Cons: |
When I signed up the site was displaying an offer price of $14.99 but the options to sign up at that price through Segpay and CCBill were not working so I was forced to sign up via paypal at double the price.
Regular updates came to a stop in September 2017, only 1 photo set and 1 video since then.
No in browser streaming of the videos.
No way to search or sort the content other than the basic categories movies, galleries or models. |
Bottom Line: |
AV Erotica is a site featuring the work of Russian photographer Anton Volkov, one of the more popular photographers from Met Art back in the day. The site has been online since July 2007 and has been updating with new photo sets pretty much on a daily basis for most of the last 10 years, it was only in 2017 that the updates started to ease off to about every other day and then in September ceased altogether. It was because I noticed the site had stopped updating that I felt compelled to sign up and preserve everything to my hard drive for safe keeping in case this is the end of the road for AV Erotica, fearing it might be another site disappearing into the internet graveyard.
The site has a total of 246 models in 3401 photo sets (265,956 pics) and 530 movies. The models are mostly of Russian and Eastern European origin, mostly between the ages of 18 to mid 20s although there are also a handful of older models in the 30 to 40 age range, mostly white and slim with not too many fake breasts or tattoos. If you click on “models” it will take you to a single page featuring a preview picture of every model in alphabetical order with no other way to search or sort them. Clicking on each model's preview picture will take you to a page featuring all her movies and photo shoots along with a few basic stats and a brief paragraph of background information. Other than the model index you can browse galleries or movies via a year and month listing down the left hand side of the screen.
The content itself is very softcore, pretty much the same as what you would find at Met Art, beautiful girls posing naked, they show everything but that's as far as it goes, no masturbation or toys. Probably half the photo sets start with the model clothed, partially clothed or wearing lingerie and half start out naked although in a lot of the cases I get the feeling the photo sets that start naked are just a continuation of sets that started clothed (i.e. same background/location). There is a good variety of locations from studio shoots with plain backgrounds to stunning outdoor shoots. I particularly enjoyed looking at these stunning young beauties displaying everything they've got in beautiful outdoor locations, there were even a few risqué shoots in public places.
As with a lot of these types of sites I have to admit I found the videos pretty boring. Mostly they are just 10 minutes of a girl taking off whatever she's wearing and then rolling around naked on a bed or walking around in a field or wherever she happens to be, just showing off her body but not really doing anything that might turn you on. However the resolution of the videos is great with the 1920 x 1080 videos having a 7k bitrate. Going back before mid 2015 you start to lose the full hd but you still get a very good quality 1280 x 720 at 8000k option.
Bonus Sites
I had thought about doing separate reviews of the bonus sites but there's nothing much different to say about them, they're just more of the same kind of content that you find at AV Erotica so I'll just give the basic info here.
Ero Katya: Solo website of Katya, an attractive Russian 20 year old blonde with largish natural breasts. This is an archive site having been active between April 2008 and October 2010. The site has 123 photo sets (8,014 pics) and 13 videos which run between 5-9 mins. Photos max at 4300px and and the best video resolution is a 1280 x 720 avi at 4500k.
Ero Nata: Nata as she is known here has been one of my favourite models and one I've collected for many years. She's appeared at many different sites over the years under various names even having another solo site called Helen's Planet at one point which I don't think is around anymore. Nata is a slender, small breasted Russian brunette. This is also an archive site that was active between March 2008 and December 2010. There are 150 photo sets (9,889 pics) and 15 videos of Nata here, all solo content. The photo and video resolutions are the same as listed above for Katya's site.
I'm scoring the package of three sites an 86 for the beautiful girls and high quality photo content, if they had not stopped updating regularly it would have been higher. I think anyone who prefers videos would rate it lower though. Anyone who enjoys sites like Met Art and Femjoy should probably join this site at least once. |

Pros: |
+NO TOYS! (Yes, it can be done!)
+All exclusive
+Photos in 667x1000, 1667x2500, and 29xx X 43xx.
+Zips in medium size only, but they’re heavy, and the galleries have lots of pics. (Example: 5 zips I had of one model equaled about 650MB.)
