Pros:
The softer and prettier side of porn and even hardcore porn
Their update schedule can be very slow, but they are still updating
Several download options on videos up to 4K
Picture sets are important on this site and are downloadable
Very pretty models and settings
Some hardcore scenes mixed into the mostly solo masturbation scenes
Cons:
The update schedule could or can be a major problem for those requiring frequent updates.
Maybe some different races of models would be better?
Bottom Line:
I was surprised to see X-Art updating again. I read about their alleged demise in multiple reviews. There is a catch, the updating schedule includes an entire month of no updates. As of today, 5/22/2025, there have been no updates in May 2025, there also were no updates in March 2025 or January 2025, it looks like they’re updating every other month. I am okay with that. The site has over 1,000 videos and picture sets. The oldest videos still provide high definition videos and high quality pictures. The newer videos, roughly newest 350, include 4K downloads and to my knowledge – there are no download limits.
These softcore sites, even with hardcore scenes mixed in, really do revolve around the attractiveness of the models. X-Art is up there high up the list of model attractiveness, I would like to see other races (women). It doesn’t take away from the attractiveness of their models. Challenging the softcore status of the site are hardcore (male and female) and lesbian scenes. Much like other softcore sites that try to squeeze in some hardcore scenes – it’s hit or miss. The lesbian scenes are generally very good.
There are around 500 female models. A lot of them are familiar to me, but that’s because I joined sites like Nubiles for years and X-Art seems to be a parallel to sites like Nubiles, also Met-Art. They’re pretty, nearly all if not all are slim to medium and nearly all were under 24 when filmed. I think at this point, 18-24 is a good range for the “teen” category, but just in porn.
The photosets are gorgeous. The models strip and tease and show everything. The videos are extensions of the photosets by putting the photos in motion. The biggest resolution I have found on pictures is 4000. All are downloadable.
The navigation is good. The site uses three headings at the top of each page to make it easier. You can click updates, videos, models and Colette’s Choice which is just picks of the best scenes. I don’t know Colette or her taste so I stick with scrolling through the updates or the model index. If you go to updates, you can then filter by clicking on recent, group sex, male – female, lesbian and back-door love, see how prettied up the site is? They don’t even call it anal.
I enjoy porn like X-Art makes. There’s not much story, but the sex is the story. I would bump the score up a little if they included more of a story. Now that I think of it, the story is one, two, a group of young people get naked and do what’s natural.
I’m very happy I joined again and at least saw updates in 2025. Like others, I thought the site was gone and finished. It’s close to a top of its class site, but I will respect the opinions of those who want more updates and keep the score at 92.

Updated:
08-16-2205:07pm (Update History) Reason: Added more opinions
Pros:
-Old content (2015 and before) is some of the best porn ever created
Cons:
-Current crop of models are all Eastern European.
-No tags or advanced search/filter options
-Updates were starting to slow before the pandemic but really slowed down during 2020, with no new updates for almost one whole year as of August 2022
Bottom Line:
When it was founded, X-Art was hands-down one of the best porn sites on the internet. The couples were really into it, because oftentimes they were actual couples. The videos were well-produced and cinematic. In fact, they were so 'artistic' that they often wouldn't even show the man cumming inside the woman.
The current site is absolutely nothing like this. The videos are indistinguishable from mainstream, over-produced porn. The sex is mechanical and emotionless, and the creampies are often obviously fakes. The actual quality in performance, lighting, camerawork, etc., was way better *ten years ago* than the current videos being put out. This can only be explained by massive cuts in production budget and a lack of passion both behind and in front of the camera.
The site used to have a wide array of models to choose from. As of the last 7 or 8 years, however, they have been hiring mostly barely-legal Eastern Europeans with no tits. They're probably paid a fraction of what a US model would be paid and I bet STI testing regulations are way looser. For some reason they also have not been crediting models lately, which seems suspicious.
Even when this site was new, navigation has always been primitive, with a very rudimentary search function, no tags, and no filtering besides choosing solo, couples, or group sex.
They appear to have been deleting negative comments on videos, which is the lowest sign of desperation.
It's easy to blame the pandemic for the decline of this site but the quality has been decreasing since the middle of last decade, and the updates were decreasing in quantity long before anyone had heard of COVID.
It's sad to see a site that was so great and unique die such a slow death.

Pros:
-Huge archive
-Variety of scenes (solo, gg, bg, threesomes) although nothing hardcore or extreme
-Amazing models, some all-time favorites (Little Caprice, Nancy A., Eufrat, Blue Angel...)
-Nice photography, settings, direction...
-Stream + download option
-Several download options (HD/SD, MOV/MP4, and 4K in more recent scenes
-Great download speed and no download limit
Cons:
-Navigation options are scarce
-Site can be slow to react sometimes
-Updates are not very regular these days (between one and four per month this year, approximately)
-Photo sets don't seem to be very large (although I am not really a photo fan, so I don't really care that much)
-Can be pricey if you don't get a discount (and BEWARE of pre-selected cross-sells!)
Bottom Line:
This site is just one all-time classic. It goes back over a decade, and it features some of the most beautiful models that have ever worked in this business, and some of my all-time favorite girls: Little Caprice, Angelica, Eufrat, Blue Angel... Many of them are now retired or have their own websites and onlyfans, so there's no new material with them on the site, but the archive is so huge, that you probably won't mind.
In fact, updates seem to be a bit irregular these days, I don't know if this has to do with the pandemic situation, because last year the update rhythm seemed to be much higher: one update one month, up to four on the next one... In any case, as I also mentioned, their archive is so huge, and with such beautiful girls, that you will have plenty of material to watch before you have to wait for new updates... I guess this only becomes a problem after a couple of months of membership, when you have really "burned" the site archive...
And also, even the oldest content looks quite good. Photography is great, lighting is great, locations are gorgeous, and the quality is in general more than acceptable. (In other sites, older scenes seem grainy and old-fashioned).
For each scene (or for most of them in any case) there is a photo set and a video. I am not a photo fan so I won't comment anything about that. As for the videos, you can watch them online or download them, in several different qualities and formats, with a great download speed and no download limit (and believe me, I have downloaded A LOT of their content in these past weeks).
Of course, this site won't do much for those looking for hardcore or extreme content, since its style, even in the boy-girl scenes, is quite mellow: you could call it couple-porn, if you know what I mean. And also, as many of the girls are Eastern-European, there is no talking on the videos, and not really much context to the sex (excuse me, lovemaking), which can get a bit boring to be honest.
But the only major flaw of this site is... the site. Navigations options are really scarce: Updates, videos, models and favorites; and under categories: videos, photos, and a very few related with content (Male-Female, Group Sex, Backdoor Loving, etc.). A more detailed category system would make a huge different for me. For example, I love foot-fetish focused scenes, and although I know X-Art is not in that niche, I would like to know if any of their videos feature foot worship, footjobs, lesbian foot fucking... And the same with massages, bondage, etc. The only way to find these specifics is by browsing the list of videos and trying your luck. Which is really a shame...
Apart from that, download speeds are great, as I mentioned, but the navigation of the site seems a little slow sometimes, for example when you click on "Download" or "Add to favorites". Nothing really troubling, just slightly annoying.
(I will add just another small and sort of funnny "glitch": in their site, models just don't age, they are in an eternal Peter-Pan-esque youth. Little Caprice, who is by now over 30 -and still smoking hot- appears as "22" in the X-Art site, because that was probably the age she had when she started).
All in all, I would highly recommend this site, particularly if you get a discount coupon or offer, since their normal prices are a bit pricey (and they come with some also very expensive pre-selected cross-sells, so be very careful of what you sign up to).

