I agree, especially if they keep the TBP/PU discount.

Parsnip's Comment
from Colette:
Hi Parsnip,
Really sorry you feel that way. We did have one rendering issue with that specific video. It is also not nice for you to speak about the models like that. We have many beautiful girls and couples from Europe and USA. You can see a small preview of what we have to offer on our blog.
Funny that out of over 425 films on the site and over 715 awesome photo galleries (with new update EVERY day) you pick the only two we had issues with recently to discuss here. How about the good ones? I love this most recent one: x-art.com/videos/good_night_kiss/ you REALLY should watch it...
If you would like to come back for a free trial and see what is coming up I am sure you will not be disappointed. How long were you a member?
I try really hard, but I guess you can't please everyone all the time.
Happy Holidays! Colette X-Art.com

Actually, I don't mind artsy nonsense... as long as it's not at the expense of actual arousal!
A couple of things you may want to check out too: if you've not joined Babes, it's not quite SexArt or Joymii, but it's still good if you are looking for more similar material.
And if you aren't already familiar with him, look up Roy Stuart - also a bit of an auteur, but the material works better. There's some (very tame) stuff of his on Met Art; but if you want the B/G material, I think it's either the books or his own DVDs.

Parsnip's Review
from otoh:
Hi Parsnip - another good review, of a site which so far is my favourite sex site. Although SexArt is pretty close, I found the styling, lighting, colours here good and evocative - and the scenes erotic but not overly pretentious or artsy.
I recently received their newsletter on the subject of anal sex - like you, it doesn't really work for me but as and when I rejoin, I'm pragmatic enough to ignore it if there isn't too much. I just hope that further to your exchange with the webmaster, they don't overdo it - there's plenty of places for folk that like it to see it; not so many for those of us that don't and it would be a shame to lose one.

Another interesting review, thanks. I've been tempted by this - like you I've received offers, being a member at TLE. I sort of half-dismissed it as overly-stylised artsy daftness - but it sounds harder than I'd suspected. My interest in fetish lies in the glam side, nylons and latex - not so much in S&M and the like - sounds like this would be a turn-off for me at best. Probably one I'd be better off avoiding!

Another great and helpful review. I quite enjoyed this site when I was there - although I usually watch solo, BG material is why I tend to join these heartcore sites, and what I found here was good.
Like you, I did, however, find it let down a little by the lack of variety of models - the vast majority 18-21 slim caucasian girls. But either way, a shame that maybe the quality has gone down since I was there - and especially that they are going for more extreme material.

Very useful review. I have been a member of this site several times in the past, haven't belonged for about 6 months.
Sad to hear that the quality has dropped so much.
This site used to be one of my favorite glamcore sites.
The models were almost all great looking girls.

Another excellent review. I really enjoyed the earliest solo content on this site but the introduction of more and more B/G content meant the site lost it's appeal for me so I don't see myself returning again.

Interesting review, it seems like this site has upped their game in the last couple of years. I was quite disappointed with this site when I had a membership here back in January 2012.

Those are very valid points and I understand your views.
Pierre's members are there for his style, so they naturally approve of his roughness. Those wishing gentle, passionate sex, come to us.
Does the sex act matter that much, or does the implied story, circumstance, chemistry and presentation?
Does having anal our on our site, make us more gonzo/rough ,than "Handcuffs For Caprice" makes us similar to SM/Bondage sites like kink? :)

Yes. We consider the opinions of customers like you, very important.
We are very aware of JAV. I personally just came back from Japan and met with two representatives from Hokuto - Japan's biggest porn company. They own DMM. It is nearly impossible to get one of those beautiful JAV girls to shoot uncensored porn. It requires a bit of an explanation that's not suitable here but if you want to know the reasons, and what we are trying to do, please contact me via the contact form on our site. I'd be happy to tell you!
I can't imagine x-art mistreating their girls. I know the owners and some of the team and they, like us, respect their girls. Even if a girl CAN do anal, and she did it on Woodmancastingx, they wouldn't pressure her into it or throw money at her like Pierre does. Neither do we. I can give you another example: Petra Q loves anal. She prefers it over regular sex. If she had her way, she would've preferred Nick to make love to her butt in "Midnight Sex" but we declined because it didn't fit the story and mood we wanted to portray.
We try very hard to set a standard and not just film gonzo cinematically like some of our competitors. You want to see passion and romance and that will continue to be our priority.

Parsnip's Review
from Joymii:
Hi Parsnip.
Thank you very much for the fair and concise review. If I may, I'd like to address some of the points you brought up which we already rectified:
720P video - ALL videos are now available in 1080P. Previously, we only encoded in 720P because 1080P wasn't in high demand.
Variety of models - we are working on that, but it is quite difficult to get attractive girls of other ethnicities. We didn't want to settle for skanky, tattoo'd so-cal asians for example.
Anal - did you read our recent newsletter? We address this topic specifically. If you think about anal sex in your personal life, it is a special gift a woman gives to her man. Therefore, we only introduce it in the right context. It has to be meaningful and done tenderly. Not gross-out, over-pumping, gonzo-style. Our recent set, Natali and Angelo, features anal because they are boyfriend/girlfriend in real life and they suggested it to us. But most of our scenes don't feature anal because the chemistry wasn't there, even if you've seen the same girl elsewhere get ass fucked into oblivion. :)

Well said :) I think that for a GG/Masturbation site they do an excellent job with variety. Some of the greatest/most intense scenes you will ever see. Especially paul black. Worth the money

Another great review - and again, your views on the site are very similar to mine. Assume somebody's arse got kicked around the beginning of 2012, since material before then is largely generic and uninspired - if anyone joined before then, note that the last 2 years of material is completely different.
And Paul Black's material is certainly a standout - also Chris King and Oliver Nation. I do feel they could all be a bit less dark - there's atmospheric and there's not being able to see much - but it's only a minor thing. I also like Sebastien Michel - his pics are among the few inspiring ones at Met Art.
Have you tried Breath Takers and/or Girlfolio? (Same photographer at each). Quite soft, but I think you may like the style - I think I will subscribe to the latter next.

Looking forward to your TLE review - it's one of my favourite sites and the one I have a 1 year membership to. As you say, they often get the pictures right - make them genuinely erotic where Met Art (and SexArt on the photo side) fail.
BTW you may also like Babes - it's a little formulaic, but still not at all bad.

Great review and welcome. I've just spent a couple of days at this site - a trial for being a member at TLE - and found much the same as you. The only real difference being that I thought the early arty, body-painting ones etc were too daft; I prefer the more recent more ordinary ones.
But otherwise concur - this is good stuff, well made and respectful. Like you I'm not a fan of anal and don't really feel it belongs in (although others are free to disagree!) in this kind of heartcore site, so I'm glad they've not done it here.
And agree completely about the pics! I find Met Art pics entirely insipid and the one here are too - I don't know how they are so unerotic when the videos are so good.
I also like that that it's not wholly fixated on 18-21 year olds, but still I'd like to see a few more girls 25-30+. Not sure if this beats Joymii, my favourite sex site so far, but it is good.
