| Pros: |
+ sets the standard for quality of photos and beautiful women
+ video content
+ frequent updates (a few new sets every day)
+ women are natural: no fake breasts!!!!
+ photos look like a REAL PHOTOGRAPHER took them, not just some creep with a brand new camera
+ models really pose well (no 'deer in headlights')
+ no insertions - personally, I want to see the beautiful women being themselves, not pretending to be turned on with some ridiculous toy
+ MUCH higher quality than typical American porn sites |
| Cons: |
+ most recent models are completely shaved (might not be seen as a con for all)
+it's not very 'artistic' in terms of model poses. Erotic is more accurate (this could be seen as a pro, but the name of the site implies artistic)
+ navigating is rough although search helps, but it's kind of an outdated search system
+ would like to see a little more ethnic diversity. Yes eastern european woman are hot, but other ethnicities are very much under represented. |
| Bottom Line: |
A bit pricey, but worth it. At least for a few months. I have been a member 3 times. After letting my membership lapse for a few months (because I've already been through all the content) I have been going back for more.
If it's your first time, grabbing the year subscription is worth it, but if you've been a member before, take the shorter term or you might be bored. |

| Pros: |
The content!!!! Is excellent can't say enough of good about it. Its not over the top or trash in anyway. It has a good artistic presents and control. You can see the people involved are very good and maintain a very good consistency from model to model. I like the fact they have movies with the girls and the updates. |
| Cons: |
I do not particularly like shuffling through the massive content database. I have been a long time member and seen a lot. I wish there was a better way to navigate.
The movies addition was great when it happened but now with other sites upping the game in quality, speed, and support its just not good enough. Don't get me wrong they work but often I experience too much buffering and diminishing quality. I don't think it hurts this site at all considering the image gallery is why we all go there in the first place. |
| Bottom Line: |
The best artistic non hardcore gallery collection on the web. If you are expecting to get videobox out of this you are way off and should give it a try anyway. This site has kept me coming back for years. |

| Pros: |
+ Features just about the most gorgeous girls on the planet....naked!!! How does that work?!?
+ Huge resolution photo sets
+ Great download manager support with no connection limits
+ All pic sets available in 3 different sizes - all zipped
+ Nice favourites, voting, and model index system
+ Very regular updates
+ Good value for money
+ enormous back catalogue |
| Cons: |
- Some videos are poor (not all though by any stretch)
- No explicit content - a lot of the girls don't even spread :-(
- Like to keep everything? You'll need a few Terabytes of HDD lying around |
| Bottom Line: |
In my eyes the best picture based, non hardcore site on the internet. No question worth the monthly subscription (currently $30 per month, $60 for 3 months or £100 for a year) - 4 updates a day (usually all photo sets but around 10 video updates per month instead of photo setse) - first day of the month is 6 updates.
The site is not explicit, there are no BG sets or insertions of any kind. The odd GG set is tame and not really worth the bother. The real strength of this set is the quality of the models. You know the sort of girl you see in magazines (the sort of girl that doesn't exist in real life - they're just too perfect)? The sort of girl you could never hope to get to first base with let alone any further. Well - Met Art is a strike for the normal guy - a chance to see what these perfect creatures are really like. What's going on under the clothes of a girl with movie star looks. Why these girls take their clothes off for money I have no idea - there's hardly a girl on the site that couldn't earn a perfectly good wage just modeling fully clothed!!
There's a pretty steady influx of new talent too - it's not like they've got a few top quality models to strip and stuck with it - rearely a week goes by without some new knockout talent appearing. And I cant' remember a day going by without at least one new photoset being worthy of...well...worthy of Met Art earning their money from me!!!
The site is quick to navigate with full thumbnails of everything and a full archive going back further than most of us have hard drive space for. Each model is fully indexed so - sea a girl you like? You can easily find all the rest of her content.
The servers are quick and there are no download limits - I set use FDM to run 4 connections and get very few connection issues. Just as well - there's currently around 1Gb new content every single day!
Only slight niggles:
-Video content is often just video of the photoshoots and if not - is often a little too arty for my taste - lots of quick jump edits.
-I'd like a little more info on the models - maybe some interview reels. Most models have a small bio text file but they are VERY short and not really that informative in most cases.
-There's maybe a little too much airbrushing at times but this site is all about perfection so I'm not one to complain about the webmasters going that tiny bit further to float my boat.
I can't recommend this site enough - if you're into art shoots then you'll already be a member, have been a member or have been living in a cave for the last 10 years. If you're into harder stuff then maybe this shou;dn't be you're primary site but...hey...we ALL like beautiful girls yes? They don't get any more beautiful than on Met Art. |

