"Sahara" searing heat in a desert oasis...

Posted by Adam

spacer When you read the synopsis that accompanies the latest creation from SexArt director Bo Llanberris you're provided with a brief but vividly detailed bit of backstory. You'll read of a couple separated by both time, distance, and circumstance, and you'll follow along as a man does whatever it takes to be reunited with his beloved. That Llanberris can tell such an evocative tale in words is another feather in this multi-talented artist's cap. And as the film begins we're reminded, yet again, of his signature gift for crafting beautiful and beguiling imagery with a camera.

The opening frames present a single green palm tree and a blooming bush in the middle of a sun-bleached landscape — a striking image in its own right. But the desert sands are subtly and masterfully overlaid with a shimmering layer of undulating water. If I'm reading him right, the author is saying: There is heat in this desert, but there is also life, and beauty.

My interpretation is quickly validated. As our intrepid hero, Kris Slater, crosses the blazing, drifting sands, his lover, Cameron Canada, awaits him in a cool, shady refuge. While waiting she doesn't pace or fret, rather she indulges in what may be a session of quiet meditation, relaxing yoga stretches, and intimate self-massage. Ms. Canada's shapely body not only sports several arresting adornments, but also boasts eye-opening flexibility. When she performs, and holds, dramatic full splits the prospects are tantalizing, indeed.

Reunited at last the couple waste not a moment. Picking up where we can easily imagine they left off, they proceed to pleasure each other with the ease, finesse, and familiarity only long-time lovers can share. They don't rush, and they don't hesitate, they simply savor the sensual delight they give and take from one another. And the camera, as if propelled by a desert breeze, slides, soars, and floats aloft adding to the sense of atmosphere as it artfully captures all their amorous activity. Let your mind and senses take a trip to "Sahara," but be prepared, because it's going to get extremely hot.

XBiz Award

14 Jan 2013

 

spacer SexArt is pleased to announce that we have been named "Glamcore Site of the Year" at the 2013 XBiz Awards. Considering that SexArt launched in April of 2012 and hasn't even celebrated its first birthday yet, the award is all the more impressive. XBiz is the leading adult industry authority, and provides unequalled news and information about the entire field — from feature films, to online erotica, to technology and sex toys. The XBiz Awards are, quite simply, the biggest and most respected honors in the world of erotic entertainment.

The 2013 XBiz awards were held on January 11, 2013, at the legendary Century Plaza Hotel in Century City, California. The event was hosted by XXX superstar Tera Patrick and the vast ballroom was packed with a veritable galaxy of adult stars and industry movers and shakers. Riley Reid, the star of two SexArt erotic movies, won the "Best New Starlet" award, and also announced SexArt's "Glamcore Site of the Year" award.

SexArt wasn't the only site in the MetArt Network to win at the XBiz Awards. The Free Speech Coalition, the leading adult industry legal advocacy organization, gave MetArt the "Leadership Award" for the company's extensive efforts on behalf of adult industry performers and producers

The award winning success of SexArt is just one part of the MetArt Network story. Recent months have seen a dramatic expansion of the MetArt family of premium erotic art and entertainment websites. RylskyArt.com, a showcase of longtime MetArt photographer Rylsky, was recently launched, and MetArt has also acquired legendary director Michael Ninn's site — including his entire motion picture catalog, as well as highline European studio MagikSex.com, star erotic photographer HollyRandall.com, and industry pioneer ALS.com.

The MetArt Network and SexArt would like to thank XBiz for the "Glamcore Site of the Year" award. The MetArt Network has big plans for the coming year and we hope to be back on the red carpet at the XBiz Awards 2014!

