Most of the sets are older...and NOT exclusive but still very good
Looking around for something different, I saw this site on TBP and decided to give it a try. It is a high-glam solo or girl/girl site shot in the style of the late J. Stephen Hicks (Digital Desire, DDF, Babes.com, etc.) with mostly US porn stars. Unfortunately, it looks like the site is either recycling older material or is purchasing/sharing material from other sites. A few of the models with recent sets (Kayden Cross) have been retired for years and I have found at least several dozen sets that are not exclusive. New sets come out about every 3 days but I can't tell how much material is recycled. Image and video quality are excellent. Lots of insertion, spreading, eye-contact,etc. There are a few nice sets of amazing models that I have not seen elsewhere, like Lily Ivy and Uma Jolie and some newer sets of current pornstars. Overall, absolutely worth a one-month visit, but if you are a seasoned collector, you will have seen a few sets before.
I just rejoined this site and am really annoyed at how slow the downloads are. First download takes an hour and forget about queuing any other downloads up because they have a throttle allowing only one download at a time. Several times I queued up multiple downloads and only got the SBVR intro in the file and nothing else. The video quality is good and the girls are hot but the download issues are a deal killer for me.
Got an email yesterday that said ccBill accounts were being transferred because of the sale of Femjoy to Gamma. My annual subscription immediately stopped working. A chat with support didn't help other than they said the issue should be resolved in a day or two. I truly hope this isn't the beginning of the end for Femjoy.
I recently rejoined Joymii and it now seems seems to be for 100% non-downloading mobile users. Navigation is big-button easy until you want to download, say, individual images. To do this, as far as I can tell, you go to the thumbnail images in a set, click on an image, SCALE IT TO THE SIZE YOU WANT on a sliding scale-bar, guessing you got the size you want, then right click to download that image. Yes, you can download a whole set via a zip file, but I no longer download whole sets. Oh, and in Chrome, once you open an image, there are no visible buttons to navigate back (they are there but hidden). I am a long time annual subscriber to Femjoy, but this site is just too messed up, navigation-wise. Oh, and if that isn't bad enough, when I went to complain on the contact page (using both Chrome and IE), the SUBMIT BUTTON DOESN'T WORK!! What a cluster!
Several Porn stars have committed suicide (i.e. Savannah, August Ames). They were probably disturbed enough by their profession and situation to take thier lives. This really bothers me and I have deleted any material I had of them.
I have been an annual W4B subscriber for many years and have rated the site very highly. Well, they have slowly been pushing users to the "new mobile" site, so I switched over to it. BIG MISTAKE! Apparently, they think mobile users don't want to save images. You can't download ANYTHING from the mobile interface. You have to switch back to the old interface, which is sometimes days behind in terms of updates. Now, there are updates on the "new" mobile site that don't even appear on the "old" site, so you can't download those images or videos at all. Am I missing something? No, but W4B has. People want to download. I don't care how good the sets are, if I can't download the images I want, I will not remain as a member and will no longer give favorable reviews. If you download any images, you need to avoid this site until they fix the interface issues.
There are a few pornstars that have committed suicide but many sites continue to show their material. I can't really watch their stuff and haev a hard time understanding why the sites keep it.
My tastes range from 18 to 30-ish but I think it is also about the look of the model and whatever mood I'm in. For example, Femjoy has a potographer named Stefan Soell that takes very conservative images of OMFG beautiful women in their 20s. But there are also some a-MAZ-ingly beautiful tattoo covered women on Suicide Girls and some great 1st-person sex on POVD and the VR sites. The only category I am not that fond of is the traditional, more mature US porn stars and sites.
I got a "not trusted" vote by another reviewer because he did not agree with my review of one of his favorite sites. The no-trust was anonymous, but it could only have been one person as he also wrote a rebuttal to my review to the site flexy teens. He wrote "Inaccurate reviews" in the no trust comment. I even went back to the site and double checked everything I had said to make sure I wasn't misrepresenting it. (It was and I wasn't.) I responded to the rebuttal and responded to the no trust vote. Never heard from the guy again and as far as I can tell, he doesn't come to PU anymore.
The other factor is that any legitimate reviewer getting a no-trust rating has the potential to be discouraged and annoyed with the PU site. I can say that personally, I have been much less interested in writing reviews since this anonymous douchebag no-trusted me in January of 2018. I think everyone has a right to disagree, but a no-trust mark is permanent, universal and..can it even be reversed? That's just wrong.
