Updated:
05-09-1103:23pm (Update History) Reason: Upped to original score because refund was promptly issued after a Billing France mistake.
Pros:
59 models by my count, (I might be off by a couple) who are generally quite appealing. Most have at least seven picture sets and 6 - 8 videos.
HD videos being offered at 720p and 1080p.
Picture sets being offered zipped at 1000, 2000 and 4000px.
Multiple downloads possible.
Detailed search, once you have figured it out, allowing you to search by every possible criterion, from body shape to setting of shoot and everything in between.
Original concepts in some shoots.
Regular daily updates alternating between picture sets and videos.
Cons:
I hate to say it but I found most of the sets very bland, and even those containing lingerie were far from what I expected from the camera of a lingerie fetishist.
Many of the shoots are ill-lit, greyish in tone or too soft. (See Anais update, January 11, this one was definitely not ready for prime time unless the photographer was being artistic.) The wrong color is often used in the studio shoots. One model who was shot in front of a blue background looks ghastly, like a drowning victim.
The same question might be asked when it comes to focus. Is the photographer doing it for artistic effect or is it a mistake that the head of the model is blurred while the genitals are in sharp focus, and vice versa. One sample set even contained a foot in focus while everything around it was blurred. Affectation or artistry?
Many of the 4000px photo shoots I downloaded lacked detail and looked more like enlargements than Ultra High Resolution.
Videos are only between 2 and five minutes long.
Bottom Line:
Okay, I could have kept on going about many of the videos being nothing but an actual photo shoot being filmed, or that most picture sets look more like screen caps when it comes to composition and positioning of the models, or that the navigation is highly confusing to the newbie, or that the file naming could be improved, but I think you get the point by now that I liked very little about this site.
I also believe it is in search of an identity:
There is artistic nude modeling, there are outdoors, exhibitionist shoots, there is lingerie etc.
I would say there are eight different categories in all, because most models have that many sets, all with a different motif from the others.
This would make it awfully hard for anyone, no matter what their taste, to like this site for very long because with only 50+ models one can download one's personal niche in a day or two.
Of course if you are less discriminating than I and like every setting, or if you tend to download models rather than themes, then you would be fine for the month.
I did like a lingerie set or two (talking about my own niche) but even there I was greatly disappointed. A flimsy wrap or nylons and garter belt in a handful of pictures does not an erotic set make.
Especially if so many pictures of the short sets (60 - 90 pics approx.) are out of focus in important places.
I did like the originality of having some models start out nude and then get dressed in their finery, rather than the other way around.
I also enjoyed the way their short interviews were conducted (4 - 5 minutes) by giving the model a handful of cards with questions on them and they could reply, or not, if they felt like it. No pressure put on, no offensive questions by the interviewer .. a nice change.
A change of a different kind: one model even confessed that she wasn't all that keen on sex. Her honesty is to be admired but doesn't exactly get the juices flowing.
Bottom Line:
I would say this is a softcore site for the artistically inclined, because all of that "softness" and out of focus material MUST have been shot that way intentionally (see the site's Forum for the exquisite equipment used by the photographer) and would appeal to a special, more refined taste than mine.
I really hate to say this (thinking of my good friend's review below) but I got more good material out of the sites I like to complain about than out of this one, and wish once again that I could give away a membership that others who like experimental photography might enjoy more than I do.
Added on the second last day of my subscription to this site (Feb. 20):
If you like crisp, clear, well-lit pictures with natural flesh colors do not waste your money on this site because you won't find them here.
The models are pretty but could look a lot prettier in someone else's hands. Subjective, I know, that's why I am really looking forward to some future review(s) to see how far off I was in my assessment.

Pros:
+Attractive models. Many are “names” from the Euro porn side of things.
+All exclusive pics and videos (109 vids and 90 photo galleries)
+Vids play in Flash or download in 3 sizes: wmv 1280x720 or 640x360; or iPod. Nice quality!
+Model personalities come out in vids, sometimes a lot, sometimes just a bit. They speak in their broken and accented English, and come on to you. It’s sexy!
+Downloads quickly climb to approx. 730Kbps
+Navigation from models list page is easy
+Login maintained after closing browser and rebooting. Convenient!
+Visitor’s section gives you a good taste. Try the video samples!
+Good monthly price of $19.95, which might not last past Sept.
Cons:
-Only 37 models
-Some photoshoot content is non-nude or semi-nude
-19 of the zip download buttons (no galleries to view) only download zips from other galleries. Why lead the user to think that a video has a unique photo zip when it doesn’t? Flaky!
-Pics are only 1622x1080 as portrait, 1080x723 as landscape, but sometimes they’re the opposite. A given pic might be one size in the gallery, but the other in the zip. It’s completely unpredictable. And annoying!
-Galleries open in small scrollable window instead of a whole page. But you can use the “move” button to drag window to top left of screen and then resize -- each time.
-Gallery thumbs are all 125x125, so you can’t tell if a pic is portrait or landscape without opening it, nor how much more there is to see vs. the thumb (not WYSIWYG)
-Gallery names sometimes don’t match zip names. Confusing!
-Photoshoots don’t always match content of videos
-Generally, there’s not enough light in both pics and vids indoors
Bottom Line:
For me, Eroberlin has been long awaited. It was supposed to come out in the spring, but apparently there were considerable delays.
It kind of reminds me of FTV Girls. There’s non-nude or semi-nude content, sometimes a bit of lez content, and sometimes toys in the pics (often in the vids). There’s a fair amount of “public” shooting. They like to end one shoot and start another in the same gallery. And the regular photo sizes are about the same, too.
I’d say this site does better with the videos than the pics in quality and available dimensions. The vids have no quick-cut editing or effects or annoying techno music. The only sound is straight from the shoot (sometimes with a bit of someone off camera, but not much). You get a sense of being with the girl for anywhere from 8 to 30 minutes.
The only problem is that sometimes you have to contend with noise from unexpected sources. A helicopter. A noisy, and very persistent, fly. Things like that.
But pics are important, too, and on this count the site is pretty muddled up. Why not have at least 3000 pixels in size on the long end in both orientations and stop this mixing of different sizes all willy-nilly?
People might not like downloading a zip expecting a pic to be 1622, as it was in the gallery, and then finding out that it’s 1080 in the zip. I know I don’t.
So 3000 px dimensions all around would really help the site. And the score, which I've nonetheless bumped up from 78 to 83 after getting feedback from the webmaster.
It really is a damn nice softcore video site, so to be fair I've notched it up on that basis.

