Pros: |
- It was once my highest rated site, then fell out of favor, seems to be taking a different turn now.
- The growth of this site has to be one of the most impressive and fastest we have seen. Daily updates currently and the quality is as high as you get.
- As of 12/7/21: 785 models, 1,573 videos/films and 2,036 photosets.
- Everything is downloadable and as far as I know, unlimited. I don’t download enough anymore to really know.
- While its big sister site Met Art has become more explicit in recent years, Sex Art has been more explicit since the first scene. I will focus a little more on that in the bottom line.
- The technical quality is very high and it will be in the bottom line.
- Download speeds are good (80% of my max). |
Cons: |
- Don’t hate me for saying this. I still don’t like the hardcore scenes. I like hardcore porn as much as most do, but hardcore porn is everywhere. I would be fine with this being a solo/lesbian site.
- Their memberships can be confusing when upgrading or adding. I will explain that in the bottom line since I know they usually have a webmaster that checks in here. |
Bottom Line: |
I remember the days of thinking Met Art could be a lot more than it was. I even remember making comments about Met Art at least getting the attention of my side that likes teasing. Sex Art came along and showed what Met Art could be. It was kind of surprising to me that Met Art then started shooting more explicit photos. It was like Sex Art tested the waters. The early years of Sex Art were kind of messy. They were trying too hard. Take that as a compliment. I don’t remember who said it, “It’s still just porn and about nudity.” Sadly, that’s probably as far as we will get in our lifetimes but will say Sex Art does a very good job of blending the more innocent porn with the not innocent porn.
I don’t feel like much of an explanation is needed for why I don’t like the hardcore scenes. It’s just a feeling I have. It’s not bad hardcore porn. It’s just kind of there. I don’t like mentioning other sites in a review of a different site but I feel the same way about FTV adding hardcore. And didn’t ALS Scan try it too? The hardcore on sites that are rooted in softcore, to me, is a bad marketing idea. I will just say take any hardcore major network you know of. Would their fans be happy about a solo scene?
The bad part is it does seem like the number of hardcore scenes are increasing. Or I should say the percentage of new updates featuring hardcore scenes is increasing.
The confusing part with memberships and add-ons. There’s a good chance I was able to join two of their other sites on Black Friday prices. I joined Viv Thomas and Met Art for $5 each. I was thinking maybe I would add ALS Scan since I haven’t been on it in a long time. I clicked to add it and received this choice: $39.99 per month or $100 for a year. I haven’t paid $40 for a site since those very rare Japanese sites. And have never seen ALS Scan priced at $40 per month. I just thought it was strange that I was able to add those others at $5 per month. Not that I think ALS Scan or any of these sites should be $5. These sites stand on their own strongly at even $20 per month.
My favorite part of Sex Art are the pictures. The newer photosets are downloadable in multiple resolutions but the high one has photos that are 5800x3800 resolution and they have a nice blend of portrait and landscape orientated photos. The settings are usually pretty and even will use the word, neutral, so you don’t get the clash between the models and colors in the background. I don’t even know if it’s a compliment to tell a Met Art site its pictures are my favorite part. The videos are as impressive in technical quality at 4K, 1080, 720, 360 and 260. The videos have some story to them but are not as long as I expect from story-driven porn. Most of the newer hardcore videos are under 30 minutes. I’m going to just focus on one and it’s a newer one. It is titled, “Just Relax” and the screencap has a very nice view of Lilly Bella standing, pulling her panties and it’s from behind her. That looked like it was going to be a solo scene. I then clicked the video. I stream everything before downloading. The scene starts with male Maxmillian Dior. I hate showing my impulsive side this much but I just closed it. If you wonder why I would think it was solo, it’s the only one of the last 20 scenes that just shows a female in the preview screencap.
That is going to be the problem I have. From what I can tell, Sex Art is now almost exclusively hardcore male/female or lesbian. I am guessing the new solo content is on Met Art X, which is fine, but it shows how much this site has changed (for good and bad, in my opinion). I do know the bigger picture is to just join the entire Met Art Network and then you’ll get everything.
I’m not going to knock the score down on it just for that personal preference. The content here is very good if you like hardcore that’s not offensive (which I do) and aren’t expecting the solo scenes that used to be more common on here. I was starting to think I just thought there was less hardcore on this site but using the tags, it shows 291 “boy-girl” scenes and all 291 of those with that tag started in 2019. The site has been around since 2013 or 2012. There’s a chance the tags aren’t 100% accurate but you can see that the last two and a half years have produced nearly 300 boy-girl scenes.
It’s still a top quality site, preferences aside, I just can’t score it as high as I used to. This used to be a 96-99 site for me. |