I know I took this too personally, but as a top-20 reviewer who takes pride in my reviews, I really feel like that was a kick in the nuts. PU could have a better system. Other review/comment systems use thumbs up/thumbs down at the review level, with cumulate votes and the option to report. That seems to be much more fair.
I replied to Ladylover below, but I didn't want this to get lost in the responses. The $99 lifetime membership is a sleazy cash grab. I just chatted with support on Playboy Plus and, yes, to get ANY useful features (like the ability to download ANYTHING and actual HD videos), you need VIP, which is another $10 a month. SO....$99 for a half-assed lifetime subscription of limited use and duration and ANOTHER $120 a year to be able to download anything or get HD. TOTALLY DECEPTIVE!!!!!
I also just got a promotion for the $99 lifetime memership. Does anyone know if this is streaming only or if it includes downloads and HD? Even if it only lasts for two years, this seems like a decent deal, but not if it will cost me another $10 a month to be able to download anything.
Update: I just chatted with support on Playboy Plus and, yes, to get ANY useful features, you need VIP, which is another $10 a month. SO....$99 for a half-assed lifetime subscription of limited use and duration and ANOTHER $120 a year to be able to download anything or get HD. TOTALLY DECEPTIVE!!!!!
This site is one of the many BDSM sites in the Fetish Network and joining this site gives you access to the other sites in the network. I wrote a review of FN back in Februrary of 2017 that is still valid. FN has some OK stuff, but they do really dumb things like make it hard to cancel (cancel page makes a discount offer but doesn't actually let you cancel. You have to contact them for that.) and sign you up to other sites without consent. I just joined BrutalPOV and, true to form, I was charged $1 for something else even though I unchecked all of the cross-checks. Turns out they automatically sign you up for a site called fetishclub.com, which is a bunch of old psuedo-fetish videos in various categories. I ended up writing support to cancel both subscrtiptions so I won't have to screw around with this later. I just don't understand why these people screw over their subscribers like this. If you join this site, watch for other sign-ups and cancel them right away.
Am I the only one getting insanely slow downloads?
I did not renew my 1 year membership because the file download speeds from this site were so slow. (30-40 mins for 7gb and only one file at a time actively downloads). I decided to join back up and see that downloads are still slow. 1-file download speeds are 3-5mb/s. Download speeds for my set up peg at 200mb/s so it is not my cable company, LAN or PC. For comparison, WanksVR and BaDoink files both download at about 9-11mb/s. Is anyone else experiencing really slow downloads from SexBabesVR?
Hey. Thanks for the review. I have been a member of this and pretty much all the MA sites off and on (and some continuously) since they were new and never really thought of this as "glam porn", but I guess perhaps it might be. I've always thought of glam porn as that photography stuff in the early 2000s and earlier with heavily made-up models. (Playboy-soft and Penthouse-medium maybe) This is....something different...something that needs it's own defintion...which they tried to do with the name Sexart. But the idea that it is not hard, rough or in any way crude is dead-on correct. So let's come up with a new name! :-)
Oh, and depending on the device or browser you are using, you can make the text pretty big. :-))
There are a couple of rather gory shoots on Burning Angel, which I honestly skipped right by as soon as I realized what they were, but Horror Porn takes this to a new level... I mentioned elsewhere that I think this is some extension of monster-sex animation that is popular in some circles. There is a site that specializes in selling tools to create 3d porn animation, but I can't find it at the moment. That site has lots of monster models to purchase and include in animations and from what I can tell, the site is moderately successful. So maybe this is just a mental evolution for the type of person that does that.
I have to wonder......anal sex is moderately popular among heterosexual millenials because they have such easy access to porn and consider it a normal sex thing (I think) because they see it there. I wonder what this kind of stuff will bring to sex in general? Hopefully nothing.
Thanks for the review! I've never seen this site but from the previews it looks pretty specialized. As I'm sure you know "monster sex" is an odd but growing niche in the animation world so I guess it was only a matter of time before somebody adapted it into this format. There a few other very good cosplay VR sites and one or two pretty good BDSM VR sites, but I have to say this is the first time I've ever seen VR fuck-an-alien porn. Um. Eww. It is also probably worth mentioning that although this is VR, it is not all POV. Anyway, thanks for letting us know about this site!

Pros:
Very high quality material, often outstanding.
