics for those looking to fill their 80's and 90's porn fix (that site factors into all the stats mentioned here).
+ Newest pics have 2400x1600 resolution and newest vids are HD with 1080 resolution. Newest vids have a stream option and multiple download options including wmv and mp4 files.
+ Good consistent download speeds of between 1MB - 2 MB/sec up to 6 channels.
+ Starting to remaster some of the old content
+ If you like glamor porn this is probably one of the best sites to visit. Has porn star from today back to the 80's.
+ Multiple weekly updates and all updates are dated for future reference.
Cons:
- Search function and tags are a mess and not real helpful.
- There is a model directory but no model info.
- No screen caps or ability to preview vids. I couldn't make the stream function jump ahead, I had to wait for the movie to buffer in order to jump while watching on line.
- Quality takes a nose diver prior to 2010 with no HD vids and pic sets maxing out at 1000x1600 with most sets having smaller pics. Older vids don't have stream capability so you have to download them to know what they're like and the quality can be almost unwatchable by today's standards.
- Fairly generic porn with mostly known porn stars.
- Some advertising on each page.
- There is a forum and FAQ section but it looks to be pretty much dead.
Bottom Line:
I last joined this about 5 years ago and dug it since it had a lot of content, decent pic sizes and decent videos for the time. However, time is not always kind and this site has been left a bit in the dust and it's caused me knock 8 points off of my original score. Here's the lowdown:
PICS: I still this site primarily as a photo site. There are more vids now but pix are what Suze got started doing back in the 70's and this is what Holly Randall, who does the shoots today, mostly focuses on. Tons of pics but most sets have less than 50 pics which is a bit skimpy. The sets, at least the older ones, also have jumbled material so when you look at them online or unzip the folders the content doesn't progress smoothly from beginning to end. This was the case 5 years ago and is so today. The oldest material (probably half) has pic sizes that work only if you view porn on your phone. They are slowly (I mean slowly) remastering some old stuff into larger sizes but only by scanning the original pics which results in some graininess. Everything has zips.
VIDS: The newest vids are great but there aren't a lot of them. As mentioned, the lack of a preview or screen caps isn't fun, especially when probably 2/3 of the vids don't have in browser stream options. The quality is all over the board to on the older vids, some are fine and others aren't worth it. Personally, I got frustrated because I'm not going to DL and watch a slew of vids just to see if I like the content.
NAV: Navigation, in a word, "bites". The navigation is the same system they've since they opened I think and it shows. You can search pix by tags but you can't search videos this way, you have to search all "hardcore" for example to find the vids mixed in with the pix. You only get 10 search results by page and you can only jump ahead or behind by a few pages. When you have 100's of scenes with the same tag this is a pain. Also, if you relied on the tag "hardcore" you would think they stopped shooting hardcore in 2010. Nope. You have to look under different tags to find the newer stuff. Some vid scenes of the same photo shoot also have different tags. A small minority of tagged scenes do not appear in the tag search results either. Basically this site is too big for this crap and it definitely hurt the final score. They need to scrap the status quo and start over on the layout and search/tag system.
I liked this site more before because I was more into glam sites since most amateur or gonzo sites didn't appeal to me. Now, when I look it and see the over saturated colors, small editors choice photo sets and porn stars past their prime doing generic scenes it doesn't do as much for me. DDF, 21stsextury, the WOW sites, teenmegaworld and others do a much better job of giving you fresh faces, quantity, quality and all in a more user friendly package.
Overall, I still recommend the site given the vast amount of original material it has and the ability to look at the "classic" porn of the last few decades. Also, a lot of the content is decent in quality and the stuff within the last 18 months or so is top notch in terms of HD vids and large pic sizes. So, it's worth a join but probably not for month, the 7 day trial is probably all you need unless you have limited time to hunt through the site to find all the goodies.

Whilst they do provide clickable tags and keywords there is no actual search engine.
