I was a member briefly a few years back. The site hadn't been updating for a while, so I did not stay. Technically, the material was mostly poor to awful, but I found the content hot. After a while the site then went completely dead.
Now I see it's been taken over and brought back and I wonder if anyone has checked it out recently. I imagine a lot of the old content is there, but I'm wondering about the newer material.
The live cams on MET Art are what got me to subscribe to that site a few years ago, and I'm still a member, even though their cam section changed for the worse. I now spend a great deal of time on MyFreeCams visiting with the same models I got to know when they were doing shows on MET Art.
Now we all know that movies are not the primary draw at MET Art, but I've enjoyed some of them a lot. Up to now, the movie viewer has been the site's weak point. At one point in the past there was a seek bar, but then even that was disabled. Even in the larger size, you couldn't watch at anything like HD. All that is in the past.
As of yesterday, Met Art has a very nice JWPlayer for watching the movies, and we can now watch them in HD, when that resolution is available for the video and in full-screen. It's about time, but it's a welcome addition.
NB: They're having some technical issues with it at this moment, but when I logged in this morning for my daily perving, it worked great. :)
Some sites downsample the video. At MyFreeCams, the site I am most familiar with, for instance, no matter what the resolution of the model's cam, the output is always 320x240. You can resize the video, but the stream doesn't get any better. LJ streams at up to 800x600. Therefore, the same model's video feed will look much better if you are watching her on LJ than when you are watching on MFC.
Current Member for over 1 month (at the time of review).
Pros:
-Many, many American, European and Asian models online, including some pornstars like Aria Giovanni and Teagan Presley and nude models like Ashanti (MET) and Mullty (My18Teens, etc.)
-Great variety of models. Girl/girl, BBW, Glamour, Teenie, BDSM, Squirt, etc.
-You can see pretty much anything for free
-Terrific interface with tons of options
-Huge member community
-Model and member profile pages
-"No guys" on camera. Pro for me. YMMV.
-Daily spending limits (negotiable)
-Reasonably quick replies *most* to inquries, complaints
Cons:
-Privates are expensive.
-Camera, lighting, sound quality controlled by models and can vary greatly in quality.
-Frequent rudeness by members toward models and members. The price of a low membership cost.
-Rankings susceptible to manipulation (Most won't care).
-Inquiries, complaints occasionally ignored.
-You can spend a LOT of money there, which you may or may not have.
Bottom Line:
So I haven't been visiting here so often because I've been passing a lot of time at this site. If you find yourself with time on your hands and a few bucks, this is a great place to spend them.
You can experience most of the content without paying a penny, but it's really worth spending the US$19.99 to have access to the private/group shows, lounge, private messaging, model ratings, tipping of favourite models, etc.
Costs work out as low as ~$0.08/token after the first few purchases. Models/studios get US$0.05/tk. True privates: 80 tk/min (US$6.40). Open privates (chat hidden/sound & video open): 60 tk/min (US$4.80). Spying on open privates, no chat: 20 tk/min (US$1.60). Group shows: 10 tk/min (US$0.80).
Free shows: Free!
Tips: As much as you can afford and then some.
Some models don't do privates or groups, but prefer to entertain members in free chat and collect tips. They can also change their minds and only do privates with people they like.
Some models allow anyone to PM them for free, others are selective, and others request a tip for the privilege.
The lounge is the town square. You can view free shows, shoot the breeze, gossip about models, spy on privates and view group shows from there. It's mostly used to discuss models. You can link model names and other members can see a current snapshot of their room and a brief profile of the model.
My Free Cams is not the kind of place to depend on if you are PRIMARILY interested in private chat unless you have a lot of spending money. Many of the models are also listed on other sites that charge less for that privilege. It would probably be considered bad manners to ask a model if she did cheaper privates elsewhere, so do your own research.
The beauty of MFC is that you can spend hours (24/7) there chatting with (mostly) beautiful models in various stages of undress and in various stages of arousal without spending a penny, if you so choose. Models are doing this to make money, so tipping is always appreciated, and recommended, but it is not essential to the enjoyment of the site.
Models have extensive profiles where you can learn as much as they'd like for you to know about them and message walls where you can express your admiration. Members may also create profile pages if they like.
A site by geeks for geeks. The interface is the most sophisticated I've seen anywhere. The search function could use some improvement, but beside that the account management and other options are many and useful.
I really wish there was a decent hypnosis/mind control site. I agree that the stories are usually much better than anything that's currently on adult sites.