Pros:
Huge content
Wonderful Photo Galleries
Enough reading material about videos and models
Professional shots
Cons:
Site navigation and video player is not the best.
Tagging and search is not good.
Bottom Line:
x-art is one of the best amateur porn sites I like. It has a big archive. Videos are shot professionally and do not have lighting or other problems some other sites have. Their video player is not the best I have seen, but you can download the videos easily, and also automatically at multiple resolutions. Also, they have very nice photo galleries to download.
Site navigation of x-art is not the best you will find. Updates, Videos, Models, and Behind the Scenes are the main sections. You can see their archives easily. Also, you can comment on videos and models . They have enough models. Even though some models have only one shoot, some have several. You can find all kinds of amateur videos on the site, from solo shoots to group, they have enough selections to satisfy you.
I like the good lighting and different locations on their videos. There are so many outdoor shoots and if that is what you like in an amateur site, you will not be disappointed. Since they have a big archive, you will find more than enough close shots and group shots also.
If you like reading about the models and shoots, they have a nice blog.
Beauty of x-art ladies will definitely satisfy you. They are mostly young actresses as you would expect from an amateur site. The shootings are professional, and the videos are amateur. That is what I definitely value in amateur site, beautifully shot amateur videos. However, their best quality must be their wonderful photo galleries, you will get lost in them if you are into photos as much as I am.
The site could have been designed in a better way. Even though, they have 4k videos on the site, navigating through the site and searching for videos can be a problem sometimes.
Actors and actresses do their work better on some other sites I have been.
They have an option to subscribe for 2 years non-recurring, which is their best value, and they definitely have more than enough content to be a member for 2 years.

Pros:
- Ultra hot girls. It’s honestly hard to think of any sites with more beautiful performers (within this pro/mainstream, Eastern European aesthetic)
- There’s a variety of scene styles: solo, lesbian, boy/girl, threesomes, group sex. Within this variety there’s always a sensual, even ‘loving’ vibe between the performers. It’s the kind of content I can imagine watching with a lover.
- Production values are very high for both videos and the photosets
- Updates are regular and frequent – the collection is pretty huge thanks to this
- The more recent videos are available in 4K resolution, and basically all videos can be streamed from 360p to at least 1080p.
- Downloads are fast, streaming is also a smooth experience
Cons:
- The site has a visual niche for its performers and it sticks to it quite strictly. It’s a fantastic niche, but some more visual variety would be nice.
- Browsing the collection can be frustrating. The search engine is surprisingly basic and there’s no real option to browse by categories (more on this below).
- I’m sometimes getting an annoying banner across the top of the page that is prompting an upgrade. Disappointing to have something like this when it’s not the cheapest site around…
Bottom Line:
X-Art has been going since about 2010, and over that time they’ve built up a large collection of videos and accompanying photosets. It’s hard/impossible to count, but exotics4me’s review suggests that they have around 1000 videos – that seems like a conservative guess to me. Basically, there’s enough porn here to keep you busy for a long time, so it’s good value in that sense.
The specialty here is in extremely hot, model-like girls, usually from Eastern Europe but with some Americans, too. The look is slim, refined and super feminine. It’s rare to see tattoos or obviously fake breasts, and I would say the makeup is fairly ‘everyday’ and tasteful. ‘Glamcore’ is for sure the right term to use for X-Art.
Keeping with this theme, the scenes are shot in luxurious locations (indoors and outdoors), with some very slick lighting and camerawork. I noticed that some scenes are more cinematic than others, but as a rule the visual production is refined and matches the exclusive kind of beauty that the girls have.
Videos come with a text describing the action and the situation, but within the videos themselves there is rarely anything like a story. In this case I’m glad there’s no needless distraction. Instead, they usually start with some playful and flirtatious posing and stripping, where the details of the girl’s exquisite bodies are revealed. The fucking can be solo, lesbian, as couples or in groups, but it’s practically always sensitive and intimate, like you’re watching a (professional) boyfriend and girlfriend. There are lots of closeups of blowjobs and cocks sliding into the girls, etc. to go along with the wider shots. The effect really emphasizes things like skin texture, wetness, and softness, creating a super sensual atmosphere.
This is a strong point for me – the girls have that kind of beauty where rough treatment would feel wrong or a waste. Some people will wish for rougher action, but I appreciate being able to (virtually) luxuriate in the beauty and touch of these girls. Sometimes I might be in the mood for something more amateur, but that’s just not what X-Art is about so I would go elsewhere for this. X-Art have focused on glamorous girls and sensual fucking, and I think this focus is why the quality is so high. It means there’s not much diversity in the girls or the way they perform, but you don’t really go to McDonald’s for Chinese food…
If X-Art has a weak point, it has to be the website itself. The search function is really weak – it seems to only search video/photoset names, and performer names or something. So if you search for something like ‘neighbor’ or ‘cumshot’ you won’t find much, if anything. This could be because there is also no good system for tagging videos. Instead, I find myself sometimes searching by model (there is a ‘Models’ page) or simply browsing the entire collection by rating or upload date. I can always find something good, but it’s a bit disappointing that it’s this hard to search through the collection – especially since it’s so large.
This is a real annoyance, but it doesn’t overshadow the quality of the videos and photos for me. You always know what you’re going to get on X-Art, and it’s going to be top-level, glamorous beauties fucking sensually and shot professionally. If you can afford the rather high membership price and you’re interested in the niche like I am, I think it’s worth at least a short membership.

Pros:
- One of the internet's top artsy but hardcore sites.
- The quality throughout is very high.
- Download speeds are very good (80% of my max) but the site sometimes is a bit slow to load. It's not my internet and my computer is considered a still viable computer in video gaming. I'll go a little more into in the BL.
- The models. Some of the prettiest models in the world and they use high production values.
- Update schedule isn't consistent but it works out to 3-4 updates a week.
- CCBill as the biller, there was a cross-sale and it was checked, it's to their other site. Kind of hard to see because their signup page is black.
- If you've ever liked their content, you probably still will. I think they're one of the most consistent sites.
- While it has nearly 1,000 videos, I join it for for the picture sets. They have some of the best picture sets I've ever seen.
- It's one of the few standalone sites these days that gives you your money's worth and more.
Cons:
- My score reflects the 5 point automatic drop. I hate this site's navigation. It annoys the hell out of me. The videos navigation is very good. The model's list is very good. The updates, which is the only way to find the photo sets, is one long page of scrolling. I expected a change on that but it hasn't happened.
- I'm trying not to use the word "heartcore" because I for some reason really like this site but don't typically like heartcore. But that is very much a con for some. It's kind of mushy.
Bottom Line:
X-Art to me is a site you could join for a year and wouldn't get tired of the content, if you like the content. And, it might take a year to get to the bottom of the updates page! Why isn't that fixed? If nothing else, easy fix here, stick a photos "tab" up there with "videos" and have 30-40 photo sets per page. I think I broke my my mouse's scrolling wheel on this site. I have no idea how much content there is overall because I get to 2013 and stop scrolling but open the videos, 40 per page, 24 pages. I not only know roughly how many videos but I can jump from page to page too. I was going to just do a 5 point deduction, but I believe an 8 point deduction is more fitting.
That wouldn't be a problem but I come for the photo sets. That's really my only legit complaint. I thought I had got around it. There's a drop-down menu that has "photos" in it. But all that did was put all the photo sets on the long, scrolling page!
If you've not been to X-Art before, it fits that "female-friendly" genre of porn. I hope I'm not being sexist by saying that. I know women who love the most hardcore porn on the internet. So, I'll say, in general, this is a more "realistic", mushy, kind of lovey style of porn. They still get very hardcore at times but it's done tastefully. That was the hardest paragraph I've ever typed in a review!
As I've gotten older, I have started liking the teen-style models but they're still not my favorites. And most of the models here fit the teen-type, slender, very pretty, if there are tattoos you don't see them often and implants are either a no-no or very rare. It's also not just male/female. They have quite a bit of lesbian too and some solo too.
I don't know if this is a negative but I like their pictures better than the videos. It's most-likely me. I haven't been joining or downloading much what I call "regular porn videos". I have downloaded 38 (exact count) so far at X-Art, so it's not that the videos are bad. Their picture sets have my favorite thing in porn photos, the models going from (usually)dressed fully to fully nude and they do enough of the in-between dressed and nude photos in their sets. They excel at it. The newest photo update wasn't one of my favorites. It's titled "Sex with Gymnasts". It's a lesbian set. There's nothing in the photos to make me think they're gymnasts. I was excited to download and view it. There's no stretching or upskirt splits. And they're nearly nude at the beginning! I hear gymnasts and I think tight shorts or tight leggings. But that's rare for them.
Videos are 965 in count, since January 2016, they've had the 4K option on the videos. It is a little sporadic back when they first started it but they're offering it on all of the newer videos. This shows the quality, at least to me, over those 965 videos, 961 have 1080p option. They also have 720p, 540p and 480p. The pictures are all downloadable and are 4000 long end in the "large" download file.
I even think I understand why I like their photos so much, the lighting is very natural. So you don't get the real warm colors like some sites use but you also do get crisp colors and I would even say the colors are more of a cool color. That's become more important as I've got older and my eyes don't especially like bright, vivid colors.
I also know why the site loads so slowly. It's that long scrolling page. Their "thumbnails" for each set are 350x400 resolution and I would estimate there's over 2,000 of those on that page.
I do like their solo videos. They have some with big toys and some with little toys and the models, as said, are very pretty.
As for the main male/female content: I've at least got over the feeling that it's silly to try and project love in a porn video but it's not just that. It's the mushy part that I don't do well with. I don't even do that mushy stuff in my life. They're up there making love. And I think that's where it loses me because I like the teasing and the playfulness and then they should go at it like jackrabbits. They never seem to respond to the teasing and playfulness like they've been teased. It's still not a big negative. The content is popular with some people and I'm okay with that.
The site is still a top site that's worth joining at least once. Can't complain at all about the technical quality or what looks like someone spends some time actually setting the scenes up. Just don't expect any double ass to mouth or even hair-pulling. Maybe that's why I like the solo videos better? Some of those solo ones look like they're trying to tear their insides out.
With solo content becoming more rare and focus on photos becoming even rarer, those who like those should definitely check this site out. And their lesbian content is on par with a typical lesbian scene. If they would fix that scrolling page so I could see all the photo sets, I would jump it up to 96-98 but that page will annoy some people. So, I'm going with a 90.