| Pros: |
- My new favorite of the picture heavy sites, TBP price of $19.95 is a bargain, as is the year deal of $99.99.
- 4 updates per day
- There could be bigger, but the biggest resolution I'm seeing right now is 3744x5616, all sets are zipped.
- Amount of content is overwhelming, more than I have been able to go through in 3 months.
- After much thought, I consider the lack of many movies a pro. The movies they do have rarely compare to the photo sets.
- Movies are high quality technically and come in DIVX, QT H264, IPOD, WMV and MPEG.
- Navigation is pretty simple to use considering the amount of content.
- DL speed uses about 98% of my max speed |
| Cons: |
- Movies to me are not worth downloading, and if they didn't post them, I wouldn't complain.
- Hard to believe, but some of the g/g sets to me take away from the solo sets.
- If you like anything that has to do with penetration, even solo, this isn't the site for you and wasn't for me a few years ago. |
| Bottom Line: |
Back when I first reviewed Met-Art, I gave it an 80. I felt at that time, I was being nice with that score. If nothing else, the 80 was my way of saying at least everything is high quality and they update consistently.
Things have changed, I hadn't been a member in a year. I joined again and it was like a whole new world opened up to my perverted eyes. There still are sets that I find annoying, poses for example, but I'm finding much more to like now than I did two years ago.
The models range from typical slim models to average weight and bust. There aren't many Daisy DDDD cups here.
I think my change in how I look at this site came about when on a forum of a well-known Euro photographer, I read a post by him that said his sets when viewed told a story and that "some people don't get that story". I looked at Met-Art's sets that way and now will be joining for a year as soon as my monthly subscription runs out.
The resolution size of the pictures is huge. Those high 4000s images are almost like looking at a map! You scroll sideways or up and down and those are really amazing to look at in that much detail.
It probably didn't hurt that I developed myself a crush on Lidiya A and probably 30 other models. Including some of my longtime favorites like Zafira, Eve, Aneta.
My cons for this site are limited to things that I think could/would be cons to others. The videos are photoshoots or biographies/interviews. These are also quite large files. I downloaded one a few days ago that was 500 MB+, and it was nothing more than videoing the photoshoot. I also think the g/g sets are not near as good as the solo sets, though I haven't seen them all.
I am seeing more variety in their models than I had noticed in my earlier review and that helps me add the points to this re-review.
The search feature can be a hassle, at least for me, I'm not real specific in my searches, so I end up with hundreds of results, that is probably more my fault, but I don't know any of the set filenames, so how would I know what to search for using that function? In time, I would guess the search will be more functional for me as I get used to the site and its filenaming.
The locations are usually only second to the models in beauty also. I did run into a few blurry pictures here and there, but I'm not really complaining.
I had thought about sending their webmaster an email to ask a question, but haven't yet, so I don't know how their customer service is. To give an example of how much content there is, my question was going to ask who the model is in the thumbnail over "Your Profile", she is brunette, white lacy top opened to the middle and looks to be a matching skirt. I thought it was Zafira, but it isn't. So, I'm stuck looking through every model's page at the covers, hoping to find out who she is.
To me, that is a credit to how large the site is and how much content they have, add the very high quality and I have a new favorite photo site, recommended! |

