I certainly won't be rushing to join X-Art again anytime soon at those prices, $46.41 my end with CC Bill's good old regional pricing.

Parsnip's Review
Another excellent review. I really enjoyed the earliest solo content on this site but the introduction of more and more B/G content meant the site lost it's appeal for me so I don't see myself returning again.

Very odd regional pricing....the X-Art site says £19.95 (GBP) but when I click through to the CCBill join page it's £13.30 (GBP) or $19.95 (USD). Perhaps they haven't yet informed CCBill of their intentions to rip off UK customers.

Thanks for your kind words lk2, much appreciated. That was a difficult site to review being conscious of the fact there were already two recent fine reviews from your good self and rearadmiral and not wanting to repeat everything over again I hope I managed to achieve my objective of putting across a different view point without doing the site too much of a disservice because they clearly excel at what they do even if a large part of it doesn't hold much interest for me. Once again thanks for your help in locating the discount sign up link.

| Pros: |
Reasonable price
Billing by CCBill with no regional pricing
High resolution photos up to 4000px
Photos come in choice of 3 sizes with zip download in each size
Majority of videos are HD 1980 x 1080
Videos have up to 7 different download options and in browser flash streaming
Updates come several times a week
Content date stamped
No watermark on videos
Good scene descriptions
Ratings for models and scenes/photo sets
Zips and video downloads given file names which include model names and title of scene/set
Photo set cover included in the zips
A good mix of solo, lesbian and boy girl action (if that’s what you’re 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 don’t 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 it’s difficult to know what I can say about this site without repeating everything that’s already been said so I’ll 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 it’s 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 don’t 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 don’t 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 didn’t even have a solo photo set so I soon started to think I wasn’t 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 didn’t 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 model’s 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 photographer’s 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 won’t go in to any great detail on the video section in this review as it’s 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 site’s emphasis now shifting more towards videos and hardcore action only about 1 in every 6 updates hold any appeal for me so I can’t see myself returning here any time soon. If your preference is for videos then you could probably add 10 points to my score. |

Thank you so much for that lk2, really appreciate it. I've already signed up and yes I did get the dollar price without any regional pricing supplement so a great deal all round :-)
P.S. Forgot to add thanks to Pink Taco for giving us the heads up on this one, always appreciate it when someone finds a special offer for a site on my wish list.

I've never been a member at X-Art but would certainly be interested for this price. I've checked out freeones but can't find the link for this price, I've checked their special discounts page and also looked up their review page for X-Art so wherever this discount link is it's not blatantly obvious to me :-(

Thanks for your excellent reviews of the sites in this network. Tanya is a model i've always collected since i first saw her as a fresh faced 19 year old on sites like ATK and Teenflood back around 2003 but i wouldn't pay 30 bucks for this network of sites for such a limited content based on your reviews....at 5 bucks i might consider it.

Thanks for a fine review. I'm quite interested in this site but the lack of photo zips has always put me off before. Any idea what percentage of the photos is zipped now roughly?....thanks.

I do think the tours are misleading on these sites in that they don't make it clear that what you see in the tour is the network updates and requires a $99 minimum spend to see it all. The figures they quote for the number of models, images, scenes etc are for the entire network and not a single site subscription.

messmer's Comment
Messmer the deal used to be that there was a PU/TBP discount available whereby you could sign up for Young Legal Porn on it's own for $19.99 or take the network of 14 sites for $29.99 but it looks like that deal has disappeared. Same as you I only subscribed to YLP on its own but thought I might go back and check out the network in the future but as Elephant said it's certain that I won't be back if a minimum spend of $99 or sticking around for 3 months is required to get the network since as a photo lover the sites only had a limited interest to me.

Of course we're interested in your personal ratings and opinions dude, that's what PU is all about. This Young Legal Porn site you commented on is one in particular that divides opinion between superb for video enthusiasts to mediocre for photo enthusiasts so there's nothing to say that your rating might be wrong and somebody else's right. I'm sure most people here enjoy reading reviews from different perspectives.

Claypaws's Comment
As a photo lover myself I have to agree with what you're saying in this comment. I scored the site 85 in my review last October and I feel that was over generous considering what I actually got from the site, I guess I was trying to be objective and rate the site in its overall value to those who also enjoy videos. I'm also a big fan of Goria aka Kylie A and out of interest just went back to see what I downloaded of her from YLP. All I got of her was 4 solo sets in 2000px, they may have been available in 4000px but I can't remember and tend to opt for full sets in 2000 to save on disk space. I later found 2 of those sets on The Life Erotic where she is named Elise so they are certainly by no means exclusive to YLP.
Like you I have little interest in videos, or boy girl and lesbian action. They do have many hot models here but it is difficult to appreciate them when most of the photos have a maximum size of 1000px and I certainly don't see the point of those shitty screencap galleries, surely they have no use to photo or video lovers. I certainly hope the site continues to improve on the quality of the photographic side as promised by the webmaster here as that might tempt me back one day.