Pros:
* Very good photographers and cinematographers, especially by porn standards
* More creativity than is evident in most porn
* Girls are uniformly GORGEOUS (and there's a little something here and there for the ladies and bi boys too)
* Unlike the "mothership" (Met-Art), does all of this without sacrificing eroticism. Hot, hot, hot! See Bottom Line for some of the reasons.
* Easy and intuitive to navigate
* Some feedback features
* Some people will consider some of my "cons" to be pros.
You also get linked to a ton of really hot camgirls, but have to pay separately to do much more than browse them, so that's really a separate thing from SexArt itself.
Cons:
* Not that much content yet (but the site is quite new, give it time!).
* Very little boy-girl hardcore so far (even proportionately)
* "Original series" material may be of limited interest
* Movie content available so far (excluding Girls Love Sex) is almost entirely focused on just three models.
* Some odd inconsistencies in navigation - each section is intuitive in itself, but they don't all work the same way.
* Can't tag movies (can on other kinds of content, and even photographers).
Some clarifications:
By "not that much" I still mean upwards of 80 movies and photo sets (though over 1/3 are the filler-ish "Girls Love Sex" series), so it'll still keep you going for a bit.
As of April 19 update, 21 of 25 non-GLS videos feature at least one of Malena Morgan, Elle Alexandra, or Riley Marks.
NB - The site is still in a "soft launch" phase and much of the information in this review, especially the "Cons" section, could change at almost any time
Bottom Line:
In describing my ideal porn site, I've often used the exact words "Met-Art with hardcore". In recent years, a few sites that attempt to approximate this have appeared; X-Art, JoyMii, PassionHD are the first to jump to mind, and others such as Sapphic Erotica have their moments. Now the real thing is here. How does it compare?
I am pleased to say EXTREMELY well. While I've only given a score in the 80s, this is largely because the site is so new and its current content limited accordingly, and I would not be at all surprised to revisit and raise that grade within a few months. More content won't be long in coming - they already update daily (one new film or photo set 7 days a week at midnight PST), and according to an e-mail from a tech at the site, they hope to ramp up to four a day over time.
Generally speaking, the photo sets lean toward solo masturbation and the videos toward girl-girl action (excluding the "original series" which I'll discuss separately in a moment). Both are, on the whole, even stronger than those on sites like X-Art, with a great deal of attention being paid to sets, lighting, creative camera angles, and so on - but not at the expense of SMOKING HOT action. A photo set of truly beautiful and under-appreciated Czech porn star Dido Angel sharing some tender moments with a glass dildo has instantly become my favorite solo porn set of all time; you really notice little details in (for example) the way she uses her mouth that go completely unnoticed and unappreciated in, say, her (nevertheless also highly recommended!) work for Pierre Woodman. I think the photo sets are meant to be viewed using the site's built-in slideshow feature and I urge users to try this, on the stronger sets such as the two (so far) featuring Dido it's an INTENSE experience.
The movies have lots of little touches that set them apart from those on other sites. Some get very artsy and creative, with perhaps my favorite so far being "Sexart", the film named after the site; Elle Alexander dildos herself to an orgasm so intense she nearly passes out - as I interpret it she *does*, and the rest is a dream sequence - after which one of her paintings (Malena Morgan in much body paint) comes to life and tries the toy out for herself. Very creative AND very raunchy. Even the ones, like "American Girls", that just give you straightforward action have some touches you won't find elsewhere - Malena actually CALLS OUT RILEY MARKS' NAME as she's being pleasured. Where is this extremely erotic element of real-life sex to be found elsewhere in the porn world? Nowhere I've heard of, other than SexArt.
The movies don't drone on like those of some other sites - despite more attention to scene-setting than most porn, they basically make their point and then STFU. Even more than those of X-Art, they are great examples of how much hotness can be packed into (typically) about 8 minutes.
By comparison, the "original series" are mildly disappointing. There are two, both from the creator of such mainstream erotic films as 9 1/2 Weeks.
"Kamikaze Love" seems to be a feature film being released in 8 minute segments (three so far), and tells the tale of a tragic, doomed romance. I was disappointed that it's softcore, and even if it wasn't its darkness and (psychological) BDSM overtones are a long way from what "Met with hardcore" means to me. Fans of wet and messy food-sex may like the third episode, though (personally it did nothing for me).
"Girls Love Sex" consists of interviews with various female models about their sexual tastes and histories, along with typically a solo masturbation segment. It can get pretty hot - one curveball I liked was the second of Charlotte Stokely's back-to-back episodes (most girls only get one), which is basically a jerk-off encouragement video for WOMEN - but can get a bit samey after a while, even if it's at least samey in a different way than mainstream porn is.
My biggest criticism apart from content being sparse is that the ratio of boy-girl material is very low so far - currently two photo sets of the same couple, and one video of a different one, plus the softcore/"hard R" material in Kamikaze Love. Both photo sets are very pretty and romantic; one features a blowjob that should leave you weak at the knees (another good one for the slideshow), the other features the GUY - a rather pretty individual named Tobias who women and bi men should appreciate - working the girl with his hands, and just barely qualifies as hardcore. Both are very good but I wish there were a lot more, and a wider variety. The video again manages to be romantic without being boring when viewed as porn, and again just makes me wish there were more of them.
This site is off to a great start. While I could see waiting a while for more content, signing up now will encourage them to develop the site to a point where that content exists for us all to appreciate. It's not like any other site out there, and mostly in a good way

Pros:
The videos are available in several formats at good resolutions - no fuzzy edges or blurring. The performers are generally good-looking. Download speeds are generally good.
Cons:
On several occasions the site was unavailable or key features of sign-in or download did not work. There was no response from site management to my repeated concerns.
The camerawork can obtrusive and offputting, and emphasizes the feeling that it is all staged.
Last - and maybe a matter of personal taste - very much a French site. I can't get excited about a guy named Titof, or a video named Youplaboum... and in these minimalist times, I prefer girls with visibly pussies, not Afro-style growths between their legs.
Bottom Line:
If you like girls with funny names, overgrown pussies, and oversized cameras, go for it. I decided not to renew my subscription because the site owners were not concerned about performance issues.

Pros:
+ Best site in class of glamore
+ High quality photography
+ Pictures in different sizes and zip packs for download
+ Very pretty models
+ Lots of Daily Updates
+ 3 image sizes for download – small, mediem, large
+ good wed design
Cons:
- Videos are boring
- No hardcore or even no spreading
- No response on emails
- Girl-girl photo and video has no sex touching
- Inconsistent shoot quality, photographers not equal
- No information about model
- Small browse pictures should start with lo-res first
Bottom Line:
This is one of few sites I keep constant membership. It is best site on internet for glamore. Photos much better over videos. Videos of dancing and strip tease always to soft and get boring. Site has slowly shown more vagina but still no spreading and always leaves me wanting to see more explicit of model.
I email site with question and do not get emails back. Site used to have to many European girls only but now has more American girls to, that is good. I have joined other glamour sites that try to copy met-art but none beet this site.
Some photographers at Met-art make very good sets and some are not so good sets with blurry and graney pictures. They have good photographers and some bad photographers. They have very nice very large pictures, but sometimes larger pictures show quality weekness of some photographers. Also some photographers sets have no variation that model only stand hole set or model only sit hole set which is not good. I want to see odder poses. Please understand my bad English.
They should do glamore with more open vagina. Hair on vagina is nice but not hair by vagina lips and sometime model never show vagina. To girl sets should have girls touch more and kiss and spread more like real life girls do. It can still be glamore and sexy. Model pages do not give information about model that makes them seem distant and cannot touch.
Best glamore site but not perfect.