| Pros: |
-Fantastic models
-Varied photographers
-Crisp Clear images
-Large sets
-4 daily updates
-Many new models
-Sensual poses and vibrant sets
-Continual improvements in models and average quality
-Superb Lighting
-Create Galleries
-Re-rate artists and models
-Amazing Value |
| Cons: |
-Recent Majoly (artist) sets
-Some boring videos
-Occasional quality lapse
-Met-cam models moved to private cams
-PSP videos low res |
| Bottom Line: |
The best artistic nude website online, there is no competition for Met-Art because they are easily in a league of their own. The reasons for this are an absolutely huge amount of archived sets and huge collection of models. New models are regularly added with increasing quality. New models that get rated highly are very quickly brought back for follow up photo shoots (usually 2 more). Completely amazing website, one you should check out as you have probably stumbled upon many great sets from them anyway.
Photo quality in the website is extremely good with models, artist and locations being of high standards. Artistic and photo quality is excellent, artists like Voronin and Ingret are masters at lighting and produce superb sets with wonderful colour contrast along with clear high megapixel photos. The actual set locations are great and varied on their own, although there is some reusing of set location there is usually a fair gap between those updates. Models are very attractive but of course people have different likes and dislikes and Met-art has the huge range to cater for anybody. I think there is plenty of variety for new models also.
The site does have a few minor negatives including movies and some artistic “choice”. Movies themselves are up and down, quality is fairly good but content varies from sexy to sterile. In some cases watching videos of existing photosets can be a bad thing. Other times videos are very nicely put together, some videos you can hear the sound of the camera clicking and the artist speaking and this may put off some people who prefer music, although many include music. Older videos tend to be sexier and racier. Another very big issue currently is the artist Majoly who seems to be bringing the quality of the site down, his recent works appear as if he has taken some shots of attractive models in good locations and then passed them through a very aggressive Vaseline filter making them look awful, thankfully most artists are not like this.
Content on the site is almost beyond quick description. There are so many great sets in the archives dating back almost 10 years. They will post up a preview of the four updates coming for the next day. You can rate on each model and each artist and then change your vote at a later stage, which I do quite a bit. There is a brief bio for the model which I think is sufficient, more community feedback, such as commenting on sets or voting on upcoming sets is something to look at. After a year with this site I still check it daily for content. It’s very much worth a yearly membership, especially considering the huge amount of existing photos you may need to download. I’ve still got hundreds of models to rate and I try to rate every new set, which again emphasizes the content and introduction of new models, 39 new models in January 09 alone. Its amazing value and I will continue to subscribe given what I have seen in the past year. I’m glad to be a subscriber. |

| Pros: |
- Highest resolution pictures I've ever seen.
- Free public web cams.
- Exclusive content.
- Great navigation.
- Model info.
- Daily updates. |
| Cons: |
- Videos are sub-par in content. |
| Bottom Line: |
What can I say, this site is huge and very popular. The models are plenty and they have such great resolution. However, I want to start with some quirks I have.
Once again, the models range from perfect 10's to lower #'s. However, I've not found a model on the site that didn't have a quality that was totally unattractive. But, you are getting exactly what the site claims it is, showing beauty through camera work. The pictures range from indoors, outside on a beach, in snow, to in a forest. The camera work is superb and the scenery can be breathtaking. But, you have to enter this site knowing you are getting he soft of the softest. I am a lover of softcore and pictures but a lot of these pictures are just too soft for me. Now I know that this is exactly what the site is, I have to state this for others who may be expecting otherwise. You will get girls that are totally naked, even pussy shots, but they are never gonna open that pussy up for you to look at. So, go in to this site knowing you are gonna see a lot of sealed lips :)
The videos range from sub par quality to great hd. However, I almost find the videos pointless. They are videos of the girls doing their photo shoots or just sitting in water naked or dancing around. Rarely will you see a video as a 'strip tease just for you'. Once again, I see the vision that this site has as being a showcase for beauty rather than lewdness but a nice striptease would be great.
The public web cams that are free are great. You can also join private ones at an extra charge. This is a great addition to the site and I can see this as being a main reason to stay with them.
The site navigation is great. Everything is easy to find with a model index which includes info for most. Everything is is in zip format with 3 resolutions, and all of these are still great quality in appearance.
Overall, this site is great for showcasing beauty of younger women. Just remember, the beauty of these women comes through extreme softcore. |