"Looking Back at 2012" - by Bo Llanberris

Posted by Bo
07 Jan 2013

spacer

The message that no matter how much we try we cannot control our destiny is the lesson of 2012.  If you asked me two years ago what I would be doing for a living, I never would have dreamed that I would be an erotic film director.  If someone had said to me two years ago that I would be working with some of the most beautiful women in the world and creating “sex art,” I would have laughed and probably said something like, “From your mouth to God’s ear.”    Yet here I am.  It’s Jan 04, 2013 and as of this date I have over 100 erotic films under my belt, and to my delight and surprise it appears that people like them.  I remember the day that I looked up at the sky and said to whatever was up there, “Just let me successful in my chosen field… Filmmaking.”  …and shortly thereafter I became a successful filmmaker in Adult Erotica. Whatever is up there has a sense of humor.

The journey into adult erotica was and continues to be an interesting one to say the least.  Having worked with people like Malena Morgan, Elle Alexandra, Rilee Marks, Presley Hart, Jessie Volt, Jessie Andrews and on and on, you cannot help but walk away a changed man.  Some of these women are the most liberated, most erotic, and probably the most intelligent people I have yet to meet.  Their view on sexuality is at the very least insightful and unencumbered, which makes them different than most folks, and in many ways more honest.  But the biggest surprise came from meeting the male performers.  I was expecting to meet a bunch of meat-heads who just wanted to get laid and drive corvettes. Instead, I found good souls, warm smiles, and the same insightful liberation that comes with losing the societal chains of public opinion.  Not a corvette in the crowd. These people have become my friends and I can honestly say that am all the better for it.

With all that I gained this year I also lost a few long time friends to the twists and turns of life and progress.  Those were moments of great despair, but I became wiser from the loss and gained strength by new opportunities and new horizons.    I’m sure this rings a bell with just about everyone who reads this. 

Since I have seen and be involved with so much sex this year, I feel I am qualified to present some pretty meaningless awards.  So here are some moments that really stood out for me, that I, for no reason, decided to give out awards for:

Best attitude towards sex on set: Charlotte Stokely and Riley Reid. 

Sweetest Personality On Set:  Cassie Lane

Most Fun Personality On Set: Elle Alexandra

Most Fun Night Filming:  “Stepping out” with Malena Morgan, Elle Alexandra and Lexi Bloom

Sexiest Blowjob: Cindy Starfall, “Gypsy Fortune” Lexi Bloom,“My First”

Most Intense Orgasm: Malena Morgan, “Dreamer II” Casey Calvert, “White Room”

Most “in love” Love Scene: Jasmine W, Logan Pierce “The Promise”

Hottest Orgasm:  Maddy O’Reilly, “Intensify”  (Holy fuck!)

Most Willing To Do Anything I Say For The Art Of It:  Katie Jordin, “Sparkman and Chrome Girl”

Most Surprises While Filming: William Corazon, Cindy Starfall, and Marica Hase “Undercover Dangerous 1”  (Marica squirted so far it almost hit our camera operator in the face from 15 feet away.  No one knew it was coming.)

Funniest Moment In A Film: Elle Alexandra, “Roux”  (She was masturbating on the edge of a bathtub filled with water and it broke just as she was hitting orgasm. Water and Elle spilled everywhere.) 

Most Artistic Performance in B/G: William Corazon, Giselle Leon,“The Expressionist” 

Most Artistic Performance in G/G: Elle Alexandra, Melina Morgan,“Elle Tree”

Coolest Fucking Film I Think I Did: “Fire Dance” Malena Morgan and Jessie Andrews.

Coolest Fucking Film You Think I Did:  “Intensify” Maddy O’Reilly, Danny Mountain

I look forward to bringing you more evolved and refined adult entertainment over the next year, and I truly thank you all for becoming members, for your loyalty, your honesty and your support. 

Cheers!

"Intensify" — vivid visions of explosive passion...

Posted by Adam
23 Nov 2012

spacer The SexArt HD erotic movies I've evaluated thus far have all had, to one degree or another, a story or some narrative arc. To tell any story within the short running time of the typical SexArt production takes great skill on the part of the film makers — they don't have a lot of time to waste on dialog or exposition when the emphasis, rightfully, is on creating erotic atmosphere, tension, and action.

