Pros:
- Attractive, mostly natural models
- Good mix of US/European models, broad-ish age range
- Clean, modern design
- Videos and photos come in matching updates
- Consistent updates - 2 photosets + 2 videos per week
- Modern, tasteful, interior locations
- Atmospheric, well lit and creatively shot videos
- Some cute interviews
- At least as yet, no anal material (could be a con for some)
- 4 sizes of pictures, up to 5K+
- Quality improving
Cons:
- Needs better filtering options
- Regional pricing
- Would like to see a few asian/ethnic models
- Some fake boobs
- Site too AJAXy - a bit glitchy with back etc
- Volume resets to max for each video
- Picture sets lose something that the videos have
- Video is 720; some folk may want 1080
Bottom Line:
This site is a bit of a departure for me - I'm usually into softcore photography but every so often I have a hankering for a bit more action. However, I prefer something a little more... arty is the wrong word, because we're still talking about smut here - but perhaps balanced. There are a few of these contemporary, tasteful (again, previous comment applies) sites around now, such as X Art - I went for Joymii since at least to me it somehow seemed to have a bit more character, and focused less on the 18-21 models, I prefer a broader range.
A roundup of the content: this is hardcore/midcore content; a mixture of solo, GG and GB scenes. Each scene has one movie update - generally about 10 minutes, available in a few formats up to 720p - and one photo update, consisting approx 50-70 pics, a good online viewer and 4 sizes of zips up to 5K or so. Updates come fairly consistently at about 2 pairs per week, and there are approx 150 of each, featuring perhaps 70 models. The models are both US and European, with many popular girls - the former including Holly Michaels, Marie Macray, Dani Daniels, Shyla Jennings, Karlie Montana, Celeste Star (a favourite); the latter including Caprice, Eufrat, Ariel, Connie (Josephine here, another favourite).
The site itself is generally good - although note it has regional pricing; $20=£20 does not compute. It's odd since sister site Femjoy doesn't seem to; either way, I was somehow able to circumvent that - I have no idea how! The form just suddenly decided to offer me the $ price. Once joined up, the site has a clean, contemporary design; which actually hides a few shortcomings. It's a bit too AJAX-heavy (pages which change without the actual URL changing), which leads to glitchy back button behaviour and the like. Links time out so if you have a page open for a while you need to refresh for the download link to work. The filtering is also quite lacking; the only real choices being 'Popular' and '2-3 some' - the latter including B/G and G/G material, which for some folk is quite a big distinction; it could do with a few more options there.
What sets this site apart, though, is the quality of the videos. Although they don't go up to 1080p, they are really sharp; but over and above that, they are just so well done. Gone are the gaudy colours of most porn; these are well lit, bright, but muted and subtle. The videos usually start off with a little music; it's fairly unobtrusive and fades out after a few minutes. The camera angles are often creative and interesting; lending a bit more context to the scene; showing closeups where necessary - but not necessarily of the obvious bits, but better for it!
The locations too are good - I don't mean to come across all metrosexual, but I find the interiors (not *those* interiors) in most porn really offputting; all those chintzy bedspreads, or faux-deluxe regency-type interiors... here we have bright, spacious rooms, nice contemporary furniture, lots of natural light. And similarly, although the models tend to be naked more often than not, where they do undress the clothes are nice, casual and flattering - nothing tacky or faux-glam.
None of which gets in the way of the explicitness - there's plenty to see, but the hardcore is done to make both partners seem to genuinely equally enjoy it; if you had a likeminded partner, this is something that's easily couples-friendly to watch. And on top of all that, they seem to be getting better at it; the newer videos have more character, and although they still use toys, they are relying less on them than the earlier videos.
On the other hand, the photos, although I can't quite put my finger on it, are missing something. Technically they are good - the same locations, models etc, sharp pictures, well-lit and high resolution. But somehow they don't have the same atmosphere; they don't have the same creative angles, selective focus and closeups that the videos do. For instance, I like a bit of context, something that helps put myself in the scene - in one video the model is masturbating while on a steamy phone call, it's very exciting; the corresponding picture set features the same model, outfit, location; but no phone, and mainly just posing for the camera. The photos are obviously shot separately from the videos; I just feel they could could bring a bit more to them. But again, they are technically good and I found plenty to keep.