Beautiful, natural models
Some Met Art models but mostly unique models
Wide variety of sets, locations and models
Part of the Met Art network but a separate site
Good range of image sizes to view/download
Excellent G/G videos
Fast download speeds
Excellent site layout
Navigation is identical to Met Art (Excellent)
Met-Art single sign-on means you can get here from there without having to log in. Met Art network support is outstanding.
Cons:
Nothing major to list here.
Perhaps a few of the newer solo sets are a little soft in comparison. (Mostly new models)
Bottom Line:
Viv Thomas is primarily a lesbian site with a mix of about 80% lesbian sets and 20% solo sets within the more recent sets. Older sites include solo, boy/girl, some insertion, and lesbian. It became part of the Met Art network several years ago and Met Art has done a really good job of keeping it up.
For perspective, ALS scan is the other lesbian site in the MA network. The girls there are very young, very petite, carefree, happy to experiment and generally give off an almost childish vibe. Viv Thomas, on the other hand, is pretty much exactly what you expect from Met Art in a lesbian site. The women are much more refined, truly beautiful most of the time, and most of the videos and image sets are damn near perfect.
Stats (as of 1/20/2019. These are published on the site):
About 3125 photo sets
About 1881 videos
About 1142 models
4-5 updates a week
Sets are avalable all the way back to 2002!
All sets are dated.
All sets are scored.
Newer images and zips come in 3 sizes up to 3000x4500.
Videos come in multiple sizes and formats.
I haven't been a member of this site since Met Art took it over and I'm happy to say that although the overall feel has changed a little, the material puts this site up there toward the top of the Met Art stable.
Viv Thomas, now semi-retired, is an outstanding photographer and videographer who has produced a lot of award winning material for magazines, video production companies and on-line. His older stuff on this site is top quality for the time-frame and the models, damn near all of them, all the way back to 2002, are stunning and not at all shy. I'd say the older stuff parallels Twisty's or Danni's best from the period and the newer stuff is similar to MetArt-X in terms of showy photography. Nearly every solo set has spreading at least and every lesbian set portrays what I imagine is pretty genuine lesbian sex (i.e. these girls are not just standing together in the set, their fingers and tongues are inside each other.) The older sets include some world-class famous models like Sophie Moon, Veronica Zemanova and my all time favorite Marketa Belonoha. Newer sets include a lot of really popular MA models like Niemira and many beautiful models I don't see elsewhere on the MA network. What puts these sets apart from many others is that the early models like Veronica and Marketa are doing things like spreading that they never did in later shoots. And the later shoots are slightly different than what you would find on other MA sites. Make-up for example, makes some of the models like Niemira a little more alluring. Reall ynice job on all of this.
All of the videos on this site since about 2010 are at least 720P. Prior to that, they are 420p. Newer videos go up to 4k.
Navigation on the site is an exact copy of the main Met Art site with many user-adjustable options. Default image sizes, images opening in the same or a different tab, etc. I am very used to the MA navigation and may be a little biased, but I truly believe it is the best navigation system on the internet.
Met Art uses a single-sign on to their sites. Once you sign into a new site under it, you no longer have to log into that site individually. To facilitate this, there is a navigation pull-down that can get you to any of the sites in the network. There is also a "status" page that allows you to see all of your subscription details and you can even sign up for or cancel subscriptions right from this pull-down. This is a very nice solution to an often vexing problem.
OK, bottom line. Even if you are not a fan of lesbian porn, there is a LOT of excellent solo image material here dating back nearly TWO DECADES that you might like a lot. That includes nearly every big model name in porn photography over the last 18 years. The videos since about 2010 are also very diverse and mostly excellent. The only reason I won't give this a 90 or better is because they don't do daily updates, but given the inredible amount of material here, you could spend many, many hours looking through the old stuff on the days there are no new updates.
Look around for discount offers, but be aware that there are sometimes issues with the Met Art single sign-on when you try to sign up for offers made outside the network. If you find a low-price offer but the site doesn't list it because you already have an account within the Met Art network, contact support and they will work it out for you.
There is an entire subculture of pro and semi-pro girls milking wallets in return for images or whatever. The site Patreon.com is set up to support artists of various types, but it has a LOT of instagram, ex-Playboy and other models that will show you skin for money. (Remember Sara Underwood?) It is sort of a lazy version of a webcam site and it is set up like imgur, so the only way to find a girl is to get a link. Apparently, some girls make decent money posting short videos there. I was referred there by one model and her videos ranged from $5 to well over $100. (She is not a model I particularly want to see more of, but I was curious about the site.) I also saw that they try to get you to sign up to be a "recurring patron" which draws $5-50 a month from your funds so you can "support your artist". What a racket! The site was created to serve musicians but it looks like they found a very profitable niche in porn "patronage"..... Google "porn on patreon" to get a list of porn models with links there. Apparently Patreon is trying to crack down on the porn stuff because they want to launch an app, but it is all pretty interesting that this even exists.
