As I get older, I lose patience.
So the easiest way for me to write and edit text is to use Notepad, and to write in caps.
I know that some people dislike reading posts that are made in cap letters, and there are work-arounds to using cap letters. But like I said, the easiest method is for me to use Notepad and cap letters.
And my eyes are getting poor. No need to go into particulars, but the older you get (I'm past 70), the more your body breaks down.
As far as glam as a descriptive, I'm not writing as an "expert" witness, so I feel free to write loosely. Especially for a site like PU, where some of the reviews are really poor, and yet they are accepted by the PU staff.
If any of my reviews have merit, fine.
If not, not so fine.
But I hope I'm contributing at least something to the site, with my reviews.
By the way, if you are ever a member of The White Boxxx, either through a direct membership or through letsdoeit.com, then I recommend watching the video titled "Her first threesome" with Lena Reif.
That one video is worth the price of admission to the site.
Lena looks gorgeous, and the action is like a super-glam video: where the emphasis is on visuals. The video itself is not the hottest I've ever seen, but the visuals are gorgeous, and this is what Penthouse and Playboy should have been producing back in the 1970s and 1980s, and it might have saved those empires from crumbling.

Pros:
NOTE: I'M WRITING IN CAPS, BECAUSE MY EYES ARE POOR. NOT TRYING TO BE RUDE OR SHOUTING, BUT IT'S EASIER FOR ME TO SEE (AND EDIT) RATHER THAN SQUINTING TO SEE TINY LETTERS.
ANYONE WHO IS REALLY ANNOYED BY CAP LETTERS CAN SKIP THIS REVIEW, AND WHATEVER OTHER POSTS I MAKE.
ALSO: I WROTE AN EARLIER REVIEW A LITTLE OVER A YEAR AGO ABOUT THE SEX ART SITE.
I THINK THAT REVIEW WAS EVEN BETTER THAN THIS ONE. MORE PROFESSIONAL. GIVES A BETTER OVER-VIEW OF THE SITE. BUT BOTH REVIEWS ARE ACCEPTABLE, IN TERMS OF GIVING A FLAVOR OF THE SITE, I HOPE.
PROS:
-SEX ART IS PART OF THE MET ART SITES. SO YOU CAN EXPECT A QUALITY EXPERIENCE:
-SEX ART IS A GLAMOUR SITE. THE MODELS (MANY OF WHICH ARE FEATURED AT OTHER MET ART SITES) ARE SOME OF THE MOST ATTRACTIVE WOMEN IN THE INTERNET.
-THE SITE STRUCTURE AND NAVIGATION ARE EXCELLENT.
CONTINUED IN THE CONS SECTION:
Cons:
PROS (CONTINUED):
-NO DOWNLOAD LIMITS.
-NO STREAMING LIMITS.
-DAILY UPDATE.
-PU DISCOUNTED PRICE OF $19.95/MONTH RECURRING.
-SEX ART SUPPORT STAFF (PART OF THE MET ART SUPPORT STAFF) IS EXCEPTIONAL: FAST TO RESPOND TO EMAILS (WITHIN A FEW HOURS), AND HELPFUL. THE ONLY IMPROVEMENT WOULD BE IF THEY HAD A LIVE CHAT LINE, WHICH THEY DON'T.
-THIS IS A FULL-FEATURED SITE WITH ALL THE EXTRAS YOU GET WITH A GLAM SITE:
-YOU CAN STREAM ONLINE THE PHOTO SETS IN MULTIPLE DEFINITIONS.
-YOU CAN DOWNLOAD THE PHOTO SETS IN MULTIPLE DEFINITIONS.
CONS (START OF):
-CONS ARE BASICALLY MINOR. THIS IS PART OF THE MET ART NETWORK. SO IT'S A FULL-FEATURED GLAM SITE.
-PRE-CHECKED CROSS-SALE ON JOIN PAGE. THIS IS STANDARD FOR PORN SITES.
Bottom Line:
CONS (CONTINUED):
-IF YOU DON'T LIKE GLAM PORN, THE SITE WILL PROBABLY NOT APPEAL TO YOU. THE MODELS ARE GORGEOUS, AND PRESENTED VERY ATTRACTIVELY.
