Excellent review.
Almost poetry
The review reminds me of Kubla Khan by Samuel Coleridge, that I haven't read in over 50 years, it's just the feeling that is more important than the facts.
Weird, but in a good way.
"I'm going to give a more unique point of view from the site."
I think you nailed it. Impressive.
MetArt sites normally give excellent service, so when you have a problem, it can be irritating.
However, their customer service is excellent: fast responses, and usually helpful.
So problem solved: except you don't expect problems with these sites.
As I get older, I have less patience. But that's just me.
MetArt is getting tricky.
They asked for a new username and password, because I have multiple accounts with them, and different login details.
I entered a new username name and password.
Then tried to login to the main MetArt site.
I then got a page telling me my MetArt account has expired.
Since I have 3 lifetime memberships to 3 of their sites, plus a monthly membership that I've had for several years, plus a more recent monthly membership that is still supposed to be active since I paid for it, I'm guessing that MetArt customer support will give me back my memberships that I paid for.
But if it wasn't so irritating, I'd be laughing.
At how messed up computers can be.
Update:
Problem fixed. MetArt customer service fixed my login problems in less than an hour, and sent me an email with my new login details.
One of the finest and fastest customer support teams for any porn site.
Thanks, MetArt.

Pros:
-In my opinion, the finest softcore glamour site on the internet.
-The site is best of breed. For softcore teen photos. No other site comes close in terms of number of sets, frequency of updates. MPL Studios and Femjoy and some other sites are great, but MetArt is number one.
-Currently, MetArt has a PU discount of $9.99 for the first month, recurring at $19.99/month.
This is one of the lowest prices I seen for MetArt at $9.99 for the first month.
-The largest catalog of softcore glamour photo sets on the Internet. See bottom line for the current statistics.
-A large number of contributing photographers. So you get a variety of approaches. Not all sets will appeal to any one person, but if you are into softcore teen photos, this site should have plenty of content that will satisfy your needs.
I paid for a lifetime membership several years back, because I was tired of paying for monthly and yearly memberships. It was the first porn site I paid for a lifetime membership.
Cons:
PROS (CONTINUED):
-A large catalog of models: some of the cutest or most attractive teens on the planet.
However, you can also find a huge number of attractive teens at competing sites such as MPL Studios or Femjoy or other glamour style sites.
-Secure login and member pages: https.
-Customer service is 24/7. One of the finest customer services of any porn site I've ever dealt with.
The reps are friendly and helpful.
CONS -The cons are stricly minor.
-The sheer size of the site: it's the largest softcore teen site on the internet. You stare at thousands of photos of gorgeous girls, and your brain starts to shut down. You can't appreciate how lovely these girls are. It's human nature, or human psychology.
-Site is strictly for soft, softcore teen. No hardcore action.
-Almost all models are white. Very little variation in race, or age. Most models start at around 18, and some can continue shooting into the late 20s. But no older models in upper 30s or above.
Bottom Line:
CONS (continued):
-Pre-checked cross-sale on join page. But this is standard for porn sites.
-The MetArt network used to have a system where if you were a member of one of their sites, you had access to membership plans to join most of the other sites for a discounted price of around $10/month. But they dropped that system years ago.
-MetArt used to have a live cam show offering where some MetArt models or other models would put on free shows. The models also offered private shows, but the free shows lasted 30 minutes or more, and the girls were friendly. There wasn't a lot of nudity in those shows, but it gave you a chance to interact with the models. They dropped that system many years ago, and went with a more commercial type cam show, where the performers and the sytem itself encourages the viewer to pay: These shows, both public and private, can become very expensive. It can be cheaper to go to a strip club and watch the strippers versus watching the modern live cam show.
BOTTOM LINE (start of):
On 2017-01-25, the stats are as follows:
Models: 3,285
Galleries: 16,678
Videos: 1,362
Contributing photographers: 272
On 2018-10-30, the stats are as follows:
Models: 3,548
Galleries: 19,089
Videos: 1,544
Contributing photographers: 283
Models are 18-30 years old.
Mostly Eastern European.
Most of the models start out at around 18, but many continue to be shot at MetArt for years, so you have some models that started at 18 that are still shooting at 30.