Absolutely no problem downloading when i was there and that was only 2 months ago, although i can't speak for the rest of the network as i only had single site access to YLP. They had a couple of issues with download speed on a couple of occasions which made the site almost unusable but that only lasted the odd evening or two.

Lol...yes i agree very suspicious looking. I think the attention the site has been getting has a lot to do with the newly offered discount at PU/TBP, for me it's one of those borderline sites that i probably wouldn't have joined without the incentive of the discount to lure me in.

| Pros: |
TBP/PU discount price of $19.99 makes the site excellent value
Billing by CCBill with no regional pricing.
Daily updates usually alternating between a photo shoot and video
Mostly exclusive content
Most recent photo sets have 3 size options, 1000, 2000 and 4000px
Zip downloads in each size
No watermark/site name on recent photos
Videos usually have a choice of 720p wmv or 720p, 480p and 360p mp4. A few of the latest videos also go up to 1080p full hd.
Videos can also be streamed in 3 resolutions and they also have them split into 1 minute long clips for streaming or download which is useful if you want to preview part of the video before deciding if you want to download it.
Run times and file sizes all displayed
It’s nice to see a site that actually takes the trouble to give the zips and video downloads proper file names matching the name of the scene and now also has the model name included since rearadmiral mentioned it in his recent review.
Responsive webmaster. |
| Cons: |
Upgrading your membership to include the All Sites Access from within the member’s area is expensive at $69 so if you think you might want network access better to pay the extra $10 upfront (see my previous comment and webmaster explanation on this topic)
Download speeds were below average for me.
I found their photo browser awkward to use, i couldn’t move around the photos using my scroll bars or keyboard direction arrows, not sure if that was me doing something wrong
Much of the photo content only has a maximum resolution of 1000px
The oldest videos don’t have the HD option as you’d expect on any site that’s been around a number of years
Nothing much in the way of model info or bios, name and age is about all you get.
Some video files seem unnecessarily large e.g. a video of Beata I downloaded had a bitrate of 33,000 kbps and came in at a whopping 911 MB for an 11 minute video |
| Bottom Line: |
Being a fan of softcore glamour/nude art style photography based sites such as Met, MPL, and W4B it was with some trepidation that I signed up here not really knowing if they had the kind of content that would be to my taste but I was tempted in by the collection of stunning fresh looking young models in the tour. There’s little information on the models in the site apart from a name and age but I’m assuming most of them would be Russian or Eastern European. Most of them have their ages listed as 18 or 19 and to be fair most of them do look teen to early 20s and the site does pretty much stick to the young theme throughout in the way of clothing and scenarios.
Although the site has been around several years with content dating back to 2006 online it’s only really in the last 12 to 18 months that they have been taking the addition of high resolution photo shoots to the site seriously so from my point of view they have some way to go to catch up with my favourite photography sites. I did find plenty of models and photo shoots that I liked but about two thirds of what I downloaded only had a resolution of 1000 x 665 with the rest a mixture of 1500, 2000 or 4000px on the long side. There is a mention on the site that they have plans to increase the photo resolution to 6000px but I’ve not seen any in that size yet.
I found the layout and presentation of the site really nice here. When browsing the model index the models had nice big preview pictures and when browsing the photo galleries the thumbnail previews were a good size and also included a slide control to increase or decrease the thumb size which was a cool feature I’ve not seen before. Each photo set and video also comes with a selection of clickable tags to allow you to easily find similar type content, e.g. solo, striptease, lesbian, hardcore, anal, cum in mouth etc.
If it’s videos you’re after I don’t see how this site can fail to impress, well as long as you’re not looking for busty milfs that is. You can find these hot young models in most types of action including solo, masturbation, toys, lesbian, hardcore B/G, threesomes with niches such as anal, peeing and fisting covered. I’m not hugely into videos but from what I’ve seen the quality throughout the site is pretty decent overall. You’ll need a lot of disk space to save these HD files as they can often be up to 2 GB in size. The only slight downside to these large files is that I found the download speed below average and on a couple of occasions so slow that the site was virtually unusable although it appears that may have been a temporary problem.
Overall a highly recommended site if you’re into the “teen” niche and one I’ll probably come back to again in the future if they keep on growing the amount and quality of the photo sets. |

I don't know if some people are getting the wrong end of the stick about what the comment was about. I signed up for the site through TBP/PU discount link without a problem but i only went for the single site access to Young Legal Porn for $19.99. Once inside the members area you have the option to upgrade the subscription to add the rest of the network sites, that's where i was being asked for $69...not via TBP/PU link.