Cons:
Expensive at $34.95
Download managers not allowed
Download restriction e.g. attempting to download more than 2 zips at once is likely to get you blocked.
Download limit of 300 zips in any 24 hour period
Limited model info, model card only lists country and eye colour. It would be nice to have a little extra info like age and measurements.
Limited search and sort options for such a large photo collection.
Photo set cover not included in the zip as they do at MET.
As to be expected with any site that has been around a number of years you will find the older content to have a lower maximum resolution and fewer download options. Earliest photos often max at 1024 or 1200px and oldest videos only 320x240.
Bottom Line:
MPL Studios is another one of those arty nude sites featuring a fine collection of 210 stunning young models over 90% of who originate from Russia and Ukraine. Although the ages are generally not given I would say the majority of them look 18 to early 20s so its really a site for fans of the skinny small to medium breasted Russian teen look. The photo collection is the main emphasis here with the photo sets outnumbering the videos by almost 10 to 1. Some of the most popular models here such as Alisa, Anya and Maria have an incredible amount of content with well over a hundred photo sets each.
The site’s navigation allows you to browse the collection by updates (year and month listing), a separate page for the videos or via the model directory. I have to admit I found the layout of the model directory a little odd. The models are spread over 18 pages and it seems to be in no particular order. There’s no option to sort the directory either alphabetically, by date added or by rating so if like me you like so go through the models alphabetically then the easiest way to browse the site is to select the model you want from the drop down menu in the search engine and from that models page you can browse through to the next model’s page in alphabetical order. There’s also a basic search function allowing you to search the models by country, hair colour, eye colour and breast type but quite honestly I found all the models beautiful here and just wanted to go through the collection and download the photo sets of every one of them. Those who are more selective might bemoan the lack of a more advanced search option allowing you to search the photos by type such as indoor/outdoor location, clothing/plain nude or even the ability to search content by a certain photographer.
The photography here is of a high standard and the photos always look sharp even at the highest 3000px resolution with good colour and excellent lighting and often feature the models in stunning outdoor locations. There’s a variety of shoots ranging from plain nude shoots to partially clothed and also some public flashing in city locations such as St. Petersberg which I really enjoyed.
The videos here are certainly more interesting and erotic than the usual “girl standing around being photographed” type of videos you get on these nude art sites. You’ll find some intimate masturbation scenes and some passionate two girl scenes in amongst the collection. The videos are generally around 5 to 6 minutes long and usually feature some soft background music but you can still generally hear the models moans and groans over the music.
The only other thing worth mentioning is that you also get access to free public live cam shows and if you like one of MPL’s most popular models Liliya there’s a link to join her solo site with a $10 discount.
The only problem I encountered with the site was managing to get myself locked out by day two of my membership despite reading and paying attention to their download restrictions of only 2 zips at a time so I had to email the site like a naughty school boy to find out what I’d done wrong and request to be reinstated. Apparently I had breached their download limit of 300 zips in 24 hours which I knew nothing about because at the time it was not included in their terms of use which I pointed out to the webmaster. Anyway the reply was prompt and courteous and they even added 2 days to my membership for the inconvenience and when I checked back at the terms of use a couple of days ago I noticed they’ve now updated it to include the download limit so at least they are being upfront with potential customers now.
Overall an excellent site for lovers of softcore nude photography which I thoroughly enjoyed and was tempted to score in the 90s but the higher than average price and annoying download limits and restrictions just took the edge off it slightly so I’ll settle for an 88.

Pros:
- Good selection of Europe's best models doing some pretty extreme insertions.
- Very high quality videos, even the pictures have a glossy look to them (may be my eyes playing tricks on me)
- Good amount of content, upwards of 140-150 models, vids are long and the HD ones are huge in file size.
Cons:
- Some of the insertions are more than I like to see.
- A little high for any consideration of more than one month membership at a time.
Bottom Line:
Let me start off by saying that I am lactose intolerant, meaning I get deathly sick if I digest something with a dairy product in it. What does that have to do with this review? Some of the shoots have the women squirting milk out of the butts, you also get the extreme sized dildos being shoved in some of the prettiest women you will ever see, Sophie and Eve are both on here as are 130 more.
My problem comes in that while I like to see these beautiful women enjoying themselves for us to watch, I don't like seeing them look like they are tearing their guts out. I understand it is an original idea and believe me, I still watch! I'm just giving a heads up for those who haven't been on the site. Overall, it is great, tons of teasing to start the videos which are almost all over 30 minutes each. I think the teasing is very important, especially when you know they are going to finally take it off. It builds you up. Videographer is one lucky man/woman on this site. Extreme close-ups, has some speculum vids and pics for you all that have the medical fetish. I really could do without the milk squirting videos, but it is usually only the last minute or so of the video and isn't the main focus.
I very much recommend it, especially if you have never been a member. I think this site shows Peaches in a way that you have probably never seen her. She really gets into her vids on here and is worth the monthly price just by herself. Add those other 140 or so models, recommended!

Pros:
+ An extremely generous amount of models.
+ Not sure – but it seems like entirely exclusive material (see below)
+ Generally hot looking models, most of European origin.
+ Mostly a site concentrating in sets – so vids fans – your're warned.
+ It's like thay say: ”tons of galleries”
+ Zip – in 2 sizes – for sets
+ Mostly fine viewing quality for pix
Cons:
- Close to miserable quality in the major amount of vids content – unbelievable for an almost major site in 2011
- Outdated style, design and navigation
- Regional pricing
- Three formats for vids – but none of them gives you any viewing pleasure
- Even some newer vids are a joke in viewing quality
- Too much lez content for my taste
- Even without regional pricing $19.95 it's too expensive for what you get – in vids anyway
- No way of knowing about updates – no date on those
Bottom Line:
Oh, yes: bottom line: My personal feeling here is clear – I wasted my money – and that including the fact, that this site deals in regional pricing. But that's only a total secondary issue.
Teenrotica is downright outdated – in style, in navigation, design – and it's almost a scandal (harsh words, I know) that a site that cost $ 19.95 – and for Europeans about $ 29 – has such miserable material in videos.
Despite the preview has a so called UPDATE – that is missing at the members area – Instead you can turn to VIDEOS or GALLERIES for the latest and the first inputs. (or Models without dates)
When browsing for videos you get the new ones first – and being a member years back, I thought: Okay, this site started up in 2006 and videos then were generally not good.
But the new ones in 2011 are in a quality I'd would be ashamed of, if I was behind the site.
The size is all in so called 3:4 – and the viewing quality is simply low down.
Most vids are around 100 Mb in AVI format – and much less in both WMV og MOV. Three formats – save it and get better quality instead.
It's a shame. Because Teenrotica has so many fine models – and I seriously believe it's exclusive.
We all got favorite models – and the material I found of these models (both in pix and vids) I have not seen elsewhere.
This is mostly a site with solo and lez material – both vids and sets. A few hc/bg inputs – and most of these are only bj.
And for a couple of those bj vids – it's lousy editing. No foreplay, no posing – but starts with close ups of bj.....it seems like unfinished bussiness.
Then to the little more positive deals here:
The pix/sets are generally in ok/fine viewing quality. You get a choice of 2 zip download sizes (high and low) – guess no one will go for the low. And you got a pretty good thumbnail preview for all sets.
And you can use the thumbnails to view directly in Small, Large og XL. Do not really see the point, but some may like it.
If I was a pix fan foremost, this site could get a little better score, in my view. But the design, style, navigation AND first of all: those low/very low quality vids – I cannot recommend Teenrotica.
The 65 from this user is entirely due to the sets/models (See PU rating: 60-69 - Does more things wrong than right)