Some models have over 50 sets at MetArt.
Galleries: 19,089
Galleries include indoor and outoor locations.
The technical quality of the galleries is usually outstanding.
Videos: 1,544
Most videos are a waste of time.
You have beautiful girls, getting naked, and the Wow factor is zero: almost all videos are boring.
A lot of time and money are spent making these videos: I don't know how photo sets of a model can be erotic or beautiful, while a video of the same model is almost always boring, but MetArt has perfected the Art of Making Boring Videos of beautiful naked women.
I have found a few videos that were slightly interesting: Must have been a mistake on MetArt's part, because I've stopped watching their videos.
Also, the background music on these videos is often jarring.
If you're going to watch a video, I recommend turning off the sound.
Contributing photographers: 283
Instead of one or a few photographers contributing to the site, you have access to almost 300 professional photographers of erotic beauty.
I'm giving the site a score of 95.
The site is for soft, softcore teen porn fanatics.
As such, it's such a fantasic site, for a low price, that it deserves a score of 95 or even higher.
Not all sets or photographic styles will appeal to everyone, but you have access to:
-A huge backlog of galleries of teen models.
-A huge number of attractive models: Some of the most beautiful models in the world.
-A huge number of daily updates: 4 updates daily, except the first day of the month is 6 updates.
-A very low membership price: PU discounted membership is $19.99/recurring monthly. There is currently a PU discounted price of $9.99 for the first month.
If you do a google search, you can sometimes find a discounted price under $10.00 for the first month.
One problem with such a large mega-site: you become bored with physical beauty. You have such a catalog of beutiful girls, thousands of galleries, that you just don't appreciate what you have.
That's human nature.
Except some of the models are freaking hot; other models are freaking cute.
Unless you are dead inside, there should be plenty of sets that will appeal to you.
But if you want hardcore, MetArt is strictly soft, softcore.
In my opinion, MetArt is the finest softcore site on the internet.
It deserves a score in the high 90s.
The only major flaw are the boring videos. But I've never found a good site for softcore videos.
I CAN'T LOGIN TO METART.COM.
I'VE TRIED FOR OVER 40 MINUTES, AND KEEP GETTING A FATAL ERROR MESSAGE OR A 504 GATEWAY TIMEOUT MESSAGE.
A TEMPORARY PROBLEM WITH THE METART SERVERS?
HOPE THEY FIX THE PROBLEM SOON.
UPDATE: TRIED LOGGING IN TO METART OVER 6 HOURS LATER.
STILL UNABLE TO LOG IN TO THE SITE.
NOW GETTING THE ERROR MESSAGE: "Firefox can’t establish a connection to the server at members.metart.com."
ANYONE ELSE HAVE THIS PROBLEM?
I'M SURE I'M NOT THE ONLY METART MEMBER AT PU.
UPDATE: 7:17 PST. 2017-11-30.
I AM NOW ABLE TO LOG IN TO THE SITE, AND VIEW THE PHOTOSETS.
SO THIS WAS MERELY A TEMP PROBLEM.
ANNOYING, BUT TRIVIAL.
BUT THE LOGIN PROBLEM LASTED ABOUT 7 HOURS.
UPDATE: 7.32AM PST. 2017-11-30.
---------------------
I DON'T KNOW WHAT PROBLEMS THE METART SERVERS ARE HAVING.
BUT I NOTICED THAT THE COMMENTS FOR A RECENT PHOTOSET WERE DELETED.
THE DEBUT PHOTOSET: PRESENTING JERRICKA BY PARAMOV.
POSTED 2017-11-29.
HAS THE MEMBER COMMENTS ON THE PHOTOSET DELETED.
SIGN OF THE TIMES: DID A HACKER OR GREMLIN GAIN ACCESS TO THE METART SERVERS, OR ARE THE TECH SECTION PLAYING GAMES, OR WHAT?
---------------------
UPDATE: 8.28AM 2017-11-30
THE COMMENTS HAVE BEEN RESTORED TO THE JERRICKA PHOTOSET.
TECH TEAM UPDATING SITE?
HIRE BETTER TECH TEAM PROGRAMMERS TO KEEP THE SITE/NETWORK RUNNING SMOOTHLY.
