Pros:
- Lots of "completely nude" sets
- High Resolution photo sets
- Zipped content
- Exclusive sets
- Good site navigation - uncluttered design
- Online favorites section (galleries & movies)
- Works well with site ripping software & download managers
Cons:
- not much variety (lots of outdoor shoots)
- Nice blog section hasn't been updated for a couple of years
- nothing you can't get on (IMHO) superior sites such as FemJoy and MetArt
Bottom Line:
Don't get me wrong - I like the site. I like my porn to feature insanely beautiful girls. You know - the kind of girls that on an unfair planet you would never get to see topless - let alone spreading their labia. Just occasionally this site delivers one of these creatures and this was what tempted me to AVErotica in the first place. But...it doesn't appear to be happening enough to keep my hard earned money going to Mr Volkov. THere are currently around 130 models on the site and a quick browse through the mug shots only meade we really want to investigate around 10 in any more detail.
The site is well laid out if a little simple and feature light. The set rating feature seems underused (even the "Top Rated" models seem to have only around 80 votes each) so isn't very reliable. Not a big deal to me as I tend to download everything and keep everything but...
Video content is of a high quality but updates are only once a week and most have one of those awful Kenny G style soprano sax soundtraks.
If you're a fan of very naked, usually quite pretty Russian girls in fairly explicit poses then this site is probably for you - especially if you can't afford the membership to MetArt. Nut But I'd be suprised if you kept the membership going for more than a few months. Personally - I'll probably join for a month every other year or so and use download mangers to rip the last year's content as both download speed, no DLManager limitations and full archives will make it a good deal.

Pros:
+NO TOYS! (Yes, it can be done!)
+All exclusive
+Photos in 667x1000, 1667x2500, and 29xx X 43xx.
+Zips in medium size only, but they’re heavy, and the galleries have lots of pics. (Example: 5 zips I had of one model equaled about 650MB.)
+High quality, data-rich images. A medium-sized with a plain green background was 656K; a large was 1.72MB.
+Videos, smallest to largest file size, in wmv, Quicktime, and DivX
+Galleries from 07/07, daily from 11/07
+Server speed
+Easy, sensible navigation
+Can rate and/or comment on models, galleries, and videos
+Visitor’s preview shows a lot about the site
+Do check out the blog area. The writing is clear and focused and the stories told there might interest you. The English is almost perfect. They must have a great Russian-English translator. (Assuming that Volkov is Russian. Ukrainian? Other? I don't know.)
Cons:
-For video fans: Not that many are up so far. 26 to date. Videos started in 9/07 and there’s a new one each Tuesday.
-For 1280x720 stalwarts, just 16 of the vids are that size.
-Videos can be boring
-Too many photos of the model looking away from the camera
-Galleries usually have no clear organization; I recommend a "narrative" approach of stripping to total nudity with implied sex
-Blurriness in some photos was a bummer, especially of what would have been splendid ass shots of Goldie (oh my!). Overly dark pics less of a problem, but sometimes were.
-Would you like all of the models? I didn’t, but I liked enough.
Bottom Line:
Anton Volkov (hence the “AV” in the site name) is an established nude photographer with quite a corpus of work at MetArt, where he presently ranks #10 among their 60 listed artists. Several of his models there are also here, including Alice A/Malina, Irina, Julia, Katya, Leticia, Nusia, Olivia, Riana, Tati, and the especially awe-inspiring Lena, Goldie/Zlata A, and Nata (aka Helen, Larissa, etc.).
There are no duplications of MetArt material here. And yes, this is a purely softcore site, and I hope it stays that way.
Vids: With softcore vids, it’s especially challenging to keep the viewer enthralled. I recommend this basic idea: “I am undressing for you ... I want you so bad ...” The model has to get aroused, look often right into the camera, and feel passion for someone who’s not physically there. The POV is the viewer, having a very memorable day.
Dasha’s vid of turning around on a bed, looking very bored and clueless as to what to do was a total bomb. Olivia’s “In Corset” was better, as she had some magnetism, but it still didn’t hold me. And that’s all the predictable boredom that I cared to undergo to write this review.
$24.95 for access to several months of exclusive, quality content was a good deal, in spite of the flaws, without which the site would have rated higher.
What it needs most is a more consistent visceral "connection" between the models and the viewer, in the pics and the vids.
*Newbie reviews and ratings don't count toward a site's overall score/rank until the user reaches the Rookie status level (5 points). This rule is needed to help prevent fake (or heavily biased) profiles and reviews.

I happened to the site tracking down pics of one fine model I have from MetArt and from Femjoy. It was easy to spot the artist.
A real delight if you are fan of the two sites above. Lots of outdoor shoots, generally of over 100 pics each. Many very wonderful and spell binding girls. Nice additions to collections from MetArt and Femjoy. As said no duplicates, however many are from same day/location and are cut from series before or after those sold to Femjoy in many cases.
I found the movies 'better' than either Femjoy or MetArt. I rarely download movies from either of them, but am finding avErotica more compelling.
The daily updates have really bulked the site this year.
If outdoor shoots of Russian girls with no tattoo's is your delight, then you will enjoy this site. The pictures sets are less glamor than MetArt, especially the outdoor ones. More earthy feeling overall.
In my book any 'outdoor shoot' is a leg up anyway, so that is my taste on the matter.
