WTF do they even mean by "closed mind". Do we go there to discuss some opinion pieces about society, economics, etc., or do we go there to get sexually aroused and relieve ourselves? If I am not excited by things being thrust into crappers and maybe even being turned off by it, no exhorting will make me get excited. What next, introduce TS stuff with guys sucking dicks and ask people to open their minds even wider?
And having a fake model interview is even funnier. Sure, she doesn't want to come to work, do something quick and harmless and go home. She definitely wants to have her asshole pounded "at the office", because of course, these guys are all about her pleasure, they do everything to have each model orgasm ten times per shoot. Sure.
And it's not like they are getting into an empty niche. The vast majority of sites is at least half anal nowadays.

I hope that there was an exit form and that you made it clear that it was because of it, not because there wasn't *as much* crapper sex as in almost every other site.

That's a shame. I sometimes feel like the only person in the world who doesn't like anal, and it seems so hard to avoid nowadays.

I hadn't even heard of this site, but after reading your lengthy comments on Joy Mii and subsequent recommendation of SexArt I've spent time checking it out. I, too, have reached saturation point with anal and dp and the rest of fairly brutal hardcore porn. I do find lovely models but they're almost entirely turned over to anal assaults and trying to find scenes without it is nearly impossible. Comments scream about a lack of anal scenes even at a place like Video Box where there is virtually complete coverage. And, of course, the quality of camerawork, direction, design etc is terrible. I'm culling a high percentage of what I've downloaded over the years realizing that most of it I never watch. I'm giving it a try because it looks wonderful - of course I thought that about X-Art, Joy Mii and Babes at one time or the other, so fingers crossed. Thanks.

Fair enough. I guess it's different for me because I watch them on a 24" LCD at 1920x1200, so the resolving power is higher. And certainly a part of it has to do with tastes, as I prefer my videos crisp and with more skin texture (rather than soft and glamorized skin tone). Also it is entirely plausible that SexArt has recently upgraded their encoding methods.

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.

Parsnip's Review
from otoh:
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.

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.

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

Parsnip's Review
from otoh:
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.

Hi Parsnip ~
Sorry to hear you're so unhappy.
Please send me an email through the support link and I'll gladly give you a full refund right away. Perhaps getting your money back will brighten your day. :-)
If you have any constructive feedback or suggestions, I would welcome that as well.
Fortunately, there are nearly 1 million satisfied X-Art customers who disagree with you.
The most amusing part of your last message was when you referred to my title of X-Art Co-Founder as a relegation. What title should I give myself instead? My wife Colette and I started X-Art from scratch 7 years ago, and since then, thanks to our customers, we've grown into one of the most popular and respected sites of it's kind, actually defining the erotica category.
We're proud to have won the 2015 XBiz Adult Website of the Year award in the Erotic category.
I read your other recent reviews and noticed that you also disapprove of our competitors websites, that you feel they are all going downhill.
In all earnestness Parsip, we can't please everyone. Please send us an email to our support email address. Just let them know that Brigham is requesting that your membership payment be refunded in full.
We're very close to launching an all new X-Art, with some great new features that you might love. Perhaps you'll give us another change to make you a happy customer at some point down the line. Until then, happy surfing.
Brigham
Co-founder of X-Art
[insert job title that Parsnip approves of] ;-)