Bottom Line:
After a couple of months of browsing the highly polished glamour content at DDF I really fancied something different so ended up here at Cosmid attracted by the lure of some real amateur girl next door type models and I have to say I’m thoroughly enjoying this site so far. According to the site these girls are not models or porn stars, just ordinary girls with normal day jobs, students, waitresses, bar tenders, office girls. I’d estimate around 75% of them are from the US with some British and Prague based models thrown into the mix. Whilst there is a good variety in model type from petite to voluptuous and even a little bit chubby, anyone who likes large breasted girls will surely be in their element here. When God was handing out tits many of these girls must have been at the front of the queue. There are a few heavily tattooed and pierced models as is the trend amongst young women these days. Most models are aged 18 to mid-20s with just a few older ones.
The content is nearly all softcore solo posing, teasing and stripping although many of the models don’t get fully nude. Some of the more recent content has become a little raunchier with some models like Brittany Burns and Larkin having some toy masturbation videos. I’ve also come across the odd lesbian video and a blowjob video but they are difficult to find and I certainly wouldn’t sign up expecting to see a lot of that type of content.
You can browse all the updates in chronological order or by highest rated and also select just photos or videos. There’s also a model index which can be sorted by most recent, alphabetical, age, hair colour, model type (non-nude, topless, nude), boob or butt size. Each model has a short bio listing their age, occupation and location with a short paragraph of background info. She also has a list of physical attributes such as hair colour, body type, boob size which double as clickable tags so if she has large boobs click on that and it will bring up a list of other models with large boobs. Individual photo sets and videos also come with additional clickable keywords often relating to the outfits and lingerie to help you find similar type sets. They could really do with a proper search engine to allow you to search by more than one criteria though.
The photo quality is pretty consistent throughout the site. I only found a handful of the earliest sets with a resolution below the standard 1600 px size. They did announce in the blog last August plans to upgrade the photos to 3000 px and offer them in 3 different sizes which would be cool if they get around to doing it. They don’t provide the models with a wardrobe or make-up artist so you see them as they are stripping out of normal every day clothes. The photography is generally of a good professional standard with nice sharp well lit pictures but they do post the complete shoot without any editing or photo shopping so you will find the odd photos here and there where the lighting is not quite right or there might be some out of focus or blurry shots or the model is pulling a funny face but it all kind of adds to the amateur appeal. Overall I found the photos quite tame, even with those models that do nude shoots you will find the nudity is not that explicit.
I normally find solo videos boring and don’t spend a lot of time watching them but I did however find them a little more entertaining here than normal. I particularly liked some of the amateur style self-shot videos where the model is on her own in her bedroom or the bathroom, chatting to the camera, teasing or dancing, sometimes stripping followed by masturbation or toy play depending how far the model goes. The videos normally last about 6 to 10 minutes. There does seem to be a bit more explicitness in the video collection than the photos. Videos can be downloaded in 1280x720 wmv or mp4, 976x548 mp4 or 480x272 mp4 for ipod or psp. Prior to 2012 you only get the one download option which is 1280x720 wmv.
Overall a highly enjoyable site and these amateur US models made a refreshing change from the same old Euro models I keep seeing on nearly every site I join.

Pros:
-Some old John B Root films are also available on the site. French Beauty and some others are really top class
-French models you cannot find elsewhere. Also many videos and photosets from the big names from France in their early days
-Mostly exclusive content. Some released as DVD's. They claim to have 750 original videos but quickly looking I'd say there's well over 1000 videos although the early ones are almost unviewable by today's standards
-Newer videos are very good looking 720p (.mov) available in multiple formats in lower res too
-Photos in up to 3000x2000 resolution with kind of amateurish and artful feel. Available as zip archives (the actual files are sometimes 9 folder levels deep inside the zip!)