Updated:
05-23-1101:30am (Update History) Reason: Added another point for dropping the frame-based navigation, which was a bit awkward and glitchy. Revised navigation is much easier!
Pros:
- Great clothing and strips
- Wonderful lingerie
- Beautiful models with personality - good mix of shapes and types
- Good lighting and sets
- Outdoor shoots are fun and voyeuristic
- Great quality - most videos 1080, most pics up to 4000px
- Interview videos are fun and sexy
- Daily updates
- Consistent quality as the work of just one photographer
- Much sexier than most art-nude material
- Helpful and responsive webmaster/photographer
Cons:
- Navigation enhanced since I reviewed! Now more than enough options for the size of the site
- Would be nice if zips were named uniquely
- I'd be happy to see more late 20s models
- Would like more girls with at least strips/triangles of pubic hair (but there are some!)
- Studio/nude only shots are a little bland to me
- Some interviews in French are missing english subtitles (some have them)
- Update schedule is centred around specific models
Bottom Line:
I've been a collector of erotic photo books for a few years now; I like the tactileness of flicking through them, and there is some good material around that's more evocative than most porn (although porn does have it's own attractions, as I'm discovering online :) ). Such books come in two basic varieties:
- Those depicting the curves of the female form; or naked, shaved (and photoshopped) young girls cavorting on beaches
- Those that are actually arousing
From what I've seen of the well-known art photo sites - Hegre Art, Met Art etc - they fall more into the first camp and so, although featuring very beautiful girls and excellent photography, don't really work for me. This site - at least for me - is different and quite erotic, thanks to a number of things:
- Models - mostly natural girls, 19-28, most in early and mid 20s. Sophisticated French girls, glamorous eastern European models, and quirky girls with eg, tattoos, piercings, mops of curly or dyed hair. The photographer makes the most of them all; I've found sets to interest me for every model I've looked at so far.
- Clothing - the girls look great, comfortable and relaxed in what they are wearing (even if only briefly). And the lingerie... it's expensive, smart, sexy and different... in most cases the kind that girls themselves like and would buy, nothing gaudy or tacky.
- Lighting - the scenes are all well lit - but not harshly so; it looks natural, and the colours aren't oversaturated as we so often see.
- Premise - the shots are centred around various themes, eg: waking up, showering, trying on lingerie, getting dressed - a bit voyeuristic and quite sexy (somehow dressing more so than undressing). The settings are either modern, smart hotel rooms, actual apartments (more voyeurism!), and quite a few outdoor scenes - some quite risqué stuff in Paris.
About 50 or so models, each with, approx 8 photo sets (80 each?) and 6 videos of 5-10 minutes. The videos are worth mentioning - similar in tone to the shoots, and some fun truth-or-strip interviews; for once I don't mind a guy doing the interviewing, maybe his French accent gets the best out of the girls.
It's not all perfect; each model has a couple of fully nude and/or studio shoots - for me these fall into the arty category and don't work as well without the atmosphere of clothing/premise/location. These are spiced up a little, though, with some shibari (Japanese-style rope bondage) and liquid latex (!)
Content is quite soft, maybe too soft for some folk; you will see:
- Pussy close-ups, stroking with fingers, hands slipped into panties and tugged aside
You will not see much (although a little) of:
- Fingers/toys inserted, spread open shots
Also, some minor cons as above; and I find a few glitches - eg thumbnails linking to the wrong sets - but they've been corrected as I've mentioned them on the forum.
But these are minor gripes and not really important. Overall, a really great site that sets the bar for me.

Useful browse and sort options
Cons:
Regional pricing increased the price to around $17 for me from the UK.
Some minor navigational irritations
A few site errors e.g. missing zips or links that go to the wrong place
Videos are only available in Quicktime mov. format
When trying to stream the videos I had a 2-3 minute delay before it would start playing
Some photo sets and videos look like they are just a continuation of the previous one rather than a separate shoot.
File sizes not displayed for videos and zips
Site would have little interest to those looking for hardcore content
Bottom Line:
Petite Parisiennes is a collection of 59 stunning models, mostly French with a few Eastern Europeans and Black/Asian thrown into the mix. The majority of the models are in the 18 to mid 20s age range with natural body types.
The theme here is “a day in the life of a sexy French girl” and I do think they carry it off quite well. The photo sets generally start off with a wake up scene where the girl is in bed and waking up to start the day, that might often be followed with a shower or bath set before watching her try on various sets of lingerie or getting fully dressed before heading off out into Paris for some fun outdoor shoots. Although a lot of the outdoor shoots don’t contain much nudity I thought it was fun to follow the models on the Metro, or in a restaurant and around some of the famous tourist sites in Paris like the Eiffel Tower, Louvre or even the Disneyland Park just flashing their panties or slipping out their boobs and sometimes pulling their panties aside for a sneaky peek at their pussy. Whilst I loved those outdoor shoots the minor downside for me was that I did find some of the plain nude indoor shoots a little dull at times.
As with most softcore sites I found the videos quite boring but maybe that’s just me. You’ll often have an interview with the model, in French with subtitles, many videos are just recordings of the photo shoot (yawn) as well as some with the model just dancing around and stripping to music and a few masturbation, sex toy and 2 girl videos. Their search category of “erotic girl/girl or sex toy” produces just 33 results out of 300 videos so as you can see the more explicit content is in the minority here.
They also provide you with plenty of search and browse tools to help you find anything specific that you might be looking for although I did come across some minor navigational irritations here. If you are just browsing the site in default mode anytime you click on a model or photo set and then hit the back button to go back to the previous page you are always taken back to the top of the page so you have to scroll back down to where you were again. If you use any of the search or sort options and want to return to your page of search results after clicking on a model or photo set you always get “webpage has expired” so need to refresh and resend the search option every time.
Overall I enjoyed the site and thought it was good value for money at the current reduced price. If I’d paid $30 maybe I would have felt a little less enthusiastic about it. The outdoor sets were definitely my favourites so maybe I’m developing a new fetish for public flashing thanks to these sexy French girls.

