Pros:
-Note: I've been a member of Adult Time since October 2018. But the Bare Maidens channel was only recently added to the Adult Time network, probably in the last month. So when PU asks me to list how long I've been a site member, I'm not sure if I should enter 11 months, or 1 month. No big thing, just a trivial issue.
-Part of the Adult Time network. The Adult Time network is probably the finest harcore network available. This is due to:
-the massive backlog of content (videos + photosets). Over 50,000 videos covering a wide variety of niches.
-The excellent sites/networks included in the Adult Time network: 21 Century sites, Devils Film network, Girls Way network, as well as formerly stand-alone sites like Pure Taboo, Analized.
-A low membership price. PU has a discounted price of $19.85 (recurs at $14.95/mo.) for Bare Maidens.
But if you wait for a holiday special, you can probably get a year-long membership for under $90 to the Adult Time network.
Cons:
PROS(CONTINUED):
-Site features exclusive content. The videos are fantasies of gorgeous girls satisfying themselves or other girls in a role-playing mode, where the girls are warriors, enchantresses, fairy-tale maidens in a sexual situation. A lot of the video time is spent on the plot, instead of the sex. So if you're not into stories, fast-forward to the sex, which is softcore or mid-core. The site is for fans of fantasy, so if the story does not appeal to you, the site is probably a waste of time, in spite of the lovely models that are featured.
-The models range from attractive to very attractive.
-Can stream or download the videos in 160p through 2160p.
-There is a trailer for each video, to show you what the video is about.
CONS(START OF):
-The version of Bare Maidens that Adult Time offers is a slimmed down version of the actual site.
Adult Time has 9 Bare Maidens videos, with a new upcoming video loaded every 7 days.
So the Adult Time version is like a sample of the original.
Bottom Line:
CONS(CONTINUED):
The standalone Bare Maidens site is small, with about 140 videos.
-As part of the trend of Adult sites dumping on previous members, if you are a new member to Adult Time (and many other porn sites) you will be eligible for many membership discounts. But if the site software recognizes you are a previous member, then the discount will not be available to you, and you will be presented with a higher membership price. That's common for many porn sites.
I've clicked on many discounted offers to a porn site, and, because the site software recognized (from a cookie or my email address) that I was a previous site member, the discounted price was not available to me, but a higher membership price was shown.
BOTTOM LINE
The Bare Maidens site was started in early 2006. It's now 2019, 13 years later. But the site is still small, with only 140 videos. This is because of a slow, irregular update rate. I'm guessing the site never made a lot of money, to support the site. The site is focused on fantasy themed content for adults. The videos have a short plot leading up to a sexual encounter, either a woman by herself, or a woman with another woman or woman-guy encounter.
The role play element is what sells the site: the models are attractive to very attractive, and the videos in the last few years are shown in 1080p up to 2160p.
There are also 102,523 high resolution photos.
The site seems to have been bought by the Adult Time network, which currently features 9 Bare Maiden videos, with one new video to be posted to the Adult Time version every 7 days for the next month or more.
Hopefully, Adult Time will support the Bare Maidens site, so that both old and new videos from the site will be posted at the Adult Time version.
What do you get at the site?:
Videos featuring erotic fantasy plots. The budget is limited, so this is probably a labor of love by the site owners. But they are able to hire attractive models who dress up as female warriors, enchantresses, whatever, who have a short sexual encounter with another female or male.
The sex is kind of mild, lesbian or straight, but the fantasy element, the costumes, locations (in woods, or castles), the professional photography, create an interesting vibe to the sex.
I've said it many times, but to enjoy most porn, you have to let your brain accept the fantasy or plot or you get no enjoyment from the porn.
The models are lovely, and this is a nice take on worlds of wonder with a bit of sex thrown in.
Watch the sample preview video at the site to see if the content is to your taste.
The site owners have put a lot of time and effort into making these videos and photosets.
They've drawn maps, arranged costumes, swords and daggers, and found a lot of very attractive models to film in these settings of forest, castle, dungeon.
As an add-on the Adult Time network, the site adds a nice fantasy element to the network.
I hope the Adult Time network supports the site, by adding more backlog videos, and creating more future videos for the site.
I'm giving the Bare Maidens Adult Time version of the site a score of 85.
The idea of fantasy erotica is nice, but this site, because of the small size, is only a taste.
The models are attractive.
But the content needs to grow a lot before the site deservers a higher score.
If you are a member of Adult Time, you can use the network to view about 9 Bare Maiden videos.
If you like the videos, then you could subscribe to the Bare Maiden site itself.
However, I would suggest a monthly sub. A yearly sub would probably be wasted money, since the past update rate was very slow and irregular, and you have no idea how many new videos would be posted during a year-long membership.
But since I got the truncated version of Bare Maidens free as an Adult Time add-on, I was more than happy with the Bare Maiden videos that I had access to.
The models are mainly attractive to very attractive, the videos are professionally shot, the fantasy element adds a nice flavor to the videos.
I'm giving the abbreviated Adult Time Bare Maidens site/channel a score of 85.
That is very subjective.
If you're not a fan of softcore fantasy, the site would have less value for you.
If the Adult Time site loads more content from the Bare Maidens site, the score would rise.
Or, over time, as the Adult Time Bare Maidens channel adds more videos, the score would rise.
Note: I am calling the Bare Maidens channel of Adult Time a softcore or midcore site: because the sex is mild. But there is lesbian activity, there is man-woman sex, so someone new to porn could call the site hardcore porn.
Or you could just call it a hardcore porn site, with very mild sex.
Note: A listing of the current models appearing in videos at the Bare Maidens channel on the Adult Time network appears in the first reply to this review.