-Good variation between soft and hard content. From solo posing to anal fisting, dap and such
-Compilation videos are good idea. They are like film releases made from scenes of a same theme. Easier downloading
-Reliable billers and no regional pricing
Cons:
-Videos and photosets are separately listed. You have to do some searching to find the matching one if there is such
-Streaming player isn't very good. I couldn't skip forward to parts not yet loaded
-Somewhat mediocre download speeds at little over 3MB/s, sometimes lower, still tolerable. I had some larger 3-5GB compilation type best of files grind to halt or timeouting requiring restart as the downloads are apparently not pauseable
-Site navigation can be a bit clumsy at times, returning blank pages, requesting resending data when navigating with back/forward after filtering and sorting scenes and so on
-Videos can be quite short and skip right into action. Some might consider it a pro
-Condoms. I understand the need but would rather have my porn without
-Compilations feature duplicate content between each other and single scenes (obvious)
-Photos are probably taken during video shoots as they look like they could use more flash light
Bottom Line:
John B Root is a French pornographer of some fame and prestige, or so I think. This site is dedicated to his productions with various models and genres. The sortiment is really wide indeed as the site ranges from soft glamour and casting photoshoots to the most hardcore sex imagineable (DP, double anal, fisting all imaginable orifices), often with the very same girls at some later time. The whole site manages to capture sort of classy feeling that has both glam appeal but also sort of amateurish feeling you get with less used models who seem more confortable and often also seen having honest good time with each other. Mostly it's songle shoots but also complete John B Root films are avialable for download. The single scenes are often released at different times as photosets and videos while the full films come with very large attached photosets and usually a making of kind of film as long as the title itself and photosets from that too. The makin of pieces are necessarily not that sexual in content themselves but interesting watch nonetheless when you can see a small team of mostly actors and actresses travel to an exotic spot and shoot a movie filming each other and working as lighting assistant and such in each others scenes.
Photography is obviously in equal role on this site with videos. The photos are large and quite sharp with kind of amateurish but artsy feel to them. Pictures in zips lack on processing and they could be brighter to begin with. Also the are bit lowish on saturation when compared with leading photo sites and the likes of 21Sextury.com and DDFProd. That's partly post processing issue but the photoshoots could be bit better lit. No such issues with videos, they are bright and crisp. Only complaint is that they are bit on the shorter side and you can often see one cameraman in the picture of another camera. Photos are available as zips but even that could have been executed somewhat better. Some zips have 9 levels of loders before you reach the files while others have the file names start with "\" character making them invisible in Windows until extracted with some app like WinRAR.
Video offerings are top class in quality and 720p .mov has reasonable file sizes although it'd be nice to have 720p also in some streamable format. Besides normal single scene or half a scene videos, they also offer compilations that are videos put together from a number of scenes with similar content or same actress. The idea is good since these are easier to download than individual scenes although it's often hard to preview what you'll get. They obviously have duplicate content with the single scenes but sadly also with other compilations so you end up wasting some hd space. The bigger scenes also seem more likely to timeout while downloading. Some feature films are also available for download, and of course few dozen old John B Root classics directed for Marc Dorcel and others.
You can find many models on this site not really found elsewhere. They also have many bigger names that either started here or did scenes with John B Root at some point of their careers. Famous names include Angell Summers, Liza Del Sierra and some really early scenes by Melissa Lauren. Then there's many hot French actresses who probably never made it ouside France or had longer lasting careers in adult entertainment, personally I recognized Mathilda and Ally but if you've seen early 2000's Marc Dorcel DVD's, you'll likely find other familiar faces too.
Technical side is bit shaky here. The download speeds can vary a lot. I never got anything higher than 3,5MB/s when downloading a single file with DL manager but especially with the bigger files the rate may vary a lot, even stopping at timeswith restart needed so prepare with some time before starting download them. The site design is good looking if not so functional, it might be bit hard finding what you are looking for. The embedded streaming viewer is not that good for previewing, especially the big files as you can not skip forward to what has not yet been loaded. When you sort videos or photosets and try to browse back and forth between them, you often get blank (expired) pages sent to you with need to resend data or have your sorting preference disappear. Using right click and open in new tab helps a lot like it did with 21Sextury when they had similar issues.