-SOME MODELS APPEAR IN COSTUMES, TO GIVE AN EROTIC TOUCH. SO YOU HAVE TO BE IN THE MOOD FOR EROTIC GLAM. DON'T EXPECT CRUDE, HARSH HARDCORE, ALTHOUGH THERE IS A SLIGHT TINGE OF FANTASY HARSHNESS IN SOME OF THE PHOTO SETS AND VIDEOS.
-NO BONUS SITES COME WITH A MEMBERSHIP.
BOTTOM LINE (START OF): SEX ART IS THE EROTIC VERSION OF THE MET ART SITES. MET ART MODELS ARE BASICALLY PRESENTED AS SOLO MODELS, WHO, ALTHOUGH NAKED, ARE NOT ALLOWED TO SHOW MUCH SEXUALITY. VERY LITTLE SELF-TOUCHING. THAT'S THE WAY IT USED TO BE, ALTHOUGH SOME MILD TOUCHING IS NOW ALLOWED. NO BOYS ALLOWED (ALTHOUGH I DID ONCE SEE A FLASH OF A MALE PHOTOTOGRAPHER'S HAND AND WRIST IN A MET ART PHOTO SET, POSSIBLY TO ARRANGE A MODEL'S P0SE.
BUT SEX ART IS DIFFERENT:
A MODEL IS ALLOWED TO MASTURBATE.
A MODEL IS ALLOWED TO HAVE A BOY PRESENT, EVEN TO HAVE SEX WITH THE BOY.
A MODEL IS ALLOWED TO HAVE A GIRL PRESENT, EVEN TO HAVE SEX WITH THE GIRL.
I THINK OF SEX ART AS MET ART WITH SEX. MET ART IS BEAUTIFUL WOMEN WHO STRIP NAKED. SEX ART IS BEAUTIFUL WOMEN WHO STRIP NAKED AND HAVE SEX. ARTFUL, EROTIC SEX. BY THEMSELVES (MASTURBATION), WITH A PARTNER (A WOMAN OR MAN).
GIVING THE SITE A SCORE OF 90.
IT'S A FINE SITE, BUT I PERSONALLY ENJOY MET ART MORE. BECAUSE OF THE MASSIVE CATALOG OF PHOTO SETS OF GORGEOUS MODELS AT MET ART.
You write: "No problems using my download manager."
So: what is your browser (and is it the newest version, or an older version)?
And what is your download manager?
The name.
Is it free?
I used DownThemAll for many years, but it's not compatible with recent versions of Firefox.
I've used Firefox for many years. Maybe I should try another browser, but familiarity, ease of use, etc. keeps me with Firefox.
They have been working on an updated DownThemAll that will work with the new Firefox, but it's already been at least a couple of years they've been saying that.
And I don't want to run an older version of Firefox, because I'm afraid of viruses, malware, etc.
Even though I also run the Norton Security suite.
Thanks in advance.
My memory is poor. Did I already ask you this previously?
I seem to remember that you are running an older version of Firefox, and that's why you can use DownThemAll.
If you email customer support at MetArt or SexArt, they should give you a refund on your SexArt membership fee.
Just tell them that you unchecked the pre-checked offer to join SexArt, but was charged for the site anyway, by mistake.
MetArt customer service is first rate, and you should get a response to your email very soon.
And the customer service is helpful, and willing to reverse any charges that were made by mistake.
Customer service makes it easy to get your money back, if there was a mistake.
Post a note on this comment, to let us know how things turn out.
(I'm not associated with MetArt staff, except I do have active memberships with some of their sites.)
@SELENA,
AS I WROTE IN THE REVIEW, THE CONS ARE BASICALLY MINOR.
IF YOU LIKE SOFTCORE EROTICISM, YOU WILL PROBABLY LIKE SEX ART.
(I HAVE A LIFETIME MEMBERSHIP TO THE SITE).
THE MAIN REASON I PUT CONS IN THE REVIEW IS THAT PU GUIDELINES WANT A CONS SECTION: OTHERWISE, THEY FEEL THE REVIEW IS TOO ONE-SIDED.
I DON'T THINK IT WOULD BE EASY TO UPGRADE THE SITE, OR MAKE IT MORE ATTRACTIVE TO THE AVERAGE CONSUMER.