Pros:
The girls here are all beautiful, mostly Eastern European and very popular. If you like the Met-Art or FemJoy networks, you will also like this site. The site has evolved a little, though, and is now featuring several porn stars and starlets that you have seen elsewhere. The videos are well done, dedicated videos. The girls are natural, trimmed or shaved, and solid 9s on the combo body-face scale. Every image and every video is high quality, with no older shoots or videos to disappoint. Even the music selection and timing in the videos seems well done.
Cons:
The overall quality of the images and videos seems to have declined slightly, or, at best, is not keeping up with the standards of other sites. The site format has not been updated in a while and seems a little dated. The number of images in each set has dropped and the highest resolution shots are often upscaled rather than converted from raw files. The site also relies heavily on all-white backgrounds, which was a thing a couple of years ago but seems a little tiresome today.
The site is now breaking out the photo sets and the video sets from a shoot, that used to be one release, into multiple releases. This allows the site to effectively cut the number of shoots in half.
Perhaps the biggest shortcoming that this site has is that it only updates once every 2-4 days. With several other sites updating daily, the potential that this site once had to really compete with the top sites has dulled somewhat.
Bottom Line:
This is a well done site. The photographers and videographers do a very good job of focusing on the girls..and I don't just mean keeping them in focus. The sets, lighting and overall environment combine to create excellent imagery. The videos seem pretty genuine and there are some very good videos both of solo girls, couple and girl-girl scenes.
Navigation on the site is good, allowing you to list by update, model names or model rankings. Downloads are fast. Image selection once in a set has changed since my last visit and no longer allows you to select size. Instead, you get a full screen image and a zoom button that allows you to zoom in considerably. Zips are available in several sizes, usually up to 2500x4000 pixels. Videos come in SD, HD and 4K.
The images are all focused, lit and cropped nicely with no odd or distorted angles, giant panoramas or distractions in the images. Perhaps the only personal thing is that there is a slight shortage of images showing the entire model in a natural position (i.e. without the legs or feet cropped). I'm not a foot fetishist, but I do think several complete images of each model once she is undressed would be nice. Also, several of the more recent image sets are very fuzzy at the high resolution, either because of compression, editing, or both.
Overall, this site could easily fit into the Met Art network as a sex-art clone, or in the Femjoy network as a Joymii clone. There are nicely done photo and video sets, beautiful models and the sex is comparable to the sites I mention above. But the dated format, not-quite-top-tier image quality and less frequent updates mean that this site is no longer one of my top picks. It is still a great site and I highly recommend it, though.

Pros:
- Another first time join for me. A heartcore site with a lot of high quality content.
- Others might not agree on this, but I prefer the pictures on this site to the videos. And the videos aren't bad at all. The pictures are just that good. (Will praise more in-depth in BL).
- Very pretty, natural models.
- Updates aren't daily, but looks like they average 2 videos a week and 3 picture sets. Or at least have since I've been a member. One week was just 2 photo sets and 2 videos, but they could use a little more structure and order to the updates.
- Uses CCBill as biller, been a long time since I joined a site that uses CCbill.
- Good amount of solo sets which I still prefer, but has plenty of boy/girl sets, boy/multiple girls and some girl/girl.
- Some 4k videos for those who want those. Still not really a big deal to me. Videos have 1080p option dating back as far as I have looked.
- Should have started the pros with this. Photo sets start with model(s) clothed!
Cons:
- I really hate this one since otherwise this site is near perfect. The navigation is a pain in the ass. It's not terrible, it works well, but there's one long page of updates. Hopefully you like scrolling. You can get around this by going to the model list, but I don't know most of these models. They have a drop-down box that allows you to filter with like 4K only, photos, videos, so that's why I say it's not terrible, but even after filtering, you're back to scrolling.
- Could use more girl/girl. I could even do without the boy/girl on here.
- The old "that's not really a con" con, would like more photos in the picture sets.
Bottom Line:
For whatever reason I've avoided joining X-Art for years. I think it has to do with my frustration with the heartcore-boom from a few years ago. It was everywhere, even on hardcore networks.
I think it creates a philosophical problem for me. I just can't see something staged ... as love. Not to worry, it's why I also don't watch mushy television shows. I know they're actors and the stories are fictional.
Outside of that, the only real fault I can find on this site is the navigation. I really don't even know what would fix it? Either way, I scanned as far as I could to see when the 1080p videos became available and after using hyperscroll for nearly a minute straight, I made it to 2010. Those had the 1080p option. The problem with this long scrolling screen is it causes a computer to lock up as it loads more scenes. I'm usually working on something else when checking porn sites out so I have to stop whatever I'm doing.
Hard to believe that's a complaint, but my PC is on the higher end. I don't know if that would muck up an older computer or not.
The rest is good. Models, much like Wow Girls, are really pretty younger women. I want to say there's a little more variety here with body size, but it wouldn't be a big difference. These models all look like fit college girls. I can tell because my wife has girl-crushes on college girls and she really likes these models.
One thing I will compliment that probably isn't mentioned much is these girls look more like regular girls than glam models. Which is really great for me. A couple that stand out right now for me are Lily Ivy and Melissa Moore. They both remind me of girls I see over at the local college. Especially in their dressed pictures.
Which is another big plus that's probably not mentioned much. All of the picture sets I've looked at start with the model in clothes. It's usually regular everyday clothes like a tank-top and shorts, some of the multiple people photo sets start in just underwear, but that's even better than starting out nude.
The solo videos are as good as any site's solo videos, believable, passionate masturbation. The girl/girl videos are also believable. The boy/girl videos are okay. It's the same problem with all heartcore sites. Heartcore tries to sell too much realism. I don't like realism in my porn and seem to become cynical towards it. No big deal though, some will really like those boy/girl scenes.
The photo sets could have more pictures in them. Quite a few are under 50 photos. Usually 100 is a good number. It's not really a complaint since I'm saying I would like to see even more. The photo sets can be downloaded in 1000, 2000 and 4000 high end. Download speeds are excellent on both photos and videos. I'm downloading the videos at 7 MB/s, which is above average for me.
There's only so much praise you can give a site. Having CCBill as a biller is even a big plus these days. Very pretty models. High technical quality. Models dressed at the beginning of photo sets. Downloadable photo sets. Fast download speeds. That nearly fulfills my entire mental checklist of what I want from a porn site, but there is the clunky navigation and the similar build/race models to complain a little about. Though neither of those are enough to pull this site down. I consider it a little better than Sex Art and put it well above Wow Girls.
I'll go as far as saying it has made my list of sites to return to. That list is very small these days. Would recommend it to everyone.
Edit: didn't remove any points for a minor annoyance, but wanted to mention it. When I first joined and signed in, it took me to a community page. I don't have much interest in community pages on porn sites. I thought I had joined something besides a porn site.

