Explicite is a mish mash of great pictures and videos with an artistic and amateurish flare. The girls are beautiful, yet realistic in their looks. The pictures are taken by the owner of the site, John B Root, who is quite good and delivers professional pictures while still giving you that amateur look. You can either view the photos in low resolution (600x400) or high resolution (1800x1200), the first being slightly too small for me and the latter being a bit too big, especially if you're one of those guys still using a 15 inch monitor, you'll be scrolling all over the place just to see the girl from top to bottom. Just the same, to have that kind of quality of picture is a huge bonus for a pay site; it also works well with the close-up pictures, if you know what I mean;)?
Apart from the amazing quality, there's the quantity, too many pictures to count. Each set can have anywhere between 25 and 150 photos, and most containing a video with it as well. There's something here for everybody, from girls frolicking to fisting and anal, watersports, oils, and all others in between. The site divides girls into three groups: there's the Debutantes, who are said to have never been filmed or photographed naked before, then there's the Hardcore section of girls who have "already proved their skills with sex", and then there's a section called the Attic, where the opinion of the site is that these are the less attractive girls. Along with the pictures section, Explicite also offers a Film section, where French-made films can be viewed. All video formats are in Windows Media and are of good quality. The language spoken in all of them is French, which was both a tease and somewhat exciting at the same time.
The site updates three times a week, Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday nights and every thing is clearly laid out with very nice design and navigation. There's even a drop down search menu on the main page where you can search by: girl or film, activity, or by keyword, once you've gotten Explicite savvy or in case you know what kind-of action you're looking for and want to go straight to it. All pictures and movies can be viewed in either high or low resolution. If you chose to view the pictures in low resolution, there's a zoom option on every picture so you can view the picture in the high resolution format as well. Each set even has a thermometer reading next to it, rating the action. The design is very imaginative and the site will keep you busy for a very long time.
There's so much of a variety here that it's really hard to think that one could tire of this site, and with updates three times a week, it might be impossible to get bored. Explicite offers a "3 day discovery" for about eight dollars, which I wouldn't suggest. There's so much original content here that you'd have a real hard time not wanting more at the end of those three days. The 1 month recurring option is exceptionally priced at $24.95, and if you're really into downloading a lot of porn, it might be worth the 90$ for three months option.
For a new site that has been around for only a little bit over a year, the amount of content and devotion to the site that is apparent by the owner, John B. Root, is impeccable. The overall design of the site is imaginative and well thought out. While I didn't find many model-like girls here, they do offer the sexy amateur look that most porn audiences enjoy maybe even more. The quality of the pictures is well appreciated by its viewers, I'm sure, and contributes to what overall makes this site clearly deserving of its top notch status.

Explicite is undoubtedly one of my favorite sites on the Internet. The thought and creativity put into each picture set and every video, coupled with the outstanding quality and professional site design is what makes this site the splendor that it is. It's been a little over 6 months since we've last looked at it, and it's high time we had another look, especially since we now know some of the horrors of what's out there:).
When we first reviewed Explicite I believe the count on pictures was around 23,000 with around 300 videos. Just over 6 months later and the number of pictures is up to 27,000 with around 450 videos—not bad—and of course you can still expect to find the same great quality pictures offered in 2 different viewing sizes, with the larger coming in at 1200x1800 pixels, they're incredible! Unfortunately, the videos still have a ways to go when it comes to quality since the hi band streams at an average of 350k, and the low band as low as 50k. With so much great quality everywhere else, you'd think they'd get crackin' on those videos. I can only hope that's yet to come.
It looks to me like there's been a few changes in design as well, but only when it comes to displaying the content for each girl. Overall, though, the site is still browsed the same and the enormous variety of content to be found here is just as good as ever. Explicite is still one of my favorite sites, and overall, simply one of the best sites on the Internet no matter how you look at it. The quality of the pictures, the variety of content (both hardcore & erotic), and overall devotion to a site is something that's not easily found in websites these days. Explicite is one website that is truly meant to be embraced.
Score remains at 95.7.

It's about time for follow-up #2 at Explicite and I'm happy to say that the site seems to continue to be heading in the right direction! Updates used to be expected generously 3 times per week and recently that has even been bumped up to an impressive 6 times per week. Of course the content numbers have increased as well and the newest videos are promised to come in even higher video quality formats with the high quality option streaming at 680k and the low at 350k. This will be probably the greatest improvement to the site since we've last reviewed it and I am looking forward to seeing some of these videos in their high quality splendor! Explicite is still an extremely well put together site of artistic nudes and hardcore photography.
Score increased from 95.7 to 96.0.

Third time back here at Explicite and I'm thrilled to see that all of the major improvements that were just coming into play last time we were here are now the norm; including 6 updates per week and higher quality videos. My one and only con here had to do with there not being a zip file download option for the images and I'm pleased to see that they've now tackled that too, as all photosets are now available as high quality zip file downloads. It's always nice to see an already great site continue to take itself to the next level and because of that, coupled with the ever increasing archive of content (35,000+ images and close to 600+ videos), Explicte remains a top site for those of you looking for professional, high quality content that offers both softcore beauty and a hardcore flare.
Score remains at 96.0.

I love Explicite, always have. It's one of my most favorite sites out there, combining real sexual flavor with great quality and artistic style. A couple of things have increased this time around, unfortunately one of those things is the initial/join price. New members will have to pony up $38.95 before the price drops down to the recurring price of $29.95 per month. What you are getting for the initial increase is lots more download options for your videos: MPEG, DivX, iPod, WMV and QuickTime, daily updates and archives that account to over 47,420+ images and 718+ videos. Of course you also get the Explixite standards of amazing quality images, zip filed images, gorgeous models, etc. The start-up price is definitely getting up there, but it doesn't make me love Explicite any less.
Score decreased from 96.0 to 95.0.