"Intensify" dispenses entirely with plot. There is no story. None. The concept came from a random thought, and was made possible by ultra-high speed photography. But that's only the mechanical, technical aspect. The driving force behind "Intensify" is the burning passion the stars have for one another. If Maddy O'Reilly and Danny Mountain aren't lovers off-camera I would be highly surprised. And if they are only coming together to perform in a scene — two professionals, two strangers — their performance is truly award-worthy. This is not cookie-cutter, tab A/slot B sex — this is raw, sincere, passionate, driven, explosive passion. And that passion — stunning in its own right — is elevated to the level of erotic art by the technical premise Bo Llanberris and his technical crew have so brilliantly executed here.

 

The film begins with super-slow motion footage of Ms. O'Reilly standing nude, the wind subtly blowing through her hair. She jumps, gleefully — but very, very slowly! — on a mini-trampoline. Mountain's hand playfully swats O'Reilly's ass and the camera captures the energy as it ripples through her flesh. Water splashed on Maddy from off-camera shimmers as it moves through the air returning to its source. My descriptions can't do this footage justice, you've really got to see it to fully appreciate it.

And that's even more true of the sexual performance that follows. Shot entirely on a stark, seamless white set, the emphasis is completely on the actors. As I mentioned before, I don't think for a minute they're acting — this is a couple making love without a thought of the outside world or the cameras tracking, panning, and soaring over them. The multiple orgasms O'Reilly experiences between the eight minute and the nine minute mark are one extended highlight — and the film has only reached the halfway point, with copious thrills yet to come.

Please don't consider this a spoiler, and forgive the pun(s) when I suggest that most keen-eyed viewers will have seen it coming, but when Mountain finally reaches his peak, the high-speed camera is returned to duty and captures his multiple eruptions in ultra-slow motion. By the look on Maddy's face, she's enjoying the action as much as her partner. After the end credits you'll find some extra footage. If that's how this couple spends their break time, no wonder "Intensify" is so intense.

"Undercover Dangerous" — license to thrill...

Posted by Adam
06 Nov 2012

 

spacer My first thought while reading the synopsis of this forthcoming SexArt HD erotic movie release was "spy spoof." That snap judgment might well have been accurate — the mainstream and adult entertainment industries have both produced countless "humorous" take-offs of the Bond/spy film genre over the years. Thankfully, "Undercover Dangerous" isn't a spoof at all, indeed, it's a respectful and skillfully executed homage to classic spy movies.

No film of this type would be complete without at least one impressive gadget, and "Undercover Dangerous" boasts nothing less than a gleaming black Fisker Karma, complete with "SEXART" license plate. A femme fatale with murder on her mind is another requisite, and she's here in the form of blade-wielding Red One. And those who would expect a film set in Japan to feature a fight to the death featuring airborne ninja warriors in fierce hand-to-hand martial arts action will not be disappointed.

As entertaining and expertly executed as the spy film elements of this feature are, they're confined to the first two minutes of the movie. After a particularly striking title sequence with the credits superimposed over the image of an exotic jellyfish undulating in bright blue water, the true purpose of secret agent William Dangerous' (played by William Corazon) mission is revealed.

A debriefing session with two amorous Asian special agents — Cindy Starfall and Marica Hase — gets down to business quickly. The two beauties, in full geisha costume, treat Corazon to a multi-hand, double-mouthed pleasure session. More than suitably primed for action, the spy proceeds to make vigorous love to both beauties — fucking one, then the other, eating them, fucking them while they eat each other, taking full advantage of the situation to everyone's (including the viewer's) benefit.

My SexArt security clearance prevents me from revealing too much more about "Undercover Dangerous," but I will offer these two clues: The film includes more than one explosive surprise. And I don't think we've seen the last of "Undercover" agent William Dangerous, either.

"Prince of the Full Moon" — things that go bump in the night...

