I posted a comment at PU (this site) on Aug 11, 2009 about how photoflashes by photographers ruin some of the videos. I also said that the artsy style of the photography is an acquired taste. The site has both good and bad points. So it's up to the viewer whether he wants to pay for a site membership.

Regarding lack of response to emails requesting help, that's a problem at other sites as well. And I have posted at PU when I did not get a response to emails requesting help at different sites.

So your experience is not unique. And it's helpful when you state your opinions clearly, so other PU members can decide whether a site is worth joining.

I did not disagree with your review. I was merely pointing out that some PU members enjoyed the site and gave it good scores (in spite of any minor problems they may have had).

But your experience at the site was poor, and that results in a lower score.

Well, yes, personal tastes differ, though I've seen more reviews of this site that complain about the iffy camerawork. I did read good things about Explicite (on a different review site) and signed up on that basis, only to find that I had chosen a very flaky time to do so - the site was malfunctioning for several days. OK, problems happen, but the attitude of the owners is important, and their lack of response was the key factor. I felt more like a cash cow than a valued customer!

Welcome to PU. Interesting review. Sorry you had such a poor experience with this site. Porn is very much a matter of personal taste. The previous PU reviews all gave this site pretty high scores, but you are certainly entitled to your opinion.

This is a weird one - and rare.
A billing where there's no help from Epoch - on the contrary.

Normal billing: CCBill - and yes, again: Not $24.95 via TBP - BUT: Euro 24.95 (over 36 bucks) (for europeans and others outside US - AND this is a french site).

And you can try to sign up via Epoch AT the site - but, man, here it's even worse: Euro 29.95...
Never seen that before....

Please, webmasters at Explicite Art: Let's have a good/some explanation.

I regret that your experience was so bad. This is a pretty good site in general. This is the type of site that you join if you want to follow the development of a girl as she is starting in the porn biz. I don't know of any other site that does that.

I don't know if you read a few of the PU reviews before you took the plunge. I notice that a few mentioned that the dialogue was all French.

You might want to post in the forum the type of sites that appeal to you and the ones that you avoid. I'm sure that you will get some great suggestion

I agree totally. Cameras are intrusive - we pay to watch action and eroticism, not technical equipment (only the sort that gets used internally, anyway.) Maybe it's some sort of French avant-garde thing - it spoils some of the videos for me though.

I tried to sign up for this site recently and for some reason it didn't let me do it. The payment page kept going inactive. I tried several browsers and two different connections (work and home) Maybe it's just a fluke, but I thought I should point this out. Looks like a nice site, though.

I've joined this site a few times over the last few years. They are now recycling some older content as new updates at times and the camera work tends to be pretty bad in some of the movies since the camera man seems to have had way too much caffeine and can't stay with one angle for more than 5-10 seconds at a time.

I remember this same thing regarding the camera work from when I was a member a while back. It was SOOOO annoying. During a scene the camera guy would switch from the action to the girl's face, back to the action to the girl's face, over and over every 2-5 seconds. It was ridiculous

Camera Work/Direction Needs Improvement On Newer Videos

I rejoined this site after a couple years (and giving a very good review). I think Monsieur Root thinks of himself as an "artiste". For porno, the camera work and direction is not proper to the genre. It seems that every view of the "action" is limited to 2 or 3 seconds before you get a cut or edit to something else---very often a close up of a stunt cock's face. I feel like I'm back in the 1970s when directors were afraid of showing too much sex lest they be charged with obscenity,so they did quick cuts and plenty of male facial closeups. We don't need to worry about that anymore. Consumers want to see the sex, and they don't want to see male faces.

Khan helped me out (nod to Khan). I actually DID need to clear the cache and then return through TBP (or PU) to get the discount price. I hadn't been to Explicite in over 2 years.

Maybe you'd like it better, I don't know, since you're into vids. For me, who thought they'd gone to 3000 px photos as a standard, it was a downer. Only OCCASIONALLY do they do them at that size.

Worse still, the downloads are SLOW, SLOW, SLOW! Like 60-70 kbps. Even the thumb pages, even the individual shots at 800px (for modest closer inspection) are slow. Imagine waiting 15 minutes for one gallery of 100 pics at 1800 pixels.

Maybe the routers will work better next time, but this first return visit has been like a return to my DSL days with a lousy ISP.

Special Offer AGAIN not working

Both paysitediscounts and TBP have a special price of $24.95 listed for this site, but repeated attempts from different links from those sites always bring up a join page with ccbill that lists $29.95.

What's the deal? (I mean, if there really is one ...)

When I was a member this past spring and summer, I'd say a little under half the video updates were "behind the scenes" style; most of them, BTS and otherwise, has a photo set they obviously corresponded to, but were mostly shot separately, so you don't get flashbulbs going off except during cumshots.

I should add that they did not use capchas and were quite download manager friendly at that time, so these would seem to be recent changes.

the new videos are H.264/MPEG-4 AVC with AVC1 codec and the size is 1280x720 pixel. I'm not the typical video guy but would say that quality is good even though I think that the stills are of higher quality.

Yeah, I mentioned the photoflash problem in my review; either you have a videographer in the photos or the photographer in the videos. One at a time, please! I understand this in hardcore scenes (catching the dudes' cumshots, which can obviously be pretty much impossible to accurately recreate in separate shoots), but in solo and girl-girl scenes I think it would do wonders to not shoot the video and photos simultaneously.

I've been a member twice and unless they have another offer at a low cost then I don't think I'll join again. One of the thing that this site has going for it is that many French(mostly) pornstars made their debut on this site. If you don't speak or undertand French then this is alos a negative mark going against them. If you like softacre then you may find some of the first phtoshoots to be along those lines but I don't think it's as much intenioanl as it's by designed. If you like a certain model then you will stick around to see her go hardcore. Some do and then some simply stop at softcare.
I also find that the updates don't come that often.

Sniping at Explicte Art.

I like softcore, will watch hardcore, but Explicite Art site would be an acquired taste for me. What I like best are lovely girls and women. The artsy porn here is supposed to be candy for the mind and eye, but I find it harder to digest than what met-art and similar glam photo sites offer.

I also don't like the photoflashes from a photographer who is doing a photo-shoot of a video session. That is stupidly intrusive on the action of the scene. Not all videos have the photo-flash effect, but some do. If someone decides to piss in the background, are we supposed to regard that as artistic embellishment of a porn scene?

(Sorry, maybe I woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning.)
