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.
X-Art has a new feature I just noticed. Live cams. I don't think it's a service that X-Art itself created. It's more like a link to a live cam feed that X-Art links to. So X-Art members can watch live cams, for free for the public chats, or by paying a fee to enter the private chats. Just like a lot of the adult sites seem to be doing.
I remember the old days when Met-Art had their live cam shows. But that was different, in that Met-Art itself created the live cam shows, and allowed members to watch the shows the girls put on for free (public chats), or by paying a fee to watch the private chats. The Met-Art cams were special, because the girls were regulars, and the shows they put on, which were mainly not that explicit, were really audience friendly, and the girls often developed a rapport with the audience members. It was more like a club than the live cams that are offered today.
Many of the live cams today, although supposedly free, are basically designed to cost the members money. The old Met-Art live cams were less designed to cost the members money. You could enjoy the girls shows for many hours each day for free.
Unfortunately, Met-Art dropped that service many years ago. They did offer a link to a live cam service afterwards, but that service was more like the ones that are currently being offered, which are designed to make money off the members, instead of being truly free.
I didn't even realize there was no search, until I found a listing for a photoshoot of a model that was at that site. And now I can't find that photoshoot. So I don't know if the photoshoot is hidden somewhere on the site, or if it was deleted.
From a reply by the webmaster of this site, at the time he wrote the reply, it seemed that all past material was still available at this site.
The site design is clean, making it easy to look over the material under each model.
But there is no search function, where you can enter a model's name in a blank box, and search for her content. Or to see if there is any content under that name.
Also, the videos at the site can be grouped for a manual search through the videos.
But you can't group the photosets for a manual search. And that seems like an oversight that should be fixed.
Arty style is sometimes more a matter of production value instead of actual content.
I've seen videos and photosets posted on the Teen Mega World network that were later posted on the Diesel network. The same videos and photosets. But at the Diesel network, the videos and photosets were much more appealing because of better lighting, more vivid colors, and maybe other factors.
I mentioned in my site review that the videos would be better without the music.
I believe a few porn models are able to transition to fashion modelling, but it's pretty rare.
The Teen Mega World network has a boy-girl-girl site, firstbgg. It only has 25 videos, and is no longer updating. And the videos are presented at a slightly lower quality than at Diesel or X-art.
But if you belong to the Teen Mega World network, which has a ton of hardcore teen videos, their boy-girl-girl site is worth checking out.
Glad you like it so far.
For soft hardcore, or erotic porn. I think it's one of the better sites available.
And many of the models are drop-dead gorgeous.
Excellent review. Lots of actual details and opinions about the site. Clearly shows how the value of a site's contents depends on each person's personal preferences; yet also tries to give a balanced overview of the site.
I think X-Art is a great site. And $9.95 for the first month is a great offer.
But people have different tastes. And not everyone will like this site. This site is softcore erotic (hardcore in sex, but a softcore, sensual style). Very high quality in vids and pix.
But if you want gonzo sex, you won't find it here.
Maybe I should add that not everyone likes their photos. Some respected PU members did not think their photos were high quality. But I do.

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.
slutty, I'm not sure how much those hugs and kisses are worth.
The reply is from brig, who lists himself as Webmaster. Brig stands for Brigham Field, the main photographer for X-Art photosets and videos.
But the reply also is signed "X-Art Webmistress", but without any name attached to the webmistress title.
It's not clear to me who was giving me those XOXOs.
However, I am willing to share them with you, my PU friend. :)
Anyway, I'm in the same boat as you, in getting logged out when I try to access the "Behind the Scenes" content. But I definitely think it's worth viewing, to get a flavor of the personality of some models, and how the photosets and videos are shot.

I log out, and re-log in to the site, and try to download again. If I get the page popping up asking for my username and password and saying the link may not be secure, I try again.
The page that asks for my username and password also states the page link may not be secure.
It's not a separate page or popup that says the link may not be secure. It's the same page that is asking for the username and password--that also states the page link may not be secure.
Like I wrote, this is the first time I've ever encountered this. So I think it would be a mistake to enter my username and password on a page that tells me the link may not be secure.
But this is a paysite. So it's not like a bank. If it were a bank, I'd be calling them on the phone, and asking what the problem was.