All in all it's a bit hard to give rating for this site. Content is great in my opinion but the technical side could use some work, especially the slight download issues. Technically I would have rated this site 80 tops but the content is just great and unique and overweights the issues. Most of my cons are just minor nitpicking after all. French porn is sadly quite limited these days and this site is probably the strongest contender at the moment. Personally I wish Marc Dorcel launched a site in English that qualified for TPB.
Was a member approx. 6 months prior to this review.
Pros:
-Attractive, often gorgeous models, often shot early in their careers. Upscale location(s) for the photo shoots help out too.
-Excellent video quality! The HD videos are really good!
-I really like the pussy close up videos-they are very well done.
-Many of the masturbation videos end with real orgasms and oozing girl cum.
-Most of the models have an interview video that does a good job of letting you get to know them a little better. The models can also post a comment on their experience with FTV after the shoot is done.
-They do have occasional lesbian videos which I think are well done. I really liked Malena Morgan and her gf.
Cons:
-the photo sets are almost an after-thought, and although they are pretty good in general, the one thing they lack is size (many are only 1500 px on the long dimension). This is probably my biggest gripe, especially since they have so many really hot models.
-site navigation could be improved with a better search engine. Its organized by update date, and you can search models alphabetically. Having said that, from my perspective there really are no search tags that can reliably find models I really like. You never really know until you watch their videos.
-there seems to be just a few main locations that most of the videos are shot, so you will start to recognize them again and again. One place that they use for most of the outdoor shoots is some type of office building--usually there aren't many people around, so it appears they go out there on the weekends. There is also a nice house (mansion really) that they use for the indoor shoots. Still, more variety would be nice.
Bottom Line:
FTV stands for "first time videos", and while it may not be true for every model that FTV was her first porn shoot, its probably not far off. Many of the girls still have a youthful energy and innocence that you usually don't see in your average experienced porn star.
FTV has been around for quite a while, so there is a lot of content to go through if you are a first time member. It took me 4 months to go through the most recent three years or so. The updates only come once a week (one new model, each with about 9 to 12 videos and 4 or 5 photo sets), so its not a site that I would stay joined to forever. Rather, its the type of site that you go back to once a year or so, after your initial membership.
FTV has a few themes that feature heavily in its videos: public nudity and flashing (usually 2 or 3 of a models vids will include this); masturbating with extremely large dildos, vegetables, and/or hands (fisting); and real masturbation videos that often include extreme pussy close ups. The public nudity and extreme insertions don't really do much for me, but I love their masturbation and pussy close up videos. That along with the model interviews, "freshness" of the models, and excellent video quality are what I really liked about this site.
Bottom line: there is a huge amount of quality content here. Definitely worth joining!

Updated:
12-30-1203:26am (Update History) Reason: Added important info about the shortcomings of the search engine
Pros:
Met-Art has a huge number of very attractive models (2700+). A new user could easily spend months going through the entire site. They usually have 4 to 6 updates a day. Excellent photography overall. This is primarily a photo site. They have videos, but they are very soft core. It is also primarily a solo girl site--the occasional "lesbian" sets are really just 2 girls posing together. Another thing worth noting (not necessarily a "pro") is that their Met Live Cams is just their name branded version of Streamate. I don't think there is any advantage to accessing it through their website, and I've only seen one Met-Art model there (Malena Morgan). The main attraction here is the huge volume of quality photos of beautiful naked women.
Cons:
The videos are way too soft core for my taste. They are really just an extension of the photo sets. There is no masturbation and not enough explicitness in the videos for me. The site seems to have a rule against the models touching themselves, so there is no pussy spreading here. Too many models don't do explicit pussy photos. The 2-girl photo sets are not lesbian photo sets--they are pretend lesbian photo sets. There is rarely any actual kissing, and no pussy play etc. I guess the site has a rule against actual sex. I know thats their niche, but it does get annoying sometimes. Many other sites have shown that it can be done tastefully. Some of the photo sets do suffer from less than top quality lighting (this seems to be an issue with some of the European photogs). A lot of the sets have too many redundant photos--by that I mean photos that are nearly identical. This makes many of the sets unnecessarily large. Some user submitted search tags do not seem to work at all.
