I was merely trying to make a comment (and joke) that a few models barely seem to age over a period of 5 years or more. Most models do age quite noticeably once they are no longer teenagers.
But your explanation of a photographer shooting multiple sets of a particular model and then those sets being posted over a long period of time seems reasonable.
Occasionally I will find a new set of a model I like, and realize it was photographed years ago, because the model appears so much like she did when she was just starting out. The posting date of the set might be recent, but the set was photographed much earlier. That is different from when a site re-dates a set because they are trying to show they are posting new content, which is a lie.
When sites give a content date, that should normally mean the date the content was first posted at that site.
But even here, it's not always simple. Because some sites, when they give an updated version of some content, because it's in higher resolution or some other form of improved version, will re-date that content to the date it's currently posted.
I feel like a dog chasing its own tail.
I admire your way with words. Clear and to the point.
I've been watching the model named Eufrat, also known as Becki, Euphrates, Jana Hall, Jana P., Jana Potysova, Janette, Juliette, Lenka, Marina, Monique, Patty Glower, Ragan, Tricia, Jana Potyšová.
She's been modelling at least seven years.
You compare her earliest sets to her more recent ones, and you begin to realize she's not aging like a natural human should.
Are Met-art and other porn sites saving money by using robots or androids, instead of giving us the real deal?
I'm not currently a member. But I have been a member many times in the past. I agree with almost everything you wrote. The only thing I differ is that you found videos that were erotic. Maybe I just got tired looking, but almost all the metart videos that I have seen are boring, in spite of how lovely or attractive the models are.
But then again, maybe eroticism, like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder. And that might explain why videos I find boring might be attractive to others.
Sorry about that. The Metart server must have a program which captures the location of your computer, and a program that then controls the prices you see.
The link I gave gives me a price of $24.99, but I am in the U.S.
Can PU get a discount on the monthly Metart price?
PU used to have a discounted monthly price for Metart. But the current price through PU is $29.97 (recurring).
I've found a link that gives a monthly price of $24.99 (recurring).
And there might be other prices even more discounted.
But can't PU at least use the $24.99 link for PU members?
Follow-Up - 04-19-12:
Thanks for closing this out. Like we talked about on icq, thanks too for pulling the link. I will keep you updated on the status of a new discount with these guys. THanks again!
What you say convinces me, once again, that beauty (or sex appeal) is in the eye of the beholder. I downloaded the farm girl photo set of Barbara at Errotica and then deleted it after viewing, because I just didn't like it.
I'm trying to be a little picky. Because even though Hard Drive storage is so cheap, I'm filling up these external hard drives with photo sets and videos I will probably never look at twice.
PU/TBP price for Metart does not reflect the PU/TBP discount.
With a PU/TBP link, you still get the great $19.99/month (recurring) rate.
I saw the PU/TBP rate listed as $39.99/month (recurring), and it was like a kick in the head. Metart is probably my favorite site, and I thought that one of the great bargains in the porn world had disappeared.
Metart has a relatively new search feature that I just noticed.
This search is available to members and non-members alike.
Go to
http://guests.met-art.com/models/top/
At the top of this page there is a search thingy. Type in the name of the model you want to search for, and it returns:
1) a thumbnail of the model so you can see what she looks like.
2) the model's bio data:
current age, breast size, eye color, hair color, country, etc.
3) the sets the model has: date of set, photographer, set title, thumbnail of the cover photo, and a hot link to the set.
This is a really great feature, and it makes it so much easier for someone who wants to search for a particular model's sets, and it helps to catalog the sets for each model.
I really liked Barbara Ds first photoset, but I found her other photosets to be much less appealing. It continually amazes me how a single model can look extremely attractive in one photoset, and so much less so in other photosets. You might expect this variation due to different photographers shooting the same model. But even the same photographer can make a model have a large difference in how attractively she is presented.
Anyhow, I agree that the new naming convention at Metart is more descriptive. But like Drooler states, the older system was far easier to use, in the sense the identifying section, e.g. SRT_141, was easy to list and keep track of. I am still trying to figure out how to keep a record of these long file names for a photoset.
If you were able to download the entire contents of Met-art in one month, you must have an extremely fast Internet connection, as well as a huge amount of hard drive storage.
What program did you use to download all that content? I'm guessing you needed a program to automatically download the entire contents of a site, because to manually download the individual files (photosets and videos) would take a huge amount of time and patience.
Nubiles has a mix of softcore and hardcore, photosets and videos. If you're not into hardcore, then the value of Nubiles is sharply reduced, and a $200 yearly membership would be truly expensive, and not worth it.
Metart has a huge amount of softcore photosets. No hardcore at Metart. I think it's the best softcore site out there, and when you consider the low membership price ($20/month, or $99/year), it's truly a bargain. Metart also has the biggest daily update rate of any photosite I know of.
Metart has a large number of softcore videos (but still smaller than the huge number of softcore photosets). But the videos, in spite of the lovely models, are almost uniformly boring. A wasted opportunity of filming these gorgeous creatures. I don't know anyone who likes the videos.
I find many of the photosets to be lovely, erotic, fine photography. If you are into softcore photos, I definitely think Metart is worth a 1-month membership, if only to see what the site has to offer. No one can look through the entire site contents in one month, because the site contents are so huge: number of models, number of photosets.