Posted by Jon
22 Oct 2012

 

spacer Halloween has always been — despite the candy and kiddies in cute costumes — the most "adult" holiday on the calendar. And the emphasis on the erotic aspects of the holiday has grown dramatically over the last decade. On the night when ghosts, ghouls, goblins, monsters, mutants — and sexy nurses — gather to celebrate, it's worth noting that many of the classic tales of horror, from vampires to werewolves, have a distinctly erotic element. So, in the Halloween spirit, the mad scientists at SexArt have concocted a very special treat.
 
"Prince of the Full Moon" begins with a voice-over narration that not only establishes the film's premise, it also offers a symbolic tip of the hat to classic horror films of yore, as well as the creature-feature shows that were once a staple of late-night TV.
 
Yes, it's a dark and stormy night. And we have a voluptuous and exotic young woman in peril — Aria Salazar making her erotic film debut. Add a mysterious mansion in the middle of nowhere, and its even more mysterious inhabitant, played by William Corazon, and we have all the elements necessary for a night of chills and thrills.
 
Candles flicker in the dimly lit space. The atmosphere is heavy, ominous, and the attraction between the lost lamb and the mysterious man is instantaneous and overwhelming. Even though one can sense the chill in that vast, gloomy space — a feeling enhanced by periodic flashes of lighting and booming thunder — the sheet the twosome occupy is soon stained with the free-flowing sweat of ravenous passion.
 
The action here isn't only moody and evocative, it's also particularly athletic — the couple push each other's buttons and each other's limits while transitioning through a plethora of positions ensuring not only their mutual satisfaction, but that of the viewer, as well.
 
"Prince of the Full Moon" offers many erotic treats, along with a trick or two. Consider yourself warned.
 
Prince of the Full Moon releases this Thursday, October 25th.

"Melancholy" — overcoming heartache with overwhelming ecstasy...

Posted by Adam
15 Oct 2012

 

spacer While the star and creators of "Melancholy" are well known to members of TheLifeErotic.com, one of our sister sites in the MetArt Family of sites, this film marks their debut at SexArt. And what a stunning debut it is!
 
From the moment it starts, through each transition as the story unfolds, and as the sexual, emotional, and visual intensity builds, I am riveted to the screen. Truly, this is bravura filmmaking artfully scaled down to fit within a scant eight minutes of run time. It tells a richly nuanced story, complete with voice over narration, helpful subtitles, and powerful flashbacks. It is beautifully performed, shot, and edited. And it is absolutely one of the flat out hottest solo female productions I've ever experienced.
 
Don't, under any circumstances, let the film's title put you off. While it's true that a heartbreak sets the story in motion, the "Melancholy" of the title is a passing phase, a challenge to be dealt with. And Emily J deals with it in no uncertain terms! Now, I can tell you that this is, at the most basic level, a female masturbation movie. But it's the realism, the emotion, the electricity, the raw hunger of a woman alone that elevates this to such staggering erotic heights.
 
With such a beautiful and gifted performer to work with, the director/editor team of Paul and Ilona Black might have hung back and let their star work her magic. Instead they've employed a dazzling array of cinematic techniques to enhance and intensify the on-screen action — "Melancholy" is packed with images and effects that combine to create an erotic visual thrill-ride, with eye-popping surprises around every turn.
 
Physically, facially, emotionally, and erotically, Emily J is a wonder, a true star. And the concept, execution, and technique employed by Paul and Ilona Black is masterful. Engaging, moving, surprising, and profoundly satisfying, "Melancholy" is nothing less than a masterpiece of short form erotic movie making.

"The Promise" — making love, as only lovers can...

Posted by Adam
06 Oct 2012

 

spacer The fundamental skills required of erotic performers couldn't be more basic. The sex drive is instinctual and even the most inept or ignorant individual can figure out the basics quite easily. But take what happens in a private bedroom and put it at the center of a movie set, and things quickly get more complicated. Not only are the performers required to deliver the action, they're also supposed to make it look genuine to the camera while surrounded by onlookers and equipment. Furthermore, they may be having sex with somebody they've only just met, or somebody they know and don't particularly like, or someone they find personally or physically unappealing. The point I'm attempting to make is this: you may have done what the performers are doing, but that doesn't mean you could do the same thing in an erotic film.
 
