It used to be that if you were a member of one of the MetArt sites, you could join any of the other sites for $10/month.
Then, about a month ago, I posted a comment that maybe that discount was disappearing. Because sometimes I could find the link to the discount page, and sometimes it seemed to disappear.
This last week I couldn't find that link for $10 memberships, but found a new link to a $20/month membership to join any other site in the MetArt network.
Now it appear that link is gone, and the only links I can find are offers to join any of the other MetArt sites for $30/month, which is the regular price. No discount.
However, if you search around, and are lucky, you can find some links to join one of the MetArt sites for a discounted price, of $20 or less.
OK. I found a link to subscribe to one of the sites for $9.99/month (SexArt). And during the sign-up process, they offered me choices to sign up to any of the other sites in the MetArt network for $10/month. I signed up to Rylsky Art and The Life Erotic. It's only money. Too many sites, not enough time to go through them. But the price is cheap enough, and I'm tired of hunting for discount links to join these sites.
PS: I know many of the models at Rylsky Art are also at MetArt, but I'm falling in love again. Many of these models are incredibly gorgeous.
Rylsky Art is softcore, like Met Art. If you don't like softcore, these sites are not for you. But Met Art is probably one of the finest, certainly the largest, softcore teen glamor site on the internet.
About a month ago I posted a comment that the upgrade plan for members of the Metart network might be changing.
I wrote that, as a member of one of the Metart network sites, you could sometimes find the page that offered a discounted $10 per month membership to any of the other sites in the network, and other times, that offer seemed to be unavailable.
Now I see that there is a different offer being made at the site, where a current Metart member (a member of the Metart network) can now join one of the other sites for $19 monthly.
So I assume that the $10 monthly plan is no longer being offered. Or if it is still being offered, I can't find it.
I wish that Metart would post a note explaining that these offers will be changing, before they change them.
Did MetArt drop their discount plan for joining other sites in the network?
It used to be, if you were a member of any of their sites, you could join any other site in the network for a discounted price of $10.00 per month.
But I don't see that being offered any more.
Edit: I noted in a comment that when I entered MetArt later, I found the link for the reduced subscription prices.
However, I now enter the MetArt site, and the link for the reduced subscription prices is now missing again.
I don't know if this is because my PC has stored a copy of the site page without the link, or whether the MetArt site server is being updated, or what the problem is.
But I think the discount link is really valuable, and I would hate to see it go.
Metart starting to offer sensuality in its videos.
A couple of weeks ago, I mentioned in a comment that Metart was starting to add a bit of eroticism to their videos. The video I cited was posted 2013-04-01, titled "Spera". The model is Christel A.
For many years, the Metart videos, featuring lovely young nude teens, were boring or sterile.
The Spera video definitely has a bit of erotic feeling to it.
Today, I saw a public preview video at Metart, titled "The Girls of Metart", starring Sapphira, that definitely qualifies as erotic art.
If, in the future, the videos at Metart follow this new direction, they will be a strong addition to an already great site.
One word of caution: If you watch this video, don't expect the great mass of videos at Metart to have this erotic quality: This is a new direction, a new sense of erotic exploration in their video library. The older videos, in spite of the lovely models, are basically boring and a waste of time to watch.
But the newest videos, just based on the Spera video, and the newest preview video named "The Girls of Metart", is really an amazing advance in eroticism. In the newest videos, girls are allowed to touch themselves, and each other. This is still softcore, but in the older videos, girls basically did not touch themselves, or each other, in a sensual way.

Is Metart starting to add a bit of eroticism to their videos?
For years, I have mentioned/complained that Metart videos are boring, in spite of the lovely models the videos have featured.
Today, I saw a video from Metart that actually has a bit of erotic feeling to it. The model does a mild strip-tease, and she actually touches her breasts. She also glides her fingers over other parts of her body (shoulders, belly, thighs, etc.). This is really softcore eroticism, but it's a vast improvement over past Metart videos.
The video was posted 2013-04-01, titled "Spera". The model is Christel A.
After updating with only 4 updates daily the last couple of weeks, Met-Art has finally posted 6 updates for the first day of March: 1 video plus 5 photosets.
Although they advertise up to 6 updates daily, I noticed that back on January 13, 2013, there were only 3 updates. Recently, they have been posting 4 updates per day.
These facts are probably of interest to hardcore Met-Art fanatics. But I want to spread the word that Met-Art update rate varies. You can't expect 6 updates per day. Even 3 updates per day is more than any other softcore teen glamor site that I am aware of.
I've been a member of Metart for many years, off and on. But I just realized you can set some options on how the site is displayed.
You can show measurements in metric or imperial.
Imperial is the British system of measurements: Feet and inches for length, pounds for weight.
Although they have taught the metric system in the United States for many years, I still have to translate metric to the British system, because I grew up with feet-inches and pounds, and metric measurements just aren't natural for me; I have to translate them to feet-inches and pounds to understand what they mean.