BUT FOR A FANTASY UPGRADE, HOW ABOUT SENDING A COLLECTION OF THE MOST ATTRACTIVE MODELS TO MY HOUSE, SO I CAN JUDGE IF THE MODELS ARE AS LOVELY IN REAL LIFE AS THEY APPEAR TO BE AT THE SEX ART SITE.
(JOKE: UNLESS YOU ARE LIKE AMAZON AND STARTING TO INCLUDE HOME DELIVERY WITH YOUR OFFERINGS. THAT WOULD BE A FANTASTIC UPGRADE TO THE SITE!)

Pros:
-PART OF THE METART NETWORK. SO YOU CAN EXPECT THE FOLLOWING:
-EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SERVICE.
-GOOD SITE NAVIGATION.
-GOOD DOWNLOAD SPEEDS.
-HIGH-LEVEL PHOTOGRAPHY.
-ZIP FILES FOR EACH PHOTOSET, IN LOW, MEDIUM, HIGH RESOLUTION.
-CAN DOWNLOAD EACH VIDEO IN LOW, MEDIUM, HIGH RESOLUTION.
-NO DRM.
-NO DOWNLOAD LIMITS.
-PU DISCOUNT OF $19.95/MONTH (RECURRING).
-DAILY UPDATE, EITHER A PHOTOSET OR A VIDEO.
Cons:
-THE CONS ARE BASICALLY MINOR. THIS IS A QUALITY SITE.
-I WOULD CONSIDER THIS SITE A GLAMCORE OR HEARTCORE SITE. IT TRIES FOR A HARDER EDGE THAN METART (METART IS SUPER-SOFTCORE, WHERE NO MEN ARE ALLOWED, AND THE FEMALE MODELS IN THE LAST FEW YEARS ARE NOW ALLOWED TO TOUCH THEMSELVES TO SHOW A BIT MORE EROTICISM, BUT METART IS STILL ONE OF THE SOFTEST SOFTCORE SITES ON THE INTERNET).
SO IF HEARTCORE IS NOT YOUR THING, SEX ART WILL NOT APPEAL TO YOU.
-IT'S NOT GONZO HARDCORE. MAYBE YOU COULD CALL IT SOFTCORE, OR MIDCORE. THERE IS NO ROUGH BONDAGE, CRUEL SEX, REAL PUNISHMENT, ALTHOUGH SOME SCENES ARE PLAYFUL EDITIONS OF BONDAGE, PUNISHMENT, FORCEFUL SEX.
-THERE IS NOT MUCH VARIATION IN THE MODELS: THEY ARE IN THEIR LATE TEENS, OR TWENTIES. MAINLY SLENDER WHITE YOUNG LOVELIES.
-NOT A LOT OF PIERCINGS OR TATTOOS. METART.COM PHOTOSHOPS ANY VISIBLE TATTOOS A MODEL MIGHT HAVE. BUT A FEW SEX ART MODELS DO SHOW TATTOOS.
-THERE IS LIMITED INFORMATION ABOUT THE MODELS.
Bottom Line:
-THIS IS A GLAMCORE VERSION OF THE METART SITE. BOYS ARE ALLOW, SEX IS ALLOWED. NO REAL ABUSE OR CRUEL OR PUNISHING SEX. THE VIDEOS ARE LIKE ZALMAN KING VIDEOS. ZALMAN KING DIRECTED TWO MOON JUNCTION, WILD ORCHID, THE RED SHOE DIARIES, WHICH WERE ALL EROTIC MOVIES OR TV VIDEOS.
IF YOU WERE A FAN OF ZALMAN KING, THEN SEX ART SHOULD APPEAL TO YOU.
-MANY OF THE MODELS AT THE OTHER METART SITES ALSO APPEAR AT SEX ART. SO THE ATTRACTIVE LEVEL OF THE MODELS IS HIGH. THE METART NETWORK EMPLOYS FEMALE MODELS IN THEIR LATE TEENS OR TWENTIES, AND MOST OF THE MODELS ARE ATTRACTIVE TO ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL.
-I SAID SEX ART IS A HARDER VERSION OF METART.
