Errotica Archives review

Porn Talk

At Errotica Archives the focus is first on the women and girls. They have extremely good tastes in this area, culling some of the finest examples of the female form and putting them into sexual galleries and movies that make them something more than what they are on their own. Lighting, creative camera work, makeup, choices for setting and costume, all of it adds up to one ecstatic collection of pictures or 5-10 minutes of video.

A lot of erotica sites can feel cold, Errotica Archives is very warm. There is a glowing sensuality in the poses and teasing. The shots are full nudity, and the girls aren't afraid to put their hands between their thighs and tease themselves, though they are reserved. It isn't raunchy, just playful.

It's a great example of just how hot nude photography can be without losing any of its artistic sensibilities, which are very finely tuned in every example you'll find in the library.

Tech Talk

For videos, you'll have multiple 720p HD download options. There are DivX, WMV, and MP4 files to choose from. These all have 1280x720 screens and bit rates of between 2-3 Mbits/s. There is a small embedded Flash video you can stream for each as well, but it is a sample reel, not the full length scene of 5-10 minutes.

The picture galleries are perhaps the real focus of the site, though. They are large and the images in them are as well. You can save or view online images that go up to and beyond a 5600x3700 resolution. These are absolutely HUGE, and very beautiful. If you prefer there are smaller resolutions to choose from (4 sizes: small, medium, large, extra large). You can browse or download in any of these sizes.

Pictures are saved as galleries in compressed zip files.

Small Talk and Personal Opinion

Errotica Archives is far from unique in its platform -- you can find plenty of erotica and nude photography sites that are high quality -- but it's unique in its overall presentation. The site is simple, clean. The content is, too. You'll find some great examples of not just nude bodies but art work. Interesting textures, uses of light with the natural curves and shape of the girls' bodies, all of this makes for an erotica that is something more.

They do a very fine job of choosing models, with a good mix of caucasian girls with different body types: leggy blondes, plump breasted brunettes, lean glamour-type beauties, and petites. There are models from all over the world here though Europe looks like their biggest playground.

I thought the site was very well managed as well. It was a real breeze downloading and browsing through material. I particularly liked their model index, which gives a little information on each of the girls and lists all of galleries and movies she's been in, so you can pursue your favorites and find everything they've done to date.