This is a simple thing, really. But it makes the Metart site easier to use.
Also, you can select the language the site is displayed:
Deutsch (which is German, I assume)
English
Espanol (Spanish)
Nederlands
Chinese? (I'm guessing, it's some kind of oriental language)
Japanese? (I'm guessing, it's some kind of oriental language)
? (Some other oriental language
So I guess that Metart truly is an international site, promoting softcore porn throughout the world.
Depending on where you look on the Metart site, you can find the current age of the model, and also the age of the model at the time of each photoshoot.
When you download a zip file of a photoshoot, you get a text file of the model's bio included. That text file bio lists the current age of the model, instead of her age at the time of the photoshoot.
It would be better for the downloaded text file included with each photoshoot to give the age of the model at the time when the photoshoot was shot, instead of her current age.
1. MET-Art (originally Most Erotic Teens) is a softcore pornography website owned by HLP General Partners Incorporated of Santa Monica, California. The site features erotic photographs of partially or completely naked women, and has been online since circa 1999.
2. Not to be confused with the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
But much easier to visit than the New York City museum. And the price to visit the online site is much cheaper.
3. Headquarters: Santa Monica, California
Parent HLP General Partners, INC
It surprises me that the headquarters are in Santa Monica, California.
Almost all the models used in the early years of Met-Art were Eastern European girls.
And the photographers were mainly from Europe, as well.
Most of the models are still from Eastern Europe.
And most of the photographers are still from Europe.
What I want to really know:
If I drive down to Santa Monica, California, how many of the Met-Art girls will I be able to meet?
My guess is: Zero to none, since the site uses very few models from the United States, and almost all the photoshoots are done in Europe.
Can anyone explain to me the benefit of having a headquarters in Santa Monica, California? Versus some place in Europe. I can understand not locating in Russia or some area around there, because the authorities might turn against porn and shut the operation down or force it to move. The same thing happened with Abby Winters in Australia, I think, which is why Abby Winters moved from Australia to Europe.
When you download a photoset of a model, it includes a small bio sheet for the model.
The model sheet includes:
Age
Eye color
Hair color
Height
Weight
Breast size
Country
And maybe a few small details about what the model likes or is doing.
The age of the model refers to the age she was at the time the photoset was posted to the site. (I believe that's what it's supposed to refer to. Less probable, it was the age the model was at the time of the photo shoot.)
Anyway, the computer program that is responsible for printing out the bio sheet has been, in error, I believe, now set up to print the age the model is currently.
On the Metart site, there is a bio section for each model, and that section gives the current age of the model.
But the downloaded bio sheet, that comes with a specific photoset, is supposed to give the age of the model at the time the photoset was posted to the site.
Instead, it now gives the current age of the model.
Met-Art is probably the biggest site for softcore teen photography, based on content.
And the site just keeps getting bigger. They add up to 6 photosets and videos per day. I don't know of any softcore teen photo site that comes close to that in terms of updates.
But over the years, they also tinker with the site to make it user friendly. They have a massive amount of content, but I feel the site is very easy to use.
One example of how they to make the contents more accessible/user friendly:
Years ago, the naming system for zip downloads of photosets used a combination of letters and numbers. Then they switched to a different system, where the filenames were much longer, but that tried to describe the file contents more clearly. The system they use now is much improved:
It gives the site name, the date the photoset was posted at Met-Art, the name of the photoset, the model(s) featured in the photoset, the photographer, and the definition of the photoset (low, medium, or high).
Would be a photoset posted on 2011-05-08, with the title, "Presenting Felicia", featuring the model Felicia B, by the photographer Dolce, and the definition is high.
Personally, I would rather that the name of the model comes before the name of the photoset. And I would prefer the date of the set comes before the name of the photoset. For example:
Felicia B-2011.05.08-Presenting Felicia
That would make more sense, and make it easier to categorize, as far as I can see.
Because when you are looking over your photosets, you want to know who the model is, when the photoset was posted, and then the name of the photoset.
I pay less attention to who the photographer is. And I try to keep all the Met-Art sets in a common group for Met-Art.
But it's nice that Met-Art tries, on a constant basis, to make the site more user-friendly.
I visit Met-Art more often than I go to any museum. For one, it's easier to visit. For another, the contents are more interesting. For another, Met-Art is like a museum, that is cultural, uplifting, and stimulates the mind.
There are very few porn sites that fit that description.
This is not a news flash. They've always been boring.
I get more fun watching some commercials than I get out of watching most Metart videos. How do they make videos of beautiful, lovely models getting undressed so boring?
Many of their photosets are alluring, lovely, outstanding, really gorgeous to look at.
But my main question is: why can the Metart photosets be so alluring? And at the same time, their videos so boring?