OR MAYBE I SHOULDN'T PAY ATTENTION TO THESE MINOR GLITCHES.
WHATEVER.
JOIN METART FOR $9.99 FOR THE FIRST MONTH.
REBILLS AT $19.99/MONTH. METART, ONE OF THE FINEST SOFTCORE PHOTO SITES ON THE NET, FOR LESS THAN $10 FOR 1 MONTH.
GREAT DEAL, FOR FANS OF SOFTCORE PORN.
I WOULD SENT AN EMAIL TO SelenaMetArt, SHE IS THE WEB MISTRESS.
SHE OFTEN FOLLOWS THE REVIEWS AND COMMENTS ON METART AT PU.
SHE HAS ALWAYS BEEN HELPFUL AND CONSIDERATE IN THE PAST.
I'VE GOTTEN SEVERAL OFFERS FROM HER FOR EXTENDED DAYS ON MY METART SITES MEMBERSHIPS, BUT I NEVER TOOK HER UP ON THEM.
I WOULD BE VERY SUPRISED IF SHE DIDN'T AUTOMATICALLY OFFER TO CANCEL THE CHARGES FOR THE SEXART CROSS-SALE. METART USED TO BE THE GOLD STANDARD OF CUSTOMER SERVICE, AND ALSO FOR EXCELLENT SITE SUPPORT.
THEY'VE HAD SOME TECHNICAL ISSUES LATELY.
BUT IT WOULD BE A BLACK MARK IF THEY CHARGED YOU ON A CROSS-SALE THAT YOU DIDN'T SEE.
THEY USED TO BE ABOVE THAT.
METART IS ONE OF THE FINEST SOFTCORE SITES ON THE NET.
BUT LATELY, THEY HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING SERVER PROBLEMS.
THIS IS UNUSUAL. BECAUSE I'VE BEEN A MEMBER OF METART (AND MANY OF ITS SISTER SITES) FOR YEARS, AND METART ALWAYS GAVE GREAT SERVICE WITH ALMOST NO PROBLEMS.
THE CURRENT SERVER PROBLEM IS THAT THE THUMBNAILS OF A PHOTO SET DO NOT LOAD ON YOUR COMPUTER MONITOR.
YOU CAN GET AROUND THIS BY DOWNLOADING THE SET, AND USING A COMPUTER PROGRAM TO PLAY A SLIDESHOW, OR TO EXAMINE INDIVIDUAL PHOTOS.
SO IT'S NO BIG DEAL.
EXCEPT I AM WONDERING WHY THE METART NETWORK HAS BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS LATELY.
IS IT SOMETHING WE SHOULD BE CONCERNED ABOUT?
OR MERELY A TEMPORARY GLITCH, THAT WILL SOON PASS--OR HAPPEN ONLY ONCE IN A WHILE?
AGAIN, I THINK METART IS A GREAT SITE: WONDERFUL SOFTCORE CONTENT, STRONG AND EASILY USED SITE STRUCTURE, FANTASTIC CUSTOMER SUPPORT.
BUT IT'S DISAPPOINTING THE SITE/NETWORK IS HAVING MINOR PROBLEMS.
THANKS FOR THE EXPLANATION, SELENA.
THE METART PROBLEMS CONTINUED FOR A WHILE.
EVEN AFTER I WAS ABLE TO LOG IN TO THE SITE, IT WAS DIFFICULT TO LOAD PHOTOS FROM A GALLERY ONTO MY COMPUTER MONITOR.
OR TO DOWNLOAD A ZIPPED FILE OF THE GALLERY.
BUT LIKE YOU SAID, METART HAS USUALLY BEEN A SUPERIOR EXPERIENCE, AND I HOPE THE PROBLEMS WILL SOON BE FIXED.
I TRY TO LOG IN TO THE METART SITE, AND I GET THE ERROR MESSAGE:
503 Service Unavailable
No server is available to handle this request.
I'VE TRIED OFF AND ON FOR A COUPLE OF HOURS.
IS THIS SOME CYBER ATTACK, SITE UPDATING, OR WHAT?
WHATEVER THE REASON, IT'S FRUSTRATING. AND SURPRISING, BECAUSE METART USUALLY DOES NOT HAVE PROBLEMS.