Pros:
-The collection of models rivals any porn site on the Net, as far as attractiveness of the models.
-The videos and photosets are professionally shot: excellent lighting, good camera technique, the models are professionally made-up, the costumes are good quality, as well as the sets.
-Choice of hi, standard, low, and mobile definition for videos;
-Choice of hi, medium and low definition for photo sets.
-No download limits.
-No DRM. Download a video or photo set, it's your to keep.
-Zip files for photo sets in low, medium and high definition.
-Epoch is the biller, a respected name for payment processors.
-Long time before site timeout.
-Can use download managers. I use Down Them All, a free download manager.
-Excellent download speeds. I get up to 4.6-4.9 MB/sec downloading a file.
-All content is exclusive.
Cons:
-The cons are basically minor. This is mainly a well-designed site, that is easy to use.
-No search engine. A good search engine would save a lot of time for members who have specific needs.
-The models are 18 to early 20's. Mostly white. Extremely attractive. There's no variety beyond that. So if you want to see mature women, or different ethnic backgrounds, you won't find it here.
-You can sort the models by popularity, newness, name or age, but the listing order is clunky: You have to scroll down the page numerous times, to bring up more models, instead of just being able to scroll smoothly down to see all the models.
-The action might be too soft for some tastes. This is consensual sex: almost no hitting the women, slapping, spitting, forcible sex.
-Updates average one per 2-or-3 days. Would like more updates. But the site emphasizes quality over quantity, which is a good idea.
Bottom Line:
Site statistics:
Number of models: 200+
Number of photosets: 800+
Number of videos: 600+
This is one of my favorite glamcore sites. It does an excellent job presenting the models as attractively as possible.
The models are almost all lovely to look at: they range from attractive to stunning to drop-dead gorgeous. Examine the model pages to see what I mean: these girls could be movie stars, based on their physical looks.
Note: The photographer can have a massive effect on how attractive a model appears in a photograph. The X-Art site photographers do a great job in showcasing their models. A model that might appear as just OK or slightly attractive at a different site, can appear to be alluring or beautiful or gorgeous in X-Art photos.
Most of the action is sweet, loving, gentle sex, either solo, twosome (boy-girl, girl-girl), or threesome (mainly 2 girls + 1 boy). The sex is mainly presented as between consenting adults who are giving each other pleasure. There is very
little gonzo sex. Recently, they have introduced a few videos/photosets showing a more forceful, 50-shades-of-grey style, since that seems to be the flavor of the month. But even then, you assume the sex is consensual.
When the site started, it was called "Beauty is Divine", and the content was strictly softcore photos of lovely models, but no videos.
Then the site became "X-Art", and they started adding videos, and the focus changed from softcore photography to glamcore, where they started adding sex, which over time became more and more explicit.
If you haven't tried glamcore, this site is definitely worth at least a 1-month membership, just to see what glamcore is.
The PU discount means $20/month. Considering the quality of the site (exceptionally beautiful models, professionally shot photosets and videos), you get more than your money's worth, if you are into soft, erotic sex. The site has been around since 1999, so there is a large amount of content (photosets and videos) to explore.
Was a member approx. 1 month prior to this review.
Pros:
-Beaufiful, natural girls who seem to be enjoying themselves in very nice settings.
-Well presented site with good navigation (but see cons).
-Video and photo production quality is very good.
-Photos can be downloaded as ZIP files.
-Variety of video download options - the HD MP4 video files are quite small whilst still high quality.
-Content can also be streamed.
-Scenes are not overly long; some of the shorter scenes at less than 20 minutes are especially hot.
-Most scenes are more "romantic" than "porno", with lots of kissing, so this site may be more likely to appeal to women.
-Good value for money with TBP member discount.
-Plenty of girl-girl action if you're into that.
-Works well with my download manager (I use Firefox/DownThemAll) and fast download speeds.
-Can leave comments on scenes and save models/scenes to a favourites list.
-Good usability on mobile phone device.
Cons:
-Navigation isn't as comprehensive as other sites: you can't search for specific types of scene (e.g. anal, interracial etc) though there is a navigation menu option for group sex scenes.
-Scenes can be a bit samey with not a lot of variation, with some scenes being just kissing, blowjob then fucking in one position to end.
-I didn't like the continuous scrolling of pages of content and the models listing, modern though it is; much prefer numbered pages with previous-next navigation as it's much easier to get back to where you were after clicking on a particular scene to watch.
Streaming in HD could be bit choppy more often than not.
Updates don't appear to be daily, but perhaps that's asking for too much?
Group sex and interracial content is a bit thin on this site, though having said that, the interracial content that is there is very hot - check out the scene with Ana!
Not much anal or DP but then that's not really this site's focus.
I'd like to have seen more girls in stockings.
Bottom Line:
This is a great site with plenty of hot content that's a bit different to your average porn site. Models are mostly US and European and the scenes are less "porno" and more "people having and enjoying sex", so not many scenes have facials or anal/DP, but having said that, there are a few anal and DP scenes and some of the US girl's scenes all end with facials. Most scenes end with the guy cumming on her ass, back or on her pussy, with some scenes ending in creampie, which is more "natural" I guess.
Whilst quite a few of the models are recognisable from other sites, most of the models I've never seen on other sites.
Scenes tend to be natural (that word again!) so no sex in every position, just kissing, oral (usually mutual), then fucking in a few positions to the end.
Compared to your average porn site, there's very little chat during the scenes which start with the performers naked, so there's little or no build-up to the action. But having said that, the performers don't tend to make over-faked noises during the action, so not many screaming girls here.
I did find that when I cancelled, I was offered a continuing membership for an extremely low price that was very tempting.
Overall a site worth joining for at least a month.
Current Member for over 1 year (at the time of review).
Pros:
-absolutely beautiful natural girls who appear to be enthusiastic and well looked after
-well presented site with multiple streaming/download options
-good value for money compared to some others
-high quality shoots, excellent production values
-good mix of established and unknown girls
-Angelica's "Goodnight Kiss" is almost worth the subscription alone!
Cons:
-very little variation in themes/scenes/styles/locations. if you're looking for anything other than two people having tasteful sex in a white room with white sheets then maybe try elsewhere
-website could be improved with a better tags and filters system
-sister site colette.com is now being heavily promoted and standards on x-art seem to have gone down slightly since its launch
-it's definitely more "x" than "art" these days, I'd like to see a little more artistic license being used
Bottom Line:
If you are looking for high quality content with stunning, natural girls then I would recommend this all day long.
Current Member for over 2 months (at the time of review).
Pros:
Holy. Crap. This site is absolutely insane. I'm a girl and love watching porn so having a sexy, young, ever-new site like X-Art is essential for me.
I've never seen hotter girls anywhere. They get the top top models from all over the world and they do the dirtiest stuff. I can stay on there for hours.
I love the production value and how real the girls look. They actually LOVE doing what they do.
They have every type of video for whatever mood you're in: solo, girl-girl, threesomes, orgies... it goes on and on.
Cons:
It's hard to think of something they can improv on but I guess I'd say I wish they had 3 updates a day :)
Bottom Line:
You MUST join. Even for 1 month and you'll know what I'm talking about. Even if I'm not horny I'll log on to check our their new videos and I automatically get turned on and have to play with myself. Both the guys and the girls are sexy and irresistible.