For the most part, I enjoy 2.5 categories of porn. The first is softcore with unbelievable, young, generally untattood pro models like Met Art, MPL Studios, Watch4beauty and Femjoy. The second is POV and VR stuff where beautiful women are pretty much tasked with paying attention to the viewer and getting him/her off. The .5 category is this niche of beautiful women that you don't see anywhere else because they have tattoos. Many of them have beautiful, intricate, amazing, sometimes body covering tattoos. There are thousands of these women, with body types as diverse and as spectacular as anything on the sites I listed above. I've been a member of the strictly softcore and social-network site SuicideGirls off and on for years, but the site has changed since a relaunch and everything about it has improved. If you are curious, the SG thread on reddit is fairly representative of the images there, but the site is much more than just images. I humbly acknowledge that this is all about a middle-aged guy fantasizing about beautiful women that are more badass than anything I could ever handle, but, hey, isn't that why many of us are here? :-)
Nice review. It looks like a genuine and natural amatuer site. But a 97? Really? That is your 3rd highest review rating EVER out of several hundred reviews that include prety much every soft and hardcore site that ever was. Looking at the models and the available videos from this site, I am hard pressed to figure out why it rates so high. I suppose I will just have to join to find out. :-)
Hi. Beautiful is such a broad term that applies to many things including women. There is no word that falls between beautiful and perfect that applies only to women other than maybe goddess but that's kind of cheesy. A woman could be beautiful and still be about an 8 on the female scorecard, but most of these women are 9s or better and a few are 11s. Awesome natural figures, pretty faces, great form, grace, confidence and a mix of wonderful poses. Damn near perfect. There are a lot of sites out there that have women that are not particularly beautiful. I just wanted to be sure people know this is not one of those sites.
OK, the next time I see a special, I'll try to post a comment. I have seen them in the "deals" section on other sites in the past. If there were holiday specials, they are probably over now so next chance will be February.
Watch out for network discount offer issues if you are already a subscriber
I've been a member of Met Art for many, many years and have an annual subscription. I rotate through the other MA network sites and typically have 3-5 subscriptions at a time. I sometimes get highly discounted offers. However, whenever I try to sign up to a discounted offer, the Met Art system recognizes the cookies on my browser and something goes wrong. Either the offer changes to a higher price or I get an error. The last time this happened was when I got an internal trial offer for MetArtX with a subsequent discounted monthly rate. I signed up within the MetArt network and got an error on the approval page. I knew I was going to sign up for longer, so I just went ahead and signed up for the monthly discounted rate using a different browser and email and billing method. Worked. 2 months later I realized I was being double billed for MetArtX as the original sign up that gave me an error had actually cleared. The problem then was that I did not know which account was attached to my single sign-on, so I reached out to MetArt help to see if they could resolve the issue and maybe make it right. That was nearly 3 weeks ago and all I have from them so far is a "We're working on it." I was just billed for one of the accounts again, so I cancelled both of them, one through the MetArt singl-sign-on and one through Epoch because the login credentials didn't work. Now....I really like this network and will probably be a subscriber until I'm dead, but not being able to take advantage of discount offers without signing up from a different browser with different credentials because you are already a subscriber to a site on the network is just rediculous. I just reviewed a couple of the MA sites and was about to re-review Met Art (for the 4th or 5th time), but I think I will wait until they respond to this issue so I can include it in the review.
Update: The support folks responded and, after looking into the issue, sign-up timing and billing records, refunded all of the double billing and gave me access to the site of my choice for a couple of weeks for my troubles. They also recommended that I contact them before signing signing up with a discounted rate so that they could make sure it goes smoothly. They came through, as I expected. I'll comment again if there are any significant issues with adding sites under the single-sign-on process again.
Current Member for over 1 year (at the time of review).
Pros:
Still one of the top 5 softcore sites on the Internet.
Models are 18-25-ish, generally petite Europeans.
Lots of popular European models plus a bunch of newbies and exclusive models.
Very nicely done sets and videos.