Current Member for over 1 year (at the time of review).
Pros:
-PU discount of $19.99/month (recurring).
Occasionally a cheaper discount will pop up if you search the internet.
-Tremendous backlog of softcore galleries.
-Many of the most beautiful models in softcore porn appear at this site.
-Zips for all galleries. Choice of definition of low, medium, high for zips.
-Huge number of professional contributing photographers.
-Although this is a huge site, the search engine is helpful: can search by model's name, title of the photoset,
photographer, model's attributes (Hair color, Eye color, Ethnicity, Breast size, Age, Weight, Height, Country, etc.).
-Get 4 updates per day (except for the first of each month, when you get 6 updates).
Cons:
-The cons are basically minor. This is the largest, finest softcore photo collection of models on the internet.
-In spite of shooting attractive models for the video, the videos are mainly boring. The last couple of years, some effort has been put into making the videos more erotic: the models are now allowed to touch themselves in a softcore manner. However, not only are the older videos boring, but most of the newer videos are boring as well. It's hard as hell to make an interesting or erotic softcore video.
-Member's can comment on each gallery or video. However, the members seem to form a fan club, where each model is described as wonderful or amazing in looks.
-If you post a comment that a model appears at a competing paysite, that comment will be deleted. MetArt should have enough confidence in their appeal and worth that useful comments about the model's appearances at competing paysites should be allowed.
-Lack of diversity in the models.
Bottom Line:
On 2017-01-25, the stats are as follows:
Models: 3,285
Contributing photographers: 272
Galleries: 16,678
Videos: 1,362
MetArt came online in 1998. It's original title was Most Erotic Teens. It featured softcore of young teens.
(So "Met" came from M for Most, e from Erotic, t from Teens.)
(And "Art, because this is supposed to be erotic art.)
MetArt started off as softcore erotic photography, and has not changed drastically since its beginnings.
Currently the models are now allowed to touch themselves, to add a larger element of eroticism. But MetArt is still one of the softer softcore sites on the internet.
MetArt in recent years has added a network of other porn sites: It currently has about 15 porn sites. MetArt is the largest of the sites, in terms of content.
The basic appeal of the site is the backlog of attractive young women (mainly teens, at least when they were first photographed). The models are featured in galleries and videos. The videos are mainly boring, a waste of MetArt's time and money. But many of the photosets are outstanding. The models are not only attractive to beautiful, but they are photographed by a wide range of professional photographers. The settings are indoor, outdoor, with money spent on the photoshoots and videos.
Many of the photoshoots could be hung in an art gallery or museum.
A minor problem: The site could be too softcore for some PU members tastes. This is softcore only. No sex (except possibly two girls in a photoshoot who are touching each other, but not in a hardcore way). No man in a photoshoot with the girl, or in a video with the girl.
Another minor problem: Many of the photos in a gallery are similar to each other. I remember back in the days of Playboy and Penthouse (in the 1960s and 1970s and 1980s), when the magazines featured a model with 12 photographs or less. But the individual photos were separate from each other, often in a different location, different costume, something to differentiate each photo from the others.
The MetArt galleries show a model in one photo, she moves her arm slightly, and that's a different photo, she moves her leg slightly, and that's a different photo...so you get a gallery of 90 - 120 photos where the girl is snapped moving into different positions on a bed or room, and most of the photos are almost duplicates of each other.
If the girl has truly outstanding beauty, you can focus on the girl. Otherwise, the gallery gets boring fast.
Unless mere onscreen nudity is enough to turn you on. Which I believe most PU members have gone beyond.
One problem with MetArt is the sheer size of the backlog: You have so many beautiful models, with a large number of outstanding photosets by professional photographers, that you become bored or less appreciative of physical beauty.
If MetArt had fewer galleries, with fewer models, I believe the members would appreciate it more.
That's my take, anyway. However, the MetArt members do seem to form a fanbase, where almost every model and gallery is described as outstanding, wonderful, fantastic, amazing. Personally, I don't believe every model is fantastic. There are models that could be described as plain. Or ordinary. And there are galleries that have serious defects. Except that you will find member comments describing those galleries as outstanding or wonderful.