Pros:
+The scenes are very well shot with multplie camera angles and good lighting
+They appear to have all exclusive content(at least video wise).
+Over 530 videos and 550 photosets that can be downloaded.
+Videos can be downloaded in MP4 they offer a wide variety of video resolutions from 640x480 all the way to HD 1920x1080.
+Photosets can be downloaded as a single zip file and they offer you 3 possible resolution(4000x2667 is the highest one)
+All content is dated and they appear to update with one new video or photosets once every day.
+Nearly 200 different models to choose from.
+Lots of kissing.
Cons:
-Content may be a litle too glamorous for some.
-The videos are on the glamorous side of things but this is still gonzo porn with no premise, no dialogue and basically just sex.
-The lighting on a few of the videos leaves a lot to be desired.
-Their models are all teenagers and women in their early 20's so anyone looking for more mature performers will have to look elsewhere.
-Not all the models have accompanying videos and/or photosets.
-If anal is your thing then be advised that they only have 17 videos and they probably try not to shoot these type of scenes.
Bottom Line:
*I've been aware of this site for a couple of years but I kept putting off joining because I was afraid that I wouldn't enjoy their content. I can't say that I was wrong because I find that their content is mostly hit or miss for me.
*One of the reasons why I had reservation is that I had expectations that the content would appeal a lot more to me and they were unable to do that. Not their fault since I may not be the person this is meant for.
*Now the second reason is that these videos are for the most part gonzo porn with not many things to distinguish them from other gonzo videos. I know some will disagree but let me demonstrate what I mean.
1-There's no dialogue in these videos.
2-It's common for the performers to be naked or semi-naked at the very beginning of the scenes.
3-The girls give a BJ to a guy who already has a hard-on.
4-The videos show a variety of sexual positions but I couldn't help but feel that they are there so that the camera operator can show a different shots then a proper evolution of a real sex scene.
5-The last thing but the most important one to me is that it's common to see facials and a cum shot to the mouth.
*Sorry but facials should never be included in glamorous porn because there's nothing glamorous about shooting cum all over the face of the woman you had sex with since there's no way you are going to kiss that mouth and obviously neither do the guys in these videos.
**Now the two important things that distinguish these scenes from other gonzo type videos is that the performers actually kiss multiple times in the scene and the guys orally service the women. It is actually common for them to do that prior to the women returning the favor on the guys. Just these two things elevate these gonzo style videos to a level that most gonzo studio never go and may make joining well worth it.
**Now I am giving this site a pretty high score which might look strange after I said so many negative things but there is no denying that the people responsible for this site strive to offer a very good product and even if I am not that satisfied myself. I do recognize that this may be more because of my personal taste then their efforts.

Pros:
1)Really hot girls
2)HD videos + pics with nice posing & directing
3)Video bitrates are among the best that I've experienced
4) Easy downloads
5) Regular updates
Cons:
1) Could use more variations in girls' bodytypes
2) Slight decrease in recent video quality/bitrate (avg. now 7-8000K, before 8-9000K)
Bottom Line:
This is probably my favorite go-to site for what I'd like to refer to as "artistic porn". With really attractive, young-looking ladies with soft, petite bodies, X-Art provides a nice balance between hardcore action & art. There is a nice mixture of hardcore & softcore sets that can satiate whatever you're in the mood for. Video quality has taken a slight dip in recent months (they seem to have downgraded the bitrate slightly or have switched to another post-processing method), but they're still top-notch compared to others in the industry. I highly recommend this site if you're into the genre.
Current Member for over 1 year (at the time of review).
Pros:
- All attractive models, mostly well known, although many are now mainstream porn performers without quite the same class.
- Usually avoid models with bad piercings and tattoos, when they do use tattooed models they do a pretty good job of hiding them.
- As far as I can tell, there are no models with breast enhancements.
- Good archive of some of the most beautiful photography I've ever seen.
- Site doesn't seem to time out. When I first joined I stayed logged in for several days while downloading the old material.
- Easy navigation and basic search facilities. All updates are clearly dated.
- Big clear thumbnails on updates & model pages.
- Very active member community, with lots of comments.
- Multiple sizes and resolutions of photos & videos, up to 1080p, although I only ever download the highest.
- Streaming available.
- No logos on films, very small logos on photos.
- All content seems to be exclusive.
- Plenty of material, around 400 films and rather more photo sets.
Cons:
- Very slow and unreliable downloads.
- Little variety of models - almost all white, slim, 18 - 25.
- Model bios are a joke, even more so than most sites.
- There has recently been a huge increase in the volume of material, and a great drop in quality control.
- Some photo sets still very good, but an increasing number of out of focus & poorly lit sets.
- The voting is blatantly fiddled, with all updates being posted with large numbers of 10/10 votes
- Comments are pre-moderated, and while they allow through some mild criticism there is much more leeway given to those who follow the party line.
- Over the last year the material has become much more sexually extreme.
Bottom Line:
Don't get me wrong, X-Art was good, but there are now serious issues.
It is odd to find a major site as slow and unreliable as this. I never get much more than 200 KBytes/sec (every other site I am on maxes out my internet connection at 2 MBytes/sec), and it often takes several attempts to download. I travel a lot and am home briefly, and often don't manage to download the backlog. There are several films I never have got downloaded - this is using 3 different pcs, 3 different browsers, and several internet connections - I've even tried in hotels (which I don't like doing) with no improvement.
The technical and artistic quality of the films has dropped a lot recently. It has gotten so bad that there are a lot of complaints on the site, but in reality it has been dropping for several months. This isn't just about the bunch of films released that are supposedly HQ but are very pixelated and really very low quality, in general the quality has dropped. Obviously no-one looked at the films before uploading them. There have been several films released with terrible lighting problems, including one that was completely unwatchable due to purple lens flares across the entire image. The film editing has become very basic, and many films don't even end smoothly with a fade to a "the end" screen, the film just stops suddenly 1 second after the action finishes. Clearly much less time is being spent in post-production and no checking is being done at all.
It seems strange that site blog keeps boasting of how quickly they are producing material. They say that large numbers of films & photo shoots are being done in a day, clearly with little preparation. Almost all the updates are produced in one house in Malibu, or one studio in Prague. The same sets are being used over and over, and the updates are clearly being filmed in a few minutes with minimal attention to detail. There is no longer any scene setting, they just put people in front of the camera and make them get on with it. Many films just have one camera from the side doing a longshot, and one from in front doing a close up, and all they do is cut between the two.
The voting is a joke. Many sites pump up the votes a bit, but this site is ridiculous. Updates appear around midnight, and have between 30 and 100 10/10 votes. They give more 10/10 votes to the more extreme material which is what they prefer. It means that the site, rather than the membership, is choosing what is more popular. It also makes the older material, when they didn't do this, seem poorly rated. Members can make up a new name whenever they comment, and I get the feeling that some people are having conversations with themselves, or putting up multiple positive comments for the material they like. There are a suspiciously large number of comments with female names which never appear again, especially on the nastier material. The moderation of the comments is uneven, and it is noticeable, for example, that comments insulting members who don't like anal are allowed through while responses aren't. The pre-moderation and blocking of anything that mentions other sites in a positive light is comical, as Colette recently went onto SexArt to take advantage of their lack of pre-moderation to advertise and try to poach members - when she got a negative response she became very aggressive and made wild allegations. Eventually SexArt, who are very tolerant in their comments, had to remove most of the thread.
The material has become much more sexually extreme, and a significant portion of the recent updates are clearly aimed at the mysoginistic male mainstream porn market. There is a lot of anal now, several DPs and rough looking facials, and the blog shows that this is clearly the direction the site wish to go. A lot of the current material just looks harsh and aggressive and like mainstream porn. Material like this used to attract negative comments, it doesn't any more apart from a couple of sad sounding members. Either the comments are blocked or the old members from the artistic days of a few years ago have left.
X-Art was the benchmark glamcore site. Over the last year or so it has left this behind, and is now marginally upmarket mainstream porn. I say marginally because good mainstream sites wouldn't put up the technically poor films that have been posted recently. If you are coming from regular porn, looking for something that seems a little classy, you may well like it. If you're coming from erotica, and fancy something a little more explicit, or have seen some magazine articles or adverts and are considering porn/glamcore for the first time, SexArt or Joymii would be much more likely to suit. I find little artistic or erotic on here now, and my wife will only watch films if I have checked them out first. My annual membership is coming to an end (it's my second time on the site), and I won't be renewing.
Was a member approx. 1 month prior to this review.
Pros:
High Quality - From the sets, the sex, and the video from a technical standpoint (1080p clear video).
Original Content - Great stuff only found here.
Great models - They obviously have good taste.
Couple Friendly - Scenes my wife and I can enjoy together.
Interesting scenes - They can keep me interested with a variety of new ideas.
Cons:
Watching from an iPad, the site times out after 15 minutes (some vids are 20mins) - so you have to go back, and re-queue and find your spot. Seems like a technical oversight they could fix.
Organization isn't good - seems like manual updates and not a very "searchable" database of content (ie; no keywords)
Updates are either a photo set or a video - and it's mixed up - you may see the video for a scene, then the pics a month later, or not at all.
This may seem petty but while Colette is fun and means well, she gets a bit cheesy and has tons of spelling errors in posts - takes away from the shine a bit.
Bottom Line:
Well worth the subscription. While they could get a better "database" driving the site, and focus on a bit on the polish of the site - the content is unmistakably fresh, sexy and among the best quality out there.
Current Member for over 2 months (at the time of review).
Pros:
-some of the best and most intimate cinematography I've ever seen
-the most genuine-seeming passion I've seen in professional porn to date
-content is in general very classy and not degrading
-video quality is excellent and plays back smoothly on various devices
-download managers work, no bandwidth limitations
-daily updates (either photoset or video)
-videos are just about the right length without a lot of mechanical filler
Cons:
-no real search function
-behind the scenes section is not a useful bonus
Bottom Line:
This is the second time I've had a subscription to x-art. The first time I tried it for a month, and, after trying a few other sites, returned to get a year's subscription as I was hard-pressed to find any other site that measured up to what it had to offer.
It should be noted that I much prefer the "heartcore" genre of porn, as I find that style much more appealing than some of the more traditional hardcore approaches. x-art both epitomizes this style and does it perhaps the most successfully. About the roughest you will see on this site are occasional scenes where the sex is quicker and more vigorous than normal, but I can't think of a scene that was degrading (that in and of itself is a plus, at least for me).
The site's navigation is very straightforward: a chronological list of updates (also sorted by name and popularity), with the option to filter b/g, g/g, solo, and group. While it's a clean interface that doesn't get in the way and is great for checking a few times a week, it would be nice to have a search feature (for example, when I want to grab a different size of a video I have on hand, the fastest way is usually to look up the model, find the model page, and then find the video link from there - manageable, but could be better).
The videos are available in multiple formats and sizes (1080 and 720 HD, SD, and mobile), and all play back smoothly on most devices (I was even able to get them to play respectably on the tiny video screen of a classic iPod). The file sizes are smaller than those from comparable sites, although to me they seem to offer a clearer picture and smoother playback than most. The photosets are generally good too, come in multiple resolutions, and seem to be hand-picked without much in the way of repeated shots (which can also mean that you may not like the particular angles or frames they chose to include, but I like that I'm not having to sort through dozens of samey pictures for each set). There are several hundred photosets and videos available, all of consistent quality (although the earliest part of the archives are mostly artful, solo photosets, and videos show up later on, but there is plenty of video content at this point).
What I like most about the site, though, is the quality of the content. I have seen a fair number of sites in this genre, at least in terms of trial videos, and this one seems to get it the most right. The very basic requirement of this type of site, "not so gross I can't show it to my girlfriend," is met by most of them, but this site goes a cut above in providing videos that, through their cinematography and directing, present an actual chemistry and passion that is sadly lacking on many other sites.
Cinematography-wise, the shots work well to highlight things, never linger too long, and provide a good mix of close-ups, mids, and overview shots. The lighting is superb, the location shots generally beautiful, and the editing is clean (although the title fadeouts are a little irksome). The camera work is also good regardless of the subject, and on some of the solo intros, frame the female body in an incredibly beautiful way.
Speaking of the models, it's rare to see one that looks "porn-y", and to my eye at least are all quite stunningly beautiful. It's true that they stay on the "slimly european" side of things (I think I saw maybe one asian and one black model on the site), but they do not disappoint. The male actors are generally quite good too, and with the exception of one I don't like as much, tend to avoid the skeezy look and perform quite well.
What sets them apart even more, though, is that they actually attempt to achieve, or at least reasonably simulate, passionate encounters. The chemistry between the performers is generally excellent, and the passion in the sex feels believable. There's much less of the fake moaning than the norm, to the point where I can listen to the audio without it detracting from the experience, and there are orgasms presented on camera that for a professional site seemed amazingly believable.
Overall, aside from a few quibbles about the site design, this site does everything "heartcore" pretty much right. It is with this site alone, so far, that I come away from watching the videos and feel not just sexually satisfied, but actually happy to see sex presented with a seeming kindness and emotional authenticity that is too often absent elsewhere in porn. Perhaps, despite the title, it's not exactly art per se, but it's the best I've seen so far at managing to be both hardcore and truly erotic.