-BOYS/MEN ARE ALLOWED. SO YOU HAVE B/G SEX.
-TOYS ARE ALLOWED. MAINLY IN LESBIAN PLAY, BUT A MAN CAN USE A TOY ON A WOMAN.
THIS IS A QUALITY GLAMCORE SITE:
THE VIDEOS AND PHOTOSETS ARE SHOT BY EXPERTS.
SO YOU CAN EXPECT EXCELLENT LIGHTING, GOOD SOUND CONTROL, GOOD FOCUS, EXPENSIVE SETS.
THE BACKGROUND MUSIC IS JUST OK. NOT AS PHONY OR INTRUSIVE AS AT MANY PORN SITES, BUT THE VIDEOS WOULD PROBABLY BE BETTER WITHOUT THE BACKGROUND MUSIC.
I'M GIVING SEX ART A SCORE OF 90.
IT'S AN EXCELLENT GLAMCORE SITE. PROBABLY DESIGNED FOR COUPLES TO WATCH. X-ART AND THE DIESEL NETWORK ARE EXCELLENT HARDER-EDGED VERSIONS OF THE GLAMCORE NICHE.
Current Member for less than 1 month (at the time of review).
Pros:
-PU discount of $19.99/month (recurring), from regular price of $29.99/month.
-No download limits.
-No DRM.
-Multiple definition choices for download of zip galleries.
-Multiple definition choices for download of videos.
-Can stream videos or download them.
Cons:
-Cons are basically minor. This is a MA (MetArt Network) site. Which means outstanding quality in production values, high-gloss photography, expensively produced videos.
-Even though this is not a softcore site, it's like a soft glamcore site. I assume the target audience is couples, who want to view erotic photos and videos. The site is glamcore/heartcore, and very different from gonzo sex. The sex might be too soft for those who want hardcore sex. If you compare SexArt to X-Art (a high quality glamcore site with attractive models), X-Art is far more hardcore: X-Art features solo masturbation, girl-girl sex, girl-boy sex, multiple partner sex, anal sex. X-Art is far more explicit and hardcore than what Sex Art offers.
-Limited information about the models. The text file that downloads with each zipped gallery gives you basic physical information on the model (age when shot, eye color, hair color, height, weight, breast size, country of origin, ethnicity.
Bottom Line:
CONS (CONTINUED):
But it gives no personal infomation about model's history: what she likes, occupation, goals, etc. The models are lovely creatures, but there's no real connection to them. Porn is fantasy. Part of the fantasy is building a connection to the models.
-Years ago, the MetArt network offered large discounts to their sites if you were a member of any one of their sites.
They offered a $10/month rate. But they dropped that discount program, and now you have to search for special discounts to join, which is hit-and-miss.
-------------
BOTTOM LINE
-This is a high quality site for soft glamcore sex. It features many of the models who appear at the other MetArt member sites.
All content is exclusive. The models are attractive to lovely.
The site is large.
Galleries: 914
Videos: 634
-This is part of the MetArt network. So you know that you will be getting:
1. High quality galleries and videos.
2. Excellent customer service. Customer service will respond with a form email immediately, then a rep will contact you via email within a few hours to try to solve your problem.
3. The videos (and galleries) have a more explicit tone than MetArt.com. The videos and galleries show actual sex acts. Solo female masturbation, girl-girl lesbian sex, girl-boy sex. MetArt.com is trying for a more explicit tone than it used to, but MetArt.com is still basically softcore: No boys allowed, almost no sex allowed. And the MA videos are mainly boring, in spite of the lovely models.
So SexArt is definitely more explicit than MetArt, but it's only slightly more explicit, and nowhere near the hardcore edge that many other glamcore sites feature.
4. As is true of all the MA (MetArt) sites, you have a choice of definition for the galleries of low, medium, high.
There is a gallery zip file in each definition.
You also have choice of definition of videos, of 270p, 360p, 720p, 1080p.
5. Easy navigation of the site, following the same layout as most of the MA sites.
6. Attractive models.
7. Easy login. As long as you have cookies enabled, you just hit the Members Login link, and you enter the site, without having to re-enter your username and password.