In conclusion: I believe MetArt is the best softcore collection of nude teen photos on the internet.
Based on
-the amazing amount of galleries posted, since 1998.
-the quality of the models: most of the models are attractive to lovely.
-the quality of the photosets: the photosets are filmed by many of the world-class erotic photographers.
-the outstanding update rate: 4 updates per day, except for the first of each month, which has 6 updates.
-the outstanding level of customer service. The finest customer service of any site I've ever belonged to: fast, responsive, helpful in most cases.
-Excellent download speeds. I normally get 4-5 MB/s, which is close to my max download speed limit of 6.25 MB/s.
-Download zip file of a gallery is automatically named with Site name-Date posted-Gallery title-Model name-Photographer name-definition (high, medium, or low).
Giving the site a score of 94. The boring videos, the sameness of many photos in a gallery, and other quibbles take away from a perfect score of 100.
But if you are in a generous mood, you could say the site deserves a score of 99 or even 100.
ECHST SEEMS TO GET MORE COMPLAINTS THAN CCBILL OR EPOCH.
IF YOU DON'T HEAR FROM METART SUPPORT IN A COUPLE OF DAYS, I SUGGEST SENDING ANOTHER EMAIL TO THEIR SUPPORT, AND TELLING THEM ABOUT THE OVER-CHARGE FOR METART MEMBERSHIP.
IF YOU READ SOME OF THE COMPLAINTS ABOUT ECHST, PEOPLE COMPLAIN ABOUT POOR/RUDE CUSTOMER SERVICE, AS WELL AS FRAUDULENT CHARGES TO THEIR CREDIT CARDS.
PLEASE LET US KNOW WHAT HAPPENS. METART USED TO BE WONDERFUL WITH THEIR CUSTOMER SUPPORT. FAST AND RESPONSIVE AND CARING.
ECHST IS NOT A NEW BILLER COMPANY. BUT I'VE NEVER USED IT, EVEN THOUGH I'VE SIGNED UP WITH A LOT OF THE METART NETWORK SITES OVER THE YEARS.
SEVERAL YEARS AGO THEY USED TO OFFER $10/MONTH MEMBERSHIPS TO ANYONE WHO BELONGED TO ONE OF THEIR SITES.
BUT THEY STOPPED THAT DISCOUNT YEARS AGO.
I THOUGHT IT WAS A NICE BONUS FEATURE FOR BELONGING TO ONE OF THEIR SITES.
ONCE IN A WHILE, THEY WILL OFFER A NICE DISCOUNT TO ONE OF THEIR SITES.
I FOUND AN OFFER TO JOIN EROTIC BEAUTY FOR $1/MONTH A FEW YEARS AGO, AND JOINED.
SO I'M STILL PAYING $1/MONTH FOR EROTIC BEAUTY.
BUT I'VE NEVER FOUND ANY OTHER OFFER THAT WAS THAT GREAT.
P.S.: I'M TYPING IN CAPITAL LETTER BECAUSE IT'S EASIER FOR ME TO READ. I'M NOT TRYING TO SHOUT OR BEING RUDE. AS YOU GET OLDER, YOUR EYES DON'T SEE AS WELL.
BUT I STILL LIKE PRETTY PICTURES OF NAKED WOMEN. LOL.
I've never been a member of MetArtX, and don't plan on being one any time soon.
I've been a member of MetArt for many years, on the monthly, yearly and finally a lifetime subscription.
MetArtX is a newish site, and I would suspect that you would get a lot more content from one of the other sites in the MA network that features harder content than what MA features.
Actually, since you are a MA member already, I suggest you log in to the MA site itself.
Once you log in, I assume you will see the "free access" advertisement, that gives you access to one or more of the MA sites as a trial offer.
I am doing that right now, and I am being offered 2 free days to three sites:
MetArtX Viv Thomas
Love Hairy
So I assume you should have the same opportunity to explore MetArtX for free for 2 days.
If you don't see that offer when logging in, I suggest you send an email to MetArt support, asking if they will give you 2 free days to MetArtX to sample their wares.
I see no reason they would deny this request.
And maybe you can post your experience with MetArtX in a comment at PU: whether you liked what you found.
Open a browser window.
