Excellent navigation and search options on a par with other sites in the Met Art Network.

| Cons: |
Deceptive regional pricing, (.e.g. Display price in $ USD and charge same figure in £ GBP)
Cross sale pre-selected in drop down menu on payment page.
Earliest videos from 2006 and before have no streaming option and no hd downloads.
Many photo sets start out nude or with little in the way of clothing.
They have a tendency to split photo sets in to 2 updates often released weeks, months or even years apart. |
| Bottom Line: |
The last time I joined Errotica Archives was way back in late 2008 at which time it was a fairly unique solo photographer site featuring the work of the Czech photographer named Erro hence the name of the site (Erro)tica Archives and back then the site featured predominantly models from the Czech Republic. In recent years though it appears the site has become more of an extension of Met Art with an increasing number of Russian and Ukrainian models and many different photographers now contributing towards the daily updates which adds a bit more variety in styles. There are still on average 5 or 6 shoots from Erro added every month and his work accounts for around two thirds of the total photo sets on the site.
This site has been updating daily for over 11 years so the collection has grown considerably since my last visit now boasting 512 models in a total of 3,777 photo sets and 594 videos as of today. The vast majority of the content is solo girls posing nude in artistic erotic shoots with plenty of close ups but nothing much in the way of sexual activity to get you really excited. In some of the videos you may see some of the models touching themselves between their legs or running their fingers across the top of their pussy but it's not what you would call masturbation in the true sense of the word. There are a number of photo sets and videos featuring two girls but again little in the way of sexual activity, mostly just touching and caressing. I did find one quite hot video featuring Dido and Iwia A from September 2012 titled “Spring Break” which had them giving each other a good pussy licking, fingering and masturbation but I think that was the exception rather than the rule.
The download options are pretty uniform across all Met Art Network sites these days. You get your photo sets in High, Medium and low resolution. For me as a collector the medium at 2048 px long end is the perfect compromise between quality and file size. Back in 2008 when I joined the medium size was only 1200 px so I found myself going through and replacing all my old stuff with the larger size. The largest resolution photos can be anything from around 4000 px up to 7500 px long end. My one complaint about the photo sets as mentioned in my cons is their tendency to issue them in two parts often weeks months or even years apart. As an example the model Nadia, photo set titled “Voiture” issued 15th January 2010, the rest of the “Voiture” photo set appeared on 27th October 2014, that's not far off 5 years to complete a photo set which is ridiculous. Personally I would rather see an update of a full photo set on 15 days a month than 30 days of half photo sets with 50-60 pictures.
Videos can be streamed in 1080 HD, 720 HD, Standard Definition and Mobile. The download options are 1080p HD, 720p HD, 360p, 270p, WMV and Divx AVI. The HD videos go back as far as October 2006 and before that you just have a choice of a low resolution wmv or avi download. The latest 1080p videos that I downloaded came as mp4 files with a bitrate around 5k. All videos I've watched so far have a musical backing track.
In summary if you like stunningly beautiful young women in softcore artistic solo shoots you can't go far wrong with any of the sites in the Met Art Network including this one. |