Pros:
Amazing video quality
Perfect glamorous/erotic blend
Accessible on my ipad, iphone, and mac
Stunning/beautiful models
Quick response from customer service
Great look to site
Regular updates
Cons:
None
Bottom Line:
I am so happy with this site - really haven't had any issues or even suggestions. The whole package is there with this site. You absolutely must check it out!
Current Member for over 6 months (at the time of review).
Pros:
-One of my favorite glamcore sites.
-The selection of models is outstanding. Most of the models are either attractive or gorgeous.
The photography and videos focus on making the models as attractive as possible, and it really shows.
-Easy login. Username and password can be saved. No captcha required.
-Good site design. Can search site by updates, models, or videos.
-Large thumbnails clearly show what the models look like, what models are in each video or photoset.
-Long time before site timeout.
-No DRM.
-Content has date posted to site.
-No download limits.
-Fast download speeds. I get over 2.1 MB/sec, which is close to my max download speed.
-Download manager works. I use DownThemAll.
-Videos and photo sets are professionally shot. Excellent lighting, good colors, good sound control (no random extraneous noises), most of the photos and videos are well-focused.
-Good update rate. Last couple of weeks, they have been adding one video or photoset per day.
Cons:
-The cons are basically minor. This is one of the best glamcore sites available. I'm basing that on the quality of the models (attractive to absolutely gorgeous), the high quality of the videos and photosets, how easy the site is to use).
-No search function if want to search by type of sex action, hair color of model, breast size, or other factors.
-If you don't like glamcore (some PU members call this heartcore), you won't like this site. There is no gonzo sex, no rough treatment of women.
-Many of the videos have brief moments where the video is slighty blurry. This is an "artistic effect", which I find stupid and annoying. I want my videos crystal clear, not crystal clear, with occasional blurry shots mixed in.
-Glamcore usually has soft "mood music" in the background. I prefer a video without any "mood music" or any background music.
-Models are white, late teens to early 20s. Some PU members might want a wider variety of models, different races, more of an age spread.
Bottom Line:
This is one of the best glamcore sites on the Internet. The models range from merely attractive to drop-dead gorgeous. The videos and photosets are high quality, professionally shot, to emphasize the beauty of the models. The sex is slow, sensuous, romantic.
There is a mix of solo, boy-girl, girl-girl. There are a few with 2 boys-1 girl, 1 boy-2 girls, 2 boys-2 girls.
I believe the site contents are exclusive. Although many of the models can be found at other sites, the videos and photosets at the site are exclusive.
There is a nice amount of content. The site has been around a number of years (2009 or earlier?). It used to be called "Beauty is Divine". When it first started, it was strictly a softcore teen glamor site. I don't believe it had any videos, only photosets. Each photoset had a small number of photos, and the models were uniformly lovely. The photography was high quality. Then the site name was changed to X-Art, and they started adding videos, and changing the approach from softcore to erotic glamor, which slowly evolved to glamcore, where the photosets and videos show actual sex.
Photosets can be viewed online, or downloaded.
Photosets from the last few years have about 100+ photos per set.
The earliest photosets had 25 or fewer photos per set.

