| Pros: |
-Bill through CCBill
-PU discounted price of $19.99. This site is worth at least double that, considering the quantity and quality.
-First class customer service.
-Very complete tour of the site. You know exactly what you will get.
-Huge quantity of material gong back to 1998. You cannot download everything you might like in one 30 day subscription.
-Daily updates of about four to six photosets.
-Stunningly beautiful models. Hardly a disappointing one on the entire site. I did not see a single tattoo.
-Outstanding specs. Hi res photos recently come in at 5616x3744, videos at 1920x1080. |
| Cons: |
-Mostly Eastern European models, which results in close to zero ethnic variety.
-Mostly teens to twenties models and most are extremely thin. In some cases their rib cages and pelvic bones are quite visible. Despite their beautiful faces, many are not sexy.
-Little variety of body shapes.
-Too much emphasis on the art aspects of the female body. If I wanted art I would take a class or perhaps glance through Vogue. I like more explicit.
-Most sets seem to have no natural progression, such as stripping. The sets often have the model clothed in the last few photos. You could randomly mix up the order of the photos and they would be just as logical. |
| Bottom Line: |
It has been more than three years since I last joined Metart. In spite of some flaws, it is a great site for many objective reasons. The low price, as well as the quality of the content and the models makes this a site that should be ranked at the top of the nude photos category. Lk2fireone’s review says a lot that I totally agree with and he describes it very well.
I want to describe the subjective experience of being on the site. The layout and navigation are both logical and easy to use. The search engine is great. It is inviting, warm and friendly and it practically begs for you to get into checking out the content.I am referring to the old format here, as they just launched a Beta. I did not use it much yet, so I can't say much about it.
Once you are inside the site it is a lot like being in the jungle hunting for the good stuff which is camouflaged. I am not so much into art as I am into more explicit photos. There are some here, but it is hard to find them due to so much art. What you mostly see are side shots, legs crossed, jumping, use of props etc. Sometimes the photos are black and white, sometimes sepia, some with a soft focus, some with a low depth of field, where one part is in focus where other parts are not. Some sets are shot in the dark without much light. This is soft core, but that term does not tell all. I can find soft core erotic, but don’t find art erotic. Some sets have no explicit shots, most have only a few. The videos mostly do not tease as they have the model moving too fast. I would prefer a scene to linger as appropriate. Finding what I like is tedious as there is just so much to see. When you finish checking out a photoset and want to move on, you can look for more of the same model and many have multiple photosets, more of the same photographer, especially if you like his style of photography and model presentation, more sets with the same tags, or the one updated before or after-you can see a thumbnail of the model.
Tags are comments that subscribers add to the sets. You may see for example, “killer body” or “pretty face“. Obviously these are a matter of opinion. Some tags are not so easy to use though. If you use “unshaven“, you get sets with full bush or even as little as barely a landing strip. You never know what may turn up in the search. The same is true for “open labia” . There is a large gray area here. In some sets you cannot even see the labia, but the tag is still there.
I find that about an hour of downloading is about all that I can reasonably do. This requires a lot of patience and attention to detail. The temptation to go all over the place following the searches can be a bit overwhelming. Should I check out more of the same model or should I switch to searching for open labia?
I cannot leave without mentioning the customer service. I accidentally signed up twice using two different billing processors. Each came with a prechecked cross sell for another site and I did not catch that. The member name and password were randomly generated and I did not know which went with each subscription. It was a complete mess so I contacted customer service. Despite that fact that it was a Sunday, everything was corrected in about five minutes. No hassles, no runaround that I should contact the processors. My highest compliments to their staff!! |