Metart is my favorite site. It's not to everyone's taste, but it hits the spot for me. Many of my favorite models have one or more lovely photosets at Metart.
Regional pricing can be a real pain. There's a lot in life that makes you realize some people love to take advantage of others. It's how they get ahead. Or get their jollies. "Fuck you, buddy, 'cause I'm King of the Road" kind of thinking.
The price for a 1-year membership to nubiles is $199.00 (recurring). So from that standpoint, if you're willing to pay the $199 for nubiles, this offer will include the metart site as well.
But I agree that it's a disappointing offer. It would have been nice to get both sites for $99.00 for one year. That would have been much better.
I said the same thing, basically, that I liked the old home page better, because it was easier for me to use, and more useful, because I really liked the simplicity of a large number of the most recent updates with a thumbnail that, with simple click, brought up a full-page version of the cover sheet.
But the new home page design is a better advertisement for newbies and casual browsers, in that it shows more of what the site offers.
I've said it before, but Met-art is my favorite porn site. They have an incredible number of attractive models, an incredible amount of good-to-great looking photosets, and the site is, in spite of massive content, easy to use and easy to navigate. They also have an update rate of photosets and new models that is incredible.
If they wanted to improve the site, I think they should stop making/posting new videos, and spend the money on even more photosets. Because I can't remember if I ever saw more than a tiny number of videos I liked at this site. All the time and effort and money put into videos that I think are boring.
But the number of photosets they post, on a daily basis, blows away any other photo site I've ever joined.
Met-art has re-designed the updates page. Met-art is constantly tinkering with the site design to improve the Met-art experience, to make the site easier to use.
The old update page was basically a listing of the most recent updates (photosets and videos) with a nice-sized thumbnail of each cover sheet. By clicking on any thumbnail, you would get a full-sized page of that cover sheet.
In the new update page design, you get a reduced number of update thumbnails. The updates are now sorted into a photoset grouping, and a video grouping. Before, the photosets and videos were lumped together, and sorted by date (most recent to oldest). By clicking on a thumbnail for the cover of a photoset, instead of getting a larger, full-page version, you now get 14 tiny thumbnails of photos within that set.
New to the updates page is a section of thumbnails that shows the Live Met Cams models.
Also new to the updates page is a listing, with thumbnails, of the top rated Metart models.
Personally, I liked the old design better, it was simpler, and showed a larger amount of the most recent updates.
But for someone who is just browsing, and is new to this site, the new design does a better job of showcasing the huge content that Metart offers with a membership.
All of this information was available before, but the new design places more information on the primary updates page.
And the technical expertise of the site design is impressive. The thumbnail links work easily. You click on a thumbnail of a model in the highest rated section, and it brings up a listing (thumbnails) of that model's photosets and videos.
I think the site design and ease of use at Metart is among the best of the glamor photo sites.
But the best thing about Metart is the huge number of lovely models, which keeps increasing almost every day. There are a huge number of photosets which do a good job of displaying those adorable girls.
Something is obviously very wrong. I gave MetArt the highest score I ever gave any site in my review. And all of my comments on the site were extremely positive.
Thanks for the confirmation, Sevrin, and also for the added information. I tried to show in an updated edit on my original comment that the met-art update page has been corrected, which is what I found on a later check of the page. The photosets that I checked now have the correct posting dates.
I use the updates page the same way you do, to see if there are any fresh photosets that I might be interested in.
I think Met-art is a very well-run site, that has very few technical glitches. And over time, as you indicate, they are working to improve the site even more.
As you can probably tell, met-art is one of my favorite sites. :)
Perhaps I need to clear my browser cache. But what I am seeing is still the mis-sorted/mis-dated thumbnail page. The page itself looks fine, as long as you don't care when the photosets were actually posted. But I usually like to check the daily updates, to see if there are any photosets I might be interested in.
And the page I am looking at has the wrong dates listed for the most recent photosets.
For example:
07.21.2010 MILENA D "GOODNIGHT"
07.21.2010 LORENA B "GRACIOUS"
are the dates listed for the two photosets above, which were supposedly posted today, July 21, 2010.
But those photosets were actually posted:
July 15, 2010 MILENA D "GOODNIGHT"
July 04, 2010 LORENA B "GRACIOUS"
Those are just a few of the photosets that are being posted with the wrong date.
If you use the Internet, you can find the actual date each photoset
was originally posted.
But it's not a major problem. I believe Met-art will fix it sometime soon.
But if your computer shows the correct dates for the two photosets I listed, then the problem is with my computer, which is still showing incorrect dates for many of the recent photosets.
If you are seeing the correct dates for the two photosets I listed, I would appreciate your stating this.
Or if you are seeing the incorrect dates for the two photosets I listed, I would appreciate your stating this.
Because I am interested to know if I am seeing the current update page, or if I am seeing an older update page, and need to clear my browser cache, or try some other fix.
First time I've noticed the met-art updates page being really messed up. The thumbnails for the most recent updates are out of order, with wrong listing dates for when the photosets/videos were posted. I assume the mix-up will be fixed soon.
Edit01: For what it's worth, the met-art updates page has now been fixed. I didn't have to clear my browser cache to get the corrected page of updates, so the problem was definitely on the met-art site, and not from my PC. :)