Let all that serve as background to the premise of "The Promise." The two stars of the production — Jasmine W. and Logan Pierce — are both adult industry pros. And even a newcomer to SexArt is probably familiar with some of the films they've performed in. But what you may not know, and what I've only just learned, is that the twosome are in a committed, romantic relationship in what's commonly known as "real life." Although they work — and work well — with others, in "The Promise" they work together — in this setting they're not simply skilled and polished professionals, they're genuine, actual, lovers. That fact is abundantly evident here, and gives the production a sense of passion, attraction, connection, and realism that simply can't be faked.
 
Here's another notable bit of background information: Jasmine W.'s lent star quality sizzle to her numerous girl/girl performances, but here, for the first time, she makes love to a man who happens to be her actual lover. That fact, in and of itself, is reason enough to schedule a viewing.
 
With all these facts in my mind, I approached "The Promise" with high expectations. And those expectations were immediately met, and quickly exceeded. Jasmine's solo masturbation scene that opens the film is the perfect prelude. When Logan Pierce arrives, shortly after the seven minute mark, the sparks begin to fly. It's immediately clear that these two are happy — delighted, thrilled — to be together, and they enjoy every moment of it. The shared smiles, the subtle, fleeting looks, the prolonged eye-contact, are all clues to the bond the couple shares. And the sex reflects that connection. I get the sense that they're very much in a world of their own, that they're alone, together, and the lights, cameras, and crew members surrounding them have been tuned out entirely so that they can satisfy their own passionate desires. This production could only have come from SexArt, but it's the "LoveArt" aspect that makes "The Promise" so powerfully engaging.

Mainstreaming Porn -- By Bo Llanberris

Posted by BoLlanberris
24 Sep 2012

 

spacer What do you think would happen if you went to the latest Spielberg movie and in between the guys saving Private Ryan and the crazy scientist stuffing garbage down the flux capacitor to head Back to the Future, there were also graphic love scenes.  Intro SexArt.
 
My name is Bo Llanberris and I am a mainstream filmmaker and director.  I was trained in one of the finest film schools in the world. I set out to make great movies and to work with the world’s top filmmakers - and I did both.  I’ve rubbed shoulders with some of the biggest names in Hollywood, and I’ve been down in the trenches with the nitty-gritty crew of independent filmmaking with no real money, just the goal of getting into Sundance or the like.
 
Over a year ago I was contacted by the guys over at MetArt.  They had this crazy idea about making high quality, cinema worthy, adult love scenes, in a site they wanted to launch called SexArt, a sister site to MetArt.  They didn’t want to make silly parodies and hire people who couldn’t and shouldn’t act, they wanted to do much more. You can call what they wanted to do porn, but somehow that word does not really describe what they had in mind.  They wanted to take MetArt, keep the high quality, and go graphic.
 
I have to tell you, although I felt the idea was worthy and somewhat lofty, as a mainstream filmmaker I didn’t want to be a part of it.  All I could see was “me doing porn,” which is not exactly why I spent all that money and effort to go to film school.  But after some further discussions we decided to give it a try and do one short film shoot as an experiment to see what it would be like.
 
Mind you now, I had never done porn before.  Sure, I watched it, but I never imagined being a part of it as a filmmaker, and certainly not as a director.  But in a very real way I was intrigued by the idea of making a love scene that was graphic and a turn on, but not like you’d see on a Tube site.  I wondered what would happen if I brought in a world class cinematographer, a top Hollywood composer and a professional Hollywood film crew, and approached a graphic love scene like it was in “An Officer and a Gentleman” or “The Titanic,” or “Pretty Woman.”
 