Paste into the address bar the following: metartx.com/
This brings up a metartx page for visitors.
The page has thumbnails of this week's videos and photo sets.
However, if you click on any of the thumbnails, instead of getting a short video or sample gallery, you are re-directed to the Metartx signup page.
My guess is that the visitor page is very elementary, and just has the introductory page with a few thumbnails, that leads to the join page.
Maybe in the future they will expand the visitor page with actual sample videos and sample galleries.
But unless one of the Metart staff lists the content statistics of Metartx in a reply on the comments section or blog, I don't know how you will determine what the contents of Metartx are.
And since the join prices of Metartx are very high, I think it will be expensive to join, without having a clear idea of what you are paying for.
MetArtX features models in masturbation photosets and videos. So it's a little harder than MetArt. But many of the models should be familiar from the MetArt site.
Since it's a new site, the membership fees should be smaller than a membership to one of MetArt's older sites which have larger content. But apparently they are charging the same - or more - than what you would pay with a PU discount for the older sites.
Excellent review.
I agree with almost everything you wrote.
Also, pleasantly surprised you gave Met-Art a score of 99.
Makes me feel that I am in good company. :)
I agree the old format is much easier and simpler to use.
Plus, it's the once I've been accustomed to.
Separately, the new format can mess up the intro page.
A few days ago, the new format page came up automatically, and everything was in tiny size. The thumbnails were tiny, the text size was tiny, and there were 2 black bars on the sides of the page that took up most of the page.
I sent an email to Met-Art support, asking how to get rid of the page and return to the old format.
Support emails me back, within a few hours, but their reply was not useful. They said they could not duplicate the effect that I was seeing for the Met-Art page.
I increased the size of the page using the VIEW-ZOOM option on my Firefox browser, and that allowed me to find the icon to return to the old format. (I couldn't read the page in the new format since everything was so tiny, except for the 2 black bars which were taking up most of the page.)
Anyway, I will use the old format as long as I can.

Pros:
-In my opinion, the best softcore photo site on the internet.
-Over 3,000 models. Many of the models are lovely to stunningly beautiful.
-A wide range of professional photographers contribute to this site.
-A huge backlog of photo sets. Site started in 1998, as MostEroticTeens.com (hence the name change to Met-Art.com).
-The site updates daily with 4 to 6 photo sets + videos per day. So not only a huge backlog of content, but a truly generous update rate as well. Most updates are photo sets.
-You get a small bio sheet on the models, that includes their age when shot, body measurements, and a brief note on what they like. Not much a bio sheet, but it makes the girls more real.
-No DRM. You download a photo set, it's yours to keep.
-Excellent download speeds. I get 5.5 or 5.6 MB/sec, which is extremely fast for me.
-Fast response from technical support. You get an an email within a few hours that shows a human actually read your problem email and is helping.
Cons:
PROS (CONTINUED):
-Site is basically easy to use. However, because of the huge number of models and photo sets, it can take months to search through the site to find everything you will like.
-There is an index of the models, with a large thumbnail of the model to show what she looks like.
-There is also an index of the contributing photographers. With the photo sets from each photographer.
-So you can search by the name of the model, or by the name of the photographer.
-You can comment on each photo set (or photographer). And there is an active community that discusses their likes and dislikes of the photo sets. Most comments are positive, but negative comments are allowed. And the contributing photographer sometimes responds.
-No download limits.
-CCBill is the billing agent-one of the best credit card processing agents on the Net.
-Allows the use of download managers. I use DownThemAll, a free download manager.
-The photosets are offered in three sizes for download and viewing.
Bottom Line:
PROS (CONTINUED):
-The photosets have separate zip files for low definition, medium definition, and high definition.
CONS
-The cons are basically minor. This is the best softcore erotic site on the Internet.
-Not strictly a con, but the site is softcore erotic. No hardcore porn. If you want hardcore, look elsewhere.
-The videos are boring. They have tried in recent years to make the videos more erotic. These are videos of attractive models that are naked, but the videos are disappointing, and mainly a waste of time and effort.