Separately, when the downloaded Metart videos play back, there is sometimes a mosaic effect where the colors are sometimes pixellated, and that is just another distracting effect. What causes this? I don't get this effect watching videos I download from Diesel network or Teen Mega World or other sites I download from.
I don't have a gaming computer, that is set up for fast visual effects. But my laptop, and my desktop, are both fairly new, within the last year, so I should be able to play back even the 1080p videos with no problems, I would think.
I've been watching the model named Eufrat, also known as Becki, Euphrates, Jana Hall, Jana P., Jana Potysova, Janette, Juliette, Lenka, Marina, Monique, Patty Glower, Ragan, Tricia, Jana Potyšová.
She's been modelling at least seven years.
You compare her earliest sets to her more recent ones, and you begin to realize she's not aging like a natural human should.
Are Met-art and other porn sites saving money by using robots or androids, instead of giving us the real deal?
Can PU get a discount on the monthly Metart price?
PU used to have a discounted monthly price for Metart. But the current price through PU is $29.97 (recurring).
I've found a link that gives a monthly price of $24.99 (recurring).
And there might be other prices even more discounted.
But can't PU at least use the $24.99 link for PU members?
Follow-Up - 04-19-12:
Thanks for closing this out. Like we talked about on icq, thanks too for pulling the link. I will keep you updated on the status of a new discount with these guys. THanks again!
PU/TBP price for Metart does not reflect the PU/TBP discount.
With a PU/TBP link, you still get the great $19.99/month (recurring) rate.
I saw the PU/TBP rate listed as $39.99/month (recurring), and it was like a kick in the head. Metart is probably my favorite site, and I thought that one of the great bargains in the porn world had disappeared.
Metart has a relatively new search feature that I just noticed.
This search is available to members and non-members alike.
Go to
http://guests.met-art.com/models/top/
At the top of this page there is a search thingy. Type in the name of the model you want to search for, and it returns:
1) a thumbnail of the model so you can see what she looks like.
2) the model's bio data:
current age, breast size, eye color, hair color, country, etc.
3) the sets the model has: date of set, photographer, set title, thumbnail of the cover photo, and a hot link to the set.
This is a really great feature, and it makes it so much easier for someone who wants to search for a particular model's sets, and it helps to catalog the sets for each model.
Met-art has re-designed the updates page. Met-art is constantly tinkering with the site design to improve the Met-art experience, to make the site easier to use.
The old update page was basically a listing of the most recent updates (photosets and videos) with a nice-sized thumbnail of each cover sheet. By clicking on any thumbnail, you would get a full-sized page of that cover sheet.
In the new update page design, you get a reduced number of update thumbnails. The updates are now sorted into a photoset grouping, and a video grouping. Before, the photosets and videos were lumped together, and sorted by date (most recent to oldest). By clicking on a thumbnail for the cover of a photoset, instead of getting a larger, full-page version, you now get 14 tiny thumbnails of photos within that set.
New to the updates page is a section of thumbnails that shows the Live Met Cams models.
Also new to the updates page is a listing, with thumbnails, of the top rated Metart models.
Personally, I liked the old design better, it was simpler, and showed a larger amount of the most recent updates.
But for someone who is just browsing, and is new to this site, the new design does a better job of showcasing the huge content that Metart offers with a membership.
All of this information was available before, but the new design places more information on the primary updates page.
And the technical expertise of the site design is impressive. The thumbnail links work easily. You click on a thumbnail of a model in the highest rated section, and it brings up a listing (thumbnails) of that model's photosets and videos.
First time I've noticed the met-art updates page being really messed up. The thumbnails for the most recent updates are out of order, with wrong listing dates for when the photosets/videos were posted. I assume the mix-up will be fixed soon.
Edit01: For what it's worth, the met-art updates page has now been fixed. I didn't have to clear my browser cache to get the corrected page of updates, so the problem was definitely on the met-art site, and not from my PC. :)
Most of the past Met-art videos were boring. Very pretty girls for subjects, but videos were boring and a waste of time to watch. This last video I saw, "FIRST MOVIE" BY RYLSKY, with the model Guerlain A., release date 04.25.2010, was slightly more interesting. The model is pretty, which is nothing new for Met-art, but I kept expecting the model to turn into a monster or creature, or for someone to jump on her and start slashing away with a knife or axe or something. Partly it was the lighting and the slow way the camera focused on the model, partly the music. Still a boring video, but maybe in part 2 they will add the monster/creature/slasher part for greater excitement.
Met-art has a photoset that posts tomorrow of a new model named Sophie D. She is better known as Sophie Moone. Back from retirement, she is still a great-looking woman.
Haven't been a member of met-art since Sep. 2008, but they keep trying to make the site better.
Now they advertise "Read the full model bio" (for newest photo set updates). The older model bios were extremely limited, basically name, country, physical characteristics (age, height, weight, plus a few others).
Another new feature is allowing members to make their own photo galleries from pics they select from met-art photo shoots.