Bottom line:
This is an outstanding site for glamcore sex. The problem is that there are a number of high quality glamcore sites that were created in the last few years, and it's difficult to know which are the best value for your money. It comes down to personal taste. Sex Art is the softest of the major glamcore sites. Other glamcore sites include: X-Art, Babes, Diesel network (WowGirls, WowPorn, 18OnlyGirls). The Diesel sites are borderline glamcore/hardcore.
Diesel is definitely hardcore, but some members might disagree that Diesel is glamcore/heartcore. I think the Diesel site offer high quality hardcore porn that is boderline gonzo or borderline glamcore.
Note: 18OnlyGirls.com (part of Diesel offerings) appears to have re-named itself as AllFineGirls.com.
The problem is there are so many porn sites, and a person only has a limited amount of money (and to a lesser degree, amount of time) to explore or savor these sites.
Sex Art is definitely worth exploring. You have a wide selection of attractive models, most in late teens or early twenties, mainly white. But there are other first tier sites that are competing for your porn dollars. Which is a good position to be in, for the porn consumer.
I'm giving SexArt a score of 90. It's a premium site. But it doesn't blow me away like Met Art does. Met Art, for many reasons, is the finest softcore photo site on the internet.
My definition (not an official definition, just my own, because I don't know how the porn industry defines the genre): Glamcore is what some people at PU have called heartcore. It's a romantic approach to hardcore porn, where the emphasis is on "soft", non-gonzo sex. It's become very popular the last few years, with sites like X-Art, SexArt, Babes, Passion HD, Joy Mii featuring attractive models, usually has soft instrumental music background, some storyline (implied) beyond a simple wham-bam-fuck of two or more hard bodies. Trying to inject a bit of eroticism or meaning beyond a simple fuck.
Like the name implies: Glamor + hardcore = glamcore.
Yes, I first noticed Sherilyn Fenn either in the The Wraith (with Charlie Sheen) or Two Moon Junction. Like you, I found her extremely attractive.
A very young Milla Jovovich (she was around 11 years old) was also in Two Moon Junction. Actually, a number of very good actors were also in Two Moon Junction, so although erotic, it wasn't the cheap brand of erotic movies.
Basically I agree with everything you wrote.
The purpose of my comment was to let people know who Zalman King was, in case they forgot his name.
His death will probably have very little impact on any content being posted at sexart.
I saw the movies of his that I listed, and enjoyed them as softcore eroticism.
Sexart is featuring some videos with the byline of "Created by Zalman King".
Zalman King was a producer/director/writer of softcore erotic theatrical movies and television series and movies. He was involved in Nine 1/2 Weeks, Two Moon Junction, Wild Orchid, and Red Shoes Diaries, among other projects.
This site just opened. This is a new offering from Met Art, but with more eroticism, less softcore. The PU discount makes it more attractive. But I think I will wait a while before joining, to give it more time to build more content.
OK, UK. Like I said, go to the sign-up page, and check what prices are shown, then compare that to the PU/TBP prices shown.
Some regional members (outside the US) have found that if they are being offered higher prices than what are shown for US customers, if they contact the site and ask for the US prices, then a link or whatever is sometimes offered that will give them the lower US prices. Depends on the site. I don't have any personal experience with regional pricing, since I live in the US.
Yu Aizawa: 0 movies, 0 galleries at this site.
So no movies or photosets of her here.
There are plenty of hardcore videos at this site.
Most videos have the mosaic censorship, that's just part of normal Japanese porn. So you just have to get used to it. If it really bothers you, you can find some videos without the mosaic, but that is very limited material.
Regarding regional pricing: Go to the sign-up page to check what the pricing shown is for you. You don't state what area/region you are (is that a secret?), but when you see the prices shown on your signup page, you will know whether you would be charged regional prices by comparing those sign-up prices with the prices listed at PU/TBP.
There are both non-nude and nude photosets at this site. Depends on the model what is offered. This site obviously does not have all of the photosets for each model that are available thru other Internet sources. There is more focus on the videos at this site, but the photosets the site has are a nice bonus to the videos.
The daily download limit is generous. Unless you have a very fast connection, you will not be bothered by it too much. The trick is to download all your daily material into one folder, to keep track of your bandwidth usage. One separate folder for each day's download, to tell how much you are downloading.
I did get an email reply today from this site, in response to my fourth email to them.
