| Pros: |
- One of the internet's top artsy but hardcore sites.
- The quality throughout is very high.
- Download speeds are very good (80% of my max) but the site sometimes is a bit slow to load. It's not my internet and my computer is considered a still viable computer in video gaming. I'll go a little more into in the BL.
- The models. Some of the prettiest models in the world and they use high production values.
- Update schedule isn't consistent but it works out to 3-4 updates a week.
- CCBill as the biller, there was a cross-sale and it was checked, it's to their other site. Kind of hard to see because their signup page is black.
- If you've ever liked their content, you probably still will. I think they're one of the most consistent sites.
- While it has nearly 1,000 videos, I join it for for the picture sets. They have some of the best picture sets I've ever seen.
- It's one of the few standalone sites these days that gives you your money's worth and more. |
| Cons: |
- My score reflects the 5 point automatic drop. I hate this site's navigation. It annoys the hell out of me. The videos navigation is very good. The model's list is very good. The updates, which is the only way to find the photo sets, is one long page of scrolling. I expected a change on that but it hasn't happened.
- I'm trying not to use the word "heartcore" because I for some reason really like this site but don't typically like heartcore. But that is very much a con for some. It's kind of mushy. |
| Bottom Line: |
X-Art to me is a site you could join for a year and wouldn't get tired of the content, if you like the content. And, it might take a year to get to the bottom of the updates page! Why isn't that fixed? If nothing else, easy fix here, stick a photos "tab" up there with "videos" and have 30-40 photo sets per page. I think I broke my my mouse's scrolling wheel on this site. I have no idea how much content there is overall because I get to 2013 and stop scrolling but open the videos, 40 per page, 24 pages. I not only know roughly how many videos but I can jump from page to page too. I was going to just do a 5 point deduction, but I believe an 8 point deduction is more fitting.
That wouldn't be a problem but I come for the photo sets. That's really my only legit complaint. I thought I had got around it. There's a drop-down menu that has "photos" in it. But all that did was put all the photo sets on the long, scrolling page!
If you've not been to X-Art before, it fits that "female-friendly" genre of porn. I hope I'm not being sexist by saying that. I know women who love the most hardcore porn on the internet. So, I'll say, in general, this is a more "realistic", mushy, kind of lovey style of porn. They still get very hardcore at times but it's done tastefully. That was the hardest paragraph I've ever typed in a review!
As I've gotten older, I have started liking the teen-style models but they're still not my favorites. And most of the models here fit the teen-type, slender, very pretty, if there are tattoos you don't see them often and implants are either a no-no or very rare. It's also not just male/female. They have quite a bit of lesbian too and some solo too.
I don't know if this is a negative but I like their pictures better than the videos. It's most-likely me. I haven't been joining or downloading much what I call "regular porn videos". I have downloaded 38 (exact count) so far at X-Art, so it's not that the videos are bad. Their picture sets have my favorite thing in porn photos, the models going from (usually)dressed fully to fully nude and they do enough of the in-between dressed and nude photos in their sets. They excel at it. The newest photo update wasn't one of my favorites. It's titled "Sex with Gymnasts". It's a lesbian set. There's nothing in the photos to make me think they're gymnasts. I was excited to download and view it. There's no stretching or upskirt splits. And they're nearly nude at the beginning! I hear gymnasts and I think tight shorts or tight leggings. But that's rare for them.
Videos are 965 in count, since January 2016, they've had the 4K option on the videos. It is a little sporadic back when they first started it but they're offering it on all of the newer videos. This shows the quality, at least to me, over those 965 videos, 961 have 1080p option. They also have 720p, 540p and 480p. The pictures are all downloadable and are 4000 long end in the "large" download file.
I even think I understand why I like their photos so much, the lighting is very natural. So you don't get the real warm colors like some sites use but you also do get crisp colors and I would even say the colors are more of a cool color. That's become more important as I've got older and my eyes don't especially like bright, vivid colors.
I also know why the site loads so slowly. It's that long scrolling page. Their "thumbnails" for each set are 350x400 resolution and I would estimate there's over 2,000 of those on that page.
I do like their solo videos. They have some with big toys and some with little toys and the models, as said, are very pretty.
As for the main male/female content: I've at least got over the feeling that it's silly to try and project love in a porn video but it's not just that. It's the mushy part that I don't do well with. I don't even do that mushy stuff in my life. They're up there making love. And I think that's where it loses me because I like the teasing and the playfulness and then they should go at it like jackrabbits. They never seem to respond to the teasing and playfulness like they've been teased. It's still not a big negative. The content is popular with some people and I'm okay with that.
The site is still a top site that's worth joining at least once. Can't complain at all about the technical quality or what looks like someone spends some time actually setting the scenes up. Just don't expect any double ass to mouth or even hair-pulling. Maybe that's why I like the solo videos better? Some of those solo ones look like they're trying to tear their insides out.
With solo content becoming more rare and focus on photos becoming even rarer, those who like those should definitely check this site out. And their lesbian content is on par with a typical lesbian scene. If they would fix that scrolling page so I could see all the photo sets, I would jump it up to 96-98 but that page will annoy some people. So, I'm going with a 90. |