The result was awesome, but completely untested and no one, not even the wise folks at MetArt, knew what was going to happen.  Would the masses like it, or is everyone just interested in porn for the porn and damn everything else.  Did I make a mistake as a mainstream filmmaker and produce erotica that no one really wants to see?  As it turned out, people started to respond and respond well.  Comments like, “It’s about time” and “Finally, quality adult entertainment” came out of the blogosphere.   Our efforts were rewarded by sign-ups and great reviews and requests for more.
 
So now we all realized we did something right and the guys at MetArt were on to something.  And I realized that porn isn’t just a thing on “Youjizz” or behind a closed door in some dark alley.  Everyone has sex, and lots of people, although not all, make love, and those people like to see other people make love too.  Some of the greatest pleasures in my short life have been making love to a beautiful woman, where sex was really hot but it was our hearts that drove the passion.    And that, for the most part, is what I strive to show in SexArt - real cinema quality graphic love scenes that are shot like mainstream movies and are also hot and honest.  Looking back at the 100 plus films I’ve completed for SexArt, I realize I am a changed man.  Where once I was aghast at the idea of doing porn, I am now proud to say this is what I do, this is who I work with, and, until I’m asked to stop or no one likes it, I will continue on doing it.

Random thoughts on adult entertainment, from erotic to explicit...

Posted by Jon
17 Sep 2012

 

spacer Some of you may be aware that I'm the blogger in residence at MetArt. A member left a comment there that, while I chose not to publish it, got me thinking. In essence, this fellow expressed his distain for hardcore (either girl/girl or boy/girl) erotica and feared that MetArt was somehow drifting in the direction of SexArt. I should add that this individual is an articulate, thoughtful, and passionate consumer of erotica — and that he voluntarily withdrew and apologized for his self-described "rant."
 
Let me address this, if only in a somewhat random, rambling fashion.
 
First, let me say that the expanding MetArt Network is a group — perhaps family is the better word — of sites with a single, unifying approach to erotica, but which, individually, provide a unique product to a variety of audiences. You may love SexArt and hate MetArt. Although I think that's unlikely, that's your choice, based on your tastes and desires. While the creative minds at the MetArt Network will never try to provide "something for everybody," they do strive to offer a wide range of products to appeal to a wide range of discriminating customers.
 
I can state, flatly, that MetArt will never become SexArt. But, when I evaluate MetArt erotic pictorials, there are absolutely those times when I wish the model could take it a step further. In girl/girl photo sets, in particular, the fact that the models cannot interact in an explicitly sexual manner (no genital contact, etc.) reduces their impact. When a gorgeous young girl exposes herself completely in a MetArt gallery there are frequently times I wish I could see images of her touching herself — but that's against the rules (and philosophy) of MetArt.
 
Which is one of the reasons SexArt was created. Here the girls can do what they want, the MetArt rules do not apply. Consequently, single girl sets contain explicit masturbation and manipulation, and two-ways and three-ways can take it all the way. And that's a very good thing...if that's what you want! If it's too much, if it's too explicit, and you're more at home with MetArt, that's obviously where you belong and they're more than happy to accommodate your wishes and desires.
 
My commenter also felt that hardcore erotica was somehow fake, that it was paid performers going through the motions without any genuine emotion or passion. But can't that be said of nearly all photo and video erotica? Unless you are viewing spy footage of a loving couple who are completely unaware they are being watched (which is most likely illegal or at least unethical), electronic erotica is all staged and "fake" to one degree or another. The models at MetArt aren’t captured by the candid camera — they are paid to pose in planned, art-directed, stylized photos. The performers in a SexArt movie are paid to portray their characters. The fact that they achieve such a high level of "believability" and "realism" is a tribute not only to the performers, but to the artists and technicians who painstakingly and lovingly craft these productions.
 
I have far too many thoughts on this general subject for a single post, so I'll wrap things up for now. But let me pose a couple of questions for those who care to comment: Are you a member of two or more sites in the MetArt Network? If s