The email was friendly and generous.
The email stated the site was giving me 10 free days of additional membership to the site, based on the problems I was experiencing.
The email asked me if I was using a download manager.
It also explained that support did not receive the first 3 emails I sent to them about my problems. To send the first three emails, I used the site software, where you click on the hot link of the Banned page message, a popup box appears where you enter the email message stating your problem, and then click the send link, using the internal site system. I would have thought the system would be more secure and less prone to error than trying to send an email to support using your own email program. But none of those emails were received by support.
The email that was received, my fourth email, I sent using Yahoo email, to the accounts@sexasian18dotcom address I found at the site. Someone at their site found that email in their spam box.
I am hoping I will get an additional email, that explains how I can use a download manager and still avoid being banned. The site Knowledge Base states that a download manager is allowed. The download manager should be set to download a single thread at a time. After the first day, I have only downloaded 1 file at a time. But I don't know how to specifically set my download manager to download 1 thread at a time, because that might be different from downloading 1 file at a time.
If anyone reading this reply knows specifically how to set up Free Download Manager to download 1 thread at a time, I would appreciate instructions.
I have read elsewhere that Free Download Manager might split a single file into sections and then download them simultaneously. But I don't know if Free Download Manager is splitting a single file into sections and downloading them simultaneously, and that is what is causing me to get banned before I hit the 12 GB download limit.
Using Free Download Manager would make it a lot easier to download multiple files from the site, and save me time and effort, if I can use it without getting an early and wrongful ban.
GCode, thanks for positive feedback on my review.
The truth is there is a large element of luck with some of these personal experiences. I had problems, but evidently you and jd1961 and nbaby8 didn't, as reflected in your much higher scores. Another person might join and not get banned as often as I did, or have better luck with support answering their emails.
I still don't know why I have been banned so often. I assume it's because their software for counting bandwith usage is buggy, because I never exceeded the bandwidth limit.
As for never receiving a response to my emails to support, someone else might have better luck or they might experience the same lack of response.
A few PU members mention poor email support for a site in their reviews or comments, but I think most PU members don't use support unless they are having a really serious problem with that site.

Pros:
-If you get tired of lovely Euro teens, look at Japanese teens for fresh models. I have nothing against Latino and other types, but Japan makes an art form of photographs and videos of lovely young Japanese girls.
-Huge amount of content. Just like Met-art, you get exhausted looking through all the pictures/videos on this site, and know you can't see all the gorgeous girls there are to see. There just isn't enough time, or enough space on your hard drive to download it all, unless your handle is badandy400.
Advertise:
-daily updates. Minimum of 2 movies daily.
-high res DVD quality movies in either AVI or WMV format
-24/7 customer support. All emails answered by a human within 48 hours.
-can search by terms and keywords. Can search by model, photoset, video, censored video, uncensored video, or by category (interracial, amateur, cosplay, popular actress, school girl, mature, etc.).
-no DRM
-easy cancellation
-signup thru CCBill or Verotel
Cons:
-Mosaic (a form of censorship for genitalia) takes getting used to.
-Acting/attitude of female models different from American and Euro style, takes getting used to.
-The photosets are high quality: lovely photos, but not enough of them. This is more of a video site than a photo site.
-The model, movie and photoset information is embedded in the page as a photograph, so it can't be copied and pasted manually into a text file on
your PC. Name of file, model(s), title of movie/photoset, etc. have to be manually typed into your personally created database to keep track of what the downloaded movies/photosets are.
-1 file size for zip photosets. No choice of low, medium, high res photos.
-1 file size for video files. No choice of low, medium, high res video.
-No choice of file type for videos. Some video files download as AVI, some download as WMV.
-Only 10 movie captures (screenshots) to illustrate a movie which could be 2-4 hours.
Bottom Line:
CONS (continued):
-No online streaming to watch the movie.
-Apparently viewing a photoset online counts against your daily download limit of 12 GB. I sent an email asking for verification of this, got no reply from support.
-The 12 GB daily download limit is a lie:
-Day 1 of my membership, I was banned for rest of the day after downloading less than 3 GB. The site states that if you download more than 1 thread at a time, you are counted for each thread. The site does not state that you are mis-counted for muli-thread downloads.