BOTTOM LINE:
If you like tender young teens, in gorgeously photographed photos and videos, then this site is worth visiting.
As I said, this is one of my favorite glamcore teen sites.
Current Member for less than 1 month (at the time of review).
Pros:
excellent picture and vid quality, easy search of models.
Cons:
Video presentation can be downright awful with every single video opening with constant fadeouts to a blank screen and back again. One video of a new update in february is 12 mins long the first 3.5 mins are unwatchable because of this constant fading out. Weather its supposed to be arty or something I just find it extremely annoying and distracting when I want to be concentrating on the action of the girl, not wondering if the video is going to fadeout yet again. This is a MAJOR issue for me.
Bottom Line:
Excellent all round but but the terrible presentation in the opening minutes of videos really must be sorted out.
Was a member approx. 3 months prior to this review.
Pros:
+ Strikingly beautiful models. (Tend to be young/natural looking)
+ Sex scenes are well produced/shot.
+ 3 content updates a week. (Mix of video/galleries)
+ Good monthly rate. $19.95 without a TBP discount.
+ Content appears to be exclusive.
+ A large portion of the video content is hardcore, boy/girl.
+ Good mix of Euro and American girls.
Cons:
- videos start with music and credits rolling before the action starts.
- Struggled with using the download manager on this site.
- While the models are beautiful, they tend to have favorite girls that show up frequently in the updates. A little more variety would be nice.
Bottom Line:
I enjoy the young, natural models and have become bored with the handful of European sites using the same models, doing the same old sex scenes. X-Art is a refreshing change.
X-Art delivers on their tag line "Beautiful erotica". Many sites choose beautiful models, as X-Art has done. They take it a step further using creativity in setting up sensual sex scenes and know how to use the camera to accentuate the models and the sex.
If you prefer rougher sex (slapping, spitting, anal, etc.) you may be a little bored with this site. Aside from that, the sex is definitely not softcore. Most of the boy/girl sex scenes have some combination of blowjobs, handjobs and intercourse from every angle. I'd say about two out of every three videos is boy/girl. The rest are a combination of lesbian and solo.
The Web site is intuitive and easy to navigate. Videos can be sorted by update or most popular. The models can be sorted by popularity, newest model or model age. There doesn't seem to be a way to sort/filter picture galleries accept seeing them as they come in on the update tab or by finding a model and accessing the gallery through her page.

Pros:
- Many very attractive models
- Sensual hardcore scenes and solo
- Mix of European and US models
- Great photography and videography
- Good update schedule - 3 per week
- Login doesn't time out
- Material improving in terms of quality and creativity
Cons:
- $= regional pricing
- Short on ethnic diversity
- Likewise for ages - most models are very young
- A few anal scenes, not really my thing
- Likewise for group
- Basic browsing/searching facilities
- Could do with a just little more tease
- Arguably a bit formulaic
- Not all videos and photosets correspond
Bottom Line:
I've never really been much into hardcore; but following an enjoyable join at Joymii, this new-fangled artcore genre is growing on me (something is growing, anyway) - although a bit idealised, I like the portrayal of sharing sex between couples - and taken with a pinch of salt, I find it very arousing.
So I figured I'd take advantage of a good offer I received and try it out.... speaking of which, I'll get the main negative out of the way. This seems to have joined the ranks of sites who think that $1=1; so the price for those of us in the UK is about 60% higher. I'm skirting over this since the offer I received seemed to work in $, but UK/Euro users may want to try joining via eg Tunnelbear.
The basic stats of the site:
* Approx 150 models
* Approx 300 photo sets, dating back to 2008, approx 60 shots in each, in zips, up to 4K
* Approx 200 videos, from 2009, approx 10-15 mins, in combinations of WMV/MPEG/MOV, up to 1080
The look of the site is clean and modern, but the navigation is fairly basic; there is a model index; then just a list of updates, either all in one page, just all videos, or browsing all updates by theme: GB/GG/Group/Solo. They have enough material here to invest in a bit more ease of use; but it's nothing to complain too much about. Clicking into each gallery allows you to rate and comment on the gallery, which is a nice touch - although there are plenty of daft ones there.
The sites's tagline - and the theme - is Beautiful erotica, which I guess sums it up; hardcore sex, but more tender, realistic and creatively/artfully shot than regular porn sites. Actually, looking at the earlier material, they seem to have started out largely with solo photoshoots - I found them a bit clinical and dull, but they have got into their stride - it's good to see a site where the material is getting better as opposed to going downhill like so many.
It's very, very similar to Joymii - I think Joymii started afterwards so I suspect it borrowed heavily from X-Art - imitation and flattery, etc. It is therefore very easy to compare the two; so I'll expand on a few differences/similarities:
* Models: both sites have a mix of US and European models; many popular girls appear there, and there is large overlap between the two. But X-Art focuses more on the 18-21 range; I prefer a slightly broader range, but either way they are all stunning.
* The photography and videography in both are without fault. However, I find a little more creativeness in Joymii's camera angles, colour and sets; X-Art's sets are a bit over-idealised, tropical cabanas and the like. OTOH, some recent videos at X-Art have a bit more of a story - although there's no dialog, they have lent it a very cinematic feel, which is interesting and adds to the atmosphere. In particularly a couple of voyeuristic scenes which - with the subjects implied consent/collusion, is very exciting - more of this please!
* Each site has a fairly similar split of solo, girl/girl and girl/boy material; all of which works for me, although I'm more interested in the actual sex scenes here. X-Art goes a bit further with some group sex scenes and also some anal; neither of which really work for me.
* Joymii has the better site design (over-AJAXing it notwithstanding); I also like the fact that all updates are paired - one photo set and one video per scene. Many videos on X-Art don't have matching sets.
* Both sites could do with just a bit more of an element of tease. The clothes come off just a bit too quickly, and whereas I can understand they don't want to feature girls dolled up in tawdry lingerie, some more undressing wouldn't go amiss.
Overall, this is a great site; and although possibly one of the originals, it is good that other sites in the genre - as listed in Elephant's post on the forum - are keeping it on it's toes - some of the newer material there has very high production values to keep them in the running. I slightly preferred Joymii, but purely as a matter of personal taste; so I'll score this only slightly lower - but it loses another point or two for heavily biased regional pricing!

Pros:
- Unbelievable hot models
- Great use of light in films, awesome and stunning
- Great download option and now in 1920 x 1080
- Awesome group scenes, very unique and fresh
- Photo quality is stunning 8 times out of 10
- Scenes now are just right length (they were too short)
- Nice clothes especially nice white panties seen often
- Great at hiding tattoos
Cons:
- Some earlier films are very short
- Some earlier films have music all the way through
- Too many cum shots on the back, not my cup of tea
- Not many anal scenes
- Some scenes not 1920 x 1080
- Some girls only have photos which is frustrating for a video fan
- Search options could be better
Bottom Line:
Is it perfect, well no site is, did I enjoy it (or am I enjoying it as I've only been a member for a week), hell yeah this site has lots going for it and in a couple of years I think will be truly awesome, especially if they get to 5 or 7 updates a week. Currently though it's not bad with 3 updates a week.
I would of liked more anal scenes as shot in this beautiful style they look truly hot, but anyway I get not everyone likes anal scenes. cause the girls are so hot here seeing them is enough. I really loved their group sex scenes and would of loved more of them that's for sure, the one in the stretched limo with 4 girls and a guy was breathtaking and very unique.
Thing that sets this site apart from most sites is they can make the most beautiful movies, crystal clear closeups of faces, loads of angelic white light, coloured to perfection, don't ask me how they do it but it looks divine and really professionally done.
I liked and loved lots of the photos too, but some not so good, its hard to shoot people having sex on a camera though and you can't always capture the action in the shot without it looking like it was cut off. That said quite often here its simply perfection and you see a true classic photo that is oozing eroticity.
With some of the solo and lesbian work in photo here too, its damn right bloody mind blowing, some of the Franziska Facella ones are beyond dreamy, I've been a fan of hers for ages and she looks cute on other sites but here she is like a true angel and the makeup and light used on her is simply the best stuff my eyes have ever witnessed and I've seen some really good fashion photography which is a huge passion of mine.
Its a newish site so doesn't date back too far but I would say I totally recommend you take a visit here, it's really opened my eyes to how beautiful porn can actually be and it doesn't need to be women dressed up tarty and cheap, here the girls shine, they look stunning, they look to be having fun and it comes through in the movies.
If they do more group scenes and anal ones and get more facials too but all shot like this I'm going to be a fan for life. They are heading in a direction I would like to see porn, which comes away from its roots a bit and becomes all classy and sophisticated.
They lead the way to new horizons of porn I hope and its a case of getting more content and bringing back one of the girls with just photos and doing movies with them.
I can honestly say though with the calibre of models, never on any other site have I nearly clicked on every model, its unheard of with me to be honest, but there are so many gorgeous girls here it's unreal, where do they find them I don't know but many will have you falling for them.
I also loved the fact they try and hide tattoos, I really hope they try and keep tattoos away from this site as well as they can, a girl called Addison who looks absolutely stunning, just found she is called Mia Manarote and has one large one on her arm but in the awesome video of her I never noticed it, so much more beautiful without it in my opinion.
Over and out then but I did really enjoy this site.
I'm only rating it 92 because it is a smallish site but it's certainly heading in the right direction in my eyes.
Lastly I would also like to see tags more with say the category like threesome, anal. There is tabs on the video page Male-Female Couples, Group Sex, Lesbian and Single Girl but could do with more search options