| Pros: |
My pros are the vast amount of material, updates galore. The quality of the models is great as theres so many hot women on the site. I liked the free cam, saw one of my fav girls on there Ashanti and chatted with her so that was worth the membership fee alone. chatted with lots of other really cute girls and loved the clean chat rules they have, makes a change and just had a nice feel to it with respecting the model more. Like the search engine feature too. |
| Cons: |
Can be a little boring after a while as lots of sets very repetitive. Don't like the met-models site been seperate as there was certain models sets I didn't get to see as on that site, but hey I could always join that site in the future I guess. Movies were just ok in my view, some nice ones but mainly a little boring. |
| Bottom Line: |
Overall its a great site and still the best of its kind in my opinion, you want cute softcore pics, this is the place to be. Its really come on navigational wise since I was last here a few years ago and updates and fast and furious. I like vids to much to stay a member but made a nice change and got some great sets and discovered some new stunners I'd never seen before which was really nice. I recommend it for your fix of cuties that could be supermodels and finding the real cuties is fun. Maybe wish it was so vast though, never thought I'd complain a site was too big but it just became slightly frustrating trekking through the huge numbers of sets to try and get all I wanted in 1 month, only managed half, so will join again in the future to get the rest. |

| Pros: |
· pioneers in nude-art online
· over 700,000 photos
· 610 movies (no hdv)
· 4-7 updates a day
· 1300+ models (primilary teens)
· 120 photographers
· cam-shows |
| Cons: |
· promising covers but average photography
· flip-book styled sets
· site design inflicts browsing experience
· popups are oldschool
· no hdv movies
· can turn into a daily routine |
| Bottom Line: |
Met Art has become a drowning fat mama with a belly full of luscious teens doing softcore only.
If you do not care about boring flip-book style photography or seeking for a specific girl's contents, you're at the right place.
The girls are super but the site itself had frustrated me. A proper redesign and the usage of common technologies would increase the browsing experience drastically. |

| Pros: |
- Extensive collection of sets
- Excellent video quality
- Good choice of pic quality (recent galleries 36 MP+)
- Good range of photographers
- Excellent quality of models (although everybody will have their favourite.)
- Simple navigation
- No DRM
- Good search function
- Good download speed
- Sticks to its principles |
| Cons: |
- Model bios could be a little more detailed
- Perhaps the general theme of the videos could move away from the shoot environment?
- Larger sets are repetitive (almost identical pics one after the other)
- Splitting a single shoot over 3 or more sets is a bit of a con. |
| Bottom Line: |
Will it get your dick hard? Well, if you are a red-blooded hetero man (or bi/gay woman) who appreciates the beauty of teen glamour modelling, then YES, it will.
Will you be cracking one off to it? Well, if you are of a very limited sexual experience, maybe, otherwise no.
Art is the best way of describing it. As a site it really does celebrate beauty of the female form (although in a very biased way) and you will spend a lot time simply staring (and probably wishing that you had these girl's number!!!!!)
You will come away with a renewed perspective of how beautiful women are.
Be warned though, if you are looking for something to wank off to, you are in the wrong place! |

| Pros: |
The buzz on this site is correct. I'm not particularly a fan of hardcore porn I like hot naked girls. The photography on this site is 5 star. The girls are amazing. You could surf this site everyday for a year and not see everything. |
| Cons: |
I like big boobs and most of these girls while gorgeous are not well endowed. So my score docks them for that. But thats my purgative you might not feel the same why I just want to note that. |
| Bottom Line: |
I haven't found a better deal online it was less than $20 for the month. |

