I'm figuring/hoping it's a mistake - when at the Femjoy joining page, not only does it happily offer me the $19.95 price, it also offers (actually pre-checks :|) Joymii @ $15 - or the equivalents if I change to £.
Well, I'm not quite as principled as you on the topic, Cap'n; eg your recent comment on Watch4Beauty, the couple of extra dollars is annoying but not enough to keep me from subscribing - the $15 PU price is already good, so I'm not complaining too much about it being $17.
In this case, though, equating $ with £ is too much...
Thanks for a comprehensive answer :) They are fairly similarly positioned, and your details confirm that; I was trying to figure out why I'm drawn to one rather than the other. I think it comes down to:
* Purely aesthetically, I like the colours and the camerawork I see on Joymii more;
* X-Art seems to be very focused on models 18-20 with very few outside that range; Joymii seems to be slightly broader which again appeals to me a bit more
I'm definitely looking for something with a little b/g material - they both look good sites, but Joymii is the one on my list to join!
I concur - I'm not generally into hardcore but like it occasionally and this site is high on my list. From what I've seen, I agree with you about the lighting and colours - it has a clean, modern feel which sets it apart from much other porn.
I guess this is similar to X-Art but for some reason I am more drawn to Joymii, it seems to have more character - have you joined both?
Just happened upon this site from the webmaster's notes in the news section. Looks like it has models with a wide diversity of shapes, ages and ethnicities - could be on my list for when I'm looking for some amateur material. Anyone tried it?
Further to my recent review here on PU and the official one on TBP - I thought it was worth noting that if you are a fan, Lexi Belle features quite heavily on this site.
I count approx 30 photo sets and 20 videos - all with her in a rather different light to mainstream material and some girl-girl. She also hosts about 10 chat-show style interviews with other porn stars, which are fun!

Pros:
- Original, glam-fetish style content
- Lots and lots of fishnets, lingerie, boots
- Many well-known porn stars
- Fun and varied videos
- Tightly edited, concise photo sets
- I discovered B&W can actually be raunchy and erotic
- Frequent updates - approx 5 per week
Cons:
- Very basic search and no tagging
- Some material out-weirds me
- Older videos are not HD
- Many videos rely too much on music soundtrack
- Max pic size of 1600px could be better
- Many will think the photo sets too small
- A few more enhanced boobs than I'd prefer
Bottom Line:
This is a site which had been on my list to try for quite some time; I kept sidelining it since it kind of scared me, but I was eventually won over by the presence of many fetish models I like - eg Jade Vixen, Emily Marilyn, Darenzia and even Dita von Teese. And it turns out that I really shouldn't have worried since it has some really great, original, and sexy material.
A look at the site will probably reveal what scared me about it - there is some heavy makeup, sometimes tidy, sometimes smeared over the model's face and hands; some with their faces fully painted or their whole body covered in glitter. As haagar mentioned - be sure to read his review too - it gets weirder, with some sets focused around the toilet, peeing, or models covered in blood (!) But that's only part of it; and there's just as much material at the milder end of the glam fetish theme - there are lots of heels, nylons, fishnets, boots, corsets and lingerie and the models look in control, assertive, and sometimes dominant... all things that appeal to me. As does the softer material here - more typical glamour shots, beds, lingerie etc - but still in the photographer's same style.
There are roughly 1000 photo sets here, going back to 2006. They are lean, with an average of maybe 25 photos per set; many folk would find that too small, but in the hands of a good photographer, as Richard Avery certainly is, I consider it a plus; they are pruned, tightly edited to leave every shot a good one. Many of the pictures are quite stark, and I think that 100+ pics in a set would lessen the impact; but it's a shame they are only offered at 1600px, which for me is the bare minimum; I'd rather have seen 3-4K.
Some sets have the context of a location but quite a lot are on plain studio backgrounds, some are grainy and many are black and white - themes I usually dismiss as being too arty and boring, but here there's a rawness that makes even these far more interesting. Although there's no hardcore as such - an occasional set featuring the photographer's hand, perhaps - it's otherwise quite explicit, with most sets featuring masturbation, and there are a lot of upskirt shots - usually without the skirt, but you get the idea/angle. The models have a big part in making it so interesting; About 100 or so, including a lot of well-known porn stars (I particularly liked Bobbi Starr, Zoe Britton, Michelle Maylene & Tori Black), but not quite as you've seen them before; there's a quality of it being obviously more glam and staged; but somehow also more real, than typical porn.