Pros:
Some nice content. *some*
Cons:
Extremely poor, clunky site design
Very hard to get around
The home page focuses on what you dont have, rather than what you do.
Some videos that should be on your membership, are not and you are forced to buy them to watch, despite it being listed under your site.
Videos are slow to load
Site advertised falsely, on the actual site its self.
Bottom Line:
Very poor site, customer service is either a bot or someone who does not speak or understand english. Dont waste your money, absolutely dreadful site. Its a scam.
Was a member approx. 5 months prior to this review.
Pros:
- 100% original content
- Beautiful models
- High standards in their photography
- Good reputation, has stood the test of time
- Solid value, especially with specials
Cons:
- All this great photography ... so what happened with the videos?
- A stong lay out but still has navigation issues and it can be improved on.
- Sometimes, sets seem to disappear in the archives
Bottom Line:
If you love beautiful, nubile models then you have to join Met Art at least one time. There is no hardcore here, nor insertions, but they keep you occupied with a stable of top notch models. This site is for those who appreciate art photography, so it is not always, how should I say ... revealing as some might want.
They update on an acceptable basis and seemingly seek some of the best models out there. Met Art was the first in art-like model photography and they are still at the top but other sites are catching up, namely FEMJOY and MPL Studios. In fact, these three are not that far apart.
I'm sure the folks at Met-Art think others copied their style and don't like it. They did. They should take it as a compliment in that they are doing something right. Still the aforementioned sites are neck and neck with the old girl these days
Several of the models have now done hardcore porn but most on the site have not. Met Art continues to get the best models but the competition has closed and that is good for the consumer in that it keeps all parties pumping out good content and contracting models that are top notch.
There is a plethora of different resolutions are available for Met Arts picture sets and they take you to where you can see those lovely golden hairs on the models, giving one the impression they are right there! They have the best overall photos around!
I am not a fan of their videos. They're not bad but they seem a tad too soft in that picture sets are more revealing. You might say, they are li ... lame and need rethinking. They could use some new blood behind those cameras, IMO. On the other hand, they are far from trash, just not what you would expect after seeing their incredible photos.
They've added a live chat area that is well set up if that's your cup of tea but extra charges will apply. As most of you know, some of the talent in chat areas can be in a word scary and by average standards Met Art is on the upper side of the equation but none I have seen are great.
I remember the first time discovering the site and downloaded a lot of sets that have stood the test of time.
Download speeds are fine with a good connection and there is a lot of content to keep you occupied with new discoveries of the flavor of the month.
A classy site, that is a main stay if you like young, tight, natural models.
This is a site that perfectly compliments a harder site and it is especially for those who do not like just any old porn but beauty.
Was a member approx. 2 months prior to this review.
Pros:
Fast Downloads
HD Videos Over 1000 not all HD
Over 1 Million photos.
Over 2500 Models
Been in the business 12 years
No Drm
Over 100 Updates a month.
Cons:
Repetitive Content
Lots to navigate through
Over picture& video quality is ok.
$19.99 Membership
Recurring every 30 days at $19.99
$39.99 for 30 days To big of a difference as you can not download the site in a month.
Bottom Line:
This is the top of the line best SoftCore nude site on the planet.
There are varies formats, pic Divx its the best picture format for their production work.
The site is huge with over " ONE MILLION " photos and over 2500 models. There are about 100 updates per months and it one huge site.
I do not want duplicate others reviews on PU and most details are recently covered, so a twist on review here.
The site is very high quality site, the models are gorgeous, I could hardly find one that was not drop dead model material.
Compared with 99% of the websites we review this one has to be the classiest site of all.
They have worked 12 years and respectfully stayed successful in soft-core porn.
Why other sites are reaching to find a new level. Met Art takes things to a new level in quality nude women.
The look and feel of the site is like going to a high class show in Vegas. The site feel like they are kings of the Softcore and have numerous photographers that get the shots right.
There are gratuitous scenes in the collection, but nothing that would be known as Hardcore.
That said, I am sure many will love the curves and erotic nature in how hey present.
This is not playboy tame, nor hustler slutty, it fits nicely enough to a niche in its own class.
Bottom line:
Price is tad high as you will have to stay a member awhile if you plan on full site collections. They take CCbill and Epoch so thats helpful. I like the navigation as its not that hard to find stuff even though the site is huge.
They appears to be free stuff but never had time to look at it. Site may have similar scenes and format. But hard to avoid in 12 years in business, so why it is in my cons, it is expected.
Toads Take.
Its worth a peak, even for a month. If you have not seen a softcore site or avoided them because you thought you would fall asleep with lube in your hand. Rest assure this site will excite and is erotic enough to peak the interest.
I never finished the site before my subscription ran out. But I have a nice collection
A site that is up 12 years will never get the review it deserves. I tried to give some details that may do that justice if at all possible.

Pros:
Beautiful British Girls who like to address you personally in dirty language .. a nice, naughty touch.
Many of the sets and videos contain models in erotic lingerie, very much a plus for me.
Softcore only with the occasional Lesbian scene mixed in.
Pictures and Videos are available for download. Picture sets are available zipped.
Regular updates, with the photo sets having the advantage.
Cons:
This site has not kept up with the times. The very latest picture sets are quite nice at 2000x3000px, but the best videos are still regrettably at 720x540 wmv with a total bitrate anywhere between 1700 and 3000, and one does not have to go back very far to run into picture sets that display at only 2000px or even 1024px.
In 2007 I praised this site for the latter, now it's hopelessly outdated.
Search engine that is praiseworthy for giving one so many choices in one's search is actually quite inaccurate. Just one example, I searched for one of my niches "hairy" and got mostly "shaved" models as a result.
Normal downloads through the browser are extremely slow for me. However I got respectable speeds when downloading videos through DTA.
Cluttered home page.
Bottom Line:
You have no idea how much I want to like this site. After all, who could resist British models talking dirty while getting rid of their clothes, or a set of pictures that really takes its time when it comes to stripping down to the bare essentials (well, not always bare), but two things aggravate me, a) that they have not kept up with the times when it comes to videos and b) their horribly outdated 5 bonus sites.
What makes things worse is that only one bonus site "Suburban Sluts" allows downloads while all the others contain either streaming only videos, or they are picture sites without the zip option forcing one to download each picture laboriously one by one. But even the "Suburban Sluts" videos and pictures are so outdated that no one would want to download them anyway. Their last update must have been years ago. So, forget it when it comes to bonus sites.*
*Just noticed that the two picture bonus sites update to this day. However, no zip, so useless to most unless they have the proper "tools!"
Same as last time I won`t judge this site for its bonus content but am disappointed that they have not discovered HD yet.
I will nevertheless recommend it because there are enough videos and photo sets of erotic value to be enjoyed, even though the clarity in full picture, on my monitor, is not exactly mind blowing.
And I do like girls talking dirty, especially when they wear nice lingerie! I`ll just have to get used to watch them in a smaller window where the picture is quite crisp.
Since the updates are so slow in coming I would recommend a one month subscription only.

Pros:
Very attractive models
Lots of variety
Good if you like young/european models
Decent picture resolution
Very large collection
Cons:
Very limited video, need to join an additional site to download full video
No zips
Extraordinarily poor organization, picture names are terrible and not in order, hard to keep track
Server seems relatively slow
Expensive
Bottom Line:
Probably not worth it unless you have a lot of spare time to search through all of the photosets and save (and probably rename) all of the pictures you like.
Great selection and very beautiful women, but hard to recommend given the limited video content and expense.
Current Member for less than 1 month (at the time of review).
Pros:
+Huge collection, from April 7, 2005, of EXCLUSIVE pics and videos of Hungarian supercutie Eve Angel and friends; some of the friends are hot, too
+All galleries available in zips at 2048px or 980px
+Videos are good quality at 640x480, 1.5Mbit, WMV or QT; 384 or 768Kbit WMV or QT also available. No DRM.
+Calendar organization helps a lot with navigation
+TBP discount is a sweet deal for the first-time subscriber
+Good previews of models and content volume for the visitor
Cons:
-Lags behind in updates; “daily” certainly does not mean “on time, every day”
-Individual pics download as 2048px bmp’s only
-View a gallery, then must click one way or another to return to zip download page (esp. tiring for a first timer, esp. with large galleries)
-Some of Eve’s friends are “funny valentines”
-Section of collected galleries and vids of Eve is a confusing, disorganized mess
-On login, annoying upsell page for meeting people in my locale; click to continue to Eve’s site
Bottom Line:
Actually, it was discovering that Mia Stone had made several appearances here that got me speed typing the signup form back in 11/05. Several other wonderful Eurobabes have guested here as well, though the ranks have been thinning to where it’s only Eve this month. Up to Sept. 19th, anyway. It stops there. My subscription ends today.
Would you be happy with that?
I’m not, of course, but I still recommend this site for its substantial existing content. I would have rated even higher if, in addition to corrections of the con’s, there was less darkness in some of the pic sets, less prolonged toy sucking and shoving (not my thing), and removal of those small enlargements in the calendars. (They stick to your cursor and are very, very distracting and annoying!) But it has improved since ‘05: the added smaller sized zips, fully controllable videos (not just play & stop), and the TBP discount (a very nice price).
As individual model sites go, Eve’s is either tops or close to it. There hasn’t been any recycling of content, as is the case with Mya Diamond’s site, and there are far more updates per month than at Lara Craft’s. And Eve herself is a divine beauty and seems to be a beautiful person, too.
BTW, if you’re looking for b/g hardcore, there’s only a very small handful of it here, in 2005. Eve herself goes only so far as to tease a guy with her dominatrix boots and getup. (She’d quit real hardcore by then.) There is a fair amount of lez stuff, though.