| Pros: |
Huge selection of models far too many to get through in one month. So they have helped you chose with sections such as best of Met and an advanced search with 12 search options.With such a huge choice there really has to be something for everyone no matter what your taste.
Models have generally multiple photosets with pictures ranging from high 3328x4992
to low resolution around 768x1024
Most photosets have 100+ pictures of the model and you get usually 4 updates per day including regular additions of new models.
Movies are streamable and downloadable in a number of options including ipod,Divx, mpeg,real player. With the recent movies being of a much better quality than when I was a member 1yr ago and are now generally HQ 1280x720
There is also a free cam section which is worth a mention but cant comment as I have yet to check it out. |
| Cons: |
The Cons and where they lost the 10 points.
I was amazed at the difference in the quality of the photo sets from one photographer to the next with complete sets ruined with grainy and soft photos. As an example one great model VALENTINA A has a photo set NASCOSTA BY INGRET which is 9th Dec 2008 and the photo quality is terrible. Most photos are soft, grainy and lack sharpness. Compare this to the same model VALENTINA A SPLASH BY RYLSKY 25/10/08 and VALENTINA A
SPRINKLE BY RYLSKY 25/01/07 where the sets are of a much higher quality and so much sharper. You would think quality would improve as time went by yet earlier sets are in some cases much better than the updates and this is not the only example there are many more. Personally I would rather see less updates and maintain the quality. I did of course send them an email but it was never answered. The movies as mentioned are HQ but can be pretty boring and are really a movie of the photoset. |
| Bottom Line: |
Bottom line I had hope after rejoining a year later things would have improved but the photo quality of some photographers has never been addressed and I will wait some time before considering rejoining.
Otherwise it still has one of the largest photo sets to choose from and deserves to be in the top 10 though not necessarily as high as their current rating. They really need to address the quality of some photographers and if they don't sites such as torridart will soon start to give them serious competition as they grow in size and develop their photo sets. |

| Pros: |
Best site on Internet for softcore European models.
Huge selection of models.
Many of the models are lovely/gorgeous/beautiful: really, some of the prettiest models I've seen on
any porn site.
Many different erotic photographers have contributed to the site.
Most models have multiple photosets.
Most photosets have 100+ pictures of the model.
The photosets are of very high quality (except some from the early years of the site).
With a membership, you get a large number of hours of live webcams per day.
For years they have been posting 3-4 new photosets per day. That is a huge number of updates.
They are constantly coming out with new models, as well as with new photosets of older models(not in age, but as in previously viewed models).
Most models appear to be in their late teens or early 20s.There are many different physical types of European girls: breast size: small, medium, large. Most girls slender, some medium, a few large (not heavy, just big beautiful girls). |
| Cons: |
Met-art has made an art of posting boring videos of beautiful young girls.
Sorry, but that disappoints me.
The videos are a very minor extra, hardly worth watching.
The models are almost all European. There are very few Asian or African or others. To see other types of models, go to a different site.
This is softcore only. If you are looking for hardcore, go elsewhere. No boy-girl sex. No boys at all. A little girl-girl touching, but so mild you wonder why they bother.
Met-art has a posted schedule for the livecam shows. If a model does not appear for her show, you don't find out about the change until you are waiting for the model to appear live, and maybe there is a replacement model, or maybe no show at all.
The same model can have different names. This is a porn problem, but why can't they give a girl a name and remember it?
Search feature for model sets is OK, but could be easier to use. |
| Bottom Line: |
If you like soft-core pictures of beautiful European girls, this is the site to join. The annual fee of $99 is a bargain.
This site (in my opinion) offers, for the same or less money, so much more than competing sites such as:
metmodels: (a sister site to met-art) that has fewer updates and fewer models and fewer photosets.
hegre-art: fewer updates and fewer models and fewer photosets. No livecams. No variety of photographers. And is more expensive than met-art.
domai: a nice softcore site, but again: fewer updates and fewer models and fewer photosets. No
livecams. And the photosets do not have the great quality of the met-art sets. |