This, then, is an easy one to score, agreeing with both TBP and the previous reviewers; although let down on a few small fronts, I really like the content, and I may well be a convert to the genre. Suspect I shall find myself at Orgasms.xxx sometime soon!

Pros:
- exclusive content
- (very) good looking models
- regular updates
- each pictures set has its corresponding movie
- crystal-clear HD vids (WMV / MOV)
- handheld encodes
- up to 5MP pictures in excellent quality
Cons:
- navigation could be improved
- models "bios" are lacking real portraits and a proper index
Bottom Line:
joymii is one of the first attempts at making a X-Art look-a-like alternative, by the makers of Femjoy.
What is it, in a few words ? Hardcore done in an artistic, intimate way. Read : no closeups in your face all the time, no constant speak...
So let's get to the point : is it a success ?
Almost.
Don't get me wrong, this is a very good site with very few flaws.
The main drawback is : as of today, it is yet another X-Art site, nothing more, nothing less.
So if you like the aforementioned site, then you will most likely enjoy this one.
The other "issue", for me, is the navigation. It is quite complete yet sketchy. You can't :
- filter the updates per month, year
- easily find a model without browsing all of them
What are the differences from its main competitor you'd ask ?
It's a pro site, content-speaking (not that X-Art isn't, far from that) but the atmosphere seems rather dull in comparison and the setting is often "dry".
Of course not everyone looks for that kind of ambiance, so you might enjoy this one better in the end.
It's also a pro site, design-speaking. And there, it surpasses its main competitor with few more features, like a more evolved rating system.
In the end, is it worth your money ?
If you like what you see as a guest on the site, then yes, you'll like what's inside as the only thing lacking is the download feature.
*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 mainly joined this site thanks to the discount price. Just thought I would throw that in as a reason for other webmasters to take the discount route.
I'm still a little iffy on the whole heartcore genre, but I do like the content better here than on the other heartcore sites. I have a few of the same complaints I had with Sex Art, I don't understand why solo sets are included, unless this model is extremely good at masturbation, dirty talk and has a lot of charisma. Eve Angel didn't do the talk at all, but she set a standard very few solo models reach, thanks to her ability to communicate with body movements and eye contact with the camera. The other is more minor complaint and it is the girl/girl content. I don't understand why one of these heartcore sites haven't tried 100% boy/girl. Maybe one has and I haven't found it yet?
Either way, for me, I liked it much better than Sex Art. Will review it over the next week or two once I've had a chance to see it all.
Is there anyone a current member or recent member that could tell me if this site is like X-Art or Sex-Art. I really liked X-Art and this site kind of looks a little bit like it, but I don't want to waste any money. Thanks in advance.
Continuing the saga of regional pricing on this site...
It seems to persist, by way of the $25 site being 25 in Europe. BUT with the new TBP discount - I received it in the PU newsletter and it seems the same when clicking through from the site - the $15 offer seems to apply even in the UK.
This is a great site - for me it slightly wins out over it's closest competitor, X-Art - and worth joining at this price.
This website caught my attention and I saw comments about regional pricing, but it looks like they no longer do regional pricing which is a positive step as it's $31.36 or Ģ20.44.
Thought it best to post a comment to address the earlier comments left. The website looks pretty good so have definitely added to my watchlist for future membership.
I watch porn with my girlfriend, and this is her favorite site.
The things i can add from my experience:
They are adding new models, some ebony, some asian, all beautiful and thatīs wonderfull because it adds some extra flavor.
The only thing that i donīt like is the audio on the movies. In a few of them you can hear people talking behind cameras, walking or even running on the set. Thatīs dissapointing because the overall quality itīs amazing.
Apparently the site featured female masturbation when it started, as stated in a PU review by anyonebutme posted 12-01-10.
But since then the site has also featured male-female hardcore action, done in a tasteful way. By tasteful, I mean the sex is gentle, with the man trying to please the woman.
The videos are sharp, with good lighting and colors.
