Intro:
Most pornographers tend to fall into one of two camps: they either pride themselves on producing hardcore smut that depicts a variety of debaucherous sexual activities in as explicit a manner as possible or they fancy themselves erotic artists who prize restraint, class, and sophistication above all else. Very rarely do these worlds combine at the most fundamental level. John B. Root, a man who believes that porn need not be exclusively explicit nor subtle, launched Explicite Art to show the world that the two styles can be combined to marvelous effect. With a tour page showcasing the stunning beauty of the European (and mostly French) adult performers and their willingness to expose themselves in a very raw way before a camera, Explicite Art makes one hell of a first impression. Touting HD videos, six original and exclusive updates per week, and over 1,000 photo galleries sporting incredible high-resolution images, Root’s work commands your attention. (It also helps that these gorgeous young women have filled their pussies and asses with cocks, huge dildos, and often each others’ fists.) At a regular monthly price of $29.95 per month, Explicite Art might be a little on the expensive side, but Mr. Pink’s readers can rejoice in the glory of a five dollar discount, giving you little reason not to investigate this intriguing mix of rough hardcore and gentle erotica further.

Pros:
Obviously the most impressive and gratifying aspect of Explicite Art is the fantastic mix of hardcore fucking and refined European-style erotic modeling. You’re usually introduced to the models in a fairly sedate manner before they drop to their knees and prove what vicious sluts they are, sucking cock, impaling themselves on monster dildos, fisting and eating each other out, and placing themselves on the receiving end of a huge milky cumshot.

High quality images and videos are another great component of Explicite Art. Photos are now available in three resolutions - 400x600, 1200x1800, 2000x3000 pixels - with a zip file providing a downloadable high-res archive. Videos are provided in MOV, DivX, MPEG, MP4, WMV, and M4V formats, with the MOV hitting 1280x720 pixels and looking fantastic!

Updates arrive once a day, Monday through Saturday, giving you six new items to view each week. Everything posted on the site is 100% exclusive and won’t be found filling space on dozens of other websites like many of Root’s competitors’ product.

Explicite Art is a beautifully designed site that is a pleasure to view. From the page layouts (simple, elegant) to the navigation system (detailed yet straightforward), there’s little room for complaint in this particular area. There’s also a thorough advanced search function that allows you to find scenes and galleries that feature girls adhering to your creepily specific physical requirements and sexual activities.

Cons:
Explicite Art’s servers don’t seem to perform as well as one might hope. Downloads, especially HD videos, take quite a while to save to your hard drive and there are frequent lulls in the data transfers. With such great content ready for your anxious eyes, it’s a shame Root doesn’t deliver as fast as his fans would no doubt like.

Although you will consistently see six updates each week, a few of these can be older content that has gone offline, taken a rest, and is now being rotated back into the archives. It’s not so hard to tell which updates these are as the quality is significantly lower than most “new” material. What a shame!

The model’s pages don’t present much, if any, information about the girl you’re ogling. It’d be great to see a proper profile decked out with a bio, Q&A, and maybe even a video interview or two. These models are just too stunning to be left so mysterious.

Some scenes are split between two updates, making it difficult to view the whole shebang from beginning to messy, messy end. (In fact, you’d have to download each episode separately then do some editing/combining of your own to get them into one neat video file.)?

Conclusion:
Explicite Art barely makes a misstep throughout the various parts of its 2,000-item-plus archive. Sure, there are a few small issues (rotated content being the main source of disappointment), but overall Mr. John B. Root has managed to put together a thoroughly impressive website that perfectly mixes hardcore fucking and sophisticated softcore Euro-style modeling; and that’s no easy feat. There’s little reason to expect Explicite Art will falter and flounder anytime soon, so head on over, fellas, and check out one of the most memorable porn sites on the ‘net.
