| Pros: |
-$9.95/month PU discount.
-Update rate: 1 photoset per day Monday through Friday.
-Ccbill is payment processor. A trusted name.
-There was no pre-checked cross-sell on sign-up page, when I joined.
-Excellent download speeds. I get 4-5 MB/sec, which is close to my maximum download speed.
-No download limits.
-No DRM.
-Large collection of attractive girls, in simple settings.
-Zip file downloads with a file name that shows:
Site name - Date posted - Photoset title - Model name - Photographer name - file definition. |
| Cons: |
Cons are basically minor. But slightly annoying.
-I keep getting logged out of the site. I get a page telling me "Access the full set of 60 photos by joining today!"
I am already a member. How many times do I have to join--before they remember that I already paid?
I have cookies enabled. I don't have this problem with MetArt, The Life Erotic, or Erotic Beauty.
-Once Domai became of part of MetArt, they added a text file to the zip download, that shows the models physical statistics:
Age when shot: Eye color: Hair color: Height: Weight:
But there is no personal history for the model. Which might make a connection in the audience mind to the model. Her hobbies, profession, likes and dislikes, etc.
Note: The zip files of model galleries posted before Domai became part of MetArt, and for a short while after, the text file only includes the name of the model, with no other information.
-No videos. Photo sets only.
-Navigation is basic. It could be improved a lot. |
| Bottom Line: |
I did a review of Domai for PU on 2008-11-17. So it's been almost 8 years since my first review of this site.
Has anything changed for the site since then?
I've gotten 8 years older.
(Joke)
Domai was started by Eolake Stobblehouse in 1997. It was one of the first softcore sites. It contained nude pictures of attractive women, with stories and articles about nudity, beauty, and culture. It promoted the simple enjoyment of life's pleasures, and the enjoyment of nude photography of women.
Stobblehouse became ill, and he sold Domai (and Goddess Nudes) to the MetArt network in 2014. He stated that he could not continue to run the sites because of his illness, but that he believed MetArt would continue to operate the sites in the same manner and style he had done.
Basically, that has been the case.
The membership price has gone up over the years, and MetArt dropped the membership loyalty discounts that Stobblehouse offered. But that is to be expected.
The monthly membership price for Domain is $9.99/month (recurring).
Domai offers a simple, natural approach to female nudity. It is softcore. Mainly solo female sets, but there are some sets of two girls together. But the two girls are not engaged in any sexual activity. And the solo sets are strictly softcore.
No female masturbation or explicit poses. The models are photographed in a wide variety of settings: in a house, at the beach or lake, in a park or woods, in an artist's studio.
The style of the photos is very simple, very natural. The models are not heavily made up, they are not glamorized. They don't wear exotic costumes.
The models are attractive to very attractive young women, in their late teens or early twenties. Mostly white. Mostly natural. I haven't found a single model who has an obvious boob job. Most of the models are tattoo-free. Not a lot of
piercing.
So the models would fit the girl-next-door description, except they are uniformly attractive to extremely attractive.
A better description of the site models would be the prettiest girls in high school or college.
Except they are nude.
And I haven't visited any nude high schools or colleges that I can recall.
(Another joke)
Domai has a cam site, domaicams, that is basically the same type of cam site offered by many porn sites.
You can watch the free cam portions, where the girls basically do nothing of interest, or you can pay for the private shows. The private shows can be expensive. Even the "free" part of the shows encourage tipping the models.
I haven't bothered to join any of the private shows. From what I've read, it can be cheaper to go to a live strip club or nudie bar and watch live girls, instead paying for cam shows. Cam shows are not a habit I want to support, because it can get expensive in a short time.
Years ago, MetArt had cam shows, that were basically free. You could tip the models, but the shows were like 30 minutes or an hour, and the girls were friendly, and attractive, there might be nudity or not, but it was far different from today's cam shows that are designed to get as much money from the viewers as possible.
The MetArt shows from years ago were designed to offer a free experience of the MetArt girls on cam. It was a simpler, less greedy mind-set that seems quaint. You could also pay for a private show in the old MetArt cam, but I never did.
The public cam shows were popular, and watched by a large number of MetArt members per session.
The photo sets are exclusive to this site. I've only seen 1 Domai photoset of a model that was later posted at a different pay site. Alinda had 1 photoset at Domai, and an expanded version of the photoset was posted at Amour Angels under the name of Alina. But that photo set is no longer posted at Domai. Although it's still posted at Amour Angels.
-Navigation is based on the structure that Eolake Stobblehouse had for many years. If they re-
designed the site to follow the Met-Art.com structure, the site navigation would be simpler and faster, and the search engine would be improved.
-Each photo set has multiple choice for download: low and medium until May 2013.
Starting in May 2013, low, medium and high definition for download.
-The file size for download is small. Two factors control this:
1. The number of photos in a set is small. Usually 60 photos or less, many being 20-50+ pictures.
2. The encoding is good.
For a price of $10 for a month, you can enjoy a large selection of naked girls in natural settings. The girls are not glamorized, but they are attractive. If you have extensive experience in softcore porn, you will recognize many of the
models. If you are in the mood for extremely softcore photos of beautiful women, Domai is worth trying.
Giving the site a score of 85.
There are a large number of attractive models (994).
There are a large number of contributing, professional photographers to the site (133).
The photography, although simple and natural, is professional. |