-Day 3 of my membership, banned again for rest of day after downloading less than 3 GB. The form BAN message stated either I exceeded 12 GB or my account had been hacked. I had been careful to only download 1 file at a time before starting the next download.
-Day 4 of membership banned for rest of day before I reached the 12 GB limit. Again, I had been careful to only download 1 file at a time, but was improperly banned anyway.
-Email support is a lie. The site claims the email support is 24/7, and that a human will respond to each email request within 48 hours. I sent numerous requests to email support. I check my email several times a day, both regular in-box and the spam-box. I never received an email response from support. Since I did not get a response after 3 emails to support, I sent an email requesting help to their accounts email address, explaining my problems and the lack of response from support email. Have not received any reply from accounts email.
-No confirmation email of membership purchase from CCBill.
BOTTOM LINE:
The photosets and videos are good-to-high quality (dvd quality, not the super high visual quality of specialty sites like Femjoy for photosets and videos)
stats:
photos: dimensions 768x1050 to 1200x1800
video:resolution: 640x480
Site ease of use: This is a site with a large number of files (videos and photosets) you will want to download. Using a download manager is the only reasonable way to handle the downloading chores, unless you are willing to spend a massive number of hours at the computer keyboard manually
downloading each separate file.
The form BAN message states you are banned from site for 15 hours because you exceeded bandwidth usage or your account was hacked. You are issued username and password by CCBill, and have no control over them.
I paid for a service, access to a site, and did not receive what I paid for. What does the large amount of good quality site content matter to me, if I can't access the content for large periods of time? I believe my score is fair based on the lousy service I am getting. I was generous only because of the large quality content that it is hard as hell to get to.
Edit 1: Was told in an email that multi-thread counter was fixed, you no longer get early ban for using a download manager.
Also, I was given 10 free days because of my site problems.
I've been a member of this site for 2 days plus a few hours. I was blocked on the first day for excessive bandwidth usage. Maximum daily usage limit is 12 GB, and I used less than 3 GB. But because I downloaded more than 1 file at the same time, my usage was overstated due to whatever method they use to count, and I was banned for approximately 12 hours.
The site does not state that downloading more than 1 file at the same time is not allowed. What the site states is that if more than 1 file is downloaded at the same time, that usage will be counted towards your daily limit.
The site does not state that your usage will be mis-counted if you download more than 1 file at the same time.
OK, I learned my lesson. Do not download more than 1 file at the same time on this site, or you can be banned long before you reach your daily limit.
This is the start of my 3rd day's membership, and I have been banned again. I downloaded 2 files. I downloaded the first file, waited until it was finished downloading, and then downloaded a second file. The total was 2.7 GB (I downloaded 2 movies, and each movie is over 1 GB, which is the norm at this site). The maximum daily limit is 12 GB, as I stated earlier.
So I did not download 2 files at the same time.
But I have been banned again, for 15 hours, for excess bandwidth use.
The Ban message states my account has exceeded the daily limit (12 GB). I downloaded 2.7 GB. The Ban message states that if I personally did not exceed the 12 GB limit, possibly my account was hacked. As I explained in an earlier comment, my username and password were issued by CCBill. I did not choose the username or password. And the username and password are tight security, in the sense they are each a mixture of lowercase and uppercase letters, mixed with numbers, in an apparently random order. So if the username and password were hacked, the problem lies with CCBill or the paysite itself. But I am the one who is paying for the service I am not receiving.
Hopefully, any PU members will have less frustration with this site than I have experienced.
I sent an email stating I was improperly banned the first time.
I have not received any reply to that email from support yet, and it's been almost 2 full days. The site advertises 24/7 email support, and that any email to support will be answered in 48 hours.
I sent a second email stating the problems that I am having with the site, and saying that I will cancel my membership if the problems are not resolved.
I have not had any reply from customer support yet on my emailed problem. The site advertises 24/7 support, and that any email request will be handled within 48 hours. I sent my email yesterday morning, so it's been about 30 hours so far.
Actually, the counter for download bandwidth limit resets each day at Midnight EST (I read that somewhere inside the site.) So even though my notice of being banned from the site stated 15 hours of banishment, I was able to get into the site and download starting around 9pm PST. I found that by accident when I went to the site and hit a download button, and the stupid file started downloading (stupid, because I had already downloaded a previous copy of that particular photoset).