Back when Usenet was all that, I used to spend a lot of time on ASSM (Alt.Sex.Stories.Moderated) and RAE (Rec.Arts.Erotica). Some of the stuff was of the nasty CP variety, but there was a lot of quality, too. The best stuff is archived on the web, so I still visit assm.asstr.org occasionally.
Writing decent erotic stories is a lot harder than it looks. Back when I was a know-nothing, no-money teen, my primary source of porn was stuff I wrote myself involving my more attractive classmates, and it was the beginning of my fascination with girl/girl sex. I still, uh, enjoy, creating scenarios in my head involving my favourite models.
I don't go out of my way to read much anymore, though. These days, what I really like are porn scenes and photo sets that have a little story behind them. Viv Thomas is an example of a studio that strikes a good balance by not only having hot action, but establishing a relationship between the characters.
If they're *really* just trials, then they're great. If it's a scam site, then it's a scam site. I would only go for trials listed on TBP, and if anything goes wrong, that will reflect poorly on TBP.
I voted "other". It depends on the model, and on the level of contrast. On some girls, they can be cute, and on others a turnoff. As slutty says, they're less attractive on more voluptuous models. On younger models, they add to the "innocence" factor. Then again, younger models with smooth skin can look great with no tan at all.
I would be less annoyed with 21Sextury, et al, if, instead of making choose one package over another, we could just select X number of premium sites and Y number of second tier sites and make our own package.
Even if they restricted this to multiple-month memberships, it would be a big improvement. This is one of those companies where I enjoy the content, but am endlessly annoyed by the marketing.
The whole 21Sextury/Porn Pass for All maze of sites has me thoroughly confused. It's one of the reasons I haven't joined yet, even though there's probably enough content with either group to take a chance. Aletta isn't listed as an included site for either network at TBP, but if you go to Aletta, you see that it is part of "some" network.
Your best chance at getting this cleared up might be to send a note to the webmaster.
I've been a member at this site a couple of times and have enjoyed it very much. They have great models and somewhat racier content than MET, but it is a bit on the expensive side.
Even with fewer updates, I would consider an annual membership if the price was more in line with MET's, especially now that they have added public cam shows. That would be $100-120 a year they'd be getting out of me instead of $35 a year.
I like blogs, diaries, site news and other community features. Twitter feeds are fun, too. I wouldn't join a site just because the model or webmaster communicates a lot, but it's a plus. As far as comments, I would prefer that they be pre-moderated, as some people have poor manners.
It's not hard to figure out whether the site is for you. There are previews, and Sapphic Erotica themselves post 5-minute promotional clips on the tube sites.
I'm one of those g/g fans and found lots to like there. Of course not everything is a keeper, but with the sheer quantity of content you'll find on the site, there's something for every "mid/hardcore" g/g fan. I subbed for a couple of months this past spring and I plan to return in the future.
I don't think videos for very many sites were in HD until the last year and a half, so that's not really a fair criticism. The billing company to contact to cancel is the billing company that charged for the subscription. I signed up for a couple of months and had no doubt as to whom I had given my money to. If I sign up for 30 days, my next billing date is 30 days from the day you sign up. Any issues there sound more like user error than any fault of the site.
We didn't happen to snooze through our renewal, did we?
The hotel will not typically have a range of IPs for guests. The hotel likely has a single external IP that's part of a pool assigned to the hotel's ISP. Internally, the hotel's router will use a protocol known as DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) to assign IPs that look like 192.168.X.X on a local network, whether you are using wireless or wired access, the same way your router does at home. If you open a DOS window and type in "ipconfig /all", you will be able to see your local IP, which is invisible to anyone beyond the hotel's router.
If an IP is blocked, for whatever reason, all traffic from that IP is completely blocked. You won't even get as far as being able to input your user name, so the site isn't blocking you personally. It won't have anything to do with you having accessed the site from other locations.
That doesn't excuse 21Sex for having ignored your email, especially if you used the email account with which you subscribed.
I doubt they'll unblock the hotel's IP, since that would defeat the purpose of blocking Hungarian nationals. All users at the hotel share the same external IP. My favourite cam site does the same type of national blocking, but they do it model by model.
I've always been torn about ALS. On the one hand, there are some very beautiful and sexy models, and on the other hand there are all these insertions I don't care for at all. The last time I was a member there was a very long time ago. Are they still doing that speculum and zucchini stuff?
I think that it is their interest to support the browsers their customers use most. There aren't that many. I've had far fewer problems with porn sites than I have with many B2B websites.