+High quality, data-rich images. A medium-sized with a plain green background was 656K; a large was 1.72MB.
+Videos, smallest to largest file size, in wmv, Quicktime, and DivX
+Galleries from 07/07, daily from 11/07
+Server speed
+Easy, sensible navigation
+Can rate and/or comment on models, galleries, and videos
+Visitor’s preview shows a lot about the site
+Do check out the blog area. The writing is clear and focused and the stories told there might interest you. The English is almost perfect. They must have a great Russian-English translator. (Assuming that Volkov is Russian. Ukrainian? Other? I don't know.) |
Cons: |
-For video fans: Not that many are up so far. 26 to date. Videos started in 9/07 and there’s a new one each Tuesday.
-For 1280x720 stalwarts, just 16 of the vids are that size.
-Videos can be boring
-Too many photos of the model looking away from the camera
-Galleries usually have no clear organization; I recommend a "narrative" approach of stripping to total nudity with implied sex
-Blurriness in some photos was a bummer, especially of what would have been splendid ass shots of Goldie (oh my!). Overly dark pics less of a problem, but sometimes were.
-Would you like all of the models? I didn’t, but I liked enough. |
Bottom Line: |
Anton Volkov (hence the “AV” in the site name) is an established nude photographer with quite a corpus of work at MetArt, where he presently ranks #10 among their 60 listed artists. Several of his models there are also here, including Alice A/Malina, Irina, Julia, Katya, Leticia, Nusia, Olivia, Riana, Tati, and the especially awe-inspiring Lena, Goldie/Zlata A, and Nata (aka Helen, Larissa, etc.).
There are no duplications of MetArt material here. And yes, this is a purely softcore site, and I hope it stays that way.
Vids: With softcore vids, it’s especially challenging to keep the viewer enthralled. I recommend this basic idea: “I am undressing for you ... I want you so bad ...” The model has to get aroused, look often right into the camera, and feel passion for someone who’s not physically there. The POV is the viewer, having a very memorable day.
Dasha’s vid of turning around on a bed, looking very bored and clueless as to what to do was a total bomb. Olivia’s “In Corset” was better, as she had some magnetism, but it still didn’t hold me. And that’s all the predictable boredom that I cared to undergo to write this review.
$24.95 for access to several months of exclusive, quality content was a good deal, in spite of the flaws, without which the site would have rated higher.
What it needs most is a more consistent visceral "connection" between the models and the viewer, in the pics and the vids. |

Pros: |
- Lots of "completely nude" sets
- High Resolution photo sets
- Zipped content
- Exclusive sets
- Good site navigation - uncluttered design
- Online favorites section (galleries & movies)
- Works well with site ripping software & download managers |
Cons: |
- not much variety (lots of outdoor shoots)
- Nice blog section hasn't been updated for a couple of years
- nothing you can't get on (IMHO) superior sites such as FemJoy and MetArt |
Bottom Line: |
Don't get me wrong - I like the site. I like my porn to feature insanely beautiful girls. You know - the kind of girls that on an unfair planet you would never get to see topless - let alone spreading their labia. Just occasionally this site delivers one of these creatures and this was what tempted me to AVErotica in the first place. But...it doesn't appear to be happening enough to keep my hard earned money going to Mr Volkov. THere are currently around 130 models on the site and a quick browse through the mug shots only meade we really want to investigate around 10 in any more detail.
The site is well laid out if a little simple and feature light. The set rating feature seems underused (even the "Top Rated" models seem to have only around 80 votes each) so isn't very reliable. Not a big deal to me as I tend to download everything and keep everything but...
Video content is of a high quality but updates are only once a week and most have one of those awful Kenny G style soprano sax soundtraks.
If you're a fan of very naked, usually quite pretty Russian girls in fairly explicit poses then this site is probably for you - especially if you can't afford the membership to MetArt. Nut But I'd be suprised if you kept the membership going for more than a few months. Personally - I'll probably join for a month every other year or so and use download mangers to rip the last year's content as both download speed, no DLManager limitations and full archives will make it a good deal. |