Pros:
- Mya's different look is one that I like and her body is incredible.
- It's a General Entertainment site, high quality and great customer service.
- The videos are well above average quality and the pics are as well.
- Daily updates of either pic set or new vids
- Mya's friends are worth the price alone!
Cons:
- As with the other General Entertainment sites, there will be a few days here and there where the site won't open. Customer Service will let you know though if you email them that they are aware of the problem and fixing it.
Bottom Line:
Though Mya's site will never be higher than Eve's site, both are on Gen Entertainment, I do enjoy Mya's site very much. She has better friends and more of them on her site than Eve has on hers. There also is a little more in the way of hardcore and b/g scenes, though still not a lot. I love the TBP discount of $14.99 just like Eve's site has, both sites have a pretty impressive amount of content. I would guess upwards of 100 GB on each, plus daily updates.
The most talked about part of Mya's site, is Mya herself. She really isn't the type I usually go for. I like the "classic" look with women, examples, Eve Angel, Aria Giovanni and one that is a frequent friend on Mya's site Christina Bella. Mya is one of those models that has one big thing going for her, she is very different looking than most models. Though, her body is as good of a body as you will see. Check out model Cindy Hope on there, wow!
The way I look at it, you can get Mya and Eve's site for the same price as most big sites, and I don't many of those $29.95 sites that can bring you the amount of pictures, videos and high quality that these do. Mya doesn't have quite the personality that Eve has, Eve also seems to be more active on her site than Mya is, though Mya has started a blog recently on hers.
I can recommend Mya's site easily and all but tell you won't be disappointed since she has enough friends' videos and pics to satisfy all your needs and wants. Excellent site!
Follow-Up:
After much thought, I decided to lower the score 3 points, it is still a top site, but I don't know if it can come close to it's sister site Eve Angel, in the solo category. Reports of recycled sets and removal of part of the archive, lowers it just a little, but it is still recommended.

Pros:
+ British nudes, Euro ditto, Easteuro nudes and some US...yes, nudes - a fine mix.
+ Full body, full nude (mostly) posing/strip.
+ Some rare models (elsewhere)
+ The POSING, the STRIP is the deal.
+ SOME masturbation - (VERY few HC/BG scenes).
+ Now downloadable vids.
+ A lot of sexy girls - teens and a little/somewhat older.
+ Soft, but still erotic nude vids - some only semi nude, but still sexy.
+ Still streaming, if you like that.
+ Easy navigation (at last) - search for models
+ Zip for the - not many - sets (It's a video site).
+ Generally 3-5 vids for each model
+ DM allowed
+ NO MORE regional pricing
Cons:
- Downloadble videos only in .mov files.
- Still too many NEW vids only in semi-nude
- Low on pix sets
- Vids a bit too short (average 5 minutes - some less some more)
- Quality of vids are JUST OK (fullscreen) - could be a better compared to todays standard.
- Lousy preview - from before they upgraded the site.
- A little name confusion: Sometimes the same girl appears under two different names.
Bottom Line:
Did a first review of this site late 2009 - and a LOT has improved - first of all the now download of videos.
Still it's a bit strange to realize that this site is part of the ONLY TEASE company - compared to the video and pix sets quality of the main sites here - this Babespotting.tv is way behind.
But even so: the content of full nude models doing very fine and sexy vids is the main deal here. Along with the fact that you get some great posing in almost the vintage way by models not seen at most US or Easteuro sites - British models, of course - but some great vids of Czech ditto. And those - ok, quite a few - better know models are doing the posing/strip in a different way.
It's a ".tv-site" - so it's primarily vids - and you'll get almost 900 of them.
Now updates every day - either vids or pix sets.
And I really appreciate that most models have several vids in different outfits and style - though the "style" in general is somewhat the same - but, no problem here - one model doing strip and pose in different outfits is somewhat unique.
The vids are typical 200-350 Mb and with an average of 5 minutes - some more. The site now boast of downloads - about time. Gave it a 55 score in 2009 for no downloads - BUT: Only i mov - most other sites from that TEASE ONLY Co. has more alternatives.
Still the content/models here are generally great - and more nude than the other Tease-sites.
So if you dig POSING and some STRIP TEASE on the softer site - but still mostly full nude - this site is now to be recommended - JUST. With those cons in mind.
And a small bottom line: I found here some models/nude posing vids that I'd consider FAV and certainly to be kept in my stash...

Pros:
Pros
Large number of videos
Multiple sites included in a single membership (list below in comments)
Regular updates (on some of the included sites - others are stale)
Recent videos are HD
Search by
category ( I counted 136 categories to choose from )
included site
model
Cons:
Cons
Some of included sites have not updated for a couple years
Download choices are not clear about size of video - what do the following really mean:
Low Quality H.264
Medium Quality WMV
Medium Quality H.264
High Quality WMV
Ultra High Quality WMV
Ultra High Quality H.264
The older - no longer updated sites - have very low quality video
There are also “bonus” sites, which appear to be even older and not updated.
Was it just me, and my tastes in porn, or did I just get bored with this site (network of sites) very fast. The older guys in the Grandpas Fuck Teens, really were old turn offs for me. (of course if I ever had a video of my own - I am sure I would be even worse than any of them were - so who am I to complain)
I have long had an interest in pee fetish, and was very hopeful about the Zoliboy site. There are some interesting videos there, and I did like some of them very much, but there were also too many videos of old guys pissing on younger women, which just didn’t quite work out for me. 3 guys standing on a platform showering a girl below in pee, just isn’t what I wanted. But I do understand that pee videos are a small niche, and everyone has their own preferences. You might really like this.
It took me a while to figure out that when one selects to view a video, there are a number of short clips from each video presented, as well as the entire video as a single clip.
Net result of being a member for the past three weeks is that I realized that this site is just not what I wanted. I can’t exactly describe what it is about it that does not match my thoughts, but something which I had hoped for, something nebulous, just wasn’t there, so I have canceled my membership.
The fetishes were maybe a little to “strong” for me. The “use” of women, for example in the Teach me fisting site just wasn’t for me.
If you like this site great! I just felt uncomfortable with it. I have tried to be objective - in that the site does what it says - and if you like what this site offers, then it is well built and works fine - it just didn’t work for me.

