| Pros: |
- A glamour, artsy, hardcore site from the famed producer John B Root.
- Some of the most beautiful models you will ever see and there are some you won't see on other sites.
- It feels different than most hardcore sites, there's a focus on the action that you don't see very often these days.
- Excellent quality photo sets from John's camera (3000 long end, downloadable zip) and videos have up to 1080p, with 720p and 480p as options.
- Covers many niches including casting that can be as extreme as fisting, women using dildos on men, women with men in regular sex, men and women masturbating together and helping each other.
- Settings can often be a plain room with a sheet up as the backdrop to the backseat of a limo to a cliff off the side of a mountain. The variation really helps this site standout and break the monotony of mainstream porn.
- Download speeds are very good (80% of max).
- Bills through CCBill.
- Movies section different than videos section. |
| Cons: |
- No dates on scenes as far as I can tell. Don't know what the update schedule is.
- Minor one, site is in French. There is a button at the top in the middle of the page to change it to "En" or English. A lot of the titles of the scenes are still in French.
- Some of the longer hardcore scenes are in two parts. |
| Bottom Line: |
Explicite Art was one of the first sites I joined with the name "Art" in it. I had avoided Met-Art, Hegre Art (2008 or so). I scored this site a 94 in 2008 but the review must have been replaced with a newer re-review of 90.
The only real big question here is if it's still updating. If that's not a problem to you this is one of the very best, most unique, hardcore sites on the internet. Another place it stands out is the owner/producer is John B Root, he's up there with DDF and Viv Thomas. It shows in the photo sets that are some of the crispest, clearest photos on the internet and it shows in the production quality of the "sex" in the videos.
There isn't a formulaic feel here. You do see the blank room with a sheet or curtain as the backdrop quite a bit but then you get Lou Charmelle and Manu Ferrara in the back of a limo. Followed by a couple going at it on the cliff of a mountain.
This is the type of site the porn world is missing these days.
The numbers for the site are impressive:
Roughly 450 models, many of them you won't see on other sites and all are above average to top-tier level.
Almost 1,700 videos and 1,500 photo sets.
Some of the models have 10+ videos and most of those are the ones I haven't seen on any other sites. I get the feeling there is a theme with the monotonous blank room sets being flipped to one of the beautiful, exotic locations. Some of the landscapes in the photo sets are almost as beautiful as the models.
It's like this site and the direction was ahead of its time. I could see future porn sites turning to this more desolate, lonely settings becoming vast, colorful, almost breathtaking settings. Seeing two people having sex on the cliff of a mountain is about as close to breathtaking as I want my porn to be.
There is a movies section that ties scenes together and includes extra sets, there aren't a lot of these, 32, but each has 5-6 video scenes on each one and 5-6 photo sets from each one. Some of these are very classic looking like 80s/90s. There is a compilation section that groups the models and specific niche/action together like masturbation girls. The only problem with these are the French titles. Wonder how many read that as French titties? I tried to edit it twice thinking that's what I had typed!
The navigation works as good as it can. There is a video tab, photos tab, compilations tab, movies tab, models tab and highest rated tab. Everything is easy to use and find what you're looking for. They have a categories section that seems to be very accurate. I would imagine most professional photographers are obsessive about labeling and tagging and it shows here.
Don't expect it to be a tame art site. There are DPs, orgies, even a few bisexual MMF, the women using dildos on men scenes, so the content itself goes much more into the hardcore genre than any other site with the name Art in it. I'm sure the word is used for John's photography.
One area that might surprise you as much as it does me is the different models types. They have over 200 scenes listing the model(s) as Arabic, over 100 listing the model(s) as Asian, over 150 listed as black and over 1,000 listed as Caucasian (looks to include what we usually call Latina). I had read a story years ago about John Root's love of the beauty of all women of all colors and you can see it here.
I added 5 points to the score for that great mix of diversity.
If the amount of content was lower I would be bothered more by the no dates on content and not knowing if there is an update schedule but a combined 3,200 photo and video sets is a lot of content. When you add the diversity of the models, the changing scenery and settings to the artsy production using the scenery and settings it makes this one of my favorite sites. Going into the scenery and settings using the production and mood, the blank rooms with just a sheet or curtain are often solo sets, while the scenes in the beautiful locations often are groups or a couple making more passionate sex (not love) than any of today's popular heartcore sites has on them.
My two previous reviews of it averaged out to a 92 but those were from 8 and 11 years ago. In 2019, seeing a site with this much creativity and diversity makes it a 96 for me. Throw in that the billing is my CCBill. They do charge in Euros, so the price is a little higher than a lot of sites today, around $26 after the exchange rate but it is well worth it. I didn't even cancel it and let it go over a second month since I was busy part of the month and didn't get to thoroughly go through the site. It would take a lot for a standalone hardcore site to impress me as much as this one does.
Don't forget to check out the photo shoots. I think I said it one of my previous reviews. I like John's photography style better than any photographer in porn. He captures about 70% beauty and 30% slutty and dirty. It's one of my picks for top hardcore sites. |
