Yeah, after I thanked you for steering me away from the site with your review it seems odd that I'd join. But the offer was good. I think if I were really a fan of the site I'd need to spend a much longer time there to apprecaite it. And regardless of hardcore or softcore preferences, I think it's safe to say those of us into hetro sites are all into beautiful women. And Met Art has them by the hundreds.
One thought that kept going through my mind was "where do they find all these stunning women and how do they get them into nude modelling?" Obviously a big draw here is that these women aren't being asked to stick baseball bats up their bottoms, so that increases the potential number of models right there. As for the site size, I assume that based on the type of material they also pay less and therefore can shoot more.
But I'll admit that I was surprised at how much I liked the site. It certainly does well at what it does.

I understand that subjectivity makes up a big part of any score, but... what makes a better review is when the writer explains the reasons for those biases. You definitely did that. Met Art is one of the most respected sites out there but thanks to your clear explanation of why you don't like it I'm 99% sure that I wouldn't like it either.
I'll take a peek at Juliland. Thanks for the tip.

from rearadmiral:
otoh (and I mean no disrespect for the other members who also reviewed this site), but this is the best Met Art review I've read! Like you, Met Art has been on the list of sites to consider but regularly got bumped down by something else. But thanks to your review I'm going to remove it permanently from the list. You succinctly and clearly build a case for why I shouldn't join, but you also build a case for why someone may want to join. I prefer harder sites but have nothing against soft sites, but when I read your line that the site "seems to be to emphasise the beauty of the models at the expense of any sexuality" that really made your point clear. And when you wrote "there is little teasing, no touching, and rarely even a lewd glance" that finished any interest that I may have had in the site.
I'm sure there are many people who would love Met Art's style of porn, but I'm not one of them. Thanks for saving me $30!

from Denner:
Met Art is our old time kind-of-site here, for sure.
And the fact that this site just keeps going on and on with so many updates is just great....but:
Like otoh points out in the bottom line area hits the fan:
"..........that the material here just isn't exciting."
Exactly!
Met Art is a goldmine for models - but it drowns in some weird kind of massiveness - too much, but not too sexy/erotic.
A lot - lately tends to be way too: la,la,la in order to keep up the massive updates. Jeeeez, no problems with massive updates....but may be it's a question of quantity/quality...
Thanks, otoh - FINE review!!!

No, I don't think so.
I share your concerns.
Perhaps that was what gave me an element of unease whilst browsing the site.
With a few sites the personality of the model leaps out at you, which I really like.
With a lot of others it is noticeable, here it appears to be dourly supressed, in the name of 'art'.
Not good!

I agree with you, otoh.
It is another one of those frustratingly 'nearly' sites.
Rather than striving to crash through the barrier and make a rivetting site, they do more, more & more of the same, which obviously does work for some folk.
This only serves to add more to the frustration for the likes of ourselves wanting a step or two beyond.
What I found most frustrating was that the thumbnails for each set looked identical after a little while searching.
I think it is a problem with sites that have pretentions of 'art'.

from Jayz:
By my count there are a total of 76 sets shot by the Roy Stuart currently on MetArt. The most recent was posted today, the earliest dated set by the legendary erotic artist was posted on January 1, 2004, and there are 17 undated sets from deep in the MetArt archives. If you’re interested in seeing a wide range of work from this internationally revered photographer, MetArt is the place to find it.

Definitely. I am a fan of overly-stylized artsy-daftness, and it is well beyond that. Ninn clearly has delusions of being some kind of "artiste". I've just seen a message he posted on a SexArt update a few days ago where he really insulted the members while going on about his "artistic vision" - not a smart move when you consider who has just bailed him out!

I am pleased to have helped.
Yes, it is but I am afraid it is so poorly implemented at the moment, I couldn't recommend it.
Whilst the style & standard of photography is there, there is neither quantity or quality of content at the moment.
I have never been a member of Digital Desire.
I may check it out, but not for a while yet.
Being burnt like this makes you more cautious for a while. ;0)

Thanks Otoh. I'd almost forgotten how much i enjoyed the public pics until i rediscovered that interest with the photoshoots out and about in Paris on Petites Parisiennes last month. In the same way here the sets have varying degrees of daring, some are bordering on non-nude, other sets you might just get a boob flash or a sneaky shot up the models skirt while some sets are a lot more daring.
I really don't understand the point of the download restrictions, after all 300 zips per day is more than enough to download the entire picture collection within a month so if i've paid my 35 bucks i'm only going to download each set once so why should it make a difference to the site if i do it in 2 or 3 days or spread it over the month, still equals the same amount of bandwidth overall and at that price i certainly wouldn't want to stick around longer than a month.

Nicely written review! I used to be returning member until they had a big, months-long hiccup and the updates could no longer be counted on. But I'd certainly, definitely recommend the site for the completely uninitiated. There's LOTS of very appealing softcore stuff there for pic fans, keeping in mind that some of it is on the fetishy side, to be sure.
French sites do seem to have that tendency.

Interesting review otoh, this is another site that's been on my radar for a while and even more tempting now i've seen some of those French hotties already on Petite Parisiennes.

from BradlyH:
I was waiting for you to do a review on this one ! In depth by the way, nicely done.
Disappointing to learn it has only 1280px, that's one of my biggest complaints for any site. I'm not blind or anything but i like big pics ! it's all in the details if you know what i mean... hah. That's why i Love petites-parisiennes, Jam throws the choices around for you. 1000 To 4000, a lot of sites i have been to would benefit so much from Jam's set up *cough* little mutt *cough*
I think Nena is going to have to stay on the bottom of my "to subscribe to list" No zips and that picture size along with the price and your score.... i just cant bring myself to subscribe.
Is it CC billed ?

Great review otoh. This site has been on my list of possibles for some time but it never quite seems to grab my attention enough to sign up. It's good to know those picture sets can easily be grabbed with DTA though should I decide to sign up one day.

The preview looks quite nice but being a photo fan i certainly wouldn't pay 30 bucks for a site with 3100 photos...i'd be done in a couple of hours and reaching for the credit card again.

A very nice review,otoh.
It seems you have here a decent niche site starting on the slide.
A shame.
Oh, there really shouldn't be any doubt on the definition of nudity.
I even did a thread on it a while back onthe forum IIRC.
Nudity means no clothes. Simple.
Clothes pulled aside is flashing.
Partially clothed is partially clothed, regardless of whether naughty bits are on view. ;0)

This time our tastes really diverge, otoh. To this day I consider the invention of pantyhose to be one of the worst moments in erotic history!! :-)

I think you will like this one.
Outfits are smart & mostly plausible.
The office is used as a set in every update....I can't think of an exception. Apparently it is the Webmaster's own office.
As I said earlier, this purports to be the 'nude' site.
Yes it does go a little further than the other site of his, in that 'naughty bits' are seen. They usually only go to stockings & garter belts only.
There isn't one set to actual nude, which is a shame because I like the photographers work, the set the models & the outfits.

Thanks for the reply otoh. Yes the sets are not very creative here and can become a bit repetative, the same old office desk for the secretary themed shoots, the same bedroom setting over and over again with the college girl uniform so it can become a bit stale but the huge selection of gorgeous models and the fully clothed to almost nude/topless strips is what makes the site worth it IMO.
Luckily I avoided the regional pricing by taking this site as a reduced price $20 cross sell when i signd up with Art-Lingerie. Every time I've been tempted to join Only Tease in the past I usually end up hitting the exit button when I go to the sign up page and the price bumps up to nearly $30.