Parsnip's Comment
from BrighamXart:
Hi Parsnip ~
Thank you for taking time out of your day to send us feedback and comments about our site.
You mentioned 'loads of days recently with no updates'. Actually, the site is updated every single day, 365 days of the year - usually alternating a new HD video update, followed by a high resolution video gallery the next day, then another HD video.
We did have a technical issue for 2 days, April 9 and 10, during which we were unable to post new updates to the site. You can confirm the posting date of all updates on the 'Updates' page of our site, and you'll see it is very consistent and daily. :-) Perhaps those 2 days you were very upset?
Your comment regarding Aubrey being hurt doing a scene is simply incorrect. Aubrey has a login to X-Art, and she writes her own comments and messages directly to members. If you have any question about how she feels, please feel free to ask her directly via comment on one of her videos. We cherish our models, particularly our exclusive contract models - and they are free to voice their opinions and feelings at any time during a production, or on the website afterwards.
Also, you mentioned that I (co-owner Brigham Field) have almost nothing to do with the site anymore. That is also incorrect. I work full time, often 16-20 hours/day on X-Art. For the past year plus, I've been closely working with our web development team on moving to a blazing fast new website server architecture and CDN (Content Delivery Network). We're also putting the final touches on X-Art 2.0 - launching in the next 30 days - which has a ton of exciting new features for our members, including a user interface that works perfectly on mobile devices, and screens of all sizes including streaming TV.
I also produce, direct, and shoot many of the recent videos myself, or work closely with Colette and our directors and producers. And, I access our customer service email system on a daily/weekly basis to check how we are taking care of our customers, and to address any technical issues that arise. And finally, I respond to comments and feedback on awesome review websites like this one.
Every customer is certainly entitled to their own opinion. We've had close to 1 million satisfied customers since we launched X-Art 7 years ago. In that time we've found that we cannot satisfy every single customer. If you're not happy, please send an email to our customer support as listed on the website, and we will gladly refund your membership payment! You can let them know that Brigham suggested this. However, if you'd like to stay with us - we would be even more happy to get specific feedback from you on how we can improve and keep you on board!
Thank you again for your time and suggestions. Colette and I really hope to turn your frown upside-down and make you a happy X-Art customer once again!
Best regards and good vibes!
Brigham and Colette

Parsnip's Review
from Tascpl40:
Superb review, Parsnip. Well written, perceptive, informative, believable. Let me exaggerate, but only a little -- you're the Leslie Halliwell of the porn-film world.
I'm coming from a similar viewpoint: trying to find material that my partner would enjoy. But I'm a virtual virgin when it comes to paid porn. Started with Abby Winters last week, but am ready to move on. So I need some suggestions.
If you happen to read this, Parsnip, or anyone else, I'm looking for a variety of adult material. Not much, maybe an hour or two of 1080P video in each category, and say, 200 stills. Here are the categories:
1. Under 25, amateur, male-female
With a fairly realistic depiction of how a couple in that age group would normally have sex. Abby Winters failed in that regard because virtually all the Girl-Boy videos appeared to be staged. If it's boring sex for viewers, as it probably would be, that's quite okay. My partner and I want a glimpse of what young people do together. You've probably guessed, we're no longer young.
2. Female orgasm
Real orgasms, please. I know -- how can you tell? Well, actually, there are involuntary physiological indications, but I won't go into that here. Prefer older than 25 because younger than that, as per Abby Winters again, I get the impression they are mostly copying the mannerisms, mouth contortions, yodelling and yelping that they've seen elsewhere. Don't suggest I Feel Myself. That site is definitely out of the running because of the attitude of the owner in responses on this site, and because of his belief that squirting during orgasm is real.
3. Male stills
Tasteful stills featuring good-looking, young, male bodies, solo or partnered with male or female. Erections quite okay, but not much more.
4. Older women
Older meaning up to retirement age, out on a fling, most likely with a younger partner. A fantasy type of thing showing a mature woman enjoying sex.
5. Professional actors staging realistic sex
Hard to describe what I'm looking for here. Combine the best production values out of Hollywood, with actors playing the part of two people having believable sex. Not hard core, but more intimate than what Hollywood could portray. Imagine passionate sex scenes between Rhett and Scarlett, Rick and Ilsa, Charlie Allnut and Rose.
Any suggestions as to suitable sites would be most welcome. I want to avoid sites that are focussed on, or have a preponderance of:
• Anal
• Squirting
• Facial cum shots
• Glamorous women who look like they've stepped from the cover of Vogue
The sort of thing that a woman who is feeling sexy with her man would not be turned off by. In case the word "woman" is not clear: your partner, wife, girlfriend, sister, mother, aunt. i.e. an ordinary woman who themselves would definitely not want to be seen in such a video, but who, in private, might enjoy watching a respectful portrayal of another sexy woman.

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

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.