Videos have a similar theme, although there's quite a variety - again plenty of quite explicit, raw masturbation, sometimes with toys; some girl-girl but also some BTS and interviews - recently they are shown in a very professional-looking chat show format hosted by Lexi Belle (who incidentally has a lot of material here, if you are a fan). As with the pictures, some are B&W, some grainy, some even with a night vision camera; but not at the expense of being too arty, it's still very erotic. There are about 500 videos from maybe 3-15 minutes - the older ones are quite small, at 640x360 - they are actually pretty sharp considering and look good; but many of them have no sound, just a music soundtrack. It's a mixture of ambient/trippy/grungy/spooky music, which is far better than the supposed sexy music we get elsewhere; but not having sound doesn't really work for me. The approx 100 most recent ones are HD720, but apart from the size, they emphasise more on the model talking/groaning etc and are far more interesting.
Although the style is very different, I feel this has a lot in common with Ed Fox's Foot Factory - another great photographer who shoots porn stars with a quirky, slightly underground-y style; but although I like the material at both, the quality and updates here make it by far the better site. Even if I didn't like the material as much, I'd still score this in the 80s, since it's good to see somebody doing something so unique and fresh. But as it is, although perhaps only the tamer half of it works for me, work it does, hence the score - just the lack of a better search and bigger pictures keeps it from being higher in the 90s.
The update thumbnails should give you an idea of what to expect; if the style appeals, this comes very highly recommended.
Not at all - I'd say it's roughly 2:1 Photo sets to videos. The size of the sets doesn't bother me at all - Ellen Stagg does similar size sets at Stagg Street, a favourite site. It just means the photographer has spent some time editing the set down to the best shots - with a good photographer you respect that decision and the sets are better for it.
And here especially, the pictures are quite stark - I feel they would lose the edge if there were too many of them in a set. The sets are zipped, but only go up to 1600px; I'd have preferred a bit higher res.
Just signed up here (it's not all *quite* as outlandish as the home page suggests) - review to follow but if it's on anyone's list, clicking through to CCBill rather than the default Epoch gives you a $25 price instead of $30. Er, not that I'm a cheapskate or anything...
Agree about the recent updates - in the last year or so's material, I think they've tried to include more natural girls, and lose some of the daft outfits and cheesy settings in favour of nice clothing and natural looking sets. And I agree that there's so much material, it doesn't really make sense to worry over the bits we don't like! (BTW another reply to you under my PP review)
Sounds like you found it much the same as I did! Perhaps something for everyone, but spread a little thinly. As you said, not much in the way of (nice) lingerie there, you know where I'll send you for that ;)
If you need a little inspiration, I found fun videos from the following models with good personalities: Darcy Tyler, Helena Handbasket, Holly West, Robbye Honeck, Kimberly, Liz, Megan
Hmm... a quick tally from my admittedly inexpert eye (some are quite convincing!) makes me think probably just under half - 40-45%? - of the models here have fake boobs.
That sounds like a lot - but again, this is a big site, with hundreds of models - so you'll likely find some that you like, and there are some good strips, teasing and lingerie, followed up by showing what's underneath.
If you've joined either of the other two sites mentioned, I'm pretty sure you'll see similar content to here. For me there are just enough natural girls here to warrant a one-off subscription.
Your review of All Over 30 was interesting, thanks - and I think I know what you mean by 'mainstream glam' - (actual) pearl necklaces and the like :| Do you think I'd find much else there that I didn't here?

Pros:
- A lot of material
- Daily movie and gallery updates
- Reasonably good navigation options
- Most models in 30s & early 40s, which works for me
- Good movie quality; streaming, download options and screen caps
- Some good/protracted strips from casual and business attire
- Would prefer a camerawoman rather than man for the interview/chat movies
Cons:
- Age of models (some under 30) may stretch 'OW' for some
- Slightly retro design (although front end has been updated; am sure member area will follow)
- Very typical lighting/sets/premise for all scenes
- Many models a little too enhanced for my taste, and relatively few unshaved
- Very little girl-girl content
- Could use a few more navigation options
- Older movies are lower quality and split into parts.
- Some daft fake uniforms and hackneyed outfits (newer sets are redressing this, thankfully)
Bottom Line:
Looking for girls up to around my own age (40), it was a choice between this, Anilos and All over 30. They all look similar and suspect they offer similar content; the quality of samples I found on TGPs just tipped the scales in favour of Karups OW. (Interestingly, they include bonus content from, and link some models to, the other two sites.)
