Some older vids don’t look HD quality
Most videos contain music backing track
No file sizes listed for zips or video options
No scene description or preview for videos, all you get is 1 thumbnail picture to decide if you want to download a scene.
Some small photo sets, only 30-40 photos A lot of models only have 1 or 2 updates
Bottom Line:
As a current member of Met Art I was able to add a membership here for less than $12 so couldn’t resist the chance to see what’s on offer here for that kind of price. The Life Erotic claims to be a nude art site with an erotic explicit edge to it. The archive here goes back to May 2009 so there’s a little over two and a half years worth of content already online.
The models here tend to be a little older than the nubile teens you will find at Met or MPL, most here according to the ages given in their model info tend to be early to mid 20s. You’ll find quite a few established models who have been around for years such as Ariel, Eve Angel, Nella, Lucky and Peaches to name a few.
The navigation is fairly basic with the usual options to browse by updates, images, movies or via an A to Z model index. No other categories or options to search the models by age, location or breast size etc as far as I could see.
My primary interest in any site is always the photo collection and I must admit as I browsed through the collection here I was struggling to see the erotic and explicit side that they promised in much of it. Admittedly they do have a few sets that contain some pussy play, toy use and even a couple of fetish wear and light bondage theme sets but 90% of the photo sets I would say are not much different to the kind of content you would find at Met Art or MPL Studios. Take today’s update of Nika N, 120 photos and not even a decent spread shot, Thursday’s update of Kira, 55 photos standing against a rock face, barely a glimpse of her pussy. Where is the erotic or explicit in that?
Many of the videos however do contain a little more erotic action with many of them featuring some masturbation and toy use. The wmv files I downloaded came in at 1280 x 720 @ 4128 kbps and mostly looked pretty sharp. Average run time of videos is usually between 5 and 10 minutes and overall they look professionally shot with decent lighting and camera work. All the videos I’ve watched so far have a musical backing track to them.
The most disappointing aspect for me was the amount of non exclusive content I recognised from other sites. Anyone who has had a membership to the old Eve Angel solo site will instantly recognise some of her content here as Exotics4me mentioned in a recent comment. There’s also stuff here I’ve previously downloaded from Teen Dreams, Viv Thomas, even some old licensed content seen on Eurobabez that must be nearly 10 years old and my initial excitement on discovering the model named Elise here is actually Young Legal Porn’s Gloria soon turned to disappointment when I realised her sets here are the same ones I already downloaded from YLP. There’s also a lot of content here carrying the Walter Bosque copyright mark and although I’ve never had a membership at Walter Bosque Art a quick browse of the tour there would indicate that there seems to be some duplication of sets between the two sites.
Overall some nice content and can’t really complain too much for the $12 it cost but 79 is the best score I can give for a site padded out with so much non exclusive content.

Pros:
- The girls. Many are hot and not seen everywhere.
- Some nice erotic closeups.
- Constant updates rate : 3 pics' sets and 1 vid per week.
- Navigation : minimal yet complete.
- Models list.
Cons:
- Pics quality : too much noise on many of them.
- Vids quality : bad compression, too many artifacts on the 1080p vids (both wmv & mov).
- No models' bio.
Bottom Line:
I won't lie, I've seen better. But I've also seen worse.
There's a lot of room for improvement, but they're on the good side.
My biggest concern is the technical quality of both the pics and the vids.
The pics have a lot of noise, even the ones taken on a sunny environment.
It's clearly not a call for abusing of Photoshop, but they should really get a better equipment.
The vids are 1080p indeed, but that's the only HD thing here. They offer Windows & Quicktime formats, but both of them have artifacts and light compression issues.
The best thing here is the girls. Many of them are hot and new to me.
The atmosphere is good too, on both the pics and the vids.
I'd put them between Femjoy & X-Art. It's an erotic site with an explicit touch.
The navigation is minimal yet complete. You can easily find everything you're looking for, even though there's no models' bio.
Each model has her own page that lists every set/vid she did. But they miss a direct link to it on the sets/vid's page.
In the end, it's an average site. If you're looking for fresh girls, you can give it a go.
Each set has about 30-40 pics (few of them have more) and a vid lasts around 5mn.
The speed is good and I've yet to experiment limitations.
There's not many updates per week, but I'd rather keep it this way than seeing many bulk updates per day.
Now if you care about your pics being noise-free and your vids being crystal-clear, you'll be disappointed.

I joined this site only after a promo email from Met-Art. The Life Erotic claims to be a nude art site with an erotic explicit edge to it yet more than half of the videos downloaded showcased models posing for video vice explicit erotic edge.
Every video observed has a musical track in the background which is generally alright for soft-core modeling. In my opinion, I should hear the model only. She is gratifying herself.
My primary interest of late in most sites is the photo collection. I break the photos down between portrait and landscape view then showcase them as you would “normal” photos you see in any house. I agree with Tangub; I do not see the erotic and explicit side that is advertised.
I had joined this site after a promo email from Met-Art. The content, while mostly exclusive, isn't exclusive as a whole. I couldn't put a number on the amount of exclusive scenes since I don't collect all these models, but I can give some examples that may explain why the one member review here talks about technical issues with the photo and video quality.
On Eve Angel's content here on The Life Erotic, at least 6 of the 12 sets they have of Eve are from the old Eve Angel site, including a set, Eve drinking milk and pouring it on her body, that dates back to 2004. That photo and video set and the old stairs set (listed as Stairway to Heaven on Eve's old site) from Eve's site were released as exclusive on The Life Erotic. And both were released on The Life Erotic in 2011. Both of these sets are 6-7 years old.
They are posted as HD, where as the original ones were on Eve's site in 640x480 resolution. That could be where the problems with the video is coming from that the previous reviewer noticed.
So, check the model list and the available sets before thinking you're going to get content of a favorite model that you don't have. Overall, the site's not bad at all. They do have some really nice models I haven't seen before, but there was a letdown when I went to get some "new" Eve content only to find out it's up to 7 years old, repackaged as new and exclusive. This would be easier to look over if they didn't have a banner across the top of those sets that says "Exclusive".
Just noticed this one as a new artsy softcore listing at TBP and I glanced at the site. The place looks small with only about 25 scenes by my count but it claims to have 1080p HD video downloads and lifesize (4300 pixels) photos. The price looks reasonable at $20 a month and they promise multiple weekly updates but from the tour I couldn't tell how frequently they occur. Also the pic galleries seem to contain fewer than 40 shots per set which is a bit small by my standards. Now I'm just waiting to see who will take the plunge first and post a review on this one.
