Overview:
When it comes to sophisticated imagery, lush atmosphere, and thoroughly believable chemistry or, hell, even "romance," few sites achieve the results that have made X-Art one of the flagship erotic hardcore sites in the adult realm. Since 2009, X-Art has been casting budding young porn starlets (and the occasion veteran or A-lister) in hardcore scenes that are a mile away from the Bang Bros, Brazzers, and Mofos of this world and are much closer to, well… Mills & Boon novels, I guess. Lookit, some of this porn can seem a little silly what with every surface being draped in white, the light filtered by something resembling a gentle fog, and the absolutely flawless (but somehow quite natural) skin tones of the models (they look like little fucking angels), but make no mistake: the X in "X-Art" definitely earns its place. Holding very little back when it comes to sex, X-Art sees the likes of Jenna J. Ross and Aubrey Star not only administer slow, tender fellatio, but drop to all fours and have their asses filled by some mighty substantial cocks. Anal, DPs, strapped lesbians, cum-sharing; there's ample variety among X-Art's hundreds of gorgeous High Definition movies and photo galleries, which, recently upgraded, look even better than before, better now than the vast majority of porn on the market. Can good looks and daring carnal acts alone cause X-Art to part with your hard-earned money to the tune of $19.95. Hey, that's surprisingly affordable for a site as classy and renowned as this. So, uh, X-Art? I think this might be love.

Pros:
X-Art's house style seems one-third photographic excellence, one-third softcore nude glamour photography, and one-third staged nature photography documenting the mating and courting habits of humans. Well, the outdoor shoots and swimming pool romps help make all this super-hot sex seem as natural as a frog hopping but as sexually arousing (to humans, specifically) as can be!

You wanted 4K videos at X-Art? You got 4K videos at X-Art! The new and gradually increasing trickle of newly-shot Ultra-HD videos all reach crystal clear resolutions of 3840x2160 pixels in MP4 containers. Streams are also available in 4K, which is quite staggering a feat of server strength and proof of X-Art's devotion to photographic excellence. Oh, and speaking of photos, X-Art's galleries are offered online and zipped 1200, 2000, and 4000px.

Just who will you be watching walk naked into the frame as X-Art's title card fades? Only the lusty newbie crew of Joseline Kelly, blonde stunner Naomi Woods, German redhead Anny Aurora, and 18-year-old Czech beauty Dina, as well as more established performers Riley Reid, Veronica Rodriguez, Jenna J. Ross, Malena Morgan, and Anikka Albrite. Paired with studly guys or each other, or thrown into a group mix, the results are often spectacular.

Although the 4K videos only account for a small portion of the X-Art archive, there's well over 700 other movies in good ol' 1080p HD formats to fill the gaping void in your tech-obsessed soul. Paying for the surprisingly affordable $9.95-1-week trial X-Art is now easier than ever, too, with Paypal now an accepted payment method.

Cons:
X-Art offers most sexual acts falling between female masturbation and DP-heavy group sex on the "holy shit!" spectrum, but does so rather quietly and with little obvious fanfare. Although this variety helps make X-Art great, there are other areas - performer, setting, premise, direction, and energy level - that could stand to expand their wider range.

X-Art's sex can be a bit too quiet, the performers sometimes seeming unenthusiastic. Some viewers will want more obviously declared displays of excitement and arousal from the performers. Others will be pleased to find a site that isn't loaded with inane (and hardly dirty) dirty talk, brainless tit-shaking, twerking, or invasive questioning about a performer's sexual history. You can't please everyone.

X-Art is growing and will soon pose more problems to users in search of very specific material. The search and browse tools in place here are adequate but not particularly impressive. Keyword tags are especially effective at helping members find similar content and they'd be a very welcome addition to X-Art's infrastructure.

Pre-checked membership to Colette, which, though pretty fucking impressive, shouldn't be so discretely tacked onto your transaction at X-Art. Costing $29.95 for the first month with automatic renewals at the same cost every two months thereafter, this is quite the expensive little "special offer" and one you'd do well to cancel before completing your X-Art membership transaction.

Conclusion:
X-Art's growing archive now welcomes about two new videos and four new galleries every week, adding more and more impressive young performers to its brilliant roster, placing them alongside relative veterans like Aaliyah Love, Japan's Marica Hase, and Australia's Gigi Allen. There are many thoroughly erotic performances at X-Art - Gigi Allen's hetero scene being one of them - but there's also a few that fall a little flat, lacking the energy or subtle enthusiasm of the better takes. With the very recent arrival of 4K Ultra-HD videos, there's even more reason to expect X-Art will remain on the cutting edge, technically speaking, and lead their competitors towards stronger photography that doesn't look like it was shot by two college seniors somehow managing to pass a vape-pen back and forth. Enough updates arrive each week to keep most folks happy, though picking up the pace a little sure wouldn't hurt anyone. X-Art is almost at its 800th scene, a significant achievement, and seems set to only keep improving. As long as young pornstars are eager to shoot lusty, atmospheric scenes for some of the most technically advanced directors and photographers in the business, like its members' erections, X-Art will thrive.