| Pros: |
-outstanding model selection
-large amount of photographers
-models from many diffrent countries
-very good updates(normaly 4 or 5 sets each day)
-site has been doing very good with viedos lately
-no download limits
-photo sets average around 140 pics often more
-models often dont start off nude which makes sets more interesting
-some sets have very artistic look
-most sets have many good shots of the model from various angles
-there is now model info got added sometime in 2008
-huge ammount of pictures something around 600,000 total!
-good amount of models of diffrent bulids, skinny,large breasted,many diffrent skin tones, many models have very nice butts
-for me the site has very fast servers and I have used it on dial-up as well as DSL connections |
| Cons: |
-not all models have a bio yet
-due to there being so many models one that you like may not appear very often
-site layout can be confusing at first
-some viedos are filmed photosets
-cost of site much higher if you pay the monthly cost of $29.95 or $359.40 after a year compared to $99.00 for a year or $8.25 a month. |
| Bottom Line: |
I feel that MET-ART is the best errotic art site on the net. It has the most to offer over any other simular site namely in sheer number of models and cost(if you pay the $99.00 yearly fee).I have been a member of FEMJOY,DOMAI,HeargeArt,and MC Nudes. All of these sites are very good as well but MET-ART is the one that keeps me most happy.AS I said in the cons the site can be a little confusing layout wise but to me its not really a big deal because MET-ART provides what I really like(errotic art) in spades.Another con would be that some viedos are just filmed photosets though I think this is more the artists choice than the sites saying. One artist GONCHAROV has outstanding films that are purely films and there is no camera(photographic)work going on the model is simply moving around as GONCHAROV films. Another con is that sometimes a model may only pose one time and never appear in another set however this quite rare and there are so many models that you are likely to have many favorites and most likely there will be a model that you enjoy pretty much everyday.I see that some people con the site for lacking masturbation ect. I dont agree with this it is not the aim of the site.Masturbation is more like true pornagraphy while MET-ART is errotic art to me those are two diffrent things.This site is for the person with a "sensual" eye one that is most pleased by the female form but not by a direct sexual act. The number one con to me is the pricing. The basic monthly fee adds up to $359.40 if you kept the account open for a year. It is best to try the site for a month and if you like it buy the $99.00 full year fee which ends up being $8.25 a month or the 90 day fee which is cheaper than paying the monthly fee at a higher price for the same timespan. My best advice is to try several errotic sites and find the one that most satisfiies your personal taste. That way you have tried some that you think you like and pick the best one much like when you buy a new car test drive. |

| Pros: |
+++ beautiful locations
+++ VARIETY of beautiful locations
+++ beautiful models
+++ professional photography
++ variety of outfits
++ free cam
+ daily updates
+ variety of video formats
+ convenient navigation |
| Cons: |
-- too much difference between cover page and gallery contents (see explanation below)
-- mood of some models can be better
-- movies are just recording of photoshoots
- resolution selection is not preserved
- obsession with bandwidth for movies (6Mbit/sec WMV is too much for me)
- lack of search |
| Bottom Line: |
I've decided to join Met-Arts mostly because of cover pages of their daily issues, and those are pieces of art, really. But what really surprised and quite disappointed me was that inside their galleries feel quite different from the cover page. Met-Art doesn't "cheat", and "cover" is from the same gallery, but overall feeling is still VERY different. Sure, everybody selects the very best shot for cover page, but IMHO Met-Arts kind of contrast between cover and gallery itself is unusual both for paper magazines and web sites. Fortunately, Met Art has archives and IMHO back in 2006 and earlier this difference WASN'T THAT BIG. In general, I liked old galleries MUCH better. It's both good and bad to know, as on one hand, it means I can find galleries I like more, on the other hand, means that quality of Met-Art galleries (from my subjective perspective) goes downhill :-(.
Another thing that bothered me (and which isn't present on "covers") is mood of the girls. Granted, they're REALLY beautiful, but it is quite clear from the pictures (and videos) that most of them are just doing pretty boring job; I don't mind what they really think, but when it becomes obvious on the picture, then IMHO something is wrong. And again, this wasn't that much of a problem as late as in 2007.
In addition, I shall say that I'm not fond of picture sizes like 3328x4992: I never print such pictures, I don't have monitor that large, and don't think I will ever get one in foreseeable future (monitor with 4992 HEIGHT? even if such a beast exists, I'm afraid even to think how much it costs). I obviously don't mind about such pictures as long as Met-Arts provides lower resolutions, but I don't consider such HUGE pictures as an advantage too. But one thing calls for improvement, and it is that if I've selected "Mid-Res" once, then ALL the galleries shall start to be shown as "Mid-Res" (now they still default to "Hi-Res").
Bottom line: Met Art is one of VERY few sites on the Net with potential to make erotic ART, but unfortunately it (IMHO) doesn't realize this potential. Also I had a pretty hard time rating it, so to do it, I've compared how much I enjoy it with another softcore site I've recently joined - VirtuaGirlHD (I know it's apples and oranges, but I don't have any better reference). And IMHO MetArt's old galleries are about on par with VirtuaGirlHD (88), and recent ones are significantly lower, about 82, so I've took average (85) as an overall rating. |