Bottom Line:
Probably the best soft-core porn site out there, with a huge number of very attractive girls, quality photography, and lots of daily updates.
One month is nowhere near enough time to explore all of the content. In fact, narrowing down the 2700+ models to find the ones you like is the most problematical aspect of Met-Art. Their search engine uses 9 standard tags (e.g. hair color, breast size, etc), and this is useful to a degree. They also have user submitted search tags which potentially could be much more useful. For example, you can search using the term "beach". However, many of the user submitted search tags do not return all sets that have that tag. One example is the term "perfect pussy". Its in the 100 most popular user submitted tags, but when you enter it, only 15 sets are found, all of which have the word "perfect" in the name of the set. It would be very useful if they could get that fixed. Bottom line though, this a must join site, even if you only try it for a month.
Update: I contacted Met-Art support about the user submitted search tags not working. The next day I got an email back from them, stating that they had corrected the problem (I checked, and they did), and as a way of thanking me for alerting them to the problem, they gave me a free two week trial to one of their other sites! Sweet!

Pros:
The first thing that struck me about this site when I joined was how gorgeous their models are. You would be hard pressed to find any other site with more attractive models. The site is primarily a photo-set site, although they do have quite a few videos as well. Most of the videos are strip and masturbation, although they do have a few lesbian vids as well. The photo quality is very good to excellent overall, although some of the sets do suffer from less than top notch lighting. If you are a fan of Macy B from Met-Art, I have to point out that this site has her best and most explicit work. She is definitely one of my new favs. I joined with their current (as of Dec 2012) discount of $19.95 a month, which is well worth the price. No problems with site navigation or download speeds. They do not permit multi-threaded downloading, but thats not a problem for me, as I dont need the entire catalog.
Cons:
A fair number of their models are somewhat shy, and do not do any explicit pussy photos. This applies more to the earlier than the recent models. Another minor quibble is that some of their videos are released in parts, each about 5 to 7 minutes long.
Bottom Line:
Gorgeous European girls posing nude! Mostly a photo site, but more video as of late. The discount price is a great deal.
Current Member for less than 1 month (at the time of review).
Pros:
-Good Quality photos high Resolution 2958x4000, sharp, well lit, rich color, high contrast. One of the best quality photos I've seen. Around 670 sets.
-Videos have the same quality as the photos. Videos range from 720p to 1080p. Later ones being 1080p. Around 60 videos
-Models look great. The way they are photographed and have their hair and makeup done make them look better then on other sites. Using Sara James as an example aka Ara on this site, a model I've seen on other sites like Nubiles, twistys, Alsscan. This site literally present models in their best light.
-Fantasy Theme is nice. The armor pieces and other costumes seem to look authentic. The overall theme gives the models more personality.
Cons:
-Not many videos. Site is mainly Photos.
-The Site itself is not the best looking site in the world.
-Models have Pseudonyms.
-Links don't expire but there are times you have to reload the links when downloading.
Bottom Line:
This site is mainly a softcore photography site. There are some videos and photos with hardcore content. I would not say it is ultra softcore ie MET art because they do have models masturbating, and with closeup spreads although some photosets are that way.
The photos are some of the best quality I've seen. It would be great if they updated more then 12 times a month.
The videos are mostly masturbation scenes. A couple are hardcore. They usually consist of an intro of the model walking around or doing something . Then it goes into the solo action. Videos are accompanied by music which may not be a plus.
The only thing that is holding this site back is the amount of updates. It would be great if they had daily updates. The quality of the photos are great, rivaling and topping some more well known sites. If you like softcore Photography this site is definitely worth a try.

Pros:
- A long-running site that is a good place to start as a porn collector.
- 1920x1080 on the videos over the last 3 years
- Pictures come zipped
- Weekly update could be considered a con
- They do continuously get amateur models in their first or at least close to their first shoots
- Good download speeds, around 90% of my max download speed.
Cons:
- My biggest gripe is with the pictures. I never understood the purpose of having a "superpic" section where the webmaster decides to put 3000 high end and 4000 high end zips for his favorite sets. These are not that often and the vast majority of sets are only 1600 high end.