Pros:
Very unique content. The costumes and attention they've paid to developing their own erotic World of Warcraft/Game of Thrones style world is seriously impressive.
Video quality - outstanding. Up there with the quality of filming and sets you'd expect from a big budget operation. The 'acting' isn't necessarily great (reminds me of the old days of porn when actors actually had to deliver lines!), but it's endearing and kind of fun that they get into the concept.
Wide range of models, and body types (flat-chested, large breasted, there's all). Quite a different selection of models too - definitely not the familiar faces that appear on many Euro sites (Met-art network etc). Some seriously hot women here.
Photo quality is also not to be scoffed at. A lot of the newer sets are photos shot at the same time as the corresponding video, but there's also a lot of 'stand alone' sets.
Download speed as good as any other site I've used. No caps as far as I can tell.
Cons:
The navigation isn't great. I was questioning whether to join up on the basis of the low quality website you can see on the tour. There's a few quirks like when you log in, if you hit 'home' you end up on the public-facing home page, and have to get back into the members section.
But, there's a note (not sure from when) that they're planning to update the site. I think it's a good idea that will really increase the profile of the site.
There's not many updates of late - i.e. one each in Jan, March and April 2016. I hope it isn't a sign of the site winding down. The flip side is that the updates are great - e.g. April is a 26 min 1080p threesome scene. But, there's a great archive so you'll get your money's worth there even if the updates are few at present.
Bottom Line:
Genuinely surprised at how good the content on offer is here - and that they're not more well known! They're obviously pulling off some good work on a small budget. Really hope they keep it going.

Pros:
superb picture quality and video quality is excellent in later videos. Mix of formats further back, f4v, wmv. Pics are huge and some pussy shots on full size are delicious...you can see every fold of skin in the most amazing detail!
Cons:
slow downloads. some video files can be as much as 1.5gb in size so make sure your hdd can handle it.
Bottom Line:
I find this an excellent site with superb quality content for this niche. Beautiful girls outdoors and indoors in a mix of corsets, long skirts and dresses, battle armour and also sack cloth all of which comes off by end of scene, and also a fair few swords and knives too. No lingerie whatsoever!

Pros:
-Good Quality photos high Resolution 2958x4000, sharp, well lit, rich color, high contrast. One of the best quality photos I've seen. Around 670 sets.
-Videos have the same quality as the photos. Videos range from 720p to 1080p. Later ones being 1080p. Around 60 videos
-Models look great. The way they are photographed and have their hair and makeup done make them look better then on other sites. Using Sara James as an example aka Ara on this site, a model I've seen on other sites like Nubiles, twistys, Alsscan. This site literally present models in their best light.
-Fantasy Theme is nice. The armor pieces and other costumes seem to look authentic. The overall theme gives the models more personality.
Cons:
-Not many videos. Site is mainly Photos.
-The Site itself is not the best looking site in the world.
-Models have Pseudonyms.
-Links don't expire but there are times you have to reload the links when downloading.
Bottom Line:
This site is mainly a softcore photography site. There are some videos and photos with hardcore content. I would not say it is ultra softcore ie MET art because they do have models masturbating, and with closeup spreads although some photosets are that way.
The photos are some of the best quality I've seen. It would be great if they updated more then 12 times a month.
The videos are mostly masturbation scenes. A couple are hardcore. They usually consist of an intro of the model walking around or doing something . Then it goes into the solo action. Videos are accompanied by music which may not be a plus.
The only thing that is holding this site back is the amount of updates. It would be great if they had daily updates. The quality of the photos are great, rivaling and topping some more well known sites. If you like softcore Photography this site is definitely worth a try.