A good mix of solo, lesbian and boy girl action (if thats what youre looking for, personally I would be happy with all solo so not really a pro for me)
Cons:
File sizes of zips not listed
Video run times not stated
No search engine or tags
No separate category for photo updates
Not much ethnic diversity in the models.
Some models dont have much content
Some models have no solo sets.
Many small photo sets (only 20 to 40 pics)
Overall photo collection surprisingly small for a site that has been online nearly 5 years
A lot of the sets start with the model already nude or wearing very little so not much in the way of stripping or teasing
Bottom Line:
Following on from two excellent reviews of this site by rearadmiral and lk2fireone in the last week or so its difficult to know what I can say about this site without repeating everything thats already been said so Ill just try and look at it from a different perspective as my main interest is solo softcore photography and I have little interest in the lesbian, boy/girl action or videos.
The earliest updates on X-Art are dated November 2007 and it looks as though it started out as a photo site for a couple of years with videos being gradually being introduced by the end of 2009. Today the site is more video focused and you can expect at least every other update to be a video. The site advertises updates every Monday, Wednesday and Friday but they seem to have stepped up the update rate recently and its looking like about 5 updates a week in recent times.
After logging in the main navigation options you are provided with are updates, videos, and models. Oddly they dont provide a separate category for those of us who only like to browse the photo collection. When selecting updates you will get all 500+ video and photo updates listed on one page so be prepared for a lot of scrolling. You can sort the updates by most recent, highest rated or title and you also have sub categories for solo, lesbian. boy/girl and group sex.
The model index is nicely presented listing all 140 models on one page with a nice sized 300 x 200 px preview picture along with her name, age and country of origin. You can sort the models by rating, date added, alphabetically or age. They dont provide any other search options if you wanted to search models by hair colour or breast size for example. The models are mostly 18 to early 20s here with a good mix of European and US girls but little ethnic variety. The stand out models for me here were Francesca and Caprice who both had a fair amount of updates each.
Clicking on a model will present you with all her available photo sets and videos so I decided the best way to find the solo photo sets I wanted would be to work my way through the model index alphabetically. 5 out of the first 6 models I checked didnt even have a solo photo set so I soon started to think I wasnt going to get a lot out of this site. Add in the fact that when I did find sets to download very often they only had 20 to 30+ photos in the set so it soon became apparent that this is not a high volume site for photo lovers on the scale of Met-Art, MPL Studios or Femjoy. In the end because some models didnt have any solo sets I just ended up downloading every solo and girl/girl set from the site which came to a grand total of just under 15,000 photos.
However what the site lacks in quantity of photos they certainly make up for in quality. These photo shoots are beautifully crafted and are as good as anything you would see at Met Art if not better in my opinion. The models are all naturally beautiful mostly without fake breasts or unsightly tattoos apart from the odd exception. I would guess there is some touching up going on in these photos because the models bodies always look absolutely flawless, moles and marks on the models skin that are visible in the videos have disappeared in the photos so if you like to see all the imperfections on the models then maybe this site would not be to your liking. I also love the photographers style the way he creates the sets using a lot of white backgrounds, often the model will be presented on a bed covered in white sheets or against a backdrop of white curtains or on a white sofa and often the model will be bathed in a hazy sunlight as it penetrates a nearby window to give the whole thing a kind of dreamy look. Many of the shoots start out with the model already nude but on the occasions when the model does wear something often it is just some simple white lingerie to give the models this look of youthful innocence.
I wont go in to any great detail on the video section in this review as its not my area of expertise and was covered by the other recent reviews. Overall this is a high quality collection of photos and videos and my only real complaint as a photo lover was that it left me wanting more. With the sites emphasis now shifting more towards videos and hardcore action only about 1 in every 6 updates hold any appeal for me so I cant see myself returning here any time soon. If your preference is for videos then you could probably add 10 points to my score.

Pros:
-No DRM.
-No download limits that I found. The first day, I downloaded 12 high-definition photosets and videos with no problem. The TBP review states
there is a download limit, but I didn't find one.
-Outstanding quality in the photosets and videos.
-High percentage of lovely or attractive teen and early-twenty models.
-One month discounted price of $19.95 with PU discount.
-Zip files for the photosets.
-The models are presented attractively.
-Some truly outstanding, lovely girls.
-Can stream or download videos.
-Updates 3 times a week.
-A behind the scenes blog can be interesting.
-Good download speeds. I get 1.3 MB/sec, which is my max download speed.
-DownThemAll download manager works fine at this site.
-Model listing. Single page, with nice sized thumbnails to show each model, makes it easy to search through the models.
Cons:
PROS (CONTINUED):
-There is a model bio. Gives name, country, age, a few personal facts.
-Good sound control. Apart from the unnecessary passages where they have a music background.
-The content is mainly exclusive, as far as I can tell. I did see one video that was also posted at beauty-angels, part of the Teen Mega World network: model Sasha D, video titled "Between the Sheets", is the same video posted at beauty-angels titled "Melika". The model is named Melika
at beauty-angels, and the video is also named "Melika". But the X-Art site offers more download formats than the beauty-angels site, as well as
offering higher definition versions of the video. Teen Mega World gives nice choices for video definitions, but X-Art gives high-end video definitions.
-Easy login.
-Long time before site timeout.
CONS:
-The cons are basically minor. This is an outstanding site for erotic teens.
-If you want gonzo or rough sex, look elsewhere.
Bottom Line:
CONS (CONTINUED):
-The soundtrack could be better. They play a music background on the introduction of the videos, and it would be better to have no music.
-Also, in the introduction of some videos, they try to add artistic touches. So instead of giving you a crystal sharp video image, the image goes in and out of focus, which is annoying. I want to see the girl clearly, not a bunch of out-of-focus images.
-Sometimes, you're in the member's area, you click on a hot link to see a video or photoset, and you are transferred to the preview section for non-members; so you have to log back in to the member's area, and try again to download the video or photoset.
-There are a few errors in labelling their hot links. For example, the site offers 3 hot links to download the photoset of Izabella Carr titled
"Red Velvet Goddess". You are supposed to have 3 choices of 1200 p, 2000 p, and 4000 p. But the 2000 p and 4000 p links both download photos of
2000 p. There is no 4000 p photoset.

Theme is erotic softcore and hardcore. Site started out years ago as a softcore photo site of beautiful young models, girls in their teens and
early twenties. The photosets were small, but nicely photographed. No videos, photos only, girls only, no actual sex.
Then, a few years ago, they started adding sex in their photosets. And started adding videos. They now offer high quality photosets and videos of solo female masturbation, girl-girl lesbian sex, boy-girl sex. The sex is sensual or erotic, not gonzo.
The site is well designed, making it easy to navigate.
You don't get the massive quantity of a mega site/network like Nubiles or Teen Mega World, but if you like the sensual, erotic approach, this site is well worth visiting.
Videos can be streaming or downloaded.
Download options include: wmv, mov, and mp4 format.
Download resolutions may include: 960x540, 1280x720, and 1920x1080.
But on a 15 inch laptop monitor, even the lower definition 540p videos look good.
The videos are short, mostly from 6 to 12 minutes. A few videos can hit 18
minutes. The quality is so high, you wish they were longer. You get good professional camera work, good lighting, good colors. The newer videos are being offered in 1080 HD, with bitrates of 8500 kbps or higher.
The photosets are high quality, as well. The number of photos per set varies widely, from 1 to 70 or more. The girls are so gorgeous, you wish there were more photos in each set, especially the sets from 5 years ago or more, because the early photosets had 30 photos or less, of lovely young models.
The girls are young (18 to 21), Caucasian, slender. Very little variety in the models. But they range from attractive, to fucking beautiful.
-The "Behind the Scenes" section gives a glimpse of how the photosets and videos are shot, also gives a little bit of the personality of some models.
The site advertises itself as "Premium Quality HD Erotic Videos and Photography." I think that's an accurate description.