Set management is among the best in the business (make-up, lighting, wardrobe, location, atmosphere, image quality and composition are all superb.)
Most of the models are beyond beautiful.
Models are generally not shy, most are quite open and model Eye contact is excellent.
Nice mix of full-body and close-up shots.
All of the models appear to be enjoying themselves!
The previews are highly representative.
Usually one new set or video daily.
All sets are dated
Thumbnails are on a single page for each set. (Thank you!)
Redesigned site provides excellent design and navigation.
Cons:
Not much to list here...I have to dig deep to find things:
Browsing is single thread from updates page to model-set page to individual images. No new windows for sets, thumbnails or images.)
These are all REALLY minor things, though.
Some might not like that there is no comment section for each model, but seeing how that tends to get abused at other sites, I don't blame the webmaster for that decision at all.
Bottom Line:
I've had an annual subscription to this site for several years, now and have never once regretted it. Gorgeous models, really well done sets and excellent overall. Customer service when I contacted them was prompt, helpful and courteous. Billing is
This site has been around since 2003 and the collection is pretty massive. At last count, there were about 328,000 images and over 725 videos. 1 set a day would put it at around 5400+ sets. Older sets are very well done but not quite as revealing and the resolution is not quite as high. (A few sets prior to about 2008 are non-nude or partially nude.) There appear to be nearly 400 models, the vast majority of whom are simply stunning. All of the models are completely natural. I see a lot of sites where the model ratings are artificially inflated to 9. Not here. Here they are nearly all true 9s...or better.
Images come in four sizes both for viewing and 3 sizes in zip files: 1200, 2000, 4000 on the long side. Older sets are at least 1200 and 2000.
As I mentioned above, the sets are excellent. I can't really recall seeing anything I didn't like. The girls are happy, friendly and open. Lighting, focus, composition, etc. are excellent.
This is generally a solo-girl softcore site, but there is a toy occasionally and some of the video sets include masturbation. Girls usually start out clothed or partially clothed but many of the outdoor sets start out completely nude.
Newer sets are usually about 80-120 images each, which is more than many other sites. Some older sets are a bit smaller. Older sets are also a bit more conservative, although the imagery is just is good. Some older sets are also continuations (I.e. 30 shots in one release and 30 more from the same set sometime later), but it isn't enough to be a bother and they don't seem to do that anymore.
Note that many European models have a different name on this site. If you are looking for a particular model, start with one of the global model listings to see if she is on this site. If she is on Met-Art of Femjoy, chances are good that she is here, too.
The videos, which come out about once a week, are probably better than many of the comparable sites in this niche. They break the videos down into 3 ratings: Lifestyle, Sensual and Explicit. The first category might be BTS or travel with a model. Sensual videos are bed, shower or similar model showcases, And the explicit vids are just that. You either get a view of every inch of the from pretty much every angle or they are masturbation videos. One main model, Karissa Diamond, has over 700 videos covering all three categories and I'm pretty sure she has video proof that she has gotten naked or gotten herself off in every major city in Europe. Life would be so much mor fun if there were a Guinness record for that....
All sets are properly dated and although there is no flat out recycling, occasionally there are "Director's cuts" that provide a new mix of images from an older set of a popular model. Every set all the way back to 2003 is unique as far as I can tell. The girls in those "new old stock" sets are gorgeous enough for you not to mind at all.
Another really nice thing is that the highest resolution of each image is native. An image displayed in 4000 was actually shot in 4000 or higher. (Occasionally you may find a low-light inside set shot near the ISO limits of the camera, which tends to make the largest images a little grainy, but that's not because of resizing.) Older shots at 1600, 2000 or 3000 were shot in that and not resized. there isn't a single fuzzy or obviously up-sized image on the entire site as far as I can tell! Kudos to the team for that!
About the only negative I can find on the entire site, and it is a truly tiny negative, is the single threaded browsing. No new windows open when you drill down. This is probably to keep the website traffic down, but I prefer the Met-art style where images appear in their own windows. Yes...I can type a key while clicking to open pages in a new window, but it seems like it should be a preference setting. Otherwise, navigation is very good. Once in a set, all images are presented on a single page and you have forward, back, thumbnail and open image in any available size options.
Bottom line: If you like the Met-Art, Femjoy or Watch4Beauty sites, you will really like this one. It easily rates up there with the best. There are occasional specials, but even at $29 it is a good deal and the annual rate of $99 is one of the best annual rates out there. This site gets my highest recommendation.