Pros:
-Bill through CCBill.
-Inexpensive considering the high quality photos and videos and the size of the site.
-Downloadable videos are true HD 1920x1080, 4220 kbps. Crisp, clear and beautiful.
-Zip downloadable photosets. The better quality option comes in at 3450x4000.
-Mostly if not all American pornstars listed by first name only.
-Huge website. They claim it has 33 movies and 66,536 photos. I could not find that many videos, but this may be the true number. See below for comments about this.
Cons:
-No choices as to video format. FLV is what you get. You may need a new video player for that as most will not work with these videos.
-Most videos have a long introduction to the sex part. Makes for huge files on your hard drive.
-Many of the photos are not all that explicit. Very softcore fantasies for the most part. In all fairness there are also some that include sex.
-Many photosets are so artistic that you may think they forgot that you came to the site to see women, not special effects.
-No way to search. The only way content is listed is under the model's name.
-Updates are not dated nor are they easy to find.
The site claims updates every three days and this is impossible to verify.
Bottom Line:
This site is so unique that I feel it has no competition. It creates a fantasy world similar to that of Lord Of The Rings, Dungeons and Dragons, and World of Warcraft.
The action takes place on the planet Arta, and features its women who seek the power called Magice. They mostly get it by masturbating, but also from sex with both men and women. As a result, the site mostly features masturbation scenes in the videos. The photos are mostly nudes and stripping to nudity from outfits that come from this fantasy genre. Some examples are helmets, cloaks, and chainmail.
Sounds wonderful so far, but this site has a few flaws. One is that it is difficult to find the downloadable videos as they don't have a separate section. There is a link called "Theatre", which features streaming low quality videos. Read Maggies review and you will see she thought there were no videos to download. I don't think I got them all as I found 24 and the site claims 33.Considering the size of the site, navigation just should not be this difficult.
Downloads are slow on Internet Explorer, using IDM, about 500 to 600kbps. On Mozilla I used DTA and got about the same. I asked the webmaster about this and he claimed the usual speed is over 1MB per second. I also tried Google Chrome with IDM and got the speed he claims is usual.
Another problem is that the videos come in only one format-FLV. The webmaster suggested using Adobe Movie. Adobe's website states that the program has not been available since last December. I tried to find FLV players on the web, but none worked all that well. Eventually I converted the videos to WMV and lost a lot of the quality in the conversion. This took hours of effort on my part.
You may not care about all of this if your reason for joining is the photosets. The quality is most definitely first rate, although I thought most of the photos were more about the fantasy world than erotic. I did not join to see artistic special effects. There are a lot of photosets, as the site is more a photo one than a video one. Five years worth of updates makes for plenty to look at.
I give this site high scores for creativity, the high quality of both photos and videos and sheer size. If they only made the videos easier to find as well as downloadable in WMV or even AVI, this site could easily be worth in the 90's.

Pros:
+Exclusive photos of hot American babes
+large sized pics usually at 4000px
+zips available of two sizes (but see the con's)
Cons:
-just 111 galleries total so far; site's been up since May 2006; updates about every three days
-Medieval theme, sometimes with weapons, "sorcery" photo effects, masks or face paint or smudges of soil, etc. on the models
-zips are a pain: often they don't download properly the 1st time and you have to redo them once or even twice, replacing the first incomplete download
-only two pic sizes: elvish 1000's or Grendel-sized 4000's
-blurriness in pics sometimes
-tacky, "late 90's" web design
Bottom Line:
If you'd like to see American girls in a medieval fantasy theme, you might well enjoy such depictions of Alektra, Courtney Cummz, Cytheria, Jayna Woods, Mia Rose, MaryAnn (a blond with a very nice ass and sweet personality), Phoenix Ray, Tavia Spizer, etc.
Often, the girls and their charms are not upstaged by the "effects" mentioned in the con's, but sometimes the heavy "blue light" immersion or other photoediting tricks do detract from the primal, beastly enjoyment.
I'd say let the girls work their natural magic on us and leave it at that.
But on the positive, I must say that it's pretty rare to get photos at 4000px size of these girls. For that, this site should be commended.
I'd rate it several points higher if they'd fix the zips, have more consistently clear large pics and have a medium pic size, such as 1280 or 1500.