Pros:
+ 100% exclusive content
+ nice looking European (French mostly) models
+ variety of actions (soft/hardcore, straight/lesbian, masturbation/peeing/fisting/etc)
+ high res pictures (up to 2000*3000 for newer content) and video (1280*720) with a range of formats (including iPod version)
+ Downloads in zips
+ no DRM
Cons:
- continuous condom use
- original French content (with only further translation to English)
- some scenes are too short to focus on them
- pricing for Europe (€30/month)
Bottom Line:
Explicite Art is a collection of nice looking French models (currently 362) in a variety of situations and actions: soft and hardcore; solo, straight and lesbian; masturbating, peeing, fisting and so on, both in pictures and video, with updates coming almost every day (they have explicitely excluded only Sundays). Immediate drawback is that the original language is also French, which only then translated to English (subtitles here are, probably, the best solution as they allow keeping intact the emotional component of sounds).
EA's attention to technical quality results in pictures up to 2000*3000 px, which is more than necessary for just full screen viewing, with smaller versions of each picture for sorting/previewing, and true HD video (1280*720). Pictures can be loaded in zips; video is in a range of formats (MP4, MOV, ...) with a special version for iPod.
With all the above $24.95/month is a quite reasonable expense. European customers have to pay more: €29.95/month recursively. It looks like the "special offer" does not work or has its very specific meaning to the east of Atlantic Ocean.
Overall impression: site really deserves attention.
Was a member approx. 3 months prior to this review.
Pros:
Some of the girls are beautiful, but see my Cons
Hi-Res Photos as high as 6000px. which is ridiculous but appreciated. they set the benchmark in this respect.
You can download as a zipped single file. largest one I downloaded was 180MB (remember these are jpg files)
Video is download to keep.
Exclusive content in terms of what the girls do but not the girls themselves.
You can browse most of the galleries so you know what you are getting. Calendar layout for navigation.
For veteran Porn Surfers, you'll all know this and Met-Art as the sites that launched Marketa and LUba.
Look for Evi, Yanna, Jula, Alya, Ira, Anna and Nika who are all awesome. Evi and Yanna win though. Evi and Oil, Yanna and Oil. On Boy.
Cons:
VIDEO IS REALLY POOR.
I've put the statement above separate because this is it's biggest issue. Which is why they only get 76 from me. This is my way of telling them off because they should know better by now.
I've never understood this. I think it is because they are so successful with the photos they've got this don't care attitude and I sense this as a website that is in its own comfort zone. Why try any harder. We have beautiful girls. Hi-Res Photos, a loyal membership.
Yes, they have beautiful girls but there are a lot of plain ones and you have to waste time looking for them.
Format/Theme is very repetitive. Blur your eyes and you'll struggle to distinguish one from another in terms of location/poses.
I got a sense there was this massive archive behind the front end but nothing really intuitive to help me find my way. Navigating through it wore me down.
Sort out the HD-DVD. And where's the audio...
This is the Stepford Wives of Porn syndrome. No emotions.
Bottom Line:
Massive Site. I think you need to join one of these types of site and I tossed a coin between this and Met-Art and Hegre-Art won. Somehow I feel like I called it wrong on the toss, no pun intended.
I think the strange thing about this site was while the girls I could be bothered to find and download are beautiful, you know to the point of being considered perfect, I've never gone back and looked or even opened the zip files. If I ask myself the question WHY, it's almost like my libido was eroded away by the sterile format of the shoots, and i think it is the 'Pirelli Calendar' Technical aspect that destroys the sense of this is a real person.
It is soft porn turned to Art Form, so if this is what you are after, consider you are in an Art Gallery and you'll be very happy.
If they gave you HD-DVD, encouraged the girls to look alive rather than being operated like machines, then I think they could inject that something that's missing...emotion, and without emotion, you as the member/user cannot connect with the girl. I certainly could not connect with the girl in the shoots.
It just seems to be too precise. quality is excellent but it's like coffee without the taste.

Pros:
#membership special is only $19.95 a month
#these women are shot as if they are royalty
#models personify godesses: Athena, Diana, Venus etc..are well represented by these models in the flesh- they models are beautiful, just made me gasp to look at them.
#pics come in 681 x 1024, 1024 x 681; 1362 x 1248, 1248 x 681; 2000 x 3008, 3008 x 2000; 2912 x 3468, 3468 X2912.
#live Met cams ( about 12 models a day); are everyday at these times:12 midnite, 5am, 8am, noon,3pm, 6pm, and 9pm; user can give feeback in realtime to met cam model.
# 2 hr webcam session per model.(in real time with model in Russia)
# movies come in DIVx;Quicktime;mpeg;wmv,ipod about every 4-5 days
#this is not just a nude site. Met art utilizes acessories very well: models wear necklaces and jewelry, earrings, shoes, belts, bracelets. You see hosiery, lingerie, ballerina outfits and more..
# offers private webcam chats for $2.50 a minute without admin.
Cons:
#there is not really a variety of themes in the vids; won't see dress up or masterbating, public nudity
#has trial memberships, be carefull when joining to select the month membership and not like $16.99 trial amount for three day trial for two sites membership and 19.99 for three day trial for three site membership unless you want to try the sites out for three days.
# specialty site; you will get your nudelover fix.Will have to go elsewhere for other genres.
#webcam for dial up connection can be choppy at times.
Bottom Line:
Met Art has very stunning and striking photosets. If I had to describe the models. They would be queens, royalty, princesses and goddesses personified and represented with these models. some of the models were so striking that they took my breath away- just great top of the line sets.
I joined this site a few days ago for the fourth time and was surprised to see the price of $19.99. I suppose this special is to help promote their other two sites Metmodels, and Errotica Archives which is offered for $19 if you join them seperatly (their banners are prominent right after joining). The idea I suppose is that they lowered the price to make it possible to have 2 memberships for just $40. I just checked. you can select two of the three for $49, or all three for $59.99.
I have the metcams on another webpage as I speak.-- just got a hello back from the model Neela, very nice. Works well even with dial up ( is what I have) and can be resized to full screen mode by pressing f11. You can tip the models and make an offer for a private webcam chat at $2.50 a minute.
I give this site a 96 because $19.99 is really a great deal to have access to their stunning models and webcam sessions that run 7 days a week. The interaction feature is nice..
I have no idea when the price will go back to what it was when I last joined which was $29.99 so I'd say that this is a real good time to jump on board and try out this site.