-Because of the huge amount of the photo sets, and the 3,000 plus number of models that are mainly attractive to stunningly lovely, it's a natural human reaction to become slightly bored with the site. Back in the day when Playboy and Penthouse were in their glory days, you only got those magazines once a month, so the impact of each issue was more potent. Because Met-Art has thousands of photo sets and thousands of lovely models, instead of appreciating how wonderful the
site is, you start to feel bored by the loveliness and attractiveness of the models and photo sets. That is human psychology. You want what you don't have, but once you get it, the value of what you have diminishes.
-Some people object that the photos don't meet the professional standards that they are seeking. Again, that is human nature. There will always be people who object or complain about any beautiful model or photo or object. The site features attractive to stunningly beautiful models that are photographed by professional photographers.
Obviously, not every photo set is a masterpiece, but you get access to a boatload of softcore photos of lovely women.
-Most models are 18 to early 20s. White, slender to medium build. You don't get a lot of variety in the models as far as age or race or build.
BOTTOM LINE:
MetArt is best site for softcore erotic photography on the Internet.
Based on a variety of factors:
1. Huge number of attractive models (over 3,000 models).
2. Huge number of photo sets (around 15,000 sets, which will take you many months to look through.
3. Over 1,000 videos, which you can use to put yourself to sleep through boredom. Maybe a few videos are truly erotic, but the erotic videos are few and far between).
4. Hundreds of contributing photographers. So you get access to a range of styles. But the overall approach is softcore erotic.
5. Site is easy to use. Can search by name of model, name of photographer, or by other attributes: hair color, age of model, eye color, ethnicity, etc.
6. A low price (with PU discount). $20/month, or $100/year.
There are other sites that are similar, that offer high grade photography and lovely models: MPL Studios and Femjoy are 2 of the closest competitors. But even though they are both Mega-sites (huge content of photo sets and large number of lovely models), Met-Art is the biggest site as far as number of photo sets and number of models.
I enjoy the photo sets at Met-Art and MPL Studios more than the photo sets at Femjoy. The Met-Art and MPL Studios photos seem fresher, the models look more attractive, than the models at Femjoy. Many of the Met-Art and MPL Studios models also
appear at Femjoy, but I normally prefer the Met-Art and MPL studios sets over the Femjoy sets.
Other people can and do appreciate the Femjoy style over the Met-Art style, and have stated so. So it's a matter of personal preference.
This is my third review of Met-Art. I gave it a score of 97 in my first review (which was also my first review for PU), a 99 in my second review (because the number of models and photo sets just keep increasing).
In this review I am giving Met-Art a score of 99.
I know many members feel that a score of 99 for any site is wrong. They believe that any site can be improved, and that a score of 99 ignores whatever faults a site may have.
But I believe that Met-Art is the best softcore site on the Internet. And that because of many
factors that I listed, it does deserve a score of 99. In spite of the boring videos.
I've read reports by some PU members that mention distortions in photos, and now I better understand what they were talking about. Because I always thought the photo quality was perfectly acceptable.
Using a smaller monitor, and almost never zooming in for fine details, explains the difference.
I agree that MetArt has tons of content and thousands of lovely models.
Maybe there is too much content, and the average viewer starts to get bored. A psychology thing.
Very few of the videos at MetArt are worth watching or saving.
That's my opinion, in spite of how lovely the models can be. The vidoes are boring, not erotic.
If you are seeking an erotic site where the models make an art of removing their clothing, you are better off looking elsewhere. Some photo sets or videos might start off with the girl wearing some article of clothing. But the majority of the photos feature fully nude models.
Metart is supposed to be Most Erotic Teens, and it's mainly stayed true to that approach. There is very little stripping. It's mostly an appreciation of the bodies of young females. Most of the models are attractive to lovely. The photographers are professional, among the best in the business.
A few members of PU have expressed a wish for an erotic strip tease site. But that niche seems lost in today's market.
Excellent review. I basically agree with everything you wrote. Except possibly I don't find the cross-selling very annoying, compared to what many other paysites do.
Obviously, I would like to get their entire network for free, after joining any one of the network sites, but we can't have everything.
I think that Metart is the best value in the network.
I even paid for a lifetime membership to Metart. I only wish I had done that from the start, because it would have saved me the monthly and annual memberships to Metart that I have paid for. Except that I think for many years while I was a member, they didn't offer a lifetime membership.