- Has been in a slow decline, could be because I've joined it once or twice a year, will further in BL.
- That one weekly update just isn't enough and will further this as well.
- No real reason to complain about it since they do separate the videos into parts based on the action, but it's becoming a con to me not to be able to download full scenes.
Bottom Line:
FTV has had its really strong years. If you've never joined the site would score higher than I'm scoring it, but I just can't give it a higher score based on my most recent join.
I'll start by saying I had everything I wanted from the site up until March 2011's updates. I have always liked their style of photography and most of the videos as well and have kept those on an external. I probably wouldn't have rejoined if not for a promo that dropped the price nearly in half. Even then, as a returning member, I'm not for sure I feel like I got my money's worth. For this whole membership, I downloaded and will keep:
14 models, videos and pictures.
I'm sure the everyone has different tastes rule applies here, but only 14 models appealing to me out of 70-75 since my last membership just isn't good, at least not for me. In comparison, I have over 200 FTV models, so you can see how it has declined for me. I would normally find 30-40 per year I liked, this time it was 14 in 20 months.
It's possible it could be more than just the model's not appealing to me. The scenes, similar to how they have always been, have several videos for each model being more playful and acting silly than being nude. Maybe I'm just getting older and find those more irritating than cute? So you can decide on that one. If you like that style of porn you can disregard my negativity towards it.
The picture size is a no longer an excuse situation. Saying we're going to post 3000 or 4000 high end resolution photos on our (FTV) favorite sets and make the other 90% or higher only 1600 high end is unacceptable to me. You're catering to members not your own taste or maybe I'm wrong on that.
What this equals for me is a site that isn't appealing to me with as many models. Then you just get one update per week with a 1/5 chance I'm going to even like that model, only 4 updates per month, so my 1/5 chance isn't looking so good. A premium price if you join it without a promo, only to find out you only get the highest resolution photos for the sets they pick to do those high resolution ones on. Videos broken up into parts and the scroll like mad navigation, all of which are minor problems by themselves, but when added together make for a big problem. Something has to give. Either the price goes down or more updates or added or you give full scene downloads or you give 3000x4000 resolution pictures on all sets. Or be daring, give them all for the premium price and I won't bitch about the price.
Having said all this, I won't throw FTV completely under the bus, so to speak. They have their strengths. You will see pornstars you know of, but most of their sets were shot early in the model's career. You do get to see a different side of the models than on nearly all other sites. And when they do it, you get some of the best exhibitionism content available. If you've never joined it, I would give it one of my highest recommendations for a first time membership. You also will see some models you've never seen before and probably won't see them ever again. The video quality is as crystal clear in 1920x1080 as any 1080p porn videos I've seen. I think that just hurts the lower resolution photos since it's obvious they have the ability to shoot extremely high quality video. And the superpics section ends up becoming more of a poke from them to say, "we could be giving you these resolution photos on every set". May not be their intentions, but it sure seems that way.
I also don't care for the girl/girl content which has become more common. This just goes into a whole feeling of, there are lesbian sex sites out there that do it better. I didn't list this in cons though since it's no worse than having a pretty girl do cartwheels for 5 minutes. I do get the feeling and have had the feeling before that as a member, you're going to get content based on what the webmaster likes or has fetishes for and still feel that way. I would like to see more variation in the models too. There has never been a maximum age limit on the models and they used to shoot more mid to late 20s models. It now seems like a purely teen site in the newer updates.
As I'm leading to recommending it, there has to be some stipulations added here. If you've never been a member or have only been a member once or twice, it's still a definite join and recommendation. If you're like me and have the majority of the archive and are only missing the last year or so, look at the previews and decide if enough of the models would appeal to you. I should have, but I was shocked to find a promo through, I think Twistys, that I just jumped on the deal before checking out the newer updates. I'm running out of room, but will add a comment about what seems to be a slightly different version of their site, not for sure if it's a mobile version or if it's a new format since the promo I used sent me to it instead of the regular site.