What really surprised me was that I downloaded that file, 43 MB, in only a few seconds. My download speed is only about 157 kb/s, so the computer somehow used the previous copy already on my PC, or some other copy that it stored in some temporary storage folder, to make that new file copy, even though it was being downloaded from the paysite.
Anyway, I will report what customer support tells me, if I get a reply. At some paysites, they advertise 24/7 email support, but the truth is that you don't get any response to your emails.
I'm not sure what you mean when you say downloading two files at the same time goes twice as slow. I use DownThemAll, and the download rate for 1 or 2 or even 3 files (the total amount of kb/s) remains pretty steady. The total amount of time to download 3 files is not longer when you download 2 or 3 files at the same time. Actually, it's slightly shorter. And by downloading 3 files at once, you don't have to wait around for one file to finish downloading, before you start downloading the next one. (You can do the downloading automatically, once you start the downloads.)
I used to use Free Download Manager, which let me schedule the downloads separately. But when I updated my Firefox browser some time back, the Free Download Manager program somehow got messed up, and did not work with Firefox.
Maybe I will try to fix the Free Download Manager program, because it was very easy to use, and very convenient in scheduling downloads, and really worked well.
When you want to download a large number of separate files, you need a download manager to handle the chores, or you will be spending a huge amount of time at the computer keyboard.
-------------------------------------------------
But if you download more than 1 file at a time at this site, you are heavily penalized on your download limit. So it's not worth it.
The main attraction of this site (and almost any site, as far as I am
concerned) is how attractive are the models. Some of my favorites are Maria Ozawa, Cecil Fujisaki, Sora Aoi, Saori Hara, Tina Yuzuki. Maria Ozawa is absolutely gorgeous.
Aino Kishi is a new one for me.
Thanks for the recommendation. I will give her a try.
I would love to try all the different JAV sites that look to be worthwhile. But with limited cash, I thought this site would, because of its large content and apparently good-quality videos and photosets, be a good site to belong to.
I just need to get back into the site, when they unblock me, to see what I can download.
I did send a message to the help desk explaining that I was blocked and should not have been. But an email reply can take 1-2 days, and I should have access sometime tomorrow. But I am interested in what the support email will say, because I did explain clearly that I only downloaded 2.98 GB out of a daily limit of 12 GB. I also mentioned being blocked for about 2 hours because no popup page for username and password would pop up on my PC. Some help desks are almost useless, and there is the additional problem, I assume, that the help desk might be in Japan, so English would be a second language. But I am curious to see if the help desk will offer anything beyond a mechanical message that "We're sorry about your problem. Hope you feel better soon". Some help desk emails are entirely mechanical (form letter), and it seems they haven't even bothered to read the email requesting help.
Thanks for the tip, Gcode. Actually, I used Firefox browser and DownThemAll download manager to download my files from this site. I used DownThemAll because I thought that if a file download is interrupted, DownThemAll might allow the download to be resumed, instead of restarted from the beginning of the file download.
After I got the "exceeded download limit" message, I looked around their site, and found in the "Knowledge Base>Download Related>Can I use a download manager to download movies?" the following statement:
"Yes, you can [use a download manager], but please remember to setup your download manager to download using one (1) thread only. Multiple download threads will be counted towards your bandwidth. We will not issue any refund that is related to the use of multi-threaded downloads."
If I was a lawyer, which I am not, I would read that statement to say that "mulitiple download threads will be counted towards your bandwidth." Actually, that is exactly what they wrote.
If they miscount my bandwidth usage, that is their error, not mine.
I was cut off from access at 2.98 GB, when the daily limit is 12 GB.
And if they refuse me access because of their error, I see little or no reason to pay for service which they are not providing.
Sorry, I realize in the real world things don't always work, and everyone likes to say the blame lies with someone else.
So I will either cancel the service, and tell my credit card company I was billed improperly, or try to get over the irritation and wait until I am allowed back in, to see what other problems this site dumps on me. Grrrrr. (Tony the Tiger).
Thanks again for taking the time and effort to share your experiences.