Pros:
+++ beautiful locations
+++ VARIETY of beautiful locations
+++ beautiful models
+++ professional photography
++ variety of outfits
++ free cam
+ daily updates
+ variety of video formats
+ convenient navigation
Cons:
-- too much difference between cover page and gallery contents (see explanation below)
-- mood of some models can be better
-- movies are just recording of photoshoots
- resolution selection is not preserved
- obsession with bandwidth for movies (6Mbit/sec WMV is too much for me)
- lack of search
Bottom Line:
I've decided to join Met-Arts mostly because of cover pages of their daily issues, and those are pieces of art, really. But what really surprised and quite disappointed me was that inside their galleries feel quite different from the cover page. Met-Art doesn't "cheat", and "cover" is from the same gallery, but overall feeling is still VERY different. Sure, everybody selects the very best shot for cover page, but IMHO Met-Arts kind of contrast between cover and gallery itself is unusual both for paper magazines and web sites. Fortunately, Met Art has archives and IMHO back in 2006 and earlier this difference WASN'T THAT BIG. In general, I liked old galleries MUCH better. It's both good and bad to know, as on one hand, it means I can find galleries I like more, on the other hand, means that quality of Met-Art galleries (from my subjective perspective) goes downhill :-(.
Another thing that bothered me (and which isn't present on "covers") is mood of the girls. Granted, they're REALLY beautiful, but it is quite clear from the pictures (and videos) that most of them are just doing pretty boring job; I don't mind what they really think, but when it becomes obvious on the picture, then IMHO something is wrong. And again, this wasn't that much of a problem as late as in 2007.
In addition, I shall say that I'm not fond of picture sizes like 3328x4992: I never print such pictures, I don't have monitor that large, and don't think I will ever get one in foreseeable future (monitor with 4992 HEIGHT? even if such a beast exists, I'm afraid even to think how much it costs). I obviously don't mind about such pictures as long as Met-Arts provides lower resolutions, but I don't consider such HUGE pictures as an advantage too. But one thing calls for improvement, and it is that if I've selected "Mid-Res" once, then ALL the galleries shall start to be shown as "Mid-Res" (now they still default to "Hi-Res").
Bottom line: Met Art is one of VERY few sites on the Net with potential to make erotic ART, but unfortunately it (IMHO) doesn't realize this potential. Also I had a pretty hard time rating it, so to do it, I've compared how much I enjoy it with another softcore site I've recently joined - VirtuaGirlHD (I know it's apples and oranges, but I don't have any better reference). And IMHO MetArt's old galleries are about on par with VirtuaGirlHD (88), and recent ones are significantly lower, about 82, so I've took average (85) as an overall rating.

Pros:
- Lots of beautiful young models
- Good search options/tagging
- Browsing by photographer is useful
- Lots of good lingerie/outfits
- Most sets good resolution
- Amusingly pretentious set names
- Massive archive and approx 4 updates/day
Cons:
- Would prefer a few more mid/late 20s models
- Age search option is daft
- Lingerie doesn't necessarily suit the models
- Some older pics quite low res
- Massive archive is bewildering
- Annoyingly pretentious set names
- Some sets too large
- Lacking in erotic content
- Videos uninspiring and soundtracked to death
Bottom Line:
Met Art has been vaguely on my list of sites to try for a while, mainly because it features work from a couple of photographers I like (I tend to follow photographers rather than models), and last month's special offer gave me the incentive to sign up. There are plenty of other reviews, including TBP, which detail the specific stats on the site, so I'll be a bit more subjective here.
Firstly, the site is vast; there is so much material, so many models, so many photographers, that it's hard to know where to begin. Fortunately, the search options are good; sets are tagged so you can just type in any particular keyword - eg nylon, stockings, etc and get a number of results. Sadly this doesn't work well with multiple keywords, getting sets with any of the words rather than all, but it's still useful. Search is also available on height, age, ethnicity, country, photographer - all useful, although unlike height, where you can search on a range, age is done purely on a single year, so you can only find eg all 25yo models... but it is smart enough to find sets where the model was 25 at the time of the shoot, as opposed to now - potentially a big difference in a site that's been running for a decade or more.
My biggest issue, though - and this is quite personal - is that the material here just isn't exciting. The girls are all stunning but - although there are some exceptions - have little sex appeal to me; the concept of the site seems to be to emphasise the beauty of the models at the expense of any sexuality. Even the models who do hardcore elsewhere seem uninspired here - and the same for the photographers, eg there's quite a bit of material from Michael White and Roy Stuart, both favourites of mine, but it's a toned down version of their other stuff.
Similarly, I'm quite keen on lingerie and nylons; there is actually a lot more nice stuff here than I thought, but most of the models are too young or inexperienced to carry it off; they look dressed up, posed, in it rather than comfortable and sexy.
Reading between the lines of some of the blog posts there, I suspect both model and photographer are constrained by strict guidelines MA put on what can and can't be shown - with a veto on any kind of lascivious behaviour, so there is little teasing, no touching, and rarely even a lewd glance. They may even be getting stricter, since of the sets I did enjoy, most seem to be going back a few years. Even though the photos are of course fully nude, I've genuinely been more turned on by some of the better lingerie catalogues & sites.
As others have noted, the videos here are also insipid; drowned out by supposedly sexy sax music and the like; and unlike the photo sets I didn't really find any worth keeping.
Scoring this puts me in a bit of a quandary. It's a good, well-organised site, with a vast quantity of solid photography and frequent updates; so it would be really unfair to give it less than 80. However, this is PU and I struggle to see it as porn, or even particularly erotic or arousing - It's just too... wholesome, like a glamorous naturist site and I kind of agree with hugow that if you wanted to cure your porn addiction, this could do the job. I'm not even sure about art - to me, art is doing something unusual, creative, pushing some boundaries, which MA doesn't really - but by that definition, my last reviewed site, Juliland, is art, so maybe I'll skip the whole subject :| Anyway, a (very generous) 80 it is.

Pros:
- Tons of content.
- Very cute models.
- Stays within the teeny niche.
- *Some* of the video content is top notch.
- Newer pics are decent at 800x1200, and there are quite a few, to say the least.
Cons:
- What the hell does Seventeen mean?
- Way ! too expensive for us yanks. 40+ buckaroos.
- Choices are great, but this site overwhelms you with choices, causing navigational havoc. See BL.
- Pic size could (should) go up a notch. Older pics are just too small for the jaded collector of 2008.
- No zips
- "High" quality option for vid downloads not so high, at least for the vids I checked. In fact, at 604 kbps, it looks dismal at full screen.
- Pages take too long to load because of all the fancy but useless pic-frame borders and variously-colored backgrounds.
Bottom Line:
I was turned down at first by this site but they took me on my second try. So here goes:
I'm disappointed. Main problem: the site needs Organization. Categories are a good thing, but this place is category mayhem. There are 35+ picture-gallery categories, and a few of these are split into "gallery" and "archive". Some categories have separate numbered archives. In the vid section (which is called Seventeen Cinema [I think] and requires another log-in) there are 42 categories, or "labels". The vids are taken from full-length DVDs which you can order and are not entities unto themselves. Most vids offer high and low downloads. Some offer "full", which means highest quality: 2100 kbps, 720X540. These vids look great.
For pic collectors like Willy, who has short term memory loss in spades, all these categories are too much: blondes, brunettes, redheads, wet teens, shaved teens, kinky teens, schoolgirls, highschool girls, dirty teens, anal teens, left-handed teens, vertically-challenged teens, teens who read Proust.... you get the idea. There are some great sets and tons of cute models, but while I'm browsing and clicking I keep wondering what I might be missing someplace else. There is a model directory, but each name I clicked on merely took me to a set of four or five pics: not thumbs leading to sets or vids, just pictures! What's the point of a directory if it doesn't direct you to the model's content?
I'm running low on characters. BL: save your dough, yanks.