There is a lot of material here, it's a bit daunting at first! On top of that, they add a new movie AND a new photo set 6 days a week, so it is growing at a good rate. Navigation is fine; 4 categories of pictures and two of movies - although with the amount of material, we could use more, and/or the ability to sort each list by model name or date added.
Most of the material is soft, with maybe a quarter hardcore; the latter isn't really my thing, but actually the scenes are relatively well-positioned and I enjoyed them. Of the softcore, it's probably about 50/50 between toys and fingers; and there are some good strips and teases before getting to that point. Only a handful of girl-girl shoots and movies; I'd like to see more.
Movies are good quality, sharp and well-lit (even if slightly saturated) - 720p and each page shows a few download options and screen caps of the action, which is useful. This format goes back about a year and a half (a bit less for the screen caps); before that, the movies are mostly SD and many are only available in parts. Image quality is OK; available in 1024px and 1500px which is just about acceptable; I'd prefer 2000px.
I was quite disappointed that so many of the models have fake:
- boobs (I'm no expert but could spot these a mile away)
- tans (and the lighting makes them look even more orange)
- smiles (only the minority of models show their personality and a range of expressions)
Natural is always better in my book, but it seems this is endemic in the milf genre. Similarly, I like a mixture of pubic hair arrangements; shaved, trimmed or natural - although I do prefer the latter and there are very few unshaved girls here. Am hoping it tells them something that the hairiest girl I found is their 4th top model! (Am planning to join We Are Hairy at some point to redress the balance.) OTOH, it's a little churlish to complain, given the quantity of material here.
Overall, nothing groundbreaking here but a good site nonetheless. Although I'm only staying one month, I've definitely got my $30 worth; I will likely join again sometime, but will probably try the other two sites beforehand.
Thanks for the review! I'm quite fond of this model too, for the reasons you state - she has a cute girl-next-door appeal, combined with a knack really filthy chat :) Looks like the site needs a bit of time to develop; one to bear in mind but it sounds like I'm probably better off joining other sites where she features for now.
Well, I'm not so much into the male-bashing thing - femdom/humiliation doesn't really work for me. But I just find a bit of racy chat in a solo video - eg the girl talking (graphically) about what she's doing, what she likes etc - is far more exciting than the bland music they usually throw over the top instead.
Can't speak as to the quantity/quality of the site, but it's good to see something from this cute girl who appears on a number of UK sites.
Although younger than the kind of models I tend to like, she is blessed with a rather filthy mouth, which may work for some folk (it does for me ;) ) Either this site or others that feature her are worth checking out if you prefer raunchy chat in videos rather than insipid BGM.
I'm a bit more egalitarian about nylons. I absolutely agree with everything you say about the allure of stockingtops and suspenders - although I enjoy porn, my first love is pinup, and if you look up eg photographer Viva Van Story and model Mosh, you'll see what I mean.
But... I also think pantyhose are a very different, but exciting kind of tease; when worn with no panties, the sheerness both hides and shows what's underneath - and specifically when a model is unshaved, I find that very appealing.
Hey messmer... another good review, thanks. Further to your last reply, I'm a bit more lenient with nylons, I like both tights and stockings, but as a bit of a pin-up and retro fan there's no denying the allure of stockings, suspenders, girdles and the like (and I'm not even fifty!). But just a shame that the videos here don't have much tease - that's surely what this kind of thing is about.
Thanks for the review, which I read with interest, although my own interest in latex is a little milder and doesn't go as far as the full body and face variety. But looking at this site, and some others you've reviewed, I can see the appeal...
Thanks for another great review, tangub - this site has popped up on my radar as I'm a big fan of nylon, either tights or stockings, and the idea of both is actually an interesting novelty.
However, it sounds like it would be too frustrating... sure, I like a tease but I prefer it to go somewhere! And although seeing the model's pussy through sheer nylon works for me as well as full nudity, it sounds like it's the exception here.
A shame... I'm still looking for a good, erotic, nylon-themed site.
It's hard to tell from the previews, but it looks like Layered Nylons might at least have models with nothing under sheer nylon - which actually really works for me, as much as nude.
There's also Art Lingerie which is nude - I find the preview material a little too glossed over but it's tentatively on my list...
I think at least some of the sites show a little more? Eg Only Secretaries shows some toplessness on their home page, but I'm not sure if it goes any than that. I love teasing but agree that it would be frustrating if we didn't get to see some naughty bits eventually...
